Past Secrets

Chapter 18 - Old Enemies, New worries

Shadow's POV 8:00 am

I opened my eyes and to my pleasure he was not there. It was weird as I looked through my blurry vision I saw this person, she wore a white dress with black high heels. She had long hair and she had a face that sent me into awe.

"Maria…." I said faintly.

The girl turned when I mumbled that name. She sat down on the bed I was placed in and put her hand on my cheek.

"Shhhh Shadow… its ok…just relax. I'm happy your ok." Said the women.

I smiled and lifted my hand and put it on her leg. She put her hand on mine.

"Thank you Maria." I said faintly.

"Your welcome Shadow. I hate to do this but you just had brain surgery, I need to give you a big dose of morphine to help your body recover from the damage. This shot will put you asleep for awhile Shadow." Said the girl.

"It doesn't hurt that bad Maria; I'll be ok." I said while trying to sit up.

The girl who I thought was my Maria forced me back into the bed when I tried to move. She got really close to my face and my vision cleared. She wasn't Maria but she looked just like her in more way then one. Inside I was mad that I was played with like that, but I was happy to see someone who reminded me of her.

"I'm sorry Shadow, but Eggman told me your not aloud to get up for a while. I have to do this please forgive me, but I'll be here when you wake up; and I promise that when you do, I will help you get back on your feet till your ready to leave, ok?" Asked the girl.

I was confused.

"I can leave when I'm ready?" I asked her.

"Of course you can, but not now. You need to rest up." Said the girl

I smiled and was surprised I was aloud to leave when I was in better condition. Its not like Eggman to be this generous. He has to have something up his sleeve and when I get the chance to talk to him in private, I swear I'm going to have one hell of a conversation.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"My names Amber."

"Amber…that's a beautiful name. Its too bad your human…Heheh." I laughed softly.

Amber smiled and laughed with me. I began to slowly drift into sleep once again. The whole time we were talking I didn't even feel her put that needle in my arm. I put my head down and closed my eyes. I don't know how long I'll be out, but I hope Eggman doesn't do anything to me.

Amber's POV

I hope Shadow won't be mad when he wakes up. I sneak in that needle, but it had to be done. I stared into his closed eyes as he slowly fell into a coma. He still had his hand on my leg and slowly took it off me and put it on his chest hair. I did my first job and that was to put him to sleep. Now I have to make him comfortable. Shadows wearing jeans and he will be out cold for a while and I know that's not comfortable. I made my way down his body till I reached his pants. I began to unbutton them and I slowly pulled down the zipper. Once that was done; I carefully pulled them down. Shadow didn't react the whole time that was happening, thank god. As I was about to get them off completely someone entered the room behind me.

"Well, well, well. What do we have going on in here Amber?"

I turned around fast and it was Eggman who stood there.

"Ohhh… ahhh….it's not what it looks like sir." I tried to say in a hurry.

Sure, I know you wouldn't take advantage of him while he's in a coma, but it sure seems smart. Said Eggman.

"Oh please sir. He's a hedgehog and I'm a human. It would never turn into what he used to have with Maria." I said.

Eggman laughed and took me by the hand.

"Come on, you have done all that was asked of you for today." Said Eggman.

"Are you sure?" I questioned as we left the room leaving Shadow asleep in bed.

"You have something more important to think about." Said Eggman.

"Yes sir." I said while shutting the door to Shadow's room

Before the door closed Eggman said.

"Now Operation Decisive can begin."
