-:There is no light where I stand:-

-:Chapter three: You don't feel my pain:-

Dawn, people are still asleep.

Lights are still off.

Shops are closed and there is still no one of Eggmans robots around.

Diffrence? The sun is up.

But that's all, at least for a certain light blue hedgehog with long hair.

She walks around the streets, afraid, sad and cold.

What drives her?

A reason.

A reason to stay on her feet, a meaning to live.

But she had none for the moment.

She had always fought to help the dead, but she was tired of it.

She had enough of it… Hell she had done enough to be a saint.

But who is she?

She does not even know it herself…

All she knows is that ever since she was 13, she has been able to see and talk to ghosts.

At day, she just sees them and hear their voices.

At night...

…they take over her body.

Her actions, her will.

All she knows is that Shadow, who apparently shares something she has, might be able to help her.

At least, that is what the spirits have told her…

He can see the dead, just like her…

How?

"Another piece of blood…"

"He's a demon…"

"The DNA in him is more different then he knows…"

Spirit moved her hands to her head.

Not even on day they would leave her alone. 'The voices…'

Everyday… she cries.

She wants to die, but the dead need her.

More than she want to help.

"Taking a walk?" A voice behind her said.

She looked behind her, it was Shadow.

"Kill him."

"Help him."

"Tell him…"

"Fool him!"

The voices came back, in a bigger way, telling her what to do. There was something about Shadow and the dead…

"Sh-Shadow" Spirit said, sadly.

'Something is different about her.' Shadow thought. The girl seemed to be more in control this time. But she also seemed sadder than ever.

"Are you crying?" He asked.

"I always cry, just like you do inside." She said sadly, brushing away her tears with her hand.

"May I ask how you know so much about me?" Shadow asked, calmly.

"They tell me, even though I don't want to know…" She said.

"The spirits?" Shadow asked.

"Yes…" She said before coughing. "They tell me a lot about you. How you struggle to survive, without knowing it yourself as you are somewhere in the middle of hero and villain… You think you are fighting for power…"

Shadow frowned. "I don't?" He asked, crossing his arms.

She shook her head. "You are like me, you just never been able to really use your power."

Shadow was confused. "I have the same powers as you?" He asked, curiously.

"You felt them… nobody without the power can feel them. Since you are a creation, you are biologically just 5 years old. Your body though… is twenty."

Shadow thought about it, it could actually make sense. He had always been hearing things some of the times… and the reason he did not really see the dead could be since he was "born" 5 years ago.

"How can I see them? Is there something in my blood I don't know about?" He asked.

"All these questions…" Spirit said, shaking her head.

"You alright?" Shadow asked. Still not in a "care-about".

The girl just kept shaking her head. "I am never alright, that is why I'm warning you. Don't wake your powers, you will feel as bad as me."

Shadow chuckled. "Yesterday you wanted me to learn about my po-"

"It wasn't me!" Spirit shouted. "It was them, the dead! Please ju-"

Shadow was holding his hand up. "Quiet, you need rest."

Spirit looked blankly at him. "Don't you understand me?"

"I understand to one 100% what you are saying, I just don't care right now. I'm curious."

"But if I am close to yo-"

"If you are close to me…" Shadow continued. "I will have all the information I need."

Spirit sighed. "What makes you want to have a whole life of whispers just to help endless dead people?"

Shadow crossed his arms again. "A special person." He said in a, almost "normal", tone.

"Unless you already know her." He said, looking into Spirit's eyes.

She moved away her head, slowly. 'She does know her…'

"I been here to long, I have to leave." She said, nervously.

She started to walk away, but Shadow grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"Let me go! It's for your own good!"

"For my own good, or for yours?" He said back, coldly.

She stopped moving. Shadow moved his hand away from her arm.

"You really want to know the power?" She asked, still a bit nervous.

"Do you want help?" Shadow asked back.

She nodded slowly.

"Good, because I might just know the guy." He started to move back a little.

He waved at her, telling her to follow. "Come on, this way."
