Not alone anymore: chapter 13
Shadow's POV
I entered through the frontdoor and heard a curse coming from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and saw sonic holding a wound on his hand. I assumed that he was making breakfast for himself, thinking that i already had some, and cut himself accidently. "are you okay?" I asked making him jump. "yeah, i'm fine." He said and winced. "let me see." I asked and gently held his hand in my own. It looked like a deep cut. "this needs stitches." I said and opened a cabinet. I grabbed the first aid kit to treat his cut. I knew quite a bit about medical treatment. From stitching wounds, to burnt wound, to broken bones. So i knew how to take care of sonic's wound. He winced throughout the whole treatment, but i made it as less painfull as possible.
After the stitching i disinfected it and bandaged his hand. "are you okay now?" I asked in concern. I looked at his hand, which i was still holding in my own. "yeah, i'm fine." He said and grinned. He groaned and held a hand against his head. I looked up at him in concern. "i'm fine, just a headache." He said and let his hand fall to his side. He walked past me into the livingroom and sat down on the couch. I followed him quietly and stopped, standing in front of him.
Sonic sighed and rubbed his forehead with his eyes closed. "i've gotten the chaos emerald you were searching for." I said and took the chaos emerald that i still had inside the coat i was wearing. "that's nice." He said smilling and looked at me before closing his eyes again."are you sure you're okay?" I asked not really convinced by the nod he gave me. "it feels like i'm having the worst hangover ever, although i haven't had any alcohol yesterday." He chuckled and opened his eyes again. "i'll get you an aspirine." I said. He nodded in agreement and i left the chaos emerald on the dinnertable before continueing to the kitchen to search for an aspirine.
Sonic's POV
I couldn't keep my gaze of off the chaos emerald on the table. I didn't know why, but i felt drawn to it. I've never had that feeling before. This is the first time i've felt this way. I didn't know if i should follow the feeling or not. But something kept telling me that i should nomatter what. So i stood up and walked toward the emerald. I was a bit hesitant at first, but i grabbed it anyway. As soon as i had touched it my headache started to get worse. I groaned as it became even more painfull.
All of a sudden images kept passing by in my mind. I didn't know where they were coming from at first. Till i saw shadow and my friends in them. These images were all memories, but they weren't mine. I don't remember any of these events. Not untill now that is. The images kept coming. And sometimes they were cruel to watch. I fell to my knees as my headache became to bad. I had lost my grip on the chaos emerald and held my head in both of my hands. I let out a pained, loud groan. One that obviously had gotten shadow's attention. He had ran to my side and was on his knees asking what was wrong and calling my name.
It only took a few minutes, but to me it felt like an eternity before the memories and the pain ceased. I felt exhausted by this point. Exhausted, dizzy and something else. I felt like a whole diffirent person. I now knew who these memories belonged to. They belonged to shadow's late husband. When realizing this i felt reliefed. Reliefed to see shadow safely by my side. I knew what had happened. I looked at shadow and smiled. My vision had gotten really blurry and i felt exhaustion catching up to me fast. "sh-shadow, ho-hon-" I stuttered with a smile, but i couldn't finish my sentence as i gave into my exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
