I'm not a lie

Shadow

This story doesn't start with the wind blowing around, start down at the basement of Sonic house, there where the laboratory of Tails is, he love to build stuff there, he spent a lot of time there and today wasn't the exception.

He were playing with some piece of electronic on his desk when a call rang on his computer, "who could be? at this hour and calling at my computer?" he thought, just for curiosity he answered the call. It started to up a video from Eggman, Tails were about to hang when…

"Wait!, don't hang, it's going to be quick" Eggman voice sounded a little different, not his usual evil tone.

"What do you want now Eggman?" Tails answered with a little patient.

"Well, I got a disc from the ark time ago, it were encrypted, really encrypted, but that isn't the point, the thing is the disc had a video from a camera in one room on the ark, the is damaged so the video just last a couple of minutes, you should see it" Eggman ended the call and started a download over the computer of Tails.

The download were fast, it was a short file indeed, Tails were glad that it wasn't a virus or something like that, he opened the file and the video started…

Video-

It was a camera in a corner of a room that looked like a play room, cause of some "toys" on the floor, but more like science toys. Nothing moved inside, when a voice came from outside of the room. "I think you are slow" with a laugh included at the end, the door opened and it was something no one has see it or would believe it. It was Maria Robotnic walking inside with Shadow over her shoulders, he was the one who said that and both were laughing, Maria put Shadow down and they start to playing with a game that included mirrors and shapes, after a minute Shadow asked Maria "Hey want to check times?" his voice sounded so relaxed, young and carefree, almost as happy as Sonic sounded; Maria were smiling and said "Sure!, let me grab the scores", she grabbed a tablet where it seems to be written some number and days, the door opened and Shadow put in position to run and when Maria shout "RUN", Shadow where almost back from running around the entire ARK station. Maria checked the time and announced to Shadow that he beat his last record. Shadow celebrates it with Maria, after that Shadow said joking to Maria that she could break her last record. She just ran without stopping in the line, Shadow could hear her laughing and running. Everyone knew that the ARK where a very large space station, so she were going to take time, but Shadow go search for her after he stop hearing her, the video continues in that empty room for a moment, when a laugh start hearing again closer and closer, the door still open so Shadow just pass holding Maria and he said "See, you beat your last record!". And then the video ended with statics, it had the day recorded and it was more than 50 years ago.

Tails were amazed of what his eyes just saw, he couldn't even think after a few minutes, that video showed the real version of Shadow and also confirm that he wasn't lying and better his memories were true. The first think that Tails did were to look for Sonic and bring him back to home so he can see it too.

Some hour later...

"What's the big surprise Tails and why the hurry?" Sonic said a little shocked for Tails behavior

"You must see this video, its real!" said Tails without finishing his line

"It is real what?" Sonic asked when the video started.

After a couple of minutes Sonic had that surprise face… "Unbelievable" it was the only word that Sonic could said after seen that.

"I'm not a lie…" a voice came from the stairs, it were Shadow who follow them. Tails get in shock almost jumping out of his chair and Sonic just stare at Shadow. Shadow had too many feelings after that, he were upset cause they didn't believe him, relief cause of his memories were true and sad… sadness, the memories of his past pass through his eyes, the fail. He wasn't ready to show both of his secrets emotion at the same night, so he stand up and start walking up, a tear came down his cheek, as he climb the stairs something were pushing him down, the memory of a lost friend were stronger than him, it has been something he wanted to hide behind that emotionless attitude.

"Shadow" Sonic said in a low voice seeing how his friend were trying to run away of the pain. He got no answer back, just the wave of a chaos control casted at the stairs.

A quiet and peace place to be with green grass waving with the wind a tree at the top of a hill and some flower right at its side. There Shadow appeared, he was sitting at that tree and those flowers at the side, wasn't a casualty, he planted them like a grave for his friend, she loved those blue flowers, he knew that. I'm sorry Maria, I cannot save you… I… analyze all the possibilities through those 50 years trapped in my mind and there wasn't even small chance to save you… not even today had a cure for that disease, even if I saved you that day… that horrible day… they destroyed the environment of the ARK, the only place you could live longer. Even knowing that I cannot set me free of that awful feeling that chase me every time I hear about you, not even after all those years and friend I got, I still can't find a way to feel again… like I was used to in the ARK. Shadow was thinking, almost talking to her in that lonely place.
