Thanks for all the reviews and PMs telling me that the story is good. Sadly, this is the last chapter. But don't worry, I will start a new story sometime in the coming weekend, so stay tuned. And then, without further ado...
Musical Liberation: Chapter 7
An embarrassed Shadow looked down, trying to think of a way to change the topic of the conversation. A question that Shadow had wondered about was the surprising choice of colours that the house had.
"Well…" He started. "I was wondering why you coloured your interior black. Doesn't seem like your colour"
A confused look turned to a sad one as Amy answered:
"I painted the walls black some days after your death. The exterior remained white because… it kind'a represented me; a fake smile on the outside, grieving and depressed on the inside. I know it sounds weird, but… the black walls also represents the loss of… you" Amy finished, teary-eyed and sobbing.
"Even in death… I seem to hurt the innocent. I'm… sorry" Shadow whispered, ashamed of himself and his actions. He got up from his end of the sofa, walked over to Amy and hugged her. Amy returned the hug, somewhat surprised of the sudden show of affection.
Amy looked up at Shadow, their eyes meeting. Amy used this moment to study his eyes: Crimson irises, filled with emotion; hate, pain, loneliness, arrogance… and love, long lost in the pools of destruction.
Shadow did the same thing; study Amys eyes: Green irises filled with emotion; love, happiness, uncertainty and… pain and grief, crushing her young spirit.
"Because of me…" Shadow thought. "I need to make things right again… This is my promise to you".
"I'm sorry" Shadow spoke, barely above a whisper.
"Don't be. Just stay" Amy muttered, breaking eye contact and rested her head on Shadows shoulders.
"I shouldn't have put you through this pain…" Shadow trailed off, gazing into the nothingness of the darkness that filled the room. Amy noticing how much he cared about her well-being.
"Maybe there is a chance" Amy thought as she mustered up her courage and looked up at Shadow. Shadow noticed her movement and looked at her, eyes meeting again. They stared at each-other for a couple of seconds. Quickly, Amy planted a soft kiss on Shadows lips. Just as quickly, she pulled back and looked down, afraid of his reaction.
Shadow sat in silence, with "shock" written all over his face. He needed a couple of seconds to recoup from the situation. When he did, he realised Amy had retreated, looking down, body trembling.
"She is afraid of me…" Shadow thought as he chuckled.
"I'm sorry" Amy whispered.
Shadow gently lifted her chin with his hand and answered:
"Don't be. Just stay…"
He then planted a soft kiss on her lips.
"… This is my promise to you"
The End
A prologue and seven chapters! Not bad for the first story. Thanks for the support I've been getting. A sequel is not impossible, but not in the near future.
Until next time…
