YAY FINALLY AN UPDATE
He didn't do anything I promise stop it," Chris defended his friend as he tried to stand up on unsteady legs.
This immediately stopped Shadow from destroying the blue hedgehog then and there but didn't stop him from looking at the boy with pure loathing for the moment.
"What are these 'panic attacks' you're talking about," Amy asked changing the subject as supported Chris till he was finally steady enough to do it himself.
"Basically it means that sometimes I get scared or paranoid about something and it kinda takes over my body. So my heart starts racing and my brain goes so blank that I forget to breathe," he explained and then sighed," it is not a fun experience and its more embarrassing then anything else."
Sonic just looked on in shock as he picked up his son; the guilt of causing his young friend to go into one of these attacks.
'How did I not know about this, he never told me he suffered from something like this geez it must be genetic to be tight lipped in this family' he thought.
The now human Chris noticed that Sonic was glaring at him but at the same time the blue hedgehog looked out of it so he wasn't sure what to make of it and shrugged it off. After finally convincing everyone that he wasn't going to collapse again he went over to his Shadow when he saw him walking off.
"Dad, I need to ask you about something; it kinda has something to do with what I saw in the jewel," he said timidly knowing this was a subject the black hedgehog was trying to avoid for quite some time.
With a nod Shadow led him into the forest and the deeper they went the more the boy started to feel uneasy about this.
"Why are we all they way out here?"
"I just want to make sure that we have privacy all around?"
"No offense dad but I'm pretty sure you couldn't here Amy scream back at the house from here."
This actually seemed to actually get a chuckle out of Shadow, which eased the tension in the atmosphere.
"I know were not far boy there's a clearing up ahead it'll be quite enough there to talk," he finally explained and the rest of the trip remained silent until they finally reached the opening. The trees were so tall they actually provided cover from the sky and anything could be seen or heard coming towards them from miles away.
"Alright start talking boy what happened in there and what the hell does it have to do with us?" Shadow asked almost demanding.
"Well from what she told me I got that we were created to be guardians there was one before us named Chaos. Something happened when you were made originally and somehow you developed a mind of your own to decide what was right and wrong so nobody could control you and I guess passed it down the line. Of course being half human probably doesn't hurt," the kid explained as he watched his father's reaction and added," the downside is that humans can be manipulated.
"But I guess I didn't have to explain the part about being part of the jewel," Chris added making Shadow slightly cringe.
The black hedgehog was suddenly finding rather hard to look at his son in the eye at the moment. What could he tell him; he'd kept something from him and now he had to admit it.
"So your telling me it had nothing to do with the jewels," he said trying to change the subject.
"Technically yes just in the way we thought we're more like their guardians then their human forms. We can control them to destroy or defend whatever we see fit," Chris said.
"But that's all I know what do you know?" the boy asked suddenly surprising his father once again.
'Why must he think I have all the answers he knows more about what's going on right now then I do' the older hedgehog thought grimly looking at his son annoyed.
"All I know is that I wasn't born like u were…you know from a mother and father; the jewels created me and when the god doctor found out I became his favorite experiment," Shadow explained.
"Maria and tat quack were the closest thing to family I had; the only good thing tat old man did for me was allow her to be my companion and…"
"And what?" the boy asked truly curious about his father's past.
"Never mind. C'mon were going back to tell that moron Sonic what we know now" Shadow leading his son back through the maze of forest to their friends.
Meanwhile…
"So manipulation is they key with you boy, well if there was one thing I did right it was manipulating," a voice said laughing evilly as it formed a dark plan it its mind.
sry for the shortness but you learn lots
