"AH! W-what do you want from me...?!" I shouted and shouted in pain when I hit the ground then growled when he stepped on my chest.

"You are not from here." He growled lowly and glared at me. "You're not Sonic." He continued with his voice filled with hatred. "Who are you? And how did you end up here?"

I tried to call Tails on the communica but Shadow immediately chaos speared my wrist to destroy it. I hissed loudly and pinned my ears down then tried to kick him off. He knew too much already and if he found out that he could travel to different dimensions he could spread chaos everywhere.

"I'm not telling you shit! Now let me go!" I grabbed his leg and tried to push it away but this only made him put more pressure on me. I kept trying and moving until Shadow suddenly summoned a chaos spear and put it right between my eyes, close to my skin as I felt my fur burning from the energy that was charged up in it.

"You are either telling me or I'm ending your life!" He shouted at me, getting impatient. "If there's two of you, then that means that there's two of me somewhere. And when I find him, we'll destroy you and your disgusting little friends!"

I froze and pinned my ears down, I couldn't breathe well and my body was beginning to feel numb. "I-I... Am not telling you." I said as loud as I could and grabbed Shadow's wrist then pushed it away from my face. "You think I'll let down my friends that easily?" I smirked at him. "Y-you don't scare me, Shadz... And you never will." I teased him to make him pay more attention to what I'm saying than what I'm doing.

"You're pushing my limits, Faker! Tell me how you came here right NOW!" His ear twitched a couple of times and his growl got louder, adding pressure to his hand so I wouldn't move. "I'm fine care if you die, I don't give a fuck about your friends. All I care about is the reason as to why you are right here, in front of me."

I jut rolled my eyes and shook my head. "You're not getting a word out of me, and you know it." I chuckled and kicked his leg that was on the ground to make him lose his balance and quickly rolled to the side so he wouldn't have balance on his leg that was pressing on my chest either. Shadow gasped and put his hands on the ground to hold himself up, as I expected, and was about to get up but I grabbed his wrists and pinned them behind his back, then knelt on the side of his legs so he wouldn't kick me.

"Let me go, Faker!" He shouted in fury and tried to free himself but it was pointless, I wasn't going to let him go that easily.

"Stop shouting, Shad. Just promise you won't hurt me and my friends and I'll let you go." I teased him and called Tails on my communicaoter as Shadow's muzzle turned red from how oissed off he was getting.

This whole thing was hurting me but I also knew that this wasn't the Shadow I fell in love with.

"Sonic? Don't tell me that-" Tails immediately answered and gasped when he heard Shadow growling. "Already?! I told you to stay away from him!"

"Yeah yeah. Just tell me what to do, I have him pinned down. For now."

"Just stay there, I'll be there in a few."

"Have you fiund anything?" I asked as i walked in the room with a few polates of food that I made.

Hours had passed and still Miles and Rouge were looking for any information that could help us get Sonic back, but we've found absolutely nothing.

And to make things worse, Faker hasn't stopped staring at me. I don't get what his problem is, but it's really pissing me off and making me feel closer to snapping. I had enough of this whole thing.

Sonic's ignorance brought us to this place. If he wasn't so stubborn and actually listened to me, we would be able to spend some time together.

I even got a few days off work for him! He doesn't understand how difficult is to di this, I don't know when I'll be able to get any days off again, I don't know if I'll even be able to take any more days off this year.

I've never felt so triggered in my life, this hatred can't even be described. Sonic could be dead for all we know!

All of this because he didn't listen to me!

Why, Sonic?!

"Shadow, come look at this." Rouge called me and saved from my thoughts. I looked at her and quietly walked to her as I felt Faker's eyes burning my fur.

"What?" I raised a brow and looked at Rouge's screen then saw a picture of the portal, making me feel the slightest bit of hope. "You found it?"

"Yes. I found what was able to get stolen from Tails' computer." She nodded and let Tails look as well.

I was about to ask how long it'll take for them to fix the portal but froze when I felt Faker touch my back and his breath on my neck.

"Nice! How close are you to getting me back home?" He asked, too loudly for my liking. that was just enough to push me over the edge and pushed away roughly.

"What the hell Faker?!" I growled loudly and looked at him when he dropped on the floor. "Are you out of your mind?!"

"Hey!" I heard the echidna walk in the room. As if I needed him to piss me off even more now. "Stop it!"

"Leave, Knuckles." I glared at him and looked back at Faker that coughed, he probably got the air knocked out of his lungs, I don't care.

"Hey... Shadz... Chill out..." He said between his coughs and slowly stood up. He said thhe nickname exactly like Sonic...

He's doing this on purpose...

Everyone is doing this on purpose...

They just want to see me suffer...

I bet they find it funny...

I'll show them! I'll show them all!

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT NICKNAME AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME?!" I shouted at him and charged a chaos spear in my hand, I was so mad, so hurt, so worried, I just wanted to snap.

"Shadow! Don't-" Rouge stood up and reached for my wrist but stopped talking and gasped when I got punched by Knuckles and hit the wall from the strength of the punch.

I dropped on the floor and looked down, staring at nothing as I stopped doing everything, I was only breathing heavily, trying to hold back the emotions that were building up.

"Shadow! What in Chaos' name were you thinking?!"

I heard Rouge talk but I just ignored her. Slowly the rage I felt turned into sadness, I felt empty and broken inside...

No one understands the pain, they don't get it. I've suffered years and years mourning over Maria's death, I tried destroying all of my so-called friends when I was woken up.

I had so many open wounds, it's been always so easy to make me weak just saying her name or bringing up that event at the Ark, no one thought I could feel emotions, no one thought that I was able to get tired, make mistakes. No one cared, actaully.

No one but Sonic... Or that's what he wanted me to think.

At the start, when we started dating, he was so patient and listened to me when I talked to him about my problems, my thoughts and how much I appreciated him and everything he had doen for me. But I slowly realized that Sonic didn't tell me anything about himself, and that since last week he was slowly getting impatient, not paying attention to many things I said, forgetting most of it.

I found out that Sonic was a Prince from Rouge, he never told me about such thing, not even bring up the royal family at all. I didn't know what to think of it, I even waited a few days to see if he'll tell me, but he said nothing...

"Shadow!" Rouge shouted again making me look at her as I fought back the tears and the knot on my throat.

I was emotionally exhausted and wanted to go home, sleep, and never wake up again. At least in my dreams I'll be able to see Maria...

"You're acting like a kid! Sonic didn't do anything to you!" She crossed her arms and growled lowly, but I couldn't care less. "Just leave, if you're going to attack everyone." She pointed at the door. "And don't come back until we tell you, because we really don't need you trying to kill Sonic. It's not even his fault this whole thing happened!"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head then chaoos controlled to my house, not even bothering looking at the others in the room, I knew they thought that I was pathetic, that I was depentend on Sonic and that I'm a maniac without him.

They are right on one, that I'm pathetic.

I growled lowly and walked to my room as my vision became blurry from the tears and I started sobbing. I laid down and hugged my pillow, hiding my face in it.

Of course and I didn't let myself cry yet, I tried to hold back as long as I could.

I stayed up for long and painful hours, still fighting back my emotions but by the time I managed to stop the tears from rolling down my face to the pillow, the sun was already setting and the bids were singing.

I was sobbing and shivering from the pain I felt, so many memories and bad thoughts were circling in my mind, and I couldn't escape them...

It turned so bad that the thought of passing away wasn't so bad after all...
