Mansion 2: chapter 11
James' POV
I couldn't believe what i was hearing. Shadow? Gone again? Kidnapped by that same madman who maimed him and scarred him for life? I lost my grip on the phone, which allowed it to fall onto the ground. My hand started trembling and my eyes had widened in shock. I was frozen in place and stared at the wal in front of me.
I would've kept staying like this for a while if someone hadn't awoken me from my shocked state by laying a hand on my shoulder. "honey, are you okay?" Jasmine asked upon finding me so shocked after being awakened by hearing the phone drop to the floor. It took me a while to find the right words to tell her what i had just heard through the message left on my voicemail. "shadow is gone." I told her softly. Jasmines' eyes went wide upon hearing it and tears gathered in the corners of her eyes after it had sunk in.
Sonic's POV
I looked at my mobile phone for the so maniest time that night. I always expected James to call back and it made me anxious when he did the exact opposite. I felt my eyelids becoming heavy out of exhaustion, but i didn't want to fall asleep. I wanted to stay awake in case we arrived. But i knew that we had to stop soon. The young police woman, Emily i think her name was, was falling asleep aswell. So we had to stop quickly or we would crash into something. Emily knew aswell and was currently trying to find a place to stay for the night.
I was about to doze off again when i heard my cellphone ring. I looked at the screen. The call came from Shadow's parents. Probably James. I clicked on the recieve button and held the small device against my ear before talking. "hello? james?" I said. I knew for what he called. "is it true? that shadow is gone?" I heard him ask. I could also hear crying at the other end of the phone line. The crying must belong to Jasmine, Shadow's mother. It felt like i had gone back in time. 13 years ago, it was the same scenario. James calling. Shadow's mother being heard crying in the background. Shadow being held captive in, what i'm sure off, a place that could be right out of a horror movie. Only this time, i was being called in the car of a friend instead of at home. And this time, it was me being called instead of my father. I sighed in sorrow before answering. "yes. he's gone." I answered softly and heard Jasmine's crying harden.
