The Blue Despair

[mydxspair]

[THE HEDGEHOG WOKE UP, FEELING SLIGHTLY AFRAID OF THE NEW AREA HE FOUND HIMSELF IN.] “Yes, I am fine, just a bit worried...” [SHADOW LET OUT A SOFT SIGH, HIS FACE LOOKING BRIGHTER AS HE TOOK HIS TIME TO ENDULGE IN HOW NICE IT FELT TO BE PET AGAIN. HE DEFINITELY APPRECIATED THE LOVE HE WAS BEING GIVEN.] “If I may ask... Where are we?” [HE GLANCED AT THE DARKLING ABOVE HIM, INNOCENCE CLEAR TO SEE IN HIS EYES. HE LACKED THE HORRIBLY DARK GLOOMINESS HE CONSTANTLY WORE BEFORE HIS SADDEST MEMORY WAS ERASED.]

The Blue Despair

[mydxspair]

[SHADOW MAY HAVE BEEN ASLEEP, BUT HE COULD STILL FEEL SOME SORT OF FORCE MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH HIS MIND. IT MADE HIM MILDLY UNCOMFORTABLE, HIS BODY WRITHING AS IF TRYING TO MAKE THE FEELING GO AWAY. MINUTE BY MINUTE, THE HEART SHATTERING MEMORIES BEGAN TO FADE AWAY FROM HIM. [NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HIS DESPAIR WAS SEEPING AWAH FROM HIM. WITHOUT THE REMINDERS THAT THE PERSON CLOSEST TO HIM WAS DEAD, HE HAD NO REASON TO FEEL SAD. ECLIPSE HAD TRULY SAVED THE HEDGEHOG FROM HIS MISERY.]

The Blue Despair

[mydxspair]

[HE SHIFTED A BIT IN HIS SLEEP, FEELING ODD THAT HE WAS BASICALLY SLEEPING ON AIR RATHER THAN THE FLOOR. THE WARM, RICH RAYS OF SUNLIGHT BEAMING DOWN ON HIS DARK FUR MINIMIZED HIS MOVEMENTS. IF HE WAS WARM, HE WAS CONTENT. HIS MIND STILL SWARMED, THE MEMORY OF MARIA GETTING KILLED SEEMING MORE OBVIOUS THAN BEFORE.] SHADOW HARDLY DREAMT WHEN HE WAS ASLEEP. INSTEAD, HE WENT THROUGH HIS MEMORIES AND RELIVED THEM EVERY DAY. THE DARKLING WAS GOING TO DO SO MUCH TO HELP HIM BY MERELY MAKING HIM FORGET ABOUT THE DARKEST HOUR HE HAD LIVED.]

The Blue Despair

[mydxspair]

[HE COULD BARELY THINK OF ANYTHING TO SAY, THE DROWSINESS INSTANTLY FALLING UPON HIM. HE LIKED HOW THEIR VOICE HELPED SOLTHE HIM. OH HOW MARIA USED TO HOLD HIM AND LULL HIM TO SLEEP. HE MISSED HER SO MUCH.] “Al...alright...”  [THAT WAS ALL HE COULD MUMBLE BEFORE SLEEP CONSUMED HIM, HIS BODY GOING COMPLETELY LIMP. HIS MIND WAS FREE TO EXPLORE AS FAR AS THE DARKLING WISHED TO. THE MEMORY AT THE FRONT LINE WAS THE ONE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. THE SOLDIER, THE GUN, THE HUMAN THAT WAS KILLED RIGHT BEFORE SHADOW’S EYES. IT WAS IMMENSELY PROMINENT COMPARED TO THE OTHER MUNDANE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED AFTER MARIA’S DEATH.]

“Putting myself through?” [THE DARKLING WASN'T FAR OFF FROM THE TRUTH ONCE AGAIN. HE WASN'T GOING TO RECOVER ANYTIME SOON IF HE FAILED TO ACCEPT THAT HIS MARIA WAS GONE. HIS CLOSEST FRIEND AND FAMILY, LOST FOREVER...HE SHOOK HIS HEAD, SEEMING JUST AS DOWNCAST AS HE WAS BEFORE ECLIPSE APPROACHED HIM.] “Wh-!”  [HE HADN'T BEEN HUGGED LIKE THAT EVER SINCE HE FELT MARIA’S LAST WARM EMBRACE. HE JUST BARELY WIDENED HIS EYES AT THEIR SUGGESTION. HE WONDERED IF THE ALIEN COULD ACTUALLY TAKE ALL OF HIS SORROW AWAY, AND WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN AFTER.] “How would you do it? Where would it all go after?”

The Blue Despair

[mydxspair]

[HIS FURRED EARS FLICKED TOWARDS THE DIRECTION OF THE NEW VOICE. WHILE HE HAD NO IDEA WHO THIS REPTILLIAN CREATURE WAS. THEY SEEMED...AWFULLY FAMILIAR. SHADOW FELT SOME SORT OF PECULIAR COMNECTION WITH THEM. HOW ELSE COULD THEY HAVE FELT HIS PRESENCE? HIS MISERABLE AURA CALMED FROM THEIR PROMISING WORDS, YET HE COULDN'T HELP HIMSELF FROM REACTING WITH SUCH PESSIMISM.] “...How do I know that you will not die? You may be able to save me, but what will I do if I cannot do the same for you?”

[HE GLANCED AT THEIR EXTENDED HAND LONGINGLY, BUT HE INSTEAD CHOSE TO LOOK FORWARD AND SIGH. THE LOSS OF MARIA WAS ALREADY TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO BEAR, EVEN AFTER FIFTY YEARS. HE DIDN'T WANT TO FEEL MORE PAIN, ESPECIALLY THE ONE CAUSED BY THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE. TRUTHFULLY, SHADOW WAS AFRAID OF MAKING FRIENDS FOR THAT EXACT REASON. THEIR EAGERNESS TO HELP HIM ONLY FUELED THAT HAUNTING FEELING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT GAVE HIM A SENSE OF HOPE THAT MAYBE HE COULD GO ALONG WITH MAKING A NEW FRIEND.]

He flinched at the sudden touch. Wasn’t he alone before? It was odd to see someone other than himself in the roofed forest. Shadow slowly turned his head to look at her, his blue eyes standing out against his red and black fur. He was sitting on his knees, hands now resting on his thighs.

“...W-who are you?” The hybrid gave a soft sniffle, still a bit shaken from thinking about his sister. He had never seen any other mobians, at least, not up close. All he ever truly saw was the lushness of the trees and the occasional woodland creature. “How did you get here?” He breathed, noticing that she had odd colors on her eyelids. He was utterly confused by the makeup she wore.

The hedgehog almost missed the sound of Arrow’s voice. Any attempts to force himself to relax resulted in him curling up even further into himself. He rolled closer, although he didnt seem to be affected by the blue one’s comfort.

Staring at his reflection in the water was one thing. Watching his tears gently make the water ripple was another. He was sniffling almost uncontrollably, although he was relaxing from an earlier tearful experience. He didn’t notice the presence behind him, for he was busy trying to focus on something that wasn’t blonde, human, or sisterly.

“Mmmake it s-stop...” His voice was barely above a whisper, his hands forcibly rubbing at the tears gushing down his cheeks. He sobbed so harshly, they eventually began to sound like coughs.  “Maria, I’m so s-s...” The woeful hybrid couldnt finish, only continuing to make a soft hissing sound as he curled up into a fetal position.
