Shadow was sleeping silently in his room. The walls were a deep black and he had few wooden furniture in the corners. He groaned and nuzzled into his red pillow and then froze, his eyes tightened and he started to breath heavily. He turned onto the other side of the bed and grabbed the bed-sheet with his fists. He started sweating and twisted and turned, the bed was covered in the salty liquid. Maria!
"Maria!" Shadow cried out as he shot forward into a sitting position. The gun-shot rang in his ears like something completely new. For a few minutes he stayed like that, breathing crazily as sweat dropped from his fore-head and joined the rest on the wet bed. He grabbed his head with his hand and groaned with emotional and physical pain. The same dream for the last 6 days, soon it'd be a week of the tortured memories.
He already let go of his past as he said a month ago when he defeated Black Doom so why remind him now? Shadow was about to think of solutions for the causes of the nightmares before his GUN phone rang. Shadow sighed and grabbed the machine. "For your information Rouge," Shadow started before she could speak, "It's 3 in the morning and I am not in the mood for talking for no reason."
He heard Rouge sigh on the other end, "There is a good reason hun, It's Eggman again. He's being held of from destroying the city by Sonic at the moment but he's welcomed some other big robots to the party which Sonic isn't able to defeat. We need your help Shadow!" Rouge pleaded on the other end.
Shadow took this in, "I'll see you in a sec, just give me the location for where you're fighting him" Shadow swung his legs to the side of the bed and grabbed his shoes. "He's in Emerald Forest, please, hurry!" with that she hung up. Shadow put the phone down and started putting his hover-skates on, at least this'll keep him distracted from his strange dreams.
Shadow quickly fixed up his shaggy quills before opening the draw which held his green emerald. He hesitated as he saw a neatly placed gun beside it. He grabbed the emerald and the gun, who knows, it could be handy. Shadow closed the draw and looked at the photo of Maria and Professor Gerald. He did not realize that when he said the 2 magic words a single tear rolled down his cheek without him noticing. And fell off silently.
And then, he was gone and the tear slammed against the bedroom floor, leaving it stained with never ending love.
And…review please! :P
