Chapter 7
Shadow woke up early in the morning because he was confused at the events that took place last night when tails took silver and left. He got out of bed, showered, got dressed and went to the kitchen for breakfast. He looked at the time and it said five-thirty in the morning. He grabbed some eggs and made an omelette. He cooked the omelette and ate even though he had little appetite.
"It just feels so different without silver" Shadow said to himself. He got a container and placed the rest of his omelette in the container. He was saving it for later but he didn't know if later would come. Shadow grabbed his coat and walked out the door as he went to Sonic's house.
The walk to Sonic's house was long and lonely as shadow would sometimes stop and talk to the trees acting like they were silver. He then decided to keep quiet until he arrived at Sonic's house.
When Shadow arrived at Sonic's house, he knocked on the door. He heard nothing and then knocked on the door again. After about a minute, sonic walked to the door, creaking the door to see who was knocking at an early time. Sonic then opened the door to let shadow inside. The two sat down on Sonic's couch.
"Why are you here so early" asked sonic.
"Tails got mad at me for trying to help and took silver. He ran away with silver because I talked to you" replied shadow. "Silver just stood there in shock of what happened."
"I know how you feel, I might never get to see tails again" said sonic. Sonic trembled at that statement as tears started to pour out of his eyes.
"I may never see silver again" said Shadow as tears started to fall out of his eyes. The two hedgehogs then proceeded to hug as the both felt the pain of losing someone. After the two broke the hug, the two went back to talking.
"Hey shadow, do you want to…to live here with me" asked Sonic as he sounded lost without his best friend, his brother around.
"Sure, I need someone since silver...silver was…was taken by...by tails" replied shadow. He then proceeded to get up and walk to his house to get his things.
"Alright sonic, I'm gonna go grab my things and bring them here" said shadow.
"I come with you and help you out with that" replied sonic. The two then set forth back to shadow's house. The walk there felt different from the walk to Sonic's house. Shadow didn't feel as alone since sonic was coming along.
"This is going to take some time to get used to" said sonic. "My house is different from your house so don't hesitate to ask me for help or something."
"O...o...ok...sonic…sonic" replied shadow as tears we're still pouring out of his eyes. He knew sonic would help him but it will never fill his heart completely. There would always be a place for silver that no one could fill completely. After the two made it to the house, shadow unlocked the door and walked inside only to find silver and tails on the couch, watching television. Shadow ran to silver and hugged him as silver stood up and ran to shadow to hug him. The two hedgehogs embraced one another as shadow was so relieved to see silver.
Sonic ran to tails to hug him but instead, sonic got nothing but a shrug from tails. Tails had not forgiven sonic from the harsh words.
"What are you two doing here" asked tails in a dry tone.
"I was going to get my stuff to move in with Sonic because you two left but since you two are here I can stay" said shadow.
"You can and will still move out. You can live with sonic if you want, I don't care but from now on, this house belongs to me and silver" said tails.
"You can't do that, this is my house" said shadow.
"Sorry shadow but this is our house now" said silver.
"No...No...No" replied shadow in disbelief of what silver said. Shadow went quiet and just grabbed his stuff and left. As he left his house, he grabbed sonic and walked out the door. The two hedgehogs walked away from the house and to Sonic's house. The walk back was quiet with the occasional sob from shadow. As the two made it to Sonic's house, sonic opened the door and the two walked in.
Shadow dropped the boxes and walked to tails' old bedroom. He jumped onto the bed and just cried his eyes out onto the pillow. Now it was official. Shadow now lost silver.
