Chapter 3: Left Behind

AN: I've got a Death Note! I've got a Death Note! I've got a Death Note! And guess what I'm writing. : P.

He only had a few moments to be shocked before the tall, lanky silver hedgehog attacked him. Shadow however had not forgotten how to fight, and quickly sidestepped. The young hedgehog was not giving up though and kept attacking blindly, Shadow kept sidestepping. But Shadow was just stalling. If he wanted to take out this kid it wouldn't be hard, he looked about ready to collapse and probably hadn't eaten in weeks. There was also something on his wrists that was causing him pain and making him attack faster and more wildly. And there was a look on his face, a look of desperation and determination. There was no doubt: this kid wouldn't give up.

So Shadow knocked his feet from under him, quickly grabbed his hands and sat on him, so that he was on the floor with his hands detained and couldn't get up. The kid kept struggling and glaring at hi. Shadow just rolled his eyes and with his bare hands took the restraints off of him. "Now, mind telling me why you attacked me?" Shadow asked. The boy's eyes widened as if he hadn't noticed who he was attacking. "You're the one in the tank?" it was posed as a question and Shadow was tired of being nice "No shit Sherlock". Shadow opened his mouth to say something else when a small moan pierced the air and out of the corner of his eye he saw movement. The boy went stiff beneath him and suddenly Shadow was being held in the air, with a strange blue light surrounding him. The boy ran to the corner and then suddenly the thing in the corner was floating too.

In the light Shadow could see it was the body of a girl, a girl who looked on the brink of death. Shadow also noticed that the boy's hands were glowing the exact colour of the aura that surrounded both him and the girl! "She needs food." Shadow commented, "And she's probably dehydrated.". The boy's head shot up and looked between the girl and Shadow, then after a few minutes, nodded. Shadow was brought back to the ground and the boy looked at him with pleading eyes, "Where do I find food?". "Well, it's sure not gonna be in here. Where's the exit to this place anyway?" "I don't know. I was taken here when I was four, so my memory isn't the best. And even if I did remember, they blindfolded me when they brought me in."

They took him when he was four? Was all Shadow could think, until he realized that the boy was still waiting for him to say something. Shadow sighed, "Guess we'll have to find the exit ourselves then… Hey runt, what's your name anyway?"

"The boy's" POV

Runt? What does that mean?

Third Person POV

Shadow waited and waited, "Kid, your name?". "Oh! Oh yeah, it's 34275." The kid doesn't have a name? What kind if monsters were these people? "Not anymore kid." 34275 looked surprised and Shadow continued "Your name is now 'Silver'." (AN: Yay! Uncie Shadie named him!). Silver could only nod his head to this statement.

"Okay now that's settled, we should head east." At this the boy looked confused, "Why East?". "The air smells fresher that way." Shadow stated as if it was obvious. Slinging the girl (who he could now tell was a purple cat with a red gem on her forehead) over his shoulder, Shadow led the way through the lab, looking for any more evidence of who he was. The only thing he saw was rubble, skeletons, medical supplies and the occasional rat though.

Shadow was so focused on looking for a way out that he was surprised when Silver spoke up, "Will she be okay?". Shadow looked at the boy and saw sadness and despair. Shadow shrugged, "You two were friends?". This caught the runt off guard, "Not really, but… I just wanted to save someone, everyone was dying and I could hear their screams! I wanted to save someone!". By the end of his speech Silver was crying.

Shadow put a hand on his shoulder and said, "You got honour, kid. I can tell you that.". Shadow then nodded to the end of the tunnel, "The exit's right there. I'm sure she'll be fine.". Silver nodded and continued shuffling behind Shadow, until Shadow stepped in front of the exit. Shadow kept reading the words and yet they still didn't make sense; why would a word he has never heard before make him feel like this? What was so special about 'The ARK'?.
