The Awakening

😔😱😪😆😝😭😂

Shadow ran. He after bolting out the door he ran away as fast as he could, as far as he could, for as long as he could. He didn't run immediately to the safety of the house because if Scourge followed him, then he'd know Shadow was there. Instead he ran somewhere else. He ran to the woods. He ran around. He stopped and looked around, feeling someone watching him. He continued to then around as he felt like he heard someone whispering and saw someone run by. Seeing green, he backed away slowly, cautioned. He lost his footing when he ran out of ground and tumbled backwards on a hill. His vision went dark when he landed. His ears flickered, trying to hear anything but all they caught were the sounds of nature. Shadow picked his head up to see the 'Love Flowers'. 'Are they going to be everywhere?' Shadow thought to himself as he got up. Suddenly he got a idea. He grabbed handfuls of them and rubbed then against himself, on his arms and legs. He knew this would mask the smell he had in him. Only Sonic would recognize the scent. But now he had to wash up. Where could he go? He couldn't go back home like that. So Shadow wandered around until he found a river that lead to a waterfall and not far from it was a lake. He took his chances with the waterfall.
After rinsing, Shadow carefully made his way back to the house. When successfully in, he looked around the place but failed to find anything. "Sonic?" Shadow called as be realized that he wasn't being followed. "Shadow?" A voice called but it just caused the dark hedgehog to hide in the shadows. (I don't know where so you can decide.) Shadow peeked out of his hiding place to see someone close the door and heading outside. "Shadow?!"
Shadow recognized the voice as his partner. "Sonic!" Shadow yelled as he ran outside. He let out a yelp when he ran right into someone. He rubbed his head with his eyes shut tight. "Shadow!" Someone hugged him into a bear hug. "I couldn't find you after you ran off!" Shadow opened his eyes to see Scourge still. His eyes went large. "Scourge?" Shadow asked. "Shadow! How do you see Scourge?" The other asked. "You sound and act like Sonic but you look like Scourge. I'm so confused and my head hurts." Shadow said as he cringed from a sudden wave of pain. 'Scourge' suddenly thrusted his lips onto Shadows own.
He didn't know if possibly but Shadows eyes went larger as his pupils shrunk even more. Shadow finally blinked as the hedgehog kissing him changed. The jacket slowly fade as his fur and eyes became teal before his first turned blue and his eyes green. Shadow pulled away as he was greatly shocked. "Sonic?" Shadow asked. Nodding, Sonic continued to hug Shadow. "So you were Sonic the whole time? But what about the other ones? The ones behind the wall? The one I was kicking?" Shadow asked. "The ones behind the wall were recording you, a film crew. And the one on the ground was a dummy, a robot." Sonic answered. "But....it seemed so real." Shadow said as he stood up. "Shadow its ok. There's nothing to worry about. Come on, let's go inside." Sonic insisted as Shadow had his back to Sonic. "Hold on Sonic. I just need to check on something." Shadow said as he raced inside and found a green Chaos Emerald he had found a few week ago and hid there. "Chaos Control." Shadow said as Sonic ran back inside. "Damn." Sonic commented before sitting down on the couch.
Shadow appeared in the room he had been in a while ago. He looked around to see a robot on the ground with dents and holes all over it, oil leaked out of the wounds and onto the ground. Shadow saw that it wasn't all concrete, like he had thought, one of the walls were Styrofoam. He investigated where he had seen the gang of Scourges. He only saw shapes in the grass of footprints ranging from different length and with, also accompanied by other strange shapes. "But...." Shadow said as he realized he must've been hallucinating. He clenched the Emerald in his hand in a daze like way before whispering two words.
He was gone in a green flash.
