Not alone anymore: chapter 14
Shadow's POV
"sonic! wake up!" I yelled and tried to wake him. But he stayed unconcious. I started to panic, but tried to keep myself calm. I knew that you couldn't move someone who has fainted. So i grabbed a pillow from the couch and laid it beneath his head. I also grabbed a chair and laid his loower legs on them. I had learned that it was good for the blood circulation. Now all i could do was wait for him to wake up.
Minutes ticked by, but he still didn't give a sign that he would wake up. I started pondering over what to do next. I could call a doctor, but i had a feeling sonic wouldn't appreciate that very much. He always had a thing against doctors, but i wasn't sure if this sonic was the same way. I sighed and decided to use my own medical knowlegde.
I had laid him upstairs and the bed. A few hours had passed by, but nothing much had changed except for the occasional move in position. I had discovered that he hadn't fainted, but that he had fallen asleep instead. Knowing that i was very reliefed. I was sitting on the side of the bed watching him. I didn't really have anything else to do and i had this habit of waiting here right next to him till he finally woke up. I thought about what had happened. Just what has that chaos emerald done to him? and was it dangerous? and if it was, would there be any permanent damages? I hoped not. I was so deep in thought while i was looking out the window. To deep in thought to notice him stirring and waking up from his slumber.
Sonic's POV
I was seeing these images again, but this time i didn't have a headache and they were passing by alot slower. Giving me the opportunity to relive them, i guess.I knew who all these memories belonged to. They belonged to shadow's late husband. And i felt like i had somehow become that person. These memories that the chaos emerald gave me felt as real as mine did. Like i had forgotten them years ago and suddenly remembered them. I felt reborn.
I woke up from my slumber. I opened my eyes halfway and looked to me side to see shadow. He was sitting on the side of the bed looking through the window. I squeezed me right hand. It felt weird not feeling shadow hold. Because i had shadow's late husband's, or rather, my memories back, i knew how shadow used to be like when we were married. He always used to hold my hand, so it felt weird that he wasn't doing it. "shadow." I said stratling him. He looked at me and smiled. "you're awake." He said. I recognized that look in his eyes. I knew alot about shadow now that i had these memories. I remembered alot of stuff including his expression. He had this worried look that also said why-did-i-have-to-take-this-chaos-emerald-with-me-look. "how are you feeling?" He asked. "i'm fine." I answered and sat up on the bed. "you shouldn't get up, you need rest." Shadow said and tried to push me back down. "don't worry, i feel just fine." I said taking his hands of off my shoulder. Shadow was silent as he noticed that i was still holding his hands in my own. It felt so long since i've last held them. And in fact it was.
I noticed something as i held his hands. After all these years he was still wearing his wedding ring. "you're still wearing it at your left hand." I said recieving a confused look from shadow. "i remember now." I said, but shadow was still confused. But he also had a disbelieving glint in his eyes. "what do you mean?" He asked. "you don't remember? well, that doesn't surprise me. it wouldn't be the first time that you had amnesia." I said and recieved a shocked face from him. "how did you know? i never told you about the amnesia i had." He said in shock. "no you didn't, i know about it because i was there." I said trying to convince him that it was me. "what do you mean?" He asked and took his hands back. "it's me, shadow. i'm finally back." I said, but that only got shadow mad. "what are you doing? are you making fun of me?" He asked and got up from the bed. I tried to convince him otherwise. But the more i said, the angrier he got. He didn't believe me. I wouldn't blame him. Who would believe that their dead husband had come back to life.
Shadow and i had been argueing for a while now. He didn't want to believe me. I can understand that it must be hurting to hear things like this. He didn't want to believe me because it hurt. Shadow got up from the bed and walked out. I got up from the bed aswell. I pulled on my shoes and walked down the stairs. Shadow wasn't anywhere in the house. So i grabbed my coat and made my way to the place he always went to whenever he got upset like this.
