Shadow's POV:
I can hear a piercing death scream down the hallway. This happens every morning... Ever since the ARK crashed people have been trying to uncover its secrets. My creator Gerald Robotnik was an excellent scientist. He was head scientist of the ARK 50 years ago. The ARK now is used as a mental hospital. But it's also my home. So instead of alarm clocks I wake up to one of the patients screaming her head off at her psychologist.
I normally help some of the psychologists with some of the patients so I walk down the hallway following the scream. I knock on the door and see a cat clawing at anything she can get to, including herself "Oh God! Shadow help! Restrain her or something!" Belinda, the cat's psychologist looks petrified. I don't normally like restraining patients but this seems serious. I hold her down to the lounge.
I try not to show any pain but its hard not to. She's digging her claws into my arms while she screams. God I feel sorry for her. "They're everywhere!!! They won't leave me alone! GO AWAY!!!"
"There's nothing here Luna" Belinda straightens herself up and tries to instruct 'Luna' "Clear you mind and take deep breaths" Luna seems to be having a lot of trouble doing so. Maybe it's me, I decide to loosen my grip "I-I can't!"
"Yes you can. Just stand up. Don't touch anything and breathe" I guess that's my signal to let go, I try but her claws are stuck into my arms. I gotta help her, so I gently lift her up off the lounge and hold her up, with claws still impaled into my arms "Ok, now breathe" Luna closes her eyes and takes at least five deep breaths.
Luna's POV:
I fee horrible. This random hedgehog is helping me and I've got my stupid claws stuck in his arms... he's even bleeding and he's not showing any pain. "Now, Luna what are five things you can see?" My vision is going a bit blurry but I try and focus "T-This hedgehog... Your coffee, some pillows, a melted clock t-thing.... and" I can't think of anything else other then blood, but I don't thing that's the best thing to say right now. "I think that's it"
"Alright, five things you can hear?"
"My breathing, his breathing, the air vent, your pen on paper and voices" The psychologist looks a little freaked out by the last one "Ok last one, five things you can feel?" It would probably be creepy to say 'his' blood but it's true. Before answering I loosen my grip and finally let go. He's not even holding his arms! He must be able to take pain really well... I look at my paws and they're covered with his blood, I start to tear up "b-blood... tears, hair over my face, my clothes and the temperature..."
"Ok, how are you feeling now?" I may have just finished the anxiety attack but... I feel horrible "regret" The black and red hedgehog gets a wet cloth and cleans my paws for me, that makes me feel even worse "It's ok Luna, I don't expect you to be able to control you problem right now... Thank you for helping shadow" Shadow... That suits him really well... "I'm sorry S-shadow..." I stand up and get two clean cloths and wrap his arms in them "I don't know what I was doing... I'm so sorry" I feel myself starting to cry even more "This ends our session Luna. I'll see you next week ok?" I nod "Shadow, would you mine keeping an eye on her today? She's starting her first day at your school"
"Of course" Why is he helping me? After what I just did to him, I don't know how he could. "We'll get you cleaned up first" He looks at my paws and my eyes. I don't want to speak so all I do is nod.
Shadow's POV:
We finally get out of the ARK and I lead her to my other home. The ARK may still be my home but I think it's time to leave that place.
We walk the rest of the way in silence until a blue hedgehog zooms right in front of us. It's Sonic. What does he want? "Sup faker?" I groan "Not now sonic!"
"Awww what's the matter? Am I interrupting your date?" God sakes! And he wonders why I hate his so much! "L-leave me a-alone..." Luna speaks up "Hey kitty I meant no harm, it's just unusual to see shadow with a lovely girl like you" Luna shakes her head and her ears flop down "I'm not lovely... I'm from the ARK" Sonic's eyes widen "The mental hospital?" Luna nods "I'm taking her to my place to help her out ok? So leave her be. She's starting at our school today and it would be best if you didn't freak her out"
"Ok, ok I'm sorry... I'll see you at school kitty" Sonic zooms off ahead of us "I'm sorry about that..."
"It's ok... He didn't know"
We get to my place and she looks rather shy, well I guess I shouldn't expect her not to be, after what just happened "make yourself at home, you can do whatever"
"D-do you mind if I could take a shower?"
"Go ahead" She smiles slightly and takes her coffin shaped bag with her to my shower. Just as I hear the shower door shut "Knock knock!"
"It's open!" a bat wipes her feet on the door mat and stumbles into the kitchen "Why do you wear those?" I gesture at her high heels "Because I can" She folds her arms and I smirk at her reaction.
Rouge's POV:
I jokingly start speaking to my friend "How dare you question my fabulous shoes!" He laughs. I love being able to make him laugh, he's nor really the laughing type so I feel kind of honoured to be able to do that. I just realize that his shower is running "What's the shower on for?"
