So here is the redone version of chapter three. I decided to revamp the whole plot I had in the old chapter three. I hope you guys like it!
~Chapter Three Redo~
Sonic's eyes shot open. He quickly sat up, and soon regretted his actions, almost crying at the pounding pain in his head. He sat against the shack wall, rubbing his temples, in an effort to make the uncomfortable pain go away.
Sonic yelled when ice cold water was thrown on him. He looked up to see Shadow, smirking while holding a now empty bucket.
"What the hell was that for!" Sonic growled, glaring menacingly at Shadow.
"Damn!" Shadow said. "I thought you were still sleeping!"
Sonic reached into his quills, and pulled out his cell phone, examining the damage. The phone was soaked, and Sonic knew it couldn't be fixed.
"You owe me a new phone!" Sonic said.
"Why?" Shadow asked.
Sonic held the phone up, making sure the ebony hedgehog saw the water dripping from it.
"Water damage," was all the cobalt hedgehog said.
Shadow held up his hands in apology. "Sorry." He smiled. "Are you hungry?"
"No," Sonic said. He blushed when his stomach growled loudly. "A little," the cobalt hedgehog sheepishly admitted.
"Then let's go get some food."
~Solanum~
Sonic looked around the forest as he followed Shadow. A occasional breeze blew through the forest, causing the light filtering through the tree branches to dance around.
"So," Sonic said after a while, "why are we in a forest? I thought we were looking for food."
"Exactly," Shadow replied. His ears twitched, and he looked around, before dashing off into the bushes.
Sonic folded his arms, tilting his head in confusion at the bushes. Where the hell could he have gone? He clutched his stomach as it growled. I'm SO hungry! My stomach is really starting to ache…
A lone cry echoed through the forest, causing Sonic to momentarily forget his problems. Whoever made the cry sounded like they were in agonizing pain.
"What the-" Sonic stopped when he heard something in the bushes. He watched in utter shock when Shadow stumbled though the bushes, pulling a lifeless deer behind him. Shadow plopped the dead deer down at Sonic's feet. Sonic felt a little bile rising up in his throat when he noticed the deer's bloody neck.
"Food," the ebony hedgehog said, smirking.
"I can't eat that!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's a poor, defenseless animal, and you just murdered it! What'd you do? Snap its neck?"
Shadow nodded. "Yes. You a vegetarian or something?"
"Well, no…"
"Then why are you being so fussy? You complained about being hungry, so I brought you food. Eat it."
"But it just died!" Sonic held his nose as he looked away. "I can already smell the scent of death coming off of it! Can't we just go get a chilidog or something?"
"Just eat it, hedgehog!"
"No! I can't eat the filth zombies eat!" Sonic quickly realized what he said, and covered his mouth. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that," he mumbled. He looked up to see Shadow looking at the ground, an unreadable expression plastered on his muzzle. Shadow didn't have to say anything for Sonic to see how much he'd hurt the zombie hedgehog with his comment.
"Shadow, I-"
Shadow held up a hand. "Save it, hedgehog."
Sonic could only watch as Shadow turned his back on him and walked away, leaving him alone.
Sonic looked at the deer. I'm such an ass! I should've just shut up and ate the damn thing! Now he probably hates me…
The cobalt hedgehog stood there, hoping that Shadow might come back. After a few minutes, he let out a resigning sigh, and started back towards his house.
Sorry for being gone for so long. I've been going through a lot (still am.) But they say writing is very therapeutic, and to be honest, I think it's helping. I apologize for this chapter being short, but this is a redo chapter, so I don't think it should be longer than the original chapter. And chapter four should be longer. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I should have The Black Knight and Angel in The Night updated soon because I'm in a writing mood!
