Not alone anymore: chapter 16
Shadow's POV
The rain was reflecting the way we felt. I knew that it was a very sorrowfull day, but even so i still smiled. Even thought it was a very sad smile, i was smilling. Our friends didn't know why i was smilling like this on a dreadfull day like this. But i was smilling because i knew something they didn't know. So i didn't really have a reason to be sad. Even if i knew that i would have to wait a long time before i saw him again. we will all miss him. Especially me, but i knew that he would be back. He would come back like he did all those years ago. It was just a matter of time.
The funeral service was coming to an end. I was all alone now. Standing in front of his grave. All alone except for one more person. "we should go. you need your rest, mom." The other hedgehog said. I looked up to him and smiled. He was our son. In our second life together, we had finally succeeded in having a child of our own. "i'll be fine, but i guess we should go." I said and turned away from the grave into the direction of the exit of the graveyard. Silver started walking in that direction. I looked over my shoulder to the gravestone. "can't wait to see you again, honey." I said smilling sadly and followed him quickly.
Years had gone by. I had watched my son and friends pass away. Then my grandchildren, after them their kids and then their kids. But i never lost hope. Not like i did last time. I had hope because i knew that i would have another chance with him. I was walking down the streets. I knew that he was back. I could feel it. That was the reason i was on a walk. I went to search for him. I didn't know if my feeling was correct, but it was worth a try.
I had been walking for a few hours now. I was starting to suspect that he wasn't here yet. But my suspicions went away quickly. As soon as i saw his familiar figure in front of me. I called out to him. He turned around and looked at me. I smiled at him. We both kept standing there looking at eachother. He was waiting. Waiting for me to say something. But i didn't say anything. I just stood there smilling at him. 'welcome back, honey.' I thought after taking a deep breath and walked towards him in hopes of starting our lives together for a third time.
