THOUGHTS OF OBSIDIAN

CHAPTER 6
Shadow

The next few weeks were hell for him. Grandpa and I tried to teach him how
to speak, but he would only talk to me and even then, he spoke in broken
sentances. It was hard to understand him and he got frustrated with himself
and stopped talking entirely. Then to make things worse, Professor James would
see him crawling after me down the hall (he hasn't quite got the hold of walking
on two feet just yet) and would grab him by the arm and pull him up. I never
heard such a soul seering sound as when my baby cried out. I would strike
James everytime he touched Sonic in a bad way, and the Professor would scowl
and disappear.
It was a weekend nearly a month after Sonic had transformed. He was sitting in
the shadowy corner of a room that had been set aside for him. His little black
hands were busy building towers with some building blocks I had given him when
I had come in. It was hard to see him in the shadows because of his coloring,
but I found him playing. I smiled and made my way towards him.
"Whatcha doing, baby?" I whispered, watching him stack the blocks higher.
"Shadow play blocks."
"You're a shadow now, are you? You're a silly baby." I smiled, kissing his cheek;
an action that always made him squeel in delight. He stuck his tongue out as he
smiled and stacked the blocks higher.
"Mommy like shadow play?" He asked turning his innocent face towards me. There
was that shadow again. Why did he always call himself that?
"I love your tower. It's pretty and very high. Can you get it higher?" I asked
and watched as he placed the last two blocks on top. Amazingly, the tower hadn't
fallen. "Sonic, Why do you always call yourself shadow?"
"Dark. Like shadow. Grampy call shadow Shadow. Shadow like." he answered
knocking the tower down so he could build something else.
"You like the name Shadow?" I asked, handing him a few blocks that had strayed
away from the rest.
"Shadow like Shadow. Grampy like Shadow. Mommy like Shadow?" he asked turning
his innocent face on me again. How could anyone resist an adorable face like that?
"Of course, baby. I like Shadow." I answer kissing his cheek again. He sticks
his tongue out and smiles again as his stomache erupts in a fit of hunger. He
cocks his head and looks down at his stomache, poking it with his finger.
"Shadow noisy." I couldn't hold the laughter back anymore. Shadow cocked his
head at me as I rolled on the floor in an unforgiving fit of laughter. I was
taking a breather a few minutes later when the little twerp decided to pounce
on me. "Why Mommy laugh?"
"Because you're silly." I answer sitting up. "Common, let's get you something
to eat before you make a noisy again." I contain my laughter this time, but
a few snickers still escaped. Shadow places his hand in mine and we walk to
the cafeteria.
