Secret Garden

The demon was just sitting on a rock looking down at the crystal clear water, below him, unique and different colored pond fish swimming around in the water, without a care in the world, his only tilted his ears back.

"N-No Stop!! I...can prove that I'm not a disgrace!?!"

He only closed his eyes, at the painful memory on how God and Satan banished him to this garden, to this part of the land, deep scars were on his back from where his own wings were ripped off of his body. His mind wonder to that darker hedgehog...and the pain that he was feeling inside.

Curiosity got to better of him and he dipped his fingers into the water, the tattoo glowing a cyan color as the pool of water started to show him an image...or rather a dream, that the darker hedgehog was having.

He only watched, the scene play out, it show Shadow running down the hallways of what looked to be a space station, a young human girl following behind him trying to keep up, with him...the demon of course heard stories of Mobians and Humans getting along, hell he's seen some of them in his garden, but they looked rather fearful.

That's when he saw the G.U.N logo on the soldier's sleeves, they were holding guns and chasing after the to.

"Capture him!?!" The Soldiers shouted at the two.

The demon only flinched when he heard the gunshot, but the darker hedgehog was trapped being a glass escaped pod, the human girl had gotten shot before she sent the hedgehog away to Mobius below.

The scene disappeared in front of him, he can't really blame that darker hedgehog for being the way that he was for losing someone that seem so close to him. He really couldn't relate to that.

Shadow shot awake in his bed, as was just panting heavily, he looked around his room to find that he was safe in his large apartment, in his own bed, he only pressed his hands to his head, as he tried to keep himself together.

It didn't help much, since tears started forming in the corner of his eyes, to him the dream was rather a common thing...that he had every night...hints the reason why he didn't sleep much at night nor during the day he just couldn't, not when that painful was haunting him.

He only sniffs, as he pulls his phone over to see the time...it was only two in the morning, when his nightmare woke him up, he only turns off his alarm and gets out of bed, dressed in only sweatpants.

"Shadow...isn't the view beautiful"

Shadow shifted his attention to the large glass when that looked out at the single balcony, the stars and Empire Cities lights lit up most of the night sky...it was in fact beautiful to see at night, but for him it was just a reminder what his life was like back on that space station. He only walked past the window, to the kitchen...pulling out a bag of Acorn Brand coffee beans, and his coffee grinder.

While his coffee was brewing, he looked down at his arm...he was rather immortal, but it didn't mean that he couldn't being injured, only that he couldn't die of old age, or any diseases, he ran his finger over the now fully healed cuts that he made himself on his arm...no matter what he did to his own body, it would always heal the wound.

To be honest he didn't really know why he was still around, if anything he didn't deserve this...not to be re-awoken, or even be considered a hero...he was better off with the amnesia.

He just sat down at the table, in his kitchen with his mug...he was use to the silence...now that Rouge didn't live with him anymore, he was rather alone with his thoughts. The thoughts of regret, anger, loneliness, and grief.
