Hey sorry for not updating sooner, I blame Sonic Heroes for being too
addictive. Plus the fact that I couldn't be bothered to write half the
time... Heh... Also another reason would be that a family member died just
recently.... ;_; So I didn't wanna write anything. But anyway here's the
not so awaited chapter 5!
This chapter is in first person, for once.
Chapter 5: Just Another Day.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I was running, running where? Was I running from someone? No, I wasn't running from someone. I was looking for someone, searching for them. Running down streets, weaving in and out. Buildings becoming blurs as I run past them. Eventually after countless hours of searching I hear a loud noise. Maybe where that noise is, is where they are. Following the sound I found the source and was frozen to the spot. I found the one I was looking for.
It was a horrifying sight, nothing I could do, but stand and stare from my frozen spot. I really wanted to do something about it but I couldn't, I was frozen to the spot. Like I was glued there to the floor. Then it happened, the worst thing that I ever thought that could happen, happened to the one I loved and cherished...
I woke up with a start. Sweat dripping down my forehead and quills. Shakily I brought my hands up to my face and covered it with them, brushing away some of the sweat.
"Man... That's never gonna leave me alone..." I sighed "If I hadn't of stood there, then maybe none of this would of happened". I looked towards my clock, 5 o'clock in the morning it said. "I might as well as go for a run, since I'm awake now..." I sighed again lying back down on my bed. After laying there calming myself down from my nightmare, for a couple of minutes I decided to get up. Putting on my gloves and shoes and walking quietly out of my room. Everything is very quiet; I'm surprised Tails isn't up doing something or other to his Cyclone. I was about to head down the stairs but I decided to head towards Shadow's room, which is across from mine.
Slowly I opened the door to Shadow's room; I quietly walked over to the bed. To see Shadow asleep with a peaceful look on his face, this made me smile and blush slightly. Now that I know he's alright I gently stroked the ebony coloured hedgehogs cheek and kissed his forehead before quietly leaving closing the door behind myself with a soft click.
After tip toeing down the stairs as to not wake anyone that's staying over this night I crept quietly towards the front door. Just before I reached it I heard something behind me, it was faint but I could hear something. 'Maybe it's just Tails rummaging around in the garage' I thought to myself as I slowly turn my head to look behind me. "AH!" I quickly cover my mouth and calm down.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you".
"Tails you scared me half to death", I said after calming down.
"Sorry..." He said again shifting his weight a little.
"It's ok", I said to him placing my hand on his shoulder. "What are you doing up anyway?"
"I've been working on the Cyclone and I came to get a glass of water" he said looking at me with his bright eyes. "Where were you going so early in the morning?"
"I was just going for a run" I said to him with my trade mark grin. He smiles and starts to head towards the kitchen.
"Well I guess I should know by now, so I'll see you later then, Sonic!"
"Yeah, see you later!"
I left the house and start of jogging, when I was far away from the house I started to put the speed on. Everything was turning into blurs as I ran by. I love to weave in and out of buildings; so I do and I eventually run up one of the tallest buildings with ease and stay at the top to enjoy the early morning. I can hear all the birds chirping their morning songs. It's beautiful to hear really beautiful. I eventually get bored and run down the building at break neck speed and run off towards the train station but with it being so early it's not open yet so I run along the rail tracks. You really shouldn't run along the rail tracks coz of it being dangerous and all but I don't care, never have really when I have ran on the tracks, before many a times.
I reached the Mystic Ruins in no time and I can see Tails' workshop from here. I jump off of the rail tracks and land with grace and head off towards the Mystic Ruins forest. When I get there, I'm running down the paths until I reach Big's place, he's not there. He must be off fishing with Froggy, heh... as usual. I continue on running around. I see Eggman's old base back when I fought Chaos. Wow that seems like ages ago, that's was before I even knew Shadow existed.
After I had a good run and got bored, I decided to go back home. Which was around lunchtime, I can't help it if I like to run for a long time. I eventually get back and everyone's up and around. I see Amy helping Shadow down the stairs. He sees me and looks a bit edgy and looks away quickly. He then heads off to the kitchen not saying a word towards me but quiet thanks to Amy. GOD DAMN YOU KNUCKLES!!! I'm gonna beat the living daylights out of you the next time I see you!!! I sigh out loud; Amy looks at me concerned.
"Are you ok Sonic?"
"I'll be fine..." I sigh again as I walk into the kitchen to get something to eat. It is lunchtime after all.
Shadow's sat at the table eating a sandwich, bless him. He looks like a lost sheep...
"Are you alright Shadow?" I hear Rouge ask him, he replies with a nod. "Good".
All of a sudden we all hear a loud bang. Shadow just about jumped out of his skin. I bet on anything that was Tails.
"Shadow stay here, while we go see what that bang was, ok?" Rouge asked him, he nodded again. "Come on Sonic".
"Right" I say as we both go off towards the garage just to make sure it was Tails and not anything else. It was, smoke was coming out of the garage. We enter covering up our noses.
"Maybe I shouldn't of put that there..." We hear a voice say, Tails.
"What did you do this time Tails?" Rouge asked the now black Kitsune.
"Err... put something where it shouldn't have gone..."
I sigh, not again... "Tails, maybe you should take a break from this" I start "Coz maybe next time you might actually blow up the garage...".
"Heh... Sorry Sonic... I guess an hour will do..." He half mumbles.
"No, how about for the rest of the day coz you just about gave Shadow a heart attack!"
"Oh ok, I guess you'll blame me if Shadow went back in the hospital..."
"Err... yeah!" She said sarcastically.
I chuckle as I turn to leave and head back to the kitchen. When I get there I explained to Shadow that it was only Tails making a mess of things in the garage. He nods, he's not very talkative today... Something must be bothering him.
"Shadow is there something bothering you?"
He shakes his head no and gets up to leave the kitchen. I know there's something bothering him so I follow him and ask again. I still get the same answer; he goes up the stairs to his room. I sigh but I'm not gonna give up until I get it out of him. So I go upstairs to his room and knock on the door. I hear him say come in. I enter; he sighs and lies down on the bed.
"Shadow, I know there's something on your mind and I wanna know what it is..." "Your very stubborn aren't you..." He sighs again.
"Yep".
"Fine if you gotta know, was what that red echidna say true?" Crap... He continues "I need to hear it from you, the truth because Amy says it's not true same goes for Tails"
"Well..." I start but I can't finish.
"It's true isn't it?" He asks quietly and I nod slowly. He needs to know I can't hide from him. "Why?"
I take a deep breath. "We were on bad terms with each other when we first met; we hated each other..." "But why did you want to kill me though?" "I don't know... For some reason I just did". He looks at me to continue. "I think it could of been jealousy, I thought you might of been better than me and I got jealous".
"Blind by jealousy..." He mumbles.
"Yeah..." I reply "But looking back to then, I really didn't mean it I would never want to kill another".
He nods his head. "Thank you".
"What for?"
"For telling me the truth" he smiles at me his eyes are bright.
"So you're not mad at me for that?"
"No" was my answer. "Because you told me the truth and if you had of lied I would've been" he smirked.
I can't help but chuckle "you can really be weird at times you know?" His smirk turns into a big grin. I sit on the bed next to his laying form and ask "how's your leg?"
He looks down at his leg then back up at me and says "Fine thank you". I laugh my head off at him the look on his face when he looked at his leg then back at me; I really can't describe it. The next thing I know he's pushed me off the bed. I look at him and pout he laughs and spreads himself out over the bed. That's when I pounced on him he shouts in surprise. He tried to get me off of him but I pinned him down being careful off his bad leg. I stop and look at him, I so want to kiss him but I'll probably scare him to death and he won't want to speak to me again let alone look at me.
"You know?" He brought me out of my train of thought "you haven't had anything to eat yet".
"Oh so I haven't" I state. "I should go and get something, I haven't had anything at all today". He smiles at me tiredly "You look tired.."
"I feel it"
"You should have a nap or something".
He nods in agreement, I get up off the bed to get something to eat and leave him be. But he grabs a hold of my wrist. "Huh?"
"Will you come back up here when you've got something to eat, I don't want to be alone", I nod at him, he smiles.
I got a couple chilli dogs out of the fridge and warmed them up in the microwave oven. Gobbled them down. I didn't realise how hungry I was. I went back up to Shadow's room after I had my lunch to find him asleep. Man, he was tired. I better leave him alone to sleep so I go back to the door and before I left I whispered. "I love you Shadow". Then I slowly closed the door behind myself.
~~~~~~~~~~~
That's it for this chapter. I don't know why, I just wanted to put a bit of fluff in there, sorry for the ooc-ness. Hopefully I'll get the next one up soon. Heh... then you say 'when is soon?' *shrugs* Sorry if you find an spelling errors, I tend to write my chapters at night until well into the morning.
