I'm just a slave: chapter 5
Shadow's POV
"excuse me, but i'm confused, what do you mean?" I asked confused about his statement. He grinned to me and left. Leaving me alone with my confusion. I wonder what he meant. Was he going to make sure that i would have help? I decided not to think of it anymore and just start on fixing the barn.
I had started on outside walls of the barn and i was buzy on it instensively untill his familiar voice interupted me. "okay i'm back!" Sonic said. I looked at him only to widen my eyes a little bit in surprise. "m-master, what are you wearing? that's not something you're supposed to be wearing! your mother will be furious!" I yelled and approached him. he just grinned, seemingly amused at the fact of how i reacted at his attire. He was wearing an old shirt and overalls that was probably laying around in the attic. "who cares what mom says. i'm here to help you and no one can keep me from doing that." He said and searched for some tools he could use at the moment. "but ma-" I started, but i got cut off once again. "no buts, i'm helping weither you like it or not." He said and took a hammer and some nails. He was to stubborn for words at time.
I resumed my work on the outside of the barn while sonic started on the inside. I had to look through a whole in the wall at times to make sure he was doing it right. If he did it wrong then his mother would scold me big time. I heard him yelp and walked inside the barn and approached him. "what's wrong?" I asked. "it's nothing serious." He said and grinned at my sheepishly. I grabbed his hand and looked at it. It seemed to be a bruise. He must've been very clumsily and must've hit himself on his hand with his hammer. I complained to myself in my mind about how stupid sonic was for hitting himself like that. "you should stop." I said. "no way! i ain't stoppin' for nothin'." He said, making me look at him. Where did the sudden accent come from. "but master-" I started only to be cut off again. "what did i say? no buts! i'm helping you and that's final!" He stubbornly said and grabbed the hammer from the ground and resumed his work. I sighed. This guy was to stubborn for his own good.
I walked back out of the barn and resumed my work aswell. I guess that i did appreciate his help. I don't think that i would be getting it done in just 5 months, but atleast someone cared enough to help and that was all that mattered to me.
Sonic's POV
I enjoyed helping shadow alot. I never did anything like this, so this was new to me. Shadow probably was as experienced as i was, but he was doing a much better job then i did. Or atleast, less poorly. But shadow seemed gratefull that i was helping me. We got some work done in these 2 months. We weren't close to finishing it, but we had done a great deal already. And thankfully, my mom or dad hadn't found out about the fact that i was helping shadow. I was certain that they would punish him severely for manipulating me into helping which. Which wouldn't be true at all.
We were having a break at the moment. It was warm today, so we had been really tired and needed a break. So we took one. Shadow wasn't certain at first, but i convinced him otherwise. I did some finishing touches on a piece of wall i had been working on that i wanted to finish before taking a break. I looked around for shadow, but found him nowhere. I walked deeper into the barn to search for him. It didn't take long for me to find him, though. I smiled upon my discovery.
