Chapter 7: Dream
Shadow woke up and found that he was floating above the sky. He looked up and saw Sonic in gold and John in crystal. He knew what happened. Sonic, John, and Shadow were in super form. A roar came from the front. The shadow figure clawed the three hedgehogs down to the ground. The figure was blurry with metal claws and red eyes. The three hedgehogs returned to normal, lost the seven emeralds, and bleeding and unconscious. Shadow couldn't stay awake and lost consciousness.
The next was he starts to wake up and saw himself all bandaged up. He looked around for the others. Tails was okay but was burned, Knuckles was beaten up, and Sonic and John were in the same condition as Shadow. Two shadows were talking to each other, and one of the shadows left for battle. He couldn't speak or move. The dark figure roared louder and came closer to the apartment. However, a light came in front of it and stops on its track. "Chaos Blade!" The sword was flashing and glowing. With one quick slash, it was into two. Finally, it was dead, but the light faded. He could not see who it is, but the shape was familiar.
Shadow woke up in his bed. He wiped off the sweat from his forehead. He looked around and saw everything normal. He looked up and was surprised. He saw a spirit going through a wall from his room. Was that a ghost, or my imagination? He opened the door and saw the ghost going into Amy's room.
Shadow knocked the door. "Amy? Are you there?" He whispered to not wake anyone up next door. Amy opened the door. "Yawn, what is wrong?"
"Did you see anyone at your room?"
"No. Why?"
"I was following a ghost that led me to you. I was worried that it might scare you."
Amy looked around her room and didn't saw anything in her room. "Well, there is no ghost here."
Shadow was relieved. "Sorry that I disturbed you. Got a little worried."
At his bed, Shadow couldn't sleep. He twists and turned until midnight. "Do you want me to hold you until you sleep?" Shadow looked at the doorway, and Amy was there. "Yeah. I can't sleep." Amy walked toward Shadow and sat on the bed. Shadow rested his head on Amy's neck. She wrapped her arms around Shadow's neck. "Aww…Shoot. That hurts." Shadow stood up and rubbed his back neck.
"Are you okay? Sorry." Shadow looked at Amy and saw her sad.
"Amy, it's okay. It's not your fault. John hit me when I asked him something." Amy was even sadder and let Shadow rested on her lap. She felt sorry for Shadow and think why John hurt Shadow for something he asked. She took his hand on her left hand and rubbed his neck with the right hand. Shadow, I'm sorry. At that moment, her hand glowed dimly on Shadow's neck. No body saw it, even Amy and Shadow. I don't want anything bad happen to you. I want you to stay with me. Shadow started to stop struggling and twisting. Strange, I feel stronger and better.
