A/N: It's 2 A.M in the morning and all my writing skills have all gone POOF. So, if this horrid well, Read and Review. PLEASEEEEE!

Disclaimer: Dude, I don't own Sonic and sadly I never will. Yuji Naka, Sega and lots of other big important people own him. I mean, could you imagine the chaos that would ensue if I DID own Sonic? Heaven forbid.

Trapped in a Shadow

He was encased, against his will
He was saved, his life given another chance
But did it matter
When she would be gone?

Maria, he wanted to whisper
as cold tears streamed down his face
and his heart clenched tightly
as he rocketed away from her
From the light,
From his life

The dull numbness seared through his already trembling body

Let me die,
Rang his thoughts as the cold grasp of fatigue wrapped around his neck
Let me be with her
He mentally pleaded, as more tears rolled down his cheek

The eternal darkness of space whizzed by him
Silently pulling him away from her
And he could hear, once more, the resounding shots
Of bullets as they drove mercilessly through Maria's stomach

Her final wish rang in his ears
and he closed his eyes,
trying to dispel the thoughts from his mind

But as he flew away from her,
and as one final tear escaped his closed eyelids

A faint whisper traveled around him
It was a quiet whisper, streaming through his ears,
A soft, almost silent, murmur echoing in his mind

Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog

And suddenly, the thread of her life split
Into two discarded pieces of string

Please, Shadow

Do it for me

And for the people on that planet

Please, give them a chance...

To be happy...

His whole life shattered
His body suddenly became limp
and his expression was eerily peaceful
as he silently spiraled away from her
and the remaining pieces of his life,
descended along with him

Into the everlasting dark,

Into the Shadows of his life

A/N: Ok…I have NO idea what was going on in my head when I wrote this at 2:00 AM in the morning…

But I am sleepy and my head IS throbbing mercilessly, but hey, what's a girl to do against headaches? God, I'm just too sleepy I don't know what I writing...the square root of 0 is 1...or is it 867...or do I like apple pie? My hat is alive...there it goes, gone wit da wind. FLY HAT, FLYYYYYYYY!

Throbbing head, Fathers Day cards littering the wall…God, I need a Tylenol…

As for anyone who is reading my other fic: Konton no Megami I, I'm in the process of finishing and revising chapter 2 so wait for just a bit longer.
