The Man Out Of Time [A ShadAmy and Silver Story]

Chapter 5

-Silver-

With every second I stay in this timeline, the more I want every aspect of my life to remain this way. At least in this timeline, everyone seems happy, and all the people I lost in the past are living their best life here.

We were back at Amy's house after the whole episode with Shadow. It was a very intense and horrific situation, especially for me. Not only was it hard for me to watch someone else go through pain, it was even worse to be able to feel what that person was feeling. I can practically sense my power inside me grow stronger with the passing of the days. Recently, I've been able to see glimpses of the things people are feeling and thinking inside their minds. That's how I was able to track down Shadow in the first place. He was hurting so much, remembering parts of the past must have been arduous for him to even comprehend. This ability I had allowed me to feel one's feelings as my own, but I couldn't last more than six or seven seconds in Shadow's head without feeling weak. I wish I could console him in a way, but I knew with his enormous ego in the way he would never let anyone comfort him. Well, anyone but Amy. He had a soft spot for her. From what I was able to gather, he'd known her for years, and when he betrayed his 'Master' or something, he was able to find a unique friendship with her. Although I didn't know why. When I talked to Amy about him, she would stumble her words, not even able to say his name without stuttering. I don't understand if both of them have this love for each other why they don't just get together already!

I sighed to myself, all this thinking about relationships that are not even mine was giving me a headache. 

'Grown-ups are so complicated!' I almost whispered to myself. I was currently on Amy's couch, cuddled up in fluffy peach blankets with rose and cherry patterns on it. 'What is it with this timeline and fruit?'

As I laid there trying to get sleep, I heard soft footsteps in my direction. Before they can get any closer, I jolted up to see who it was. To my surprise, it was Amy. 

"Did I wake you?" I sighed in relief and gave her a smile. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to! I came down to check if you were okay. Shadow just fell asleep a little while ago, and well, I was worried about how you were holding up here." I could feel the feeling of love and anxiety inside her. Something terrible was defiantly on her mind. I looked at her, motioning with my hand for her to go on. "I know today has been hard. You must be going through so much."

"No, I couldn't sleep anyway. I'm okay, thanks for caring so much." I chuckled to myself because I knew exactly what was on her mind; Well, kind of. My power is still minimal, and I can't yet control it all that well. "What's on your mind?"

"I, well, I have many things on my mind. About the future. Mostly about the part where you said I was the only one who can defeat these people. I know you said I had some hidden power, but I don't feel anything. How are you so sure that I could save the future? How am I supposed to save the lives of millions if I can't even tell the guy that I like that I love him!" 

From her stammering, she let the faithful words 'I love You' escape from her lips. I felt my eyes light up in happiness, yet her facial expression told a different story.

"I knew there was something between you!" I bit back a laugh since what I said wasn't entirely true, but it wasn't a lie either, of course, I knew about the love between them long before I met these two. All that information was in the journal I read. I smiled to myself as she smacked her hands over her face, trying to hide the crimson red blush from spreading among her cheeks. "That's really sweet!"

 "Look, forget that last part!" Her voice was high-pitched like she was trying to be angry but came off as embarrassed instead. "Just answer the other question okay!"
