I woke up later that night in a guest bed, and in the bed across from mine was Shadow, still out cold. They really liked me. I got up and, even though chances are I could have died, I sat on the bed where Shadow was knocked out cold. I began lightly scratching his ears. Shadow began to murr and move around. "M- Maria…" He mumbled in his sleep. Who was Maria? Well, whoever she was, Shadow must've thought that I was her. I got up and began heading for the door, but I froze entirely when I heard Shadow sit up. "Maria? Where… huh?" Shadow said, and looked at me. For a split second, I saw a look of pure bliss. That bliss quickly turned to rage. Shadow ran at me, and knocked me to the floor. "Fine then. You want to play that game, do you?" Shadow said, and stood up. Then he kicked me really hard in the crotch. After I let out a quiet high pitched squeal, Shadow opened to door to leave the room. "Jerk." Shadow said before walking out of the room. I got up, which was hard enough, then walked to "my" bed. I needed more sleep.
