Helen hummed softly to herself as she wheeled down the sidewalk in her wheelchair. Sable, or Shadow's spirit, was dozing off in her arms. He was purring slightly and yawned all the sudden, leaning against her one arm.
Helen giggled softly as she took a left and up to the front door of her house. Sable immodestly sat upright, climbing to his feet until he sat on the handles just above Helens head. She giggled and opened the door rolling inside.
Helens mother and father were gone at work, but she still had plenty of time to show Sable the house.
"This is the kitchen, this is the bathroom….this is the living room…." She continued on, pointing to all of the rooms, Sable simply blinked, not showing any emotion.
"This is my room; you'll be sleeping here also." Helen opened her white door and wheeled inside, Sable's eyes widened as he looked.
The walls were a light grey; the bed was a light blue as were some of the things around the room. More noticeably was the little plant growing in the windowsill.
A little sprout was growing out of a small blue pot. The dirt was a muddy brown but the green leaf still held strong.
"This is going to grow into a great big tree one day." A girl similar to Helen smiled, dripping a little water on the plant.
"How does a tree grow out of something like this, Maria?" Sable heard himself ask; this 'Maria' giggled and lightly set the plant on a shelf.
"With lots of care and love. If you watch it and take care of it, it will grow bigger and stronger, like all things in life."
Sable never let his eyes leave the plant….
Sable stared at the little plant; Helen blinked and followed his gaze.
"Like it? It's growing faster now, soon it'll flower." She smiled and Sable looked away silently. He flapped his miny wings and turned, clumsily flying and landing on the bed. He didn't know how he learned to fly, it just…..well it was like it was imprinted in his brain.
Helen smiled and wheeled over, stroking his head carefully.
"You don't talk much do you?" She mused, ignoring the glare she received.
"I speak when I need to." Sable shot back, not expecting Helen to laugh.
"I like you Sable. You can sleep on the bed or I can make you another…" Helen trailed off as Sable curled himself up and firmly closed his eyes, the emotion sphere on his head resting on the tip of his sky blue skull.
"Night Sable." Helen Whispered, smiling and leaving to get ready for bed.

Sable flashed his eyes open, eyes scanning the unfamiliar grounds and the strange blue skin he was lay- oh. Memories of last night flashed through his brain as he stood up, without fear he jumped down, landing stiffly on his feet. Sable started silently walking through the waking home, preferring the ground to the air any day.
Finally he stumbled into the kitchen where a taller woman was flipping some sort of strange golden food. Sable just blinked from his spot on the floor, finally Helen noticed him from her spot on the couch where she was watching the news.
"Sable! About time you got up sleepy head!" She teased, Sable blinked, confused on her words.
"We're having breakfast, Dad just left, can I get you anything?" Helen asked, grabbing one of the flat gold disks to eat. Sable slowly approached the table, Helen giving him a lift up to the top. He eyed the food warily before crossing his arms and turning his back, a sign of mistrust.
Helen giggled again before grabbing a smaller food, something like a teardrop shape and a stem on the very top.
"This is a pear, Cream told me that Chao like a lot of fruit." She explained, letting Sable take it carefully before taking a little munch out of it. Helen smiled in satisfaction thus confusing Sable even more. How did she?
"Your emotion thing." She explained, reading his confused expression, he quickly looked up and scowled at the exclamation mark just above his head.
"Oh lighten up, here, I'll show you something really cool today." Helen smiled before reaching out and letting Sable slowly climb onto her lap.
After saying goodbye to her mom, Helen started down a little paved path; Sable looked around once again, taking in the views and sights.
"This is the park, but the really cool thing is just down here." Helen giggled before swerving down and onto the grass, making her way towards a hidden path down to a little lake.
Sable winced as they went over a loud stick that made a sickening crack; Helen shrugged it off and continued down. Stopping just at the water's edge.
Sable looked out with huge eyes, his emotion sphere once again changing to an exclamation point.
A picture of a little island in the distance, its sharp peaks held a strange beauty to them as the mist tried again and again to seep into the narrow cracks.
"Isn't it pretty? I wish I could see something like this down on earth…."
"You will one day Maria! Just you wait and see!" Sable was confident, but he gazed back at the picture.
Sable was stiff, he finally relaxed from his mental attack but Helen didn't seem to mind.
"You like it? I used to come down here for hours to just stare at the water…" She murmured, more to herself than to her companion. Sable looked at her with guarded eyes; she gave a small smile, a sad one at that.
"Dad and Mom are always busy, I'm alone most of the time, but now I have you." She smiled looking down at Sable who seemed conflicted.
"Now you have me." He whispered, feeling the strangest feeling of Déjà' vou.
Helen smiled and stroked Sable's head, not even realizing as Sable grew a slight shade darker, barely noticeable.
"Now I have you." She concluded.
