Give me your heart ~Sonadow~

Chapter 10 Add On

Dark's POV

If you can, listen to the song. I don't know why, but it seems to match this chapter...

***

I must say, the few moments I spent in control are probably the moments I hold most dear in my life. For once being in control of my joints, able to use my body...

Except that's not true. I've never had my own body, really it's Sonic's. I have no right to be here at all. To take control of his body... is like stealing his most treasured possession.

But no, it's more like borrowing, isn't it? After all, I give it back. Still, there's an emptiness inside me, maybe from having to loose the body so soon, maybe from taking it in the first place. Whatever it was, I didn't feel right.

Oh wait... I don't think it's either of those... something is absolutely, positively, very, very wrong. I could tell something was going on with Sonic and Shadow, something normally I would be eagerly watching, but not I felt odd.

I've never been sick. Sonic has, but I've never had the ability - not that I'm complaining. I am also, seeing as I am one part of the brain separate from all other parts, incapable of feeling pain, so I don't know how it feels. Yet if I were to experience it, I imagine this is how it would feel.

"S-Sonic..." I stuttered, desperate to get the blue hedgehog's attention. He stopped talking to Shadow quickly.

"Dark? Are you okay?" Sonic asked, pressing his hand to his head as if in an attempt to comfort me.

"S-something's wrong..." I choked out, feeling faint. Then Sonic started to panic.

"Dark! What's wrong?! How can I help you?!" He begged for an answer, but I couldn't say anything anymore. Everything hurt...

"What's wrong?" Shadow asked, and I felt a pang in my heart. Aww, he genuinely cares about me, even if I am just anger...

"Something's wrong with Dark!" Sonic looked to Shadow and I saw almost real worry in my the ebony eyes of my crush.

"I-I think I'm d-dying..." I stuttered, desperately trying to get the words out, but it was all I could say. Then, I was out of breath.

"No, Dark!" Sonic cried to me, though his words kept getting further away.

"What's happening?!" Shadow desperately cried out.

"H-he says he's dying!" Sonic cried out, hands on his head, "B-but I'm not! How could that happen?"

I'm sorry, Sonic... I thought, praying that he could hear me despite my inability to produce words. I guess I never really had much time... get Shadow for me, will you?

"No!" Sonic cried out, "n-no! Stay with me Dark! You've been here all my life! I-I won't be able to live without you!"

I think you'll have to... I explained, letting out a light chuckle. But hey, no more anger, right?

"That's not all you are!" He tried desperately to persuade me, as if it would change anything. "You're my friend, Dark! You were always there for me!"

And now I can't be... I sighed, almost sad about it. Despite the faults of my life here, namely being in someone else's body, I liked it. Sonic was a good person... and I really did hate to leave. You don't need me anymore. I guess that's why I'm to go...

"I'll always need you," Sonic began to cry, blurring the little vision I had left. "You're a part of me, Dark! You can't leave!"

I don't have a choice... I let out my last breath, goodbye, Sonic.

"That's right..." a new voice invaded my head. It was almost like when Sonic would speak to me when I was in control, except it wasn't Sonic's voice, nor was I in Sonic's body.

All I was, was a black glow. I guess this is my true form. A black glowing hedgehog, with no pupils or eyes at all.

"Do not worry, you are not dead. You will go back to your master. But on one condition... not that you have a choice." The voice chuckled. I wasn't bound by anything accept possibly my own mentality, but somehow I couldn't move. "Now, listen carefully..."
