OK everyone here is chapter 3
Chapter3
It was
dark like pitch black dark nothing could be seen. Shadow lifted his
hand in front of him face expecting to see nothing, but yet he saw
his gloved hand and him arm." Where am I?" Shadow asked
himself." Hello is anyone out there!?" Shadow cried into
the darkness. Just as he was about to call out again he was
surrounded by a city engulfed by flames." What happened here?"
Shadow walked forward a little bit when the sent of burning wood
passed by on the wind but not just any wood," Cherry blossom
tree wood..." Shadow quickly turned around finding himself
facing Amy's house." Amy are you in there?" Shadow yelled.
Shadow was hoping the silence that followed was a yes.' I have to
find Amy and the others. They should know what happened here.' With
that thought he started down the street. The sound of crackling,
splinting wood and buildings collapsing filled the air. Shadow passed
in front of the park him and Amy passed by earlier.' Hmm maybe some
evidence could be in there.' Shadow walked to the center of the park
where the flames where most intense and all the trees were a flame.
There he was surprised to find Sonic and his friends, including Amy,
in their fighting stances. Then next to Cream, holding on to each
other like they were about to die, was...Maria! He rushed over to
her and kneeled down next to her screaming," MARIA!MARIA!"
Once he leaned forward close enough he put his hand on her shoulder
expecting to feel cloth, but instead felt a rough texture. It felt
like rock. He then realized,' They've been turned to stone! But how?'
As if reading his mind a pair of glowing red eyes appeared behind him
in the fire lit darkness. Feeling a new presence made him turn
around. All he could see were the eyes and nothing else of the beast
he suspected to be the cause of all this.
" You happened
Shadow." said a voice in a deep raspy voice.
Standing up
Shadow replied with a confused voice," What are you talking
about?"
"You Shadow. You created this." The voice
sounded please to see Shadow's confused/shocked expression."
This is what was prophesied by the Ancients. You were prophesied
to do this. To destroy the world is your destiny." The voice
sounded like it wasn't kidding.
Never the less Shadow
responded," I don't believe you! You have to be lying!"
"
Shadow why? Why did you do this?" Shadow quickly turned around
to see it was Amy who was speaking.
" No Amy I..." He
was cut off.
" Shadow we trusted you." Sonic said as
him and all of his friends stood up, as if regarding the fact that
they were stone, and started to walk towards Shadow very slowly.
"
I didn't do this Sonic!" Shadow replied even though he was
wishing that he really did turn Sonic to stone.
" I knew we
should never have trusted him!" Knuckles answered
back.
" Shadow we trusted you and you turned on us."
Tails said.
" How could you do this to us Shadow?"
asked Cream in her quiet voice.
" Cream I wouldn't."
Shadow told her." I swear."
"Shadow..."
"
Huh?" Shadow turned to his right a little." Maria."
Tears began to form tears in his eyes.
"Shadow..." She
said once more as the rest of them joined." Shadow." They
all said.
" No..." said Shadow as he began to cup his
hands over his ears to block out their chants, but it was in vain.
"
Shadow."
" No."
" Shaaadow."
"
NO!!!" Shadow yelled a final time in a desperate attempt to make
them stop. As a tear dropped from his eye a burning tree branch
snapped and stared to fall towards Amy and Maria. " NO!!!"
Shadow cried. He reached out his arms to grab a hold of them and pull
them out of the way of the falling branch. The tear splashed on the
ground. Everything except Shadow, Amy, and Maria disappeared into the
darkness. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. Shadow kept
reaching out to grab to grab Amy and Maria's now extending hands.
They almost grabbed a hold of each other when Amy and Maria fell into
the darkness crying Shadow's name. " Amy!! Maria!!" Shadow
jolted upwards to find himself safe back at Amy's house. He was
covered in sweat. Amy was sitting next to him looking at him with a
conserned look.
" Shadow it's OK it was only a bad dream."
She said sweetly trying comfort. " And a pretty bad one from all
that yelling you were doing."
" Oh you heard that.
Sorry." Shadow said forceing out a small smile. Amy could see
that something was bothering him, but she desided not to ask. "
No problem." She said returning his smile." Oh before I
forget, dinner is ready. Follow me and I will show you to the
kitchen."
To be continued...
