~Chapter 6~
At the Ark, Claire was looking out one of the windows. "The Earth looks so beautiful from up here," Claire thought out loud. "So do you," said a voice. Claire sharply turned around to see who said that, and she saw Shadow. Claire blushed. Shadow then walked over to her. Claire then turned so her back was facing Shadow.
"Claire, I have to tell you something," said Shadow. Claire turned around and faced Shadow. "What is it," she asked. Shadow then walked closer to Claire to the point when he grabbed her and pulled Claire close to him. "What are you..." Before she could even finish what she was saying, Shadow strengthened his hug on Claire and kissed her on the lips.
After Shadow released Claire from his kiss, he said to her, "I have always wanted to tell this to you, Claire... I love you." Claire looked at him wide-eyed. Claire then kissed Shadow and said, "I love you too, Shadow the Hedgehog."
Shadow looked at Claire and said, "I guess I really never showed you around the Ark, have I?" Claire looked at him and said, "No, no you haven't." Shadow held out his hand and said, "Follow me." Claire took his hand and the two then walked off.
Black Doom, on the other hand, was watching the whole scene from afar. "So," he said. "Shadow has fallen in love with Claire. This should be interesting." He then waved his hand and Claire fell to the ground.
Shadow noticed that something was wrong the moment Claire fell to the ground. "Claire," he asked, "Are you OK???" Claire managed to look at Shadow in the eye and said, "S-shadow, y-you have to get away from me." Shadow had a look of confusion on his face. "Why..." Before he could finish, Claire changed to Nightmare right before his eyes.
All of a sudden, Black Doom appeared. "What did you do to Claire," Shadow demanded. Black Doom looked at him and said, "Let's see how you like her now... NIGHTMARE, KILL HIM!!" Obediently, Nightmare lunged at Shadow, but he quickly dodged the attack.
"Claire, its me, Shadow. I know you are in there, please, fight Black Doom's control!" Shadow said as he was fighting Nightmare. "It's no use, Shadow. Once she is Nightmare, she only listens to me," Black Doom said. Then, all of a sudden, Nightmare fell to the ground and she looked at Shadow. He looked at her eyes, for they now changed from Nightmare's eye-color of red to Claire's eye-color of green.
"S-shadow," said Nightmare. "P-please, h-help m-me."
At that instant, Nightmare changed back to Claire and passed out.
