The ARK was silent. Shadow walked around. His footsteps echoed. No one was there except him. Black Fire hardly talked to him anymore. He felt like he was unwanted, so he had locked himself up in the ARK with no one knowing. He remembered Maria.
She looked around the room. He hid in the closet. "Where are you!" she said. He moved further into the closet. Just then, he knocked down a broom and it fell on him. The broom knocked down a mirror, which cracked and cut him. He screached in pain. The girl opened the closet door and saw him pinned down with a glass shard in his shoulder. Tears ran down his face as blood oozed out of the wound. "Shadow!" the girl yelled in fright. She threw the broom off him and held him close. He cried into her shoulder. His blood stained her blue dress. She carried him to a large room. In there was the professor and a hedgehog that looked like Shadow. "Grampa! Help!" She cried. The other hedgehog ran to her in fear and took the small Shadow. He wiped away the blood and swiftly pulled the glass out. He pulled it out so fast that it didn't cause any pain. Shadow looked up at the both of them and smiled. The hedgehog smiled and the girl grinned. "Thanks Black Fire...thanks Maria..." Shadow said.
He
missed her. A lot. He walked up to a door. It opened on it's
own. He went in the room. It was the room where he had
gotten a mirror shard stuck in his shoulder. It's was his
room. He sat on his newly-made bed. He took the picture of
Maria on his pillow. "Oh Maria, where are you, why
don't you give me a sign!" he said
with closed eyes.
Just then, something fell and shattered in the closet. His
eyes flashed open and he jumped off his bed. He walked over
to the closet and opened the door. There, pinned under a
broom with a mirror shard stuck in her shoulder, was a
hedgehog with tears running down her face.
