A/N: Tryin' to make an original story. I am pretty sure my concept is
original, but I dunno. I just wanted to get Chapter 1 up to make it more
interesting right now and I will probly update weekly after this. BTW, for
the first part of this Chapter, imagine yourself in Shadow's place while
your read(its scary).
Enjoy!
Finding A Way: CHAPTER 1
The gothic hedgehog was now almost at the ocean. He was falling as fast as he could skate. It was now that he started to go delusional. His head hurt and he felt like he was going to throw up. But he couldn't. Out of pure fear, he stared to quiver and tears were being forced out slightly.
He kept his eyes closed, but a feeling in his chest told him he was close to the water. So close. He tried to imagine how much he was going to suffer when he drowned. Gasping for air until his body just went limp?
Seemed like suffering. But, he knew there was nothing he could do but accept this cruel fate. He failed to burn up.A price to pay for being The Ultimate Lifeform.
He gritted his teeth, the time was now, he knew it.
And he was right.
Shadow hit the water with a blood curdling smack, and down he went.
At first he held his breath out of instinct. But he didn't want to open his eyes. His arms and legs seemed to have a mind of their own as they struggled in vain to get back to the surface. What he could remember of his life was flashing before his eyes. He clenched his fists and started to black out. So sure that this was it.
Something was swimming in that water though. And it seemed that perfect timing was involved here. Seeing a black ball of fur drifting to the Ocean floor, the merhog swam as fast as her tail could take her and struggled to pull Shadow to the surface.
She dropped him a few times, as she was in complete panic. But out of all the odds, she pulled the black hedgehog up to the surface just enough for his head to poke out of the water. In a spring of luck, there was a rock sticking out of the water near by. The merhog rushed Shadow over and flopped him on the rock.
She didn't know what to do. He looked dead and she was scared to see if he was breathing. She gulped and put her head to the hedgehog's chest. There was a small murmur of a heartbeat.
Not having any experience with medical attention, she did the only logical thing.she slammed her fist hard into his back.
This caused him to cough up the water that was suffocating his lungs. But he still neither moved, nor gained consciousness. Not wanted to touch him anymore, she waited for him to be okay. This was a perfect time, however, to get a good look at this strange being.
He was black and red, much the opposite of her white quills. He wasn't too banged up as far it seemed, except he was missing his left shoe and wrist guard. His other shoe being slightly charred. He was nice to look at though.
It seemed like hours to her, waiting for Shadow to bring himself to consciousness. She wanted to see if he was alright just as much as she wanted to hear his story. Resting her head on the rock, she waited.
She was nearly dozed off when she saw him move his arm.
Shadow wondered where he was, was he in Heaven? If it was, the cloud he was on wasn't very comfortable. He felt wet and cold. His muscles ached, he wanted to curl up in a ball from the way he was feeling right now. Forcing open his eyes, he saw a blurred vision of miles and miles of water. He closed them, not wanting to see another drop of water as long as he lived.
/This isn't Heaven./ He thought, /I am still alive/
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ To Be Continued.
(A/N: Yes, I know there isn't any dialog in it yet, next chapter there will be a lot, though, so don't complain about that. As always R&R)
Enjoy!
