Here is the character you all have been waiting for! Shadow the Edgehog… jk, Shadow the Hedgehog! The dark twin of Sonic! Also trigger warning: there is swearing in this chapter so if you don't like it then i'm sorry.
Faker… ally, associate, friend. Friend? Why would I think of him like that? Sure, we were allies but never… friends. Regarding that have I ever treated him with respect? I try to recall a time where I have but I can't… shit. He's always treated me with respect and always tried putting a smile on my face, but I just pushed him away… and now he's gone…. And I never said sorry. I feel hot tears at the corner of my eyes and I cross my arms, turn away and close my eyes. Why am I crying? He was nothing to me. My chest feels hot at thinking that… I know the feeling.
Remorse and sadness
I never truly regarded him as anything to me… and I now realize that I have taken Fak- no Sonic for granted. I'm about to weep and let my emotions show (which I've never done except to Maria) when I feel something slam into me. I open my eyes to see that it's that fox kid, Tails, I'm this close to shoving him off of me roughly when I remember what is happening and let him cry on my shoulder. I then do something I never would have imagined that I would do in my life ever again. I take the kid in my arms and hold him, returning his gesture. I stay strong and do not cry for his sake, we let go and I nod to him. I look over at Sonic's body.
It's my turn to speak.
"Sonic… I, I just wanted to say.. I-I- I'm sorry… I treated you like crap and… I would give up anything in this world… even my immortality to speak with you once again and to treat you properly. I will never have the chance to do that and I am sorry, all I have ever done was push you away… Maria's promise was to treat humans with respect and to be friends with them… even though you aren't human, I know that I have not kept her promise." Shadow then got down on his knees and buried his head into Sonic's chest. He let all of his emotions out: Sadness, remorse, fear. Sadness for the death of a friend, remorse for his actions towards the Blue Blur, and fear that he will become like his old-self. Shadow didn't care who was watching him, he cried out of respect for the dead hedgehog. Shadow finally got up and said "You were the true winner of our races; Sayonara, Sonic the Hedgehog"
Wow, this chapter has almost more than half of the words out of them all so far! That was fun to write! I hope you like it! R&R
