Mansion 2: chapter 20
Sonic's POV
An allerted growl was heard throughout this whole area. "Shadow." I whispered silently upon hearing that growl. I hoped that the thing that had made that growl hadn't found Shadow. But then again, we would be rid of that thing if it would find Shadow. After all, Shadow was able to kill a huge monster that tried to kill me last time we were in this kind of trouble. He could handle that thing without much trouble. I, on the other hand, am completely useless agaisnt such obstacles.
Shadow's POV
I had made my way further into the hall after leaving Sonic in that closet. I was searching for a place i could hide in from any possible dangers. I didn't want to deal with that thing. It disturbed me greatly and it made me affraid. Not really affraid of that thing itself since i could figh tit off easily, but of the fact that that thing used to be someone like me. An ordinairy person. Who's future and life got forcefully taken away from him for someone's sick, sadistic pleasure of destroying an innocent person.
I saw a door in front of me and walked towards it. I wanted to try to open that door, but i wasn't able to get my hand to turn the knob. I was losing my strenght in my arms again. I took a step back and prepared myself to break down the wooden obstacle and look around for a place to hide untill the potential danger had ceased and i could go back to Sonic to continue our way. I attempted to get rid of the door in front of me, but i couldn't get through it. As if it had been blocked by the inside. I sighed and turned around, i guess i had to face that thing head on if i couldn't find an alternative. I walked back. I tried to find my way back to Sonic. But i had gotten a bit lost. I couldn't call for him. 'Cause if he called back for me, then someone, or rather something, would find him. I didn't want to take that risk.
It took me a while, but i finally started to recognize my surroundings again. I had gone this way before. I was close to where that thing was heard, but i didn't hear it anymore. All i heard were some mice, rats and my footsteps. Other then that there was complete silence. I knew i was now close to him. I could somehow feel that i was. I somehow felt a bit anxious aswell. I didn't know if it was paranoia, or the soft coming sound of rumbling that was starting. The sound of rumlbing was becoming louder and louder. It sounded as if something was collapsing. "Sonic." I whispered in concern. I fastened my pace as i couldn't run yet. I couldn't be far any more.
I saw the closeth that Sonic was hiding in in front of me. Sonic was out of it now. He had been startled by the rumbling aswell. "Shadow?" What's going on?" He asked and walked towards me. The rumbling sounded deafening. This whole place was rumbling and shaking. With my legs still being weak, i wasn't able to keep myself balanced and fell to the ground. I yelped when hitting the ground and panicked when the roof collapsed. I protected my head incase some ceilling had decided to come falling down on my head.
The rumbling ceased and so did the shaking. I sat up and coughed because of all the dust. "Sonic?" I asked and looked at the rumble in front of me. "Sonic!" I said and crawled over to the rumble. "Sonic! if you're there answer me!" I yelled, but there was no answer coming from him. "no, no, no! this can't be!" I yelled and tried to move the rocks away. I had to get to the other side to make sure he wasn't hared by the falling rumbling. Or worse, killed by being crushed. "Sonic...please...answer." I said as i started to sob. No one answered my question. There was only silence.
