Mansion 2: chapter 3
Shadow's POV
I sat up in shock and looked around to recognize my surroundings. I sighed in relief as i recognized my current enviremont to be my home. I wiped the sweat of off my forehead and laid back down. I looked at sonic and saw that he was still fast asleep.
I had been having another nightmare. It was the same one every night. All those nightmares were about that mansion and what i had to go through in it. Everything looked and felt so real in it. It seemed like i still was trapped inside that hellhole. The pain from those blades, my broken knees and several cuts seemed real. The fright of those horrors, who used to be normal everyday poeple, that were trapped in the underground alongside with me seemed real.
I got up from the bed with difficulty and slowly went to the window. I looked out through the window up to the moon. I just wanted to relax a little before trying to go back to sleep again. I felt my knees starting to shake from the effort i was making them do. Meaning that i couldn't stand for long anymore before they would give up which would be making me fall down to the ground. I turned back to my bed and walked slowly over to it. I sat down on my bed and glanced at sonic for a few moments before laying back down on the bed.
I tried to sleep, but my nightmare had kept me awake all night. Instead of sleeping i had been waiting for sonic to wake up. Untill i got tired of that and crawled downstairs to watch some late night soaps. I had a hard time getting downstairs, but atleast i didn't have to stop and wait for sonic to wake up and find me on the floor because i couldn't go on anymore. I was sitting on the couch, watching the first rays of sunlight lighting a new summer day.
I felt very tired, but i couldn't bring myself to sleep. I hoped that sonic would be awake soon. And as if on cue, i heard that very same person call my name in panic. Probably when noticing that i wasn't next to him anymore. I chuckled softly and felt slightly guilty for leaving the bed instead of waiting for him. I heard hurried foosteps down the stairs and not to soon after the door opened to reveal a panicking hedgehog.
"were you that worried about me?" I asked and smiled tiredly at him. He nodded. "i had a nightmare. about you. so i panicked when i didn't see you next to me. i almost thought that what happened a month ago was all a dream. and i was finally awakening from one big bad dream." He said and walked over to me. He sat down on the couch next to me. Now that i had a good look at him, he did seem really tired aswell. I'm not the only one having nightmares it seems.
