Mansion 2: chapter 16
Sonic's POV
I honestly didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do either. "Sh-Shadow...i..." I started, but i didn't know what to say. I tried forcing a sentence from my lips, but i honestly didn't know what to say. "Sonic." Shadow whimpered and walked over to me. His arms were hanging limp by his side. The bloodied blades were shuffling against the ground, since he had to hunch over in order to get through that opening he made in the wall. He pressed himself against me and tried an attempt to rais his arms, but his arms just fell right back down to his sides. "Sonic." He said again and looked up to me. "i'm sorry." I said once i got out of shocked state and quickly wrapped my arms around him. He snuggled against my chest. "it hurts." He whispered. "i know it does. don't worry, i'll help you get rid of it." I said and stroked his quills. I hope that i was able to comfort him a little by doing this.
We stayed like this for a while before pulling away upon hearing a noise in the hallway. We looked back at eachother in confusion as to what that sound was. "could you break the door down?" I asked quietly as to make sure that we would not be heard by whatever was down in the hallway at the moment. Shadow nodded. I stepped out of the way and waited. Shadow raised his right arm with difficulty, since those blades were pretty heavy, and hit the door with much force. The door gave away beneath the powerfull hit and broke. I walked out through the doorway and l looked around in the long hallway. It was so dark. "come on, Shadow." I said and extended my hand to him. I softly laid my hand on his upper right arm and gentle pulled him out of the room. Shadow followed and walked into the hallway allong sides me.
We reached the end of the hallway much quicker then we thought. The hallway was very short, while the darkness made it seem very long instead. I pulled on the handle of the door, but found it to be closed. "can i?" Shadow asked. "be my guest." I sighed and stepped out of the way again. I knew that it hurt him, but i had no other choice. Shadow broke that door down swiftly. Seems like he's getting used to his arms being like this again. It was a real shame. He was getting faster used to having those blades indepted into his arms then having his arms without those blades. That made me kinda sad. But then again. The biggest part of his childhood he grew up with those blades. I guess it was only naturall that he got user faster to those blades then without them.
Shadow walked through the now open doorway and waited for me to pass through, which i did shortly after. In front of us was another dark hallway. "geez, why does everything have to be so dark?" I asked. "i have no idea." Shadow answered and continued down the hallway. I watched him go. Not everything was the same as it was back then. Shadow wasn't hunching over when he was walking like he was forced to do in that mansion. Atleast we had that in our favor.
