Chapter Four: So Close to Death
((I'm so sorry I was suppose to talk about Shadows past so hear it comes. Thanks for reading this far ))Shadow felt really cold. He was drifting deeper into the darkness. He opened his eyes weakly. 'What's going on,' he thought. "Your dying," a voice said calmly. He's eye weakened. "Dying… what happen? Where's Dream," he asked weakly. "Both you and Dream were both shocked by the high amount of electricity. You may have escaped the rest of the attack but you both lost to much blood, especially Dream," the voice explained. Shadow closed his eyes. Tears were forming from his eyes. "You may still be able to wake up," the voice said. Shadow opened his eyes. "Ya but… Dream," he said as the tears dripped into the air. "It is her decision to live. Just as it is yours," the voice said softly. Shadow had to think. "I well now show you your past. When its over I'll need your decision," the voice said as a sudden light started to shine. Shadow opened his eyes. The person who he talking was his…
"Mom," he said surprised. "Yes it was me," she said smiling. "I going to show you your life," she said holding up her hand. Shadow looked around and realized that they were in a hospital. He then saw his family around a bed. There he was crying in his mom's arms. He had the sign of the Thunder wolf on his forehead. He smiled. The scene then changed into when he first meet Dream. Shadow eyes widened. Dream was getting bullied again. No one would ever help her. He was new at the school but he hated how they took her lunch and stuff. "Hey guys leave her alone" little shadow said running up to them.((this is now mini Shadow and Dream talking)) The older boys turned around. "You're the new boy," the first boy said. "This is going to be fun, Tom" said the seconded guy, his name was Chris. The then threw Shadow into the wall. He fell to the floor. "Ha he doesn't even has elements. Why did your parents sent you here for. Or was it because you couldn't make any friends," Tom said punching Shadow. Shadow now had a bleeding lip. "Well he won't make any friends here either," said Chris about to punch shadow until Dream ran into the way, making Chris punch her right in the lip. She fell to the ground. "What the…," Chris said as blood drip from his hand. Dream stood up. "Shut Up! You dummy head," she said boldly.(( dummy that's so cute)) The other kids were watching from behind the trees. Dream had never stood for herself before. "He I'll ready has a friend and that's me! Got it," she shouted at them. Shadow smiled and got up as well. "Ya she's my friend and we aren't scared of you," said Shadow the sign of the thunder wolf appearing on his forehead. "Oh ya then you'll pay," said Tom about to punch Dream until Shadow picked her up ((Bride style)) and moved out of the way. Dream blushed. He dropped safely on the ground. "Thank you," said Dream her forehead glowing with her sign. "No problem, besides you stood up for me," he pointed out. They both held each others hand. Chris eyes widened with fear. "Hey Tom. Those kids they have the symbol of the Thunder wolf and the Water Goddess," he said his voice with fear. "Ya right that's impossible no one but the great clan of elements had those symbols and that was 5 years ago," Tom said getting up.((That means both Dream and Shadow are reincarnations of two of the people in the element clan))
"Lets do our strongest attack." said Tom. All the kids gasped. "Fine," said Chris smiling. "No one has survived it so how are two little 5 year olds going to do," said Tom gathering his energy. Dream tightened her grip around Shadows hand. He did as well. " Fire, Ground Blast," they shouted sending the blast towards the five year olds. "What's going on," said Michelle running to the fight, Nick and Alexandra close behind her. A little girl came up to her. "Tom and Chris were picking on Dream again and the new boy Shadow stepped in and now there going to be hit by Tom and Chris's most powerful attack. "What!" the there 7 year olds said. They looked at the scene as Dream and Shadow were standing there as the blast was sent. " Shadow! Dream!" all three of them shouted. There was a huge explosion. "No…..," whispered Alexandra with tears in her eyes. There was then a little glow shinning. Everyone concentrated on it. There was Shadow and Dream still standing there but two necklaces glowing. ((obviously the crystals)). When the dust cleared everyone gasped. Two spirits were floating behind them one was a yellow wolf and the other a kitten with twin tails. "Oh man they are from the element clan," Tom and Chris said passing out on the spot. Dream and Shadow looked confused. The spirits then returned to the crystals leaving only to animals on the floor .One was a wolf the other was a kitten. They looked exactly like the spirits. "Kitty," said Dream as the mini kitten with two tails jumped into her hands. Shadow was petting the wolf.
"Dream!" said Michelle and Alexandra hugging her. "Shadow" said Nick hugging him. They were kinda confused but didn't really care. When the were in the nurses room they introduced themselves. Dream smiled and kissed Shadow on the cheek and said "Thank you very much Shadow for protecting me." He blushed. They both laughed together as there pets slept in there arms.((okay its over))
Shadow smiled at that memory. He'd had never forgotten it. Another image appeared. He frowned as he remembered it clearly. The night when Amy his cute sister died. Eric the oldest brother had killed her right in front of his eyes. Just because she tried to protect him.((okay I'm not going into details)) Tears started to form in his eyes. Soon the scene was over and his mother appeared. "Shadow what is your decision," she said calmly. "I…..I must not die…," he said as the tears floated in the air. "I must find Eric and let him feel the pain that Amy felt," Shadow said boldly. "How about Dream" she asked curious. Shadow smiled. "I know Dream pretty well. She would also want to help me find him. We made a promise," said Shadow smiling. "Okay then your decision is finally," she said smiling. "I love you Shadow. Good Luck," she said disappearing.
Shadow then felt a sudden shock of pain. His whole body ached. He tried to move but failed. He then heard shouts. Someone was calling him. "Shadow! C'mon Shadow don't die on me," Peter screamed as he tried to wake shadow up. "I know your stronger then that," he said as tears rolled down his cheek. Peter and Gerard had recovered from the blast and went on a search to find Shadow and Dream until they saw blood around the area, and realized it was both Dream and Shadow. They were to late. Both of them had lost to much blood and there bodies were extremely cold.
Gerard was in the corner think that it was no use in trying to wake them up when they both stopped breathing. It was his fault. Shadow suddenly felt a lack of air and started to cough. Peter's eyes widened. "Shadow are you okay!" shouted Peter as tears rolled down his cheek. Shadow was finally able to breath. He opened his eyes weakly. His vision was really blurry. He focused a bit more and saw Peter looking at him. "Peter… what are you doing…," he asked a bit confused. "Your alive you idiot," said Peter. Shadow remembered what had happened. He then tried to get up. "Shadow don't. Your body's lost to much blood," said Peter. "I ….don't care…," he said crawling over to Dream.
Peter grinned. Gerard looked at him. Shadow looked at Dream pale skin. They had both transformed back to normally. He touched her face. She was cold. Tears streamed down his cheek some falling on Dreams face. "Dream I'm sorry…," he whispered as more tears ran down his cheeks. "Please wake up…" he whispered as he tried to control his tears. "Stop trying," said Gerard softly. "She's gone. She stopped breathing so…" he said cold but getting interrupted by Shadow. "Shut Up," he shouted. Both Peter and Gerard had shocked looks on there faces. Shadow had never looked and sounded so anger in his life. " We promised each other. That we'd find who killed Amy. Who killed every single person in our family that was killed by that person… we promised….," he said his tears started turn into little electric balls which faded into light. "She never cared about herself. Never! She'd always think of others. All the time……she was the only person I had left. How would always agree with anything we said…," Shadow said Staring at his true love.
((Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!)) "He's right. She always listened to are fights. She would always calm us down. She was always there for us. Including you Gerard," shouted Peter as tears ran down his cheeks. ((Even thought Peter's in his bad sad he can't help but cry)) "I know…" said Gerard as he hid his face. Tears fell from his eyes. "I'm… I'm sorry. I'm really sorry," he said as he rubbed the tears from his eyes. Dream felt something heavy on her. She opened her eyes weakly. Shadow was closing his eyes as more tears came to his eyes and dripped on Dreams face not realizing she was awake.
"…S-Shadow..," she whispered weakly. Shadow opened his eyes. Peter crawled looked at Dream . "Dream…," said Shadow as more tears fell. "Shadow your kinda heavy…," she whispered. Shadow's eyes widened and he hugged Dream tightly.
"Shadow that hurts….," whispered Dream trying to focus. he looked at her. " I'm sorry," he said letting her go. "Peter then hugged her but not so tight. "Um… why is everyone crying," she asked rubbing her eyes trying to see properly. "Well explain later but first," said Peter taking out a case. Hw opened it. There was some glasses in it. He handed them over to Dream. "Michelle made them for you when you were small. She told me I should carry them for you just in case you used to much energy so…" said Peter smiling. Dream gladly excepted them and putted it on. Shadow blushed. They made her look cuter. She then yawned.
Peter laughed. "You two should rest," he said standing up. "Me and Gerard will try to contact Mr.Godinera," explained Peter dragging Gerard with him back into the water. Shadow looked at Dream. "why did you come back?" he asked with wonder. She smiled. "I would never leave you guys by yourself. You'd fight all the time. Besides…," she said kissing his cold lips. He closed his eyes and kissed her back. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She broke the kiss and looked at his yellow, watery eyes. "I made a promise that I have to keep," she said smiling. He smiled and they both kissed again. They cuddled up together trying to get some warmth.((They were dead for a while)). They soon fell asleep dreaming of what would happen next on there adventure
