My Immortal
Chapter 5, The Spirits and A Place to Stay
(Roxanne's POV)
2:01pm, Febuary 5.
Heheheheh.... Shadow must have the worst hangover of his life! Its always worst the first time! At least I was smart and took one of those pills thats make you not have a hang over, I forget what they are called (A/N: THey are real!!). So I have a little eensy-weensy-beensy-sheensy headache. I woke up an hour or two ago, but I stayed upstairs.
My stomache began to talk to me, so I decided to go and get something to eat. I put my had on the railing and as I reached the bottem, I twirled around to make my way to the kitchen, when I heard someone banging on the door. I went to the door and looked in the peep-hole and it showed a distorted looking Shadow. Why do peep-holes do that? Shadow continued to bang on the door. I went into the living room, opened the window and Shadow looked over. He looked pretty pissed, "Open the door!" I said, "Not by the hair on my chiny-chin-chin!" I opened the screen part of the window and gave him the middle finger, and he jumped through the window knocking both us on the floor. Well, that was unexpected.
He was in the house and dusted himself off, I exteneded my hand, for him to help me u but he crossed his arms and stuck his tongue out and me. I stood up and straightened my PJ's; the bottems were navy blue and baby blue and were plaid. My top was the t-shirt I wore yesterday, a black shirt that said CRUSH 40 in bold white letters with a red, black, and white racecar on it. was wearing two different socks, they were knee socks, one was striped black a white, the other was black and purple. I love my style!
I pushed my way through Shadow and made my way to the kitchen, Joy was already in there. Shadow followed me, grumbling into the kitchen. Joy was on the phone and said into it, "..yeah, he did--I wait, can I call you back? Good." She hung it up, as soon as she saw Shadow she reconized him, "You must be Shadow, I heard all about you, especially with trying to take over the world. But I believe everyone deserves a second chance... So thats why I married that monster of father after his wife died.." She seemed to space out. I knew she regretted marrying him so I should change the subject, "Hey, whats for lunch?" She went back to normal, "I thought maybe we could go out for lunch!" We both turned to Shadow, I said, "Shad, were would you want to eat?" Shadow said, "Uhhhhhhh.... The Burger Shop?" I think that was the only place he knew of, suddenly I had an idea, "I know just the place!"
2:26pm, Febuary 5.
We were in Joy's silver PT Cruiser on our way to my fav resturant. I was wearing my ne of my blink 182 shirts with a pair of jeans with two gashes purposely put in them and held together by safety pins. I has a matching pair of rainbow socks on, my hair up in a pony tail, and I was wearing two different converse shoes, one was a ligh blue and the other was pink. Joy was driving, obviously, and me and Shadow were in the back seat thumb wrestling. I beat him everytime! Heeheehee... I think Shadow'll like the place, he better, or I'll-- "Are we almost there?" Shadow said, making me lose my concentration, and he finally beat me at the thumb wars. He said very cheesily, as he smirked, "I am the ulimate lifeform!" I rolled my eyes, (sigh) Okay, here we go... Sore winner, now, are we?" "You just can't take the fact that you lost!" "(sarcastically) Omigawd, 1 out of 10 times you won, DEAR GASP! I'm losing!! (Change of subject) We got 5 more minutes. STARING CONTEST!!" At least this was something he knew how to play. He stared and stared and stared, his gaze was almost over-powering. But I knew what I was doing.
2:31pm, Feb. 5
Joy stopped the car in the parkinglot, "Ok, we're here, out of the car!" Shadow said, "We can't." Joy said, "Oh? And why not? I said, "Staring contest."She tugged on the safety pin that was in the top of my ear, I looked over at her, "HEY!!!" She said smartly, "Shadow won." I looked over to him, he was smirking and started to tug on my safety pin, then, I punched his arm. I got out of the car grumbling, he got out of the car, holding his arm, and laughing. I saw Shadow looked up at the sign that said the name of the resturant, (A/N: Did you noticed Shadow laughed? Did you notice she had a safety pin in her ear, did you notice she had two different shoes on, did you remember she has her lip pierced, the first Sonic character with a piercing? Did you notice I stalling so you won't know where they went?) the Rain Forest Cafe'.
We entered the resturant and we went to the person who seats us and they lead up to a table that had a robot, but realistic looking elephant right above us, and if you looked to your left you see a temply looking thing with a robot cheetah on it. Shadow looked around, as if he was scared out of his wits. He was battling to look at the elephant or the cheetah. He finally stared at the elephant, he whispered to me, "I think its going to charge at any second!" I smacked Shadow upside the head, but hurt myself a lil on his quils, "What, did the Professor stupify you?! Its a robot, they are all robots!" Shadow jumped up on the table and was ready to attack them, I now remember all the robots he destroyed a few monthes ago, that I saw on the news. I pulled him down before anyone could see. I said, "You retard! They are good robots, they can't do nuttin' to ya!" I smacked him again. He said, "Ya know, I would greatly appreciate not getting hit again." I said, "I bet you would--" "Hello, my name is Chuck, here are your menus, and what would you like to drink?"
The waiter came, good thing he did, or me and Shadow would've took this outside.Joy said, "I would like a Diet Coke." I said, "Any orange soda you have." The waiter looked at Shadow and gasped and dropped his notepad. As the waiter went to pick it up, I put Shadow in a headlock, he said, "Wha--" "(whipser) Play along." I said to the waiter, "Don't worry, he would do nuttin' to no one, he always listens to me, and if he causes trouble, (I glared at him with my teeth lenced) which he won't, I have a injection that puts him right to sleep!" The waiter, a little shaken, nods, and says, "What would you want, (ahem) sir?" Shadow said, "Umm, water..?" It was more of a question then a statement. The waiter nodded nervously, "Ok, I'll be back with the drinks." He goes away. I let Shadow, I sighed, "Shad, your gunna really have to watch what you do in here."
2:59pm, Feb. 5
The food came a little later, and Joy got, I think, a caesar salad, I got a 'Jungle Pizza'; all it really is is a thin personal pizza with tomatoe chunks in it. Joy wanted to treat Shadow with the best the resturant had to offer, he got some kind of steak, yuck... I sat there grumbling, picking the tomatoes off my pizza, "I said 'no tomatoes, (grumbles) lets see him get a tip form me.. (grumbles)..." Shadow was eating the steak very slowly and I asked, "Hey Shad, whats up?" He looked up and said, "I'll think of some way to pay you back for this meal.." Joy shook her head and laughed, "No, no, don't worry about it, I love treating people to meals!" Shadow smiled but didn't even eat 1/4 of his steak, I said, "Then why are you still eatting that slowly?" He said, "I'm gonna save this, and bring it with me and when I leave, I will have something to eat." Joy rested her elbows on the table and put cupped her face in her hands, "Thats what I wanted to talk to you about." Shadow and I looked up at her, I was as confused as Shadow. Joy asked, "Do you have anywhere to live?" Shadow shook his head, I gave Joy a confused look, what was she going to do? Now that I think about it, it was pretty obvious. She finished, "My husband comes back home in a little more then a month, so would you like to stay with us, just until you get back on your feet?" Shadow jumped off his chair, and ran over, and gave her a hug. I said aloud, "I guess thats a yes!"
8:44pm, Feb. 5
We decided to stay downtown and go to places like museums, the mall, my favorite place to shop; Hot Topic. I spent, like, $100.00 of stuff there today. Shadow like the place too! Maybe I can turn him Punk or goth, heheheheh.. Joy bought him about $50.00 worth of stuff. He even bought clothes, they had a human section of the store and a furry section. Joy bought me a pair of UFOs that had a green skull on the side This makes me one happy person! Joy sure loves to give!
Now that I think about it, I only really knew Shadow for a day, and he is going to live with us! Thats cool though, they say you can't have a new best friend in day, but he is my best friend.
11:24pm, Feb. 5
We all finally ended are day and went in the car, with bags of crap we bought in the trunk. Shadow doesn't even take up one seat, so I cruled up and laid down and fell asleep. Shadow fell asleep too, he leaned his head on my head. I dreamt I was on an adventure with Shadow and his friends.
1:41am, Feb. 6
I woke up in my bed, and Shadow was on the cot in front of my bed. I almost forgot he was living with us untill that demon came home. Hey, speaking of demons, I need to meditate, and my soul go to the place were the dead live in limbo.
I had two end tables on the sides of my bed, and a white blocky candle on each, I picked up the match box which was on the left end table, lit up the candles and only two light were lit in pure darkness. I sat indian style on the bed and closed my eyes. For 10 minutes, I sat there, without moving. Suddenly, my body became limp and fell on the bed with a loud, THUMP. I was scared it would wake Shadow, but to no avail. My spirit was out of my body. My body was just a mere shell of what once was. I was flying through a long, wide tunnel and the only light source was a tiny light at the end of it. When flying through the tunnel, I could hear a heart beating, voices of the dead, static, screams, a piano, anything tha would challenge the soul's sanity. Of course, I passed the test. I finally reached it after 30 minutes of flying. I saw a bright blinding light, then it dimed to reveal my room, I saw a silhouette of my soulless, limp body and I smiled. I was free.
I flew through the ceiling a flew off through the night. I was flying all over the city, in the darkness of night, the city is beautiful. I saw other spirits flying around the city, high and low, apparently, people shared my beliefs.
5:24am, Feb. 6
I flew all across the state and I decided to head for home. When I got back there, I saw my bedroom light was on. I flew in and I saw Shadow shaking me, trying to get me awake. It was very humorous, but the thin that made me stop 'laughing' was Shadow was crying. He had his hands on my shoulders and he was violently shaking me, "Rock, please wake up! Don't die! Don't be like Maria! Can you even hear me!?" He stopped shaking me and my head fell limply to the left. He got back on the floor, giving up, rocking back and forth, "No, no, she isn't dead, not my friend, every friend I have dies, why, WHY?!" God, good thing Joy's a heavy sleeper. I felt very bad and entered back into my body. I slowly sat up, feeling very tired, doing that takes alot of energy out of you. I yawned and Shadow looked up at me, in the blink of an eye, Shadow was hugging me, "Don't ever do that again! Please, don't ever do that!!" No one, I repeat, no one knows that I make my soul leave my body, not even my best friends, and I'm sure as hell I can't ever tell him. I acted surprised and lied, "What? Oh, I was very tired today, and I'm already a heavy sleeper, sorry if I scared you. Shadow was crying tears of joy and I smiled.
I said, "Later, I'm going to hang wit ROuge, you wanna come along?" He said, "okay." Seeing as we couldn't go back to sleep, I turned on my PS2 and played Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Shadow watched.
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT DO WHAT ROCK DID!!! IF YOU DO THAT, YOU OPEN YOURSELF UP TO POSSESION AND THE WOULD NOT BE GOOD!! DID YOU EVER SEE THE EXORSIST??!!
Well, this took a couple days to write. Please review, I am very doubtful of my work...
