Not alone anymore: chapter 3
Shadow's POV
After i had passed out they had taken me to the hospital. The doctor helped me through my emotional turmoil. I tried my best to get my mental state up again. Because i wanted to attend sonic's funeral. They didn't allow me to leave untill they were sure that i was mentally stable again. Since i wasn't doing any better when sonic's funeral was here they weren't sure to let me attend. But after some begging i was allowed to go after all. On his funeral it was raining very heavily. It was as if nature felt our sadness and showed it with the heavy rain.
After sonic's funerall i was brought back to the hospital soon. Sonic must be really happy now. He's able to see all of his friends again. The friends who had passed away years before he finally did. He must've missed them very much. I was kinda happy he was now reunited with them. His friends were his family after all. Just like his friends had become mine aswell. We were all having a great time. But unfortunatly, they had passed away. One by one they all went away. And soon it was just me and sonic. And now, it was just me. i was all alone now.
years had gone by. Even two centuries did. I had gone through hard times. Alot of hard times. But it didn't matter to me anymore. Nothing mattered to me anymore. I lost everyone i cared about. So why would i care about everything that had happened during these past two centuries?
I was walking through the city. I was on my daily walk. I only got out for those. For the remaining time i locked myself inside my house. It was a very old house now. The mayor was trying to get me out of my own house because it was to old to live in now. But i didn't want to leave it. All of my memories with sonic and his friends were there. I just couldn't give that up. They wouldn't get me out of the house. Not in a million years.
I was spacing out during my walk like i would normally do. I didn't notice the kid in front of me till i bumped into it. "ouch." The kid said as he fell on the ground with his butt. "so-" I wanted to apologize till i noticed the cruel resemblance to one of my friends. The kid. He looked exactly like tails. I glared at him and walked past him. my mind must be playing tricks on me again, like it often would. I was just mixing him up with tails. he must be nothing like him. Nothing at all.
Unfortunatly, my mind wasn't playing tricks on me. "hey! don't pick on my little bro like that!" I heard someone yell. it was such a familiar voice. So familiar and beloved that it hurt hearing it. I turned around and was shocked to see who it was. It couldn't be. it just couldn't be. I was there when he grew old. I was there when his health got worse. i was there when he died. Sonic coudln't be standing in front of me right now! I couldn't understand what was happening! Was someone playing a cruel trick on me? "ho-how." I said and watched sonic walk closer to me. "picking on my little bro is not cool, you hear me?" He yelled. "wh-who are you?" I whimpered and stepped back. Sonic raised an eyebrow in confusion. "hey, sonic, tails, what's wrong?" I heard another familiar voice. I looked behind me and saw knuckles approaching us holding a bag and besides him amy holding a bag aswell. I started to panic. Was someone playing with my mind at this moment? Was this a nightmare. they noticed my horrorified look in my eyes and got a bit worried. "are you okay?" I heard another voice say and lay a hand on my shoulder. It was rouge. But how? This doesn't make any sense? This isn't possible?
I whimpered out of fear. "this isn't possible!" I yelled and ran for it.
