Chapter 11, What I am

6:15pm October 22, 19#9

Shadow couldn't believe it. No, he wouldn't believe. It couldn't be true, not him, not him. But if he didn't belive it, he would be in denial for the rest of his life, his life, it no longer had any meaning! On the screen were all the files, progression, and status of Project S.H.A.D.O.W. He saw a the first creature created was a strange looking reptile (a/n: The biolizard! YAAY BIOLIZARD!!!), then a cat, then a dog, then a bird, then a human, then monkey, then a fox, then a rabbit, then, finally a hedgehog. All in all, the info meant he was meant to be a weapon of mass destruction, like the weapons he sold to the foreigners, or was he sold to those foreigners? Gerald put his hand on Shadow's shoulder, "I am sorry--" Shadow jerked away and looked at him dead in the eyes, "I hate you... I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!" He ran out of the EP room crying. Maria gave Gerald a death glare, "I will never forgive you for this! You may have did many bad things in your life but this was the worst!" She ran off to find Shadow.

Shadow didn't know where he was going, nor did he care. He just wanted to get as far away from everyone as possible. He didn't even know where he was, it didn't help that he couldn't even see, the tears had blinded him. The next thing he knew he was on the ground. He rubbed the tears away from his eyes and looked up. He tripped over the hiding place and saw the sticker. Yes, the sticker that was a rainbow peace symbol, over the years for hundreds, maybe thousands of footsteps run over it, it was dirty and worn, and looked utterly sad.

He stared at the sticker for it seemed like an eternity. It made him think; Why is there so much violence in the world? People who love eachother, lives destroyed with one little action someone may make? ----Why can't they just leave me alone? I was only created to be someone weapon to kill someone! I was never meant to have any other purpose other then to kill! But I don't want to kill, I want to stop everyone from that madness, it has no logic! I am one pathetic creature, I was a fool for 16 years, I was a fool for too long!! I love my father, I love Maria, I-I-I HATE GERALD!! He ran off and went to the apartment.----

When he arrived, the door was left open about an inch, as if someone left in a hurry, and there was no one there. He went into his room, layed on the bed, and buried his face into a pillow to cry some more. He raised his head and looked at his walls, they were red. ----Red, BLOOD red, blood, the color of...death...I hate him!!!!----

There was a window facing the moon, he stared at it. It was full and hit was blood red, the craters were formed and looked like it was smirking at him. He clenched his shaking fist and shouted at the top of his lungs, echoing through the whole floor the apartment was on, "I HATE YOU, DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!!!!" He punched the window and broke a hole in it, he started to get atracted or sucked onto it like a magnet, the globe of earth on his bureua was sucked to it and broke a hole about 2'6 ft. tall. He flew out of the ARK and reached out his hand to grab the broken glass still attached to window...

Maria was on the same floor as the apartment, she heard Shadow shouted those words, she had a walkie-talkie in her hand and spoke into it, "(she said concerningly) Dad, (she said agatated) Grandfather, Shadow is in the west wing of the 2nd floor, hurry and get here!" Maria dropped the walkie-talkie and ran to the elevator, the doors opened, Gerald and Thomas ran right into her and almost knocked her over.

They ran by the apartment and heard Shadow screaming. They ran inside and went to his room saw him dangled horizontally out the window. There was blood all over his hands, arms, and the window. Shadow was holding on with only one hand and was slipping. Thomas ran to the window and almost fell out himself, he reached for Shadow's bloody hand (the one not holding onto the window), "TAKE MY HAND!!" Shadow reached for his hand but slipped and almost left go of the window. They tried a few more time, but ended unsuccessful. Maria rushed to the window, Thomas shouted, "Maria, NOO!!"


4:40pm, April 7, 19X3

Thomas kneeled down to his wife to see she was not dead, but barely holding on. She said, "T-Tom, tell M-M-Maria that I love--" She was dead.


7:19pm October 22, 19#9

Thomas thought, I will not let them take her too! Maria had a grip on Shadow's hand, but Thomas tried to pull her away, she got caught off balance and she fell halfway out the window. Thomas pulled in Maria but she accidently let go out Shadow's hand. Shadow grabbed onto the window and cut open his hand again.

Gerald pushed his son and granddaughter out of the way, and reached for Shadow's hand. Shadow glared at him and thought, I'd rather die then reach for his filthy hand! Thomas shouted, "Dad, no, you'll get killed!" Gerald shouted back, "Well, if I die, it will not be such as a loss, I've got nothing to lose!!" Gerald's attention went back to Shadow. Shadow's pinky, thumb, and ring finger slipped and he was holding onto the window with his cut, bloody, middle and index finger. Gerald shouted, "Shadow, I'm sorry for what I did!! I was only thinking of myself, I should have thought of everyone else!! Just don't let go!!" Shadow looked into Gerald's dark green eyes and thought, But this is my destiny... Gerald shouted, "NO IT ISN'T!!!" This caught Shadow by surprise, he looked at him and wanted no more then to let go. Gerald shook his head, "Don't you dare let go! REACH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shadow shut his eyes and grabbed Gerald's hand.

The four of them were in the apartment, Shadow's window was covered with a very inlarged picture of Shadow and Maria's first Christmas in front of the Christmas tree. It blocked the window and they were able to live there in peace. After a a few days, they would get the window fixed.

Shadow got stitches in his finger's and palm of his hands, and they were covered in wrap. Gerald was sitting on the couch with his family giving Shadow a hug, "Please, Shadow, will you ever forgive me?" Shadow broke the hug and smiled at Gerald, "I cannot deny what I am."
