Protecting-sonadow

Chapter 4

Shadow POV

I woke up and I was feeling horrible. I had the urge to throw up but I didn't have the energy to move any muscle in my entire body.

I was at the edge and I couldn't hold it back anymore. I threw up all over the bed. It lasted good 3minutes. I'm glad Sonic didn't hear me.

-Shadow?

I heard Sonic yell from his room.

-yeah?

-you okay buddy?

-yea-

I couldn't even finish the sentence when I threw up again.

In a matter of second, Sonic was besides me.

I stopped and he carried me ti the bathroom so I could finish there.

I stopped and sat down, leaning against the wall.

-hey, wash your face and I'll be right back

He told me and went out. He took everything off the bed and put it into the washing machine.

I cleaned my face but I was still, feeling dizzy.

He came to me and grabbed me just before I almost fell down.

He picked me up and placed me on the sink so I was looking at him.

-what's wrong, Shadow?

-I... Don't know...

-when did you get sick?

-two days ago I was feeling a little odd... But it went away... Well, till yesterday...

-what did you eat two days ago?

-nothing but... ICE CREAM! Me and Cream saw an ice cream truck and I ate it!

-did she eat it?

-no, just me

-what if the ice cream was poisoned?

-that means... Someone tried to poison Cream...

-why would someone do that...oh...

-what?

-Shadow... I... Didn't want to tell Cream this but... Vanilla died...

I was completely shocked.

-what?!

I whisper shouted.

-shhh, listen... That's why she wanted someone to watch over her... She went to the hospital and they diagnosed her with cancer... She died yesterday morning...

I looked down.

-how are we telling Cream this?

-no, that's not our concern right now... Or real concern is - who will take care of her?

-I can

-Shadow, you have G.U.N. mission... There needs to be someone besides you to take care of her when you're not here...

-I mean... Knuckles and Rouge love each other and they want to have kids but... Knuckles is still a guardian and Rouge is still an agent... Mephiles works with me and Silver is often with us...

-how are we gonna make this work?

He sighed in defeat.

He sat osn the closed toilet and looked at me. I than got an idea.

-what if... Nevermind..

He seemed curious in what I was about to say.

-what?

-d-doesn't matter... It wouldn't work out anyway...

-what is it about?

-I maybe know two people that are close to Cream and that can maybe take care of her... But the other doesn't really love the first one so...

-who do you have in mind?

I looked at him, a blush visible in my face.

He blushed in realization.

-y-you mean... Us?

I looked down.

-oke more questions...

I looked at him.

-what?

-by "the other doesn't love the first one" did you mean you don't love me or you think I don't love you?

-the... Second one...

I was still looking down.

A tear slipped down my cheeks as I felt two warm hands wrap around me, my knees close to my chest.

-Shadow... I love you more than anything..

My eyes widened.

-y-you mean that

-no.. I mean, I love you more than anything or anyone!

I hugged him back.

-I love you too...

We were hugging for a couple of minutes.

-s-so..

I broke the hug.

-how are we going to find who wanted to poison Cream?

-how did the truck look like?

-um, it had some giant letters on the side.. I only read "SCR"...

-okay, that's a clue... We can go, around the town and maybe oyu, recognize it?

-um, sure..

-Mr. Sonic?

-I think we have some.... Explaining to do...

I looked at him and got down from the sink.

-I'll do it...
