Past Secrets
Chapter 30 - Meeting With Friends
Shadow's POV
I waited as the phone rang repeatedly without an answer. I hope Amy picks up. I thought to myself.
Dark looks at me and nodded his head wondering if she was going to answer, I just surged my shoulders in response.
"Ring!"
"Ring!"
"Come on Amy; please pick up." I said to myself.
"Hello?" It was Amy.
"Amy, it's Shadow." I replied.
"Shadow! I was so worried. Where are you?" Asked Amy in joy.
"Me and Dark just got back to North End, we are at my house." I responded.
"Wait. Who's Dark?" Wondered Amy.
"Oh ahh… you'll all meet him soon. So where do you want to meet up?" I asked.
"I'll call everyone and we'll come by your place." Replied Amy.
"Are you sure?" I wondered.
"Yeah I'm sure. We'll be there in about ten minutes." Replied Amy.
"Ok, I'll see you guys soon." I said while hanging up the phone.
I looked back at Dark and he was staring at me with curiosity.
"What?" I asked.
"They are all coming over here?" Asked Dark.
"Yeah, why?" I replied.
Dark pointed towards our gear from last night that we left on the kitchen counter.
"Shit!" I shouted while walking towards it.
Dark stood up off the couch and entered the kitchen with me.
"How do you want to handle this?" Asked Dark.
"We need to hide it. We can't let them find all this." I replied.
We had all our armor except for my vest that Eggman took off and what was left of our guns.
"You take the armor Dark; and try and hide it." I ordered him.
Dark took all the pads and his vest in one load and quickly rushed them upstairs. I looked at the remaining weapons. My M1911 and Dark's MP5 and his M1911's plus both our knives and Dark still had a flash bang.
I took the flash bang and put it in my right pocket. Then I took the M1911's and the MP5 and knives and ran upstairs to my room. As I ran through the hallway Dark past me and stopped me by the shoulder.
"The armors in my room, I hide it pretty well so don't worry." Said Dark.
"Alright, go downstairs and wait for my friends; while I hide the weapons." I replied.
Dark nodded and ran down the stairs. I quickly entered my room and ran to the closet. I threw open the doors and looked around to find a place to put them. Once I got them settled in proper positions; I closed the doors and began to leave my room, but I stopped and went back to my bed. I picked up the teddy bear and for some reason I took off the rose that Amy attached to its chest and put it deep in my back pocket along with Maria's and Dark's picture. I put back down the bear and ran downstairs to find Dark sprawled out on the couch.
"Did you hide them?" Asked Dark.
I nodded my head and moved his legs aside and took a seat next to him.
"Well, that was close. We don't want them finding out we did that." Said Dark in content.
I exhaled deeply and fell back onto Dark's lap. I rested my head. Dark poked me in my red streak. I opened my eyes barely and looked at him.
"You ok?" Asked Dark.
"I'm just extremely tired for some reason." I replied.
"Why?" Asked Dark.
"I have no clue. It just hit me." I replied.
I began to close my eyes and fall asleep. As I was about to drift into sleep, Dark put his hand on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and looked at him.
"What?" I asked.
"Do you always get nose bleeds?" Asked Dark.
"No why?" I wondered.
I felt my nose and then looked at my hand. I had blood all over it. This can't be a nose bleed.
I quickly lifted my head and sat back up. When I lifted my head, blood began to pour down my face. Dark jumped off the couch and ran into the kitchen, as I held my nose I began to feel something happening to my eyes. They felt evil, like my old form. Dark rushed me with a handful of napkins. I took them in my hands and tried to clean up the blood.
It took all the napkins to clean it all up, but it finally stopped after five minutes. Dark held my head up as I tried to recover.
"Are you ok?" Asked Dark.
"What was that all about?" I replied.
"Nose bleed." Suggested Dark.
"No. I had a nose bleed before and I know that's not one." I replied.
"Then what happened?" Asked Dark.
"I don't know, but lets worry about that later. My friends are almost here." I replied.
Dark nodded his head and took the bloody napkins from me and threw them away in the trash can.
After he was done with that, he took a seat next to me again. How do you feel? Asked Dark.
"My eyes feel kind of weird." I replied.
"Weird?" Questioned Dark.
"Like really weird." I said.
Dark moved my head towards him and looked into my eyes. His face brightened up in fear.
"What?" I asked in a scared tone. My voice!
Dark looked at me in fear. My voice was different. It was my old form's voice speaking.
Dark stared into my eyes with fear. We both knew something was completely wrong.
"Do something!" I shouted in anger.
Dark looked around and pulled out his emerald. He then laid me back against the couch.
"Relax brother." Said Dark.
"How is it breaking free?" I shouted at him.
"I don't know how, but I'm not letting it control you." Replied Dark.
"Nether am I." I replied.
Dark smiled and shouted.
"Chaos seal!"
The emerald's power overwhelmed my body and my old form retreated into my soul once again. Blood began to drizzle down from my eyes and Dark quickly wiped them off with his sleeve. I relaxed and looked into his eyes.
"How?" I asked.
Dark looked at me and replied.
"I don't know, but you scared the shit out of me."
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Me and Dark looked at the door and then at each other.
"I'll get." Said Dark.
"No I'll get." I said while forcing him to seat down.
"Shadow. Let me. After what just happened, it's to soon." Said Dark.
"Shut the fuck up!" I shouted at him.
Dark's eyes widened and I began to cover my face. I didn't mean to say that. It was my old form still.
"I'm sorry Dark." I said sadly.
Dark understood and I walked towards the door and opened it gently.
Behind the door was Amy, Sonic, Silver, Tails, and Knuckles. Amy looked into my eyes and charged me.
"Shadow!" Shouted Amy as she hugged me to death. My old form wanted to throw her through the window, but I'm not letting that happen. I tried extra hard and hugged her back.
"Please come in." I said while moving me and Amy aside.
Everyone entered my house and stared at me.
Amy looked up at me and asked.
"What have you been hiding from us?"
"Yeah Shadow? What's going on with you?" Added Sonic.
I glared at Sonic and he backed up slowly. My old form wanted to kill him and I kind of wanted to anyway. I took a breath and replied.
"Come take a seat in the living room and we will talk."
Everyone nodded and followed me into the living room where Dark awaited.
I went to the couch and helped Dark up. I then turned him around to face everyone and said.
"I would like you all to meet Dark."
Dark walked towards everyone and stuck out his hand.
Amy took his hand first and asked?
"Your that hedgehog we saw with Shadow before. Why?"
"Me and Shadow had to deal with something for old times sake. So we agreed to meet here and head out from here." Replied Dark.
Amy let go of his hand and Sonic was the next to take it.
"I'm Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog. Nice to meet you." Said Sonic happily.
Dark's face turned angry and he tighten his grip on his hand.
"You're the famous Sonic my brother informed me of." Replied Dark.
"Wow I didn't think everyone knew me. Who's your brother maybe I know him?" Asked Sonic.
Dark turned and pointed at me. Everyone looked in shock.
Dark returned to my side and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"I'm Shadow's twin brother." Said Dark.
Silver and Tails rushed us and shouted.
"Your twins! Shadow why didn't you tell us you had a twin brother!"
I couldn't responded the old form pushed back on me. I pushed Dark aside and began to run to my room.
"Shadow! Where are you going!" Shouted Amy.
"I'll be back. Dark will answer what questions you have!" I shouted back at her.
Everyone turned and looked at Dark who was scared because he knew I couldn't beat it on my own, but he was forced to stay there.
I ran into my room and fell onto my knees. My eyes began to bleed again and I couldn't tame it. If my old form breaks free it will kill everything, even Amy. I will not let that happen. I ran to my bed side and picked up my M9 and checked the clip. As soon as I had it loaded I began to lift it to my head. As I clutched the trigger it happened.
I dropped the gun and it landed back on the nightstand. I fell onto the floor and past out.
Shadow's mind
I soon as I opened my eyes I noticed I was completely normal. Did my old form take my body and my soul is trapped within, or is something else going on? I looked behind me and he stood before me; but how?
