When the Whole World's Against You
Chapter 1: The Nightmare.
"Why keep fighting, Shadow?" The evil clone asked. "The whole world will soon turn against you...Why fight for them, when they will fight against you later?"
"Because...I was created to save this world, whether they like it or not!"
"I see...But...This is your last warning...your last chance to save yourself...Join with me, Shadow. Save yourself before it's too late..."
THUMP!
"Ugh..."
That was the first thing Shadow could say as he got up off the floor... or, at least, sat up. "Darn it." He said, looking at a bruise that had formed from falling off the bed so much.
"Shadow!" He heard someone yell. A young-looking bat girl, around the age of eighteen, came running up the stairs. "Are you okay?" She asked as she helped him up.
"Ugh...Yeah...Just...Another nightmare..." Shadow said as he put his hand on his head. "Do you have any Tylenol?" Shadow asked.
"Oh...You use Tylenol..? I feel so bad for you...Try Advil! It works SOO much better!" Rouge said as she started running back downstairs. Shadow crossed his arms and tapped his foot. A moment later, Rouge came running back up the stairs with a bottle of Advil. "Here, try this!" Rouge said as she handed him two pills.
"What is this, An Advertisement?" Shadow asked, already fed up.
"No, Shadow. Just take them." Rouge answered as she started walking downstairs. Shadow sighed.
"All right, all right." Shadow said as he took the pills with a glass of water.
He sat down on the bed, knowing that Rouge had gone to go make breakfast.
Rouge came walking back upstairs holding two plates- One with eggs, and one with bacon...
Because everybody loves bacon.
Not-so-much eggs. Just bacon.
"Hey, Shadow." Rouge said as she set the plates down on the over-sized night-table. Shadow still just sat there. Rouge sighed as she sat down next to him.
"You look like you're thinkin' pretty hard about something...Want to talk about it?" Rouge asked, still feeling worried about her best friend. He acted like this often, but somehow, Rouge still found herself worrying.
"..." Shadow still remained silent.
"Shadow?" Rouge said as she nudged him.
"What?" Shadow said as he snapped back into reality.
"Is something wrong?" Rouge asked. "Ugh...We can talk about it later... Your food is going to get cold." Rouge said as she walked out of the room.
