Chapter Three

Nightmares Do Come True

Sonic sat on the bike in long thought as he listened to his Ipod. He was muttering the lyrics to the song and tapped his foot along with it. "I wont go home without you..." he sang. He looked at the bank in wonder. It had to have been 10 minutes since Shadow went in there. He began to get worried. He knew Shadow had a short temper, and it was very easy for him to get thrown out of anywhere. Sonic just hoped his love wasn't in any sort of danger.

...

Shadow was on the ground along with all the other people in the bank. Two thugs decided to get some free cash that day. Shadow looked around and saw a little girl doing the same. They locked eyes and stared at eachother. It reminded him so much of his little sister, Kat. He nodded to her.

He began to think of a plan as fast as he could. When the guys looked away, Shadow made his way to a corner. He stood and hid behind the wall. He got out his gun from his leather jacket. He suddenly heard one of the robbers talk.

"Hey!" one called "Wheres the black guy!"

"Don't be so raciest." Shadow said as he pointed the gun at the guy.

...

Sonic was shocked when he heard the roar of a gun fire. Sonic ran up the steps and bust through the door. "Shadow!" he called. Suddenly, he came face-to-face with a gun. Sonic backed away, and put up his hands in surrender.

Sonic looked around and saw a guy a behind the man who had the gun pointed to him. He looked around more, and saw something that terrified him. He literally wanted to puke. He wanted to cry. He wanted to run and hold him. Shadow was laying on the ground, blood pooling around him.

Shadow was still breathing, but barely. He lifted his head and looked at Sonic with desperate eyes. He kept glancing at the little girl, who had tears in her blue eyes. Sonic knew what Shadow meant by that look. He looked at the robbers with teared up eyes. He grabbed the armed mans wrist and twisted it. He heard a snap, and thats when he knew he broke the guy's wrist. Sonic jumped and landed on the other guy. He began to punch him continuously in the face and chest. He was then attacked from behind and thrown back. Sonic shook off the pain and looked up too see the two scramble too their feet. Sonic then took his chance to try and get the other people out safe.

He told them to leave and they ran for the door. Some got wedged, but most got out. By now, the police finally came and bust through the door. While they took the thugs away, Sonic ran to Shadow. He held him and began to cry. He now didn't want to, but he couldn't help it. Shadow looked at him in confusion.

...

Shadow didn't understand. Why was Sonic crying? Why was he in pain? He felt something warm and and somewhat sticky on his hand. He lifted it, and saw his hand covered in dripping red blood. He looked down, and saw a hole in his chest. Thats when he knew. He didn't have long.

Shadow looked back up at Sonic and touched his lover's cheek. Sonic looked into Shadow eyes and just cried more. Shadow couldn't stand it. He stroked Sonic's cheek more.

"Sh," Shadow hushed "P-please...don't c-cry.." he coughed, and blood spurted out of his mouth. Shadow saw Sonic wince and look at it in horror. Shadow felt himself becoming tired. He suddenly felt like everything in his body was shutting down. He didn't want to die, but he guessed he had no choice. 'hehe...so this is what Sonic felt like when I was hold him...it feels so weird. I feel so calm. At so much peace. I don't get it. Maybe its apart of death...' he thought. He suddenly let his eyelids go down and only go half-way up.

"Sonic," he said in a raspy, and tired voice "I don't have alot of time..."

Sonic couldn't stand hearing that. "No! You're going to be fine. You'll see...um..the ambulance will get here and take care of you. You are going to make it!" Shadow knew that was a lie. He touched Sonic's cheek tenderly and smile.

"Sonic...thi-ink of..*cough, cough* the l-logic..." Shadow struggled, " the hospital is awhile, e-even in this *cough* city. It will probably take fif-teen minutes...I on-ly have almost five..." he felt more tired.

"No!" he cried, "don't you dare think like that! You're going to be fixed up and taken care of. Then we will go back to our lives and live together forever!" Sonic was now sobbing. He clutched Shadow, refusing to let go.

Still stroking his cheek, Shadow began to speak his last words to his lover. "Sonic, I w-want yo-you too reme-mber me...No matter wh-what...*cough, cough* Re-member what you told me? Yo-you won't be a-alone...ever..remember those w-words, Sonic. Do no-t *cough* forget..promise me.." he begged. Sonic, beginning to give in to Shadow's death, nodded. Shadow now knew he only had seconds. He felt himself go numb, and began to drop his head and close his eyes. "I..I love...you...Sonic...the..hedge-...hog..."

...

Sonic felt Shadow go limp in his arms. When Shadow's hand slipped from Sonic's cheek, he knew. Shadow the Hedgehog, his lover, his companion, his best friend, was dead. Sonic cried harshly on his dead lover, for his heart died with him...

So what did you think of that?

Was it good or bad?

Plz tell me!
