ARGH! Why the hell do I keep coming up with more story ideas? Jeez, I'm always listening to music and it gives me new ideas!

Summary: When Shadow mysteriously disappears one night, the only thing he left behind was a strange note, taped to Sonic's front door. But when the black hedgehog returns 5 years later, there's something horribly wrong with him...and is it really the real Shadow?

OoO

Chapter 1

Shadow's POV

I have been dreading this day for 10 years now.

Why did I make that stupid deal with him? Because I didn't know back then what he really wanted with me. He wanted control over me, and I knew he thought that since I was a creation, that I'd take orders from him. Wrong.

All I wanted was the disk, not seeing the whole picture of what was to happen. I can't go back, I have to go, because I swore on the Chaos Emeralds...

Nobody, not even the guardian, knows anything about making vows on the Emeralds. It says in the old Echidnain legends that if the promise is broken, you will be cursed. There was another part to it, but the scroll had seemed to be missing a huge chunk to it; ripped off by someone.

But apparently he did. And to make things even worse than they already were, I lost the disk on my fall to Earth; I was so...I can't even describe it...

I'm still wondering whether I should leave the note I wrote to them...I don't want them to go looking for me. But here's the thing: I want them to know what's going to happen to me, but I'm not going to tell them directly. If he gets ahold of that note or if they lose it, it's all over for me.

I'm currently walking down the street for the last time on my own free will, something I'll probably never do again. I wonder what this world will think when I'm working for the enemy... then again, they've never completly trusted me, so why should I care? It's always been me against the world.

But the one thing that's going to bother me is the GUN Commander. He's always sworn I was evil, and now I'm just going to prove him right by doing this...if he even reconizes me when that bastard is through with me.

After careful consideration, I've deacided to leave the note, just for the heck of it...just because they deserve to know what happened to me, cause chances are, I'll be fighting them someday once again...

Sneaking up to that blue hedgehog's house, I quickly post the note messily on the front door, and take one last look around me. I'm sad to say it, but I'll miss fighting alongside that blue idiot and his friends.

I disappeared in a flash of light.

Thanks for the memories...

OoO

Andd, there you have it. Chapter 1, which is really a kind of prolouge, but whatever. Chapters will get longer, I promise! Thanks for reading and RR please!
