Shadow knew Sonic was right, he knew.
Shadow climbed in through his window and sat on the window seal, 'his words were sincere, true, but I'm a stranger in this family. Did they even want me? Was I just a replacement? Why do I hurt so much inside?' Shadow squeezed his arms around his body and shook in fear as tears formed I his eyes, 'why do u hurt so much?'
The door opened and Shadow quickly looked up in shock.
Miki was standing at the doorway with a frown on her face.
"Shadow, I'm worried about you," Miki said in a whisper.
Shadow looked away from her eyes and stood up from the window seal, "awhile ago, I learned from a friend that if you run away from your problems it brings more. I've been running, hiding my fears, hoping that they would melt away along with my memories, but I'm tired of running."
Miki remained silent.
"You can't hide from your fears. You have to attack them head on, overcome them."
Miki let a soft smile form on her lips, "Shadow."
"But I can't do it," Shadow said, "these memories, I don't want them! I don't want anything to do with my past!"
"Shadow?" Miki said and she began to walk up to him.
Shadow pushed Miki away and jumped out of his window.
"Shadow! No!" Miki shouted, 'what's happening to him?'
-
Shadow ran through the city, tears burned his eyes as he tried to push them away. Rain pounded on his face and he stopped dead in his tracks.
'It's dark,' Shadow thought, 'my heart is covered in darkness from being hurt by her.'
An image of Maria flashed in his mind and he fell on his knees, screaming and holding his head like he was in pain.
The images stopped flashing in his head and he stared at the ground.
"Are you alright?" a woman asked as she ran up to Shadow.
Shadow slowly stood up and he turned to face the woman. He dashed up to her and stabbed his hand into her stomach and ripped her body apart.
Shadow placed his fingers up to his mouth and licked the blood off of his fingers.
'More,' he thought, 'I need to find more people.'
Shadow noticed a car coming his way and he stood there, the car making a quick stop.
Shadow heard the doors open and the humans stood there in utter confusion.
"What were you thinking, asshole?!" one human male shouted.
Shadow slowly lifted his head and stabbed his arm through his stomach before they had enough time to even move.
The one human fell to the ground and began to crawl away, "what the fuck? You're crazy!"
Shadow ripped the other human's stomach out and he turned to face the last human.
"I'm getting the fuck out of here!" he shouted and stood up to run, but was face to face with a killer.
Shadow stabbed his arm through the guys mouth and yanked it out, blood flew to the ground and the headless man's body fell to the ground.
"More! It's not enough! I'll kill all of these humans!" Shadow said and jumped on top of a building, "I need more! I need more blood!"
