Chapter 4
~Angel's P.O.V~
I couldn't sleep... I only slept for 3 hours. Its 6:17am. I'm suppose to go home around 7am. I was up all night thinking about my mother... thinking about her being sick and all that made me feel light as air... I loved her so much! And my brothers too! They protected me! I can't wait to go home today! Well, that's if I go home. I never felt like this... EVER! Shadow makes me feel as light as air. Oh, I missed my mom so much! I just wish she was here so I can feel her soft warm arms wrapped around me. Holding me close, making me feel safe and heart-warming again. I just miss herm so much! I don't know how many times I can say it. It just feels like its not enough. I can't wait to feel her soft warm arms wrap around me! I like Shadow as a friend! Nothing more than you think of!
~Shadow's P.O.V~
I couldn't sleep, most of the whole night I was up thinking about Angel. That's how much I loved her. How could I tell her that now? I would sacrifice the world for her. I would never give her up for anything! Thinking about the hug, made my body tingle inside... I think the softer side is coming out of me. Or, it might have been there the whole time. I just can't recognize it just yet.
~Angel's P.O.V~
"Angel, sweetie?" I heard a voice call.
"What?" I said waking up and pulling the covers over me, from the sunshine shining in my face.
"Don't you want to go home." the nurse said smiling at me. I pulled the covers off of me and sat up. At that point... I thought of Shadow. I don't care about anything else! I just want to see my Shadow!
"Of course I want to go home." I said excited to see Shadow. The nurse helped me get out of bed. The only thing that was in my mind was Shadow and his warm black fur. I felt the unexplained feeling coming back. I can't explain it. How it felt towards me. I walked down the flights of stairs to see Shadow holding his arms out in front of him for me to give him a gigantic hug... And I did.
"Oh, Shadow! I missed you so much!" I said running towards him and jumping on him and wrapping my arms around him. He spun around. It felt so good to see him! Next thing you know, my heart starts pounding and my blood starts rushing and the heat from my blood starts to rise towards my cheeks. The unexplained feeling was happening again. Wait, what? Unexplained feeling? What?
"I missed you too, A lot." He said putting me down. He smiled at me.
"What?" I said smiling back. I can't believe I use to fear him.
"Nothing... I'm just glad you're coming home." He said pulling me in a tight embrace. It felt soooooo good. I smiled brightly.
"Me too." I said, hugging him back tightly.
"We could stand here, or we could go home." I suggested. He laughed.
"Alright, alright. Calm your nerves!" He said picking me up bridal style. The unexplained feelings was coming back. This time, it was much bigger than before. My whole face turned red as he began to walk home. I finally asked where we were going.
"Um Shadow? Where are we going?" I asked.
"Well, since you finally asked... we're going to your house." He said.
"Why?" I asked, screaming.
"Woah! Well I thought about it and I thought you want to go home. Right?" He replied, but asking me a question at the same time.
"No! I want to stay with you!" I was about to cry.
"Angel, you need to go home. Your mom is old and she's sick. She needs you" He said.
"Yeah, but my brothers can take care of her." I cried.
"Yeah, but Angel, it wouldn't be the same without you, your one of her kids. She'll die not to see you there. Maybe she'll think you're in the woods somewhere, or kidnapped." He explained to me. I looked down sadly, with depression to be exact.
"I-I guess." I said unsure of my answer.
"Plus, your mom is probably worried sick about you." He reassured me.
"Yeah, she probably is worried." I said constraining on my thoughts. We finally made it. It wasn't that far from where we live. I would think my mom would be worried but when I walked in the house... there was blood everywhere... on the walls, in the kitchen, on the furniture. At first I thought someone had a fight and it got ugly. But, I ran upstairs following the trail of blood where the blood have been scattered all over the bathroom. My puppy was barking. When I looked in the bathroom tub... it was over... I broke down... my mom was dead...I screamed with tears in my eyes, falling to the ground. Shadow came running in. I was surprised he was still there. He already knew what happen when he saw all the blood in the house. He pulled me in a tight embrace and held me tightly... My 4 month year old baby Husky puppy named Snowball snuggled up by us... my mom was gone... she was gone for the rest of my life. Who could of done this horrible thing to my mom. There was a note that said: PLEASE READ!
Dear Angel,
Did you really think I would never do something like this... well think again! You weren't suppose to escape! Scourge and Jet told me you were with Shadow and yours brothers were taking care of your mother! Your mom is dead and your brothers are with me! HA! So, this is what you get! You killed your own mother! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sincerely, E.M
Who has the initials E.M? I thought. Then I remembered who would of did it... Eggman!
I had no choice but to cry in Shadow's arms. He hugged back tightly, knowing he was going to kill Eggman for making his crush cry.
~Shadow P.O.V~
That bastard! I'm going to kill him! He made my little Angel cry! I was not about to let this slide! I've had to many things slide past him! But not this time! But when? When was the right time to do it?! Not right now obviously... I have to think about it.. But he's not going to hurt my love again! And I mean it!
