The fall air is growing chilly out in the countryside... Winter is on it's way and it's shaping up to be a cold one.
Tails: *stands at the window and watches the trees swaying in the wind, leaning a bit on his cane and scratching at his Chuck-like mustache. He hates the cold...*

Shadow:*walks into the room with two cups of herbal tea held in either hand, approaching him as he sets one down on the sil in front of him. He looked no older then he had 50 or so years ago. One of the 'Joys' of being immortal*The weather doesnt know what it wants to do. It should be snowing but instead we're getting freezing cold rain.

Miles: *huffs and grunts with a soft nod, closing his eyes. He shakily picks up the cup and drinks it sip by sip. Even if he's weak and shaky, he is determined to remain as independent as possible. Healthwise, he was doing great for a mobian at 80* Yes... Well it will freeze over soon enough. *turns and ambles over to his armchair and sits with his tea in hand*

Shadow:*stands by the window as he looks out, having a good few sips of his own tea*Where does the time go, Miles..?

Miles: *glances up at him wearily, setting the mug down and reaching for his book and reading glasses* You worry too much about that.

Shadow:*laughs quietly*I have an eternity to complain about the speed of time, Miles.*sits down in the recliner as he looks down at the mug in his hands*

Tails: *opens his book and turns to the chapter he left off at, but glances up at Shadow again* What will you do after this? Have you still not figured that out yet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*stares at the cup for a moment before closing his eyes*Figuring out something as complex as that is impossible...I dont know what I will do...But I will do the right thing by the people I swore to protect.

Miles: *nods thoughtfully* Good answer... *chuckles quietly* Hard to imagine that I was once younger than you~ *looks over at the framed pictures on the walls. Only a few of them were of Miles as a child, back when they first met. But others were pictures of his wife, children, and grandchildren. His wife passed a decade ago and his children have all moved on, but he was content with his life. There was only one picture of that blue hedgehog. He sighs every time he glances at it...*

Shadow:*glances up at the clock as he sighs and stands*Time for the evening patrol.*finishes off the tea before stretching abit to ease some tense muscles*

Miles: *smiles and returns his attention to his book* Why don't you take a break from that tonight? You know you could use it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*sighs and shakes his head*As much as I would love to, I cannot. Sore muscles or not, I need to at least do one lap around the city forest.

Miles: *grins and shakes his head, turning the page* So stubborn. Thank you for the tea.

Shadow:*slips his shoes on that were at the door*Any time, Miles. Give me a call if you need anything.*puts his utility belt on which had medical equipment and small tools in it just in case he ran into anything and needed it*

The forest surrounding the city was even colder at night... and it seems a lot darker than usual. There have been rumors around the region of vampires returning to the forests, so everyone is getting paranoid...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*he had always scoffed at the rumors, but he never let his guard down just in case. Being ultimate had its perks during winter time or close to it. He was rather resistant to the cold and could handle it for a good hour or so before the shivering started. He walked over to the beginning of the path where his patrol started and began his walk. It normally took him about 40 minutes or so to jog around the city since it was on the smal side, half of it having been whiped out during the battle that sadly ended the lives of many, including Knuckles, Rouge, Omega, Cream, Cheese and Vanilla. Only half the city still stands today and the ruins are sadly home to drug adicts, homeless people and thugs. He walked down the slope, sliding down a smooth rock before getting back on the path*

After a good half hour, he gets to the heavier part of the forest, when he starts to hear rustling in the brush, a fair distance away from where he was*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*ear flicks as he crouches down cautiously and makes his way through the trees and thick brush to try and see what was making the noise. He carefully parts some bushes and looks through*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He sees some sort of creature or masked mobian curled up in some net of chains. The mobian groans and struggles to rip out of it but can't seem to get free enough to even move* DAMMIT!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*groans quietly in annoyance, believing it to be one of the pranksters that would set uo false alarms for him. Perhaos karma got one back for once. He steps out of the bushes casually as he approaches the stranger*You seem to be in abit of a bind, stranger.*grabs some heavy duty wire cutters from his belt*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
???: *face hidden behind a skeleton mask and hood, the dark furred mobian struggles against the chain net, only stopping when he hears Shadow step closer. Unable to see out of his adjusted mask, he pants* D-Don't make me hurt you...!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*looks concerned that this stranger was truely hurt and maybe not a vigilante, just based on how scared they sounded*Easy. Im only going to cut open the net.*gents down on one knee beside the net cautiously, holding abit of it as he starts to cut away at it carefully*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
???; *the moment he is free he leaps up with lightning speed and lands on his feet a few feet away, adjusting his mask so he can see again* Thanks I guess... *looks up at the hedgehog, pausing*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*gathers up the net into a ball as he stands with it by his feet, intending to dispose of it*How did you get caught in that anyway?*puts the cutters away as he notices the strangers arm was bleeding*You are hurt..!*approaches him abit*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
???: *takes as many steps back as Shadow takes forward*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*stops approaching as he looks at the bleeding arm, ears pinning down*I only wish to help you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
???: *lifts his hand up a bit toward Shadow, but stops himself and takes another step back* No... *drops his arm* You should stay away from here... sorry... *turns to leave* Thanks for the help, Shadow...

Shadow:*eyes widen*Wait..! How do you know my name??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
???: *freezes, seeming to tense as he looks down* Shit...

Shadow:*reaches out to touch his arm*You can't be from the city...I know everyone there...So how do you know me..??

Suddenly a large buck comes pouncing out of the bushes behind Shadow, obviously trying to get away from some kind of predator. It gallops away into the woods as soon as it came...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*gasps as he jumps out of the way, ears pinning back as he watches it gallop off*What in the world..?*looks back towards the stranger but finds him gone. He sighs and tries not to dwell kn the mystery, carrying on with his patrol with a puzzled look on his face*

The next day...
Miles: *enjoying some morning coffee as Shadow steps in* You're back already?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*he looks exhausted. Not from staying up all night, but trying to get his head around what had happened*Hmm? Oh well nothing really happened. Patrol was just as boring as usual.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Miles: *tisks and shakes his head, drinking from his mug* Shadow I know that look too well. If you're going to try and lie to me, at least make it a convincing lie...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*ears flatten abit as he sighs*It was just some vigilante in the forest...They just...they knew my name...And they were definatly not someone from the city.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Miles: *flinches and jumps a bit, choking on his coffee as he spits it out on instinct and coughs*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*flinches as he hurries over to him and pats his back*Miles?? What on Mobius is the matter??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Miles: *coughs and hacks as he grabs a paper towel and coughs into it a little* Chaos I didn't mean to make a mess...! *reaches for his cane and shakily gets up to try and clean the spill*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*gently atops him and has him lay down*I'll clean it up. But what caused you to freak out like that? Was it what I said?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Miles: *sighs as he reluctantly lays back on the couch, blushing from the fit* N-Nothing... I just... Well... *looks up at the ceiling* What did this person look like?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*cleans up the mess as he talks*They were jet black and scruffy looking, wearing some kind of skull mask over their face.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Miles: *closes his eyes, quiet for a few seconds* Shadow... don't worry about it. You were probably just mistaken. It could just be someone from Spagonia. You know the two cities aren't that far apart...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*relaxes abit at the wise words of Miles*Maybe you're right...*sighs as he stands, looking tired as he staggers a little from a small head spin*Hmm...Mind if I use your guest bed..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Miles: *closes his eyes* Of course. Is that even a question? *grins at him* Get some rest already... *when Shadow leaves, he slowly gets up and shambles to the dresser, looking at the picture of Sonic. He whispers to himself, ears drooping* Why are you back here...?

*The next few days come and go, snow beginning to fall as a sheet of white lightly covers the ground*
Shadow:*during his last few patrols since he had met that person he had kept an eye out for them. His breath fogs up from the light cold as he sighs*At least the weather knows what its doing now...But patrolling is going to be one hell of a task now...*walks along the trail by the Ring Pool which was a medium sized, shallow lake with a seemingly bottomless drop right down at the center the shape of a ring. Some say one appears if you're lucky enough to see it. He looks at the lake as he stares at his reflection. He more often then most people think, would fall into deep thoughts on what he would do after his last remaining friend passed...Miles would always ask him but he always gave the same answer...He didnt know...He was so deep in his thoughts he didnt notice the icy rock in front of him as his jet shoe slipped on it, falling over as he bumps his head hard on the ground, blacking out*
*A good few hours pass, the bump on his head and the cold having put him into a mini hibernative state*
Shadow:*his eyes hazily part open, his body covered in snow as he keeps trembling weakly. He could barely lift his head, keeping it on the ground as he tried to shift his freezing legs only to find them frozen in the icy lake, one frozen up to his knee and the other frozen just higher than his ankle*N...No...!*shakily tries to find the strength to find his phone in his belt*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But his phone is missing...! It must have slipped across the ice away from where he lay when he fell...
He hears footsteps walking across the ice toward him*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*his icy ears swivel back, his body almost completly hidden with all the snow piled on him*Wh-Wh-Who's th...there..??*his voice felt so sore and scratchy, causing him to give a few icy coughs from his frozen lungs*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
???: *he recognizes the stranger's shoes as being the ones belonging to the stranger he met in the forest before. Shadow feels himself being lifted from the ice carefully*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shadow:*his body tenses as his legs, still frozen in the ice, are pulled against, letting out a small cry from his strained muscles. The stranger hadnt seen his oegs since they were just covered in snow. Now the situation was abit more...difficult...*
