"SONIC? ...NO! WAIT DON'T DO THIS! NO!"

He could hear the sharp screams of the other run through his head, causing his ears to pin back. He was now over powered by his own adrenaline. Everything went blank; and with one raise of his hand it was all over. There was no going back.

Snapping out of trance Sonic peered down at the lifeless body. Wondering if he had actually caused this or imagined the whole thing. He couldn't even remember striking the body but the weapon beside him confirmed it all "What have I done..."

He sat there for what seemed like hours before he had his final thought... 'Run'.

Sonic was kicking and screaming in his sleep, so much so that he fell of the couch and in a sudden of shock Sonic shot up, feeling the whole room spin as he did. Rubbing the back of his head Sonic desperately scanned the room hoping that Shadow hadn't seen him, this day had been embarrassing enough as it was. Why were these images still haunting him? And even more how had he managed to fall asleep?
Sonic shook his head to dismiss the thoughts that were once again flowing through his mind, feeling that the overload of pressure would finally make him crack. Sonic lazily arose from the couch searching for a clock to see how long he'd actually been out. To his surprise it was longer than he thought, but where was Shadow...?

'He should be back by now...What if he's been caught... and they've pinned the murder on him!' No Sonic knew Shadow and if anything he doubted that he'd been caught or even seen but still the question ran panic through his system. Maybe he should go looking for him, after all he'd calmed down and could now, more or less, think straight.

"What are you doing faker?" Sonic span around and searched for the source, almost yelping due to the sudden impact of going straight into the door.

"Shadow?"

"Yes it's me faker..." He couldn't help but smirk at the sight of Sonic.

"Why'd you do that!" Sonic couldn't help but snapped and the black hedgehog, rubbing his head from the sudden impact if wood. He got even more annoyed however when Shadow's smirk reappeared on his face.

"Pathetic" Shadow murmured to himself, but he was still heard.

"How am I?" Sonic was now getting more flustered than before, he had to calm down, desperately, the same feeling he'd gotten over that boy was now retuning into his mind. NO! How could he think like that... about Shadow anyway? What was wrong with him? Even if he did attack Shadow he would probably lose due to the state he was in; and after all he was suppose to be grateful, Shadow had just helped him in the biggest way possible... or so he hoped.

Shadow shot round at the sudden tone of Sonic's voice that had harshly caught his ears. "Now that's not the way to talk to someone who's just sorted your life out, is it..." He had to admit he was enjoying the fact that HE was annoying Sonic for a change and not the other way round. Feeling quite powerful in his situation he stepped closer to his blue rival and raised a brow, hoping to get a bigger reaction.

"You're enjoying this aren't you..." Sonic gritted his teeth, desperate to gain control of his mind so that he would lounge into attack. Shadow smirked at the amount of frustration he was causing him.

"This isn't funny Shadow!" taking in sharp breaths Sonic thought over his next move more carefully, not wanting to become on the wrong side of Shadow, "I've killed someone!"

"So we've established..."

"You don't get it do you! This isn't me!" Sonic leaned against the wall desperate to not fall to the ground, after all that would be a show of weakness.

"..." Shadow figured it was probably best for him to stay quiet for a while, seeing that he'd probably gone too far this time.

"I... I don't know what's happening to me"

"It's just shock it'll go... Give it a few days" a smirk once again found its way across the hedgehog's mouth.

"No, that's not it... I... I think I enjoyed doing it" What was he doing? Did he want Shadow to call the insane asylum! Shadow's eye twitched, not quite getting at what Sonic was leading up to, if he enjoyed it then why was he in such a state...?

"When you left, I felt so empty, as if I needed the rush of all this to come back..." Great now Morbis' Hero the one people looked up to was now a murderer, who enjoyed conflicting pain on others; Shadow mentally hit himself across the face, how hadn't he seen this coming...?

"Truth be told, Shadow I think I'd be able to do this again..." Sonic's ears pinned to his head. Was he really saying all this? Once again the words were pouring from his mouth without him realising.

"Yeah I –"

"I can't explain why..." Shadow was caught off short when Sonic began to let the words flow from his mind again, he no longer cared how it sounded, he just wanted someone to listen, and whether Shadow was or not it was still providing some relief. "I fear that me and you are more alike than we think"

"I think you need some rest..." Shadow trailed off, he had no idea what to say and knowing that Sonic would probably stay at his didn't bother him too much, anyway Shadow was certain that Rouge wouldn't be back for a few days and he'd rather but up with his annoying blue rival than to wake up early because Sonic had created a massacre on the streets.

"What...?" Sonic still didn't understand why Shadow was still so cool about this.

"You can stay here, if you must" Shadow turned from Sonic and headed from his room "We'll talk tomorrow".

Blegh, tried so hard to keep them in character but I think I'm straying a little, anyhow let me know if its that bad.
