Chapter 2: Angst
I awoke the next morning. I looked at the alarm clock next to me: 5:50. Good, that's when I wanted to wake up.
I pushed myself off the bed and rubbed the sleepiness from my eyes. I walked a couple feet to make it to a couch. I sat down on it and turned on the T.V.
I sighed tiredly as I surfed through the channels. I finally found the news channel and listened intently. I suddenly saw something, a white blur. I moved the comfy chair closer to the T.V. and turned up the volume.
They started talking about the weather. Who cares! They finally went into the stories. They started talking about a white hedgehog killing people, yelling my name. They showed a movie of it. The movie included his voice, the voice like mine. I instantly knew it was Light.
"Killing innocent people?!" I yelled to myself. I turned the television off and opened up the window. I got out and hopped on top of it. I slid the window closed and jumped from my spot. I started running down the building, evading windows.
I finally slowed down as my feet touched the ground. I started running in a random direction, looking for my enemy. I suddenly saw it, a white hedgehog about to shoot a beam right through a women's face.
I leaped and kicked him away from the women. "Sorry," I said to the girl as she ran away. I looked away from the fleeing girl and glared at my enemy below me. I put my foot on his chest, right on top of this black patch of fur.
He then grinned and moved his foot up. It kicked me right between my two quills, sending me off him. I bounced and hit the ground on my face, back really acing. He approached me, the three hairs on his forehead falling in front of his right eye. He grabbed me by the neck. I stayed still, thinking of what to do.
"So, Shadow, we meet again," he said in a deep voice like mine. I knew it was him.
"Yeah," I replied. "It was fifty years, Light."
Light's grin faded. "And to think I still hated you after fifty years of being frozen in ice."
My eyes moved and looked in my hand. My Chaos Emerald was there. I guess Light hadn't noticed it. I clutched it and looked back at Light. "Who released you?"
"I freed myself," he replied. "The ice started to melt. I used one of my attacks, the Melting Ice technique, to free myself. I quickly found my gem and left that dirty place."
I felt my hand hold my emerald tighter. I felt its energy flowing through me. I smirked. I called out, "Chaos Spear!"
Light's eyes went wide as spears of lightening struck him. His hand opened and let my neck free. I then back-flipped away from him and ran at him, hitting his stomach.
I kept smirking. "You let your guard down. I thought you were better than that." I turned around after he fell to the ground. I whispered, "Chaos Control." And I went through my normal purple and green vortex.
I stayed calm, getting used to the swirling colors. I could've sworn I heard Light mumbling to himself. What does it matter? I saw the yellow light opening up before me. My eyes closed. I fell from the vortex that was invisible to the world. I landed in front of a shoe shop. I walked inside. It was only then that I realized UI had no shoes on. I bought a pair of soaps and paid for them.
I dashed from the store, keeping my eyes out for trouble.
I then recognized the building where my room is. I ran up the building and finally found my window. I opened it and hopped inside. I looked at my emerald, and then there were flares of red inside it.
What could be wrong? I looked from my emerald and gasped at what I saw lying on the floor in my room.
