Once again I apologize for any lazy writing or it just being bad. I think I'm close to breaking my writers block but yeah..
Shadow's eyes became became empty, lifeless, no shine or signs of consciousness. Sonic tried to back away but Shadow got a tight grip on Sonic's wrist stopping any kind of escape.
"Ow! Let go you're hurting me!" Sonic cried.
The only reply the prince received was a snarl and tightened grip.
"Stop! I order you to stop!"
Sonic's heart started pounding in his chest, panic and pain racing through him. The panic was intensified when Shadow, with his free hand, reached for the dagger and pointed it under Sonic's chin. The blue hedgehog had to raise his head to avoid being cut. Shadow finally spoke, his tone of voice cold.
"Alright your bratty highness how would you like your death, quick and painless or slow and agonizing?"
Sonic couldn't respond, the words he wanted to say were caught in his throat.
"Well looks like you chose slow and agonizing. I would say it was nice knowing you but I would be lying"
"Shadow, please don't do this.. What is wrong with you?" Sonic begged.
Shadow placed the tip of the knife where Sonic's heart would be and slowly started adding pressure.
Sonic placed his free hand over Shadow's.
"I'm sorry, but it's not my time!" Sonic threw the dagger away from the assassin landing it in a space on the other side of the garden.
"You're only making this harder brat" Shadow said.
The shadow on the sundial had finally reached midnight.
Shadow released his grip on the other hedgehog, shut his eyes tight and groaned in pain.
"S-Sonic..?"
Sonic started backing away and nearly tripped. He looked down and saw the fabric with the spiked red symbol. Flashbacks of a dream started racing back. A figure in a black hood at the coronation, an arrow shot to the heart...it was Shadow.
Sonic gasped. "Y-you, you're the one from my dreams.. don't trust, and the one who killed me, it was you.."
"Sonic, please listen-!"
"No! Were you just playing with me this whole time!? Did you hear what I said? I love you! And I was played the whole time!"
Shadow attempted to walk up to Sonic, who immediately took another step back.
"Get away from me, assassin! Guards!"
Two armor clad knights rushed into the garden both stopped in shock from seeing their lost prince.
"Don't just stand there, arrest him for attempt of murder!"
The knights bowed their heads. "Yes, Prince Sonic!"
The knights shackled Shadow's wrists together and started dragging him to the dungeons. Scourge stood behind a column, waved Shadow off and smirked.
'He planned this whole thing..' Shadow thought.
Shadow turned back to Sonic who was stopping tears from falling. Scourge came out of hiding and put his arm around Sonic's shoulder and started leading him inside. The last thing Shadow heard Scourge say was.
"Don't worry cousin, I'll take care of you"
The worst has yet to come..
