Illusions (Sonadow)

Chapter 12

Sonic's P.O.V.
I looked out the window as I cried. No one would tell me what happened to Shadow. Not even Rouge or Tails told me anything. I was sitting in the hospital bed trying to stop thinking about him and more about what he said.

Was it really an illusion? I couldn't stop thinking about that. If it was then is what is going on right now really true? How can I be sure that this is real?

He repeated that it was an illusion and that he never said such things a few times. Should I trust him?

No... For all I know he may be trying to use me again...

"Sonic..." Tails called out my name as he walked in the room.

I was about to turn and face him when I saw someone smirking at me from the shadows. My ears perked up at that and I looked closer trying to figure out who it was, just then I saw those ruby red eyes I fell for and my ears dropped realizing it was Shadow pointing a gun at my direction. He pulled the trigger but I quickly moved out the way just in time.

Thankfully Tails was just a few steps to the side from where the bullet hit. I heard yelling outside and I looked at Tails panting.

"Who was that?!" He quickly yelled. I completely ignored my pain and I stood up. I unplugged myself and dashed to where they kept Shadow.

"You can't be here!" A doctor tried to push me away. There. He was laying in the bed. Barely breathing but he was there.

"Shadow..."

Was it true...?

Was it an illusion...?

Then... Who is the real one...? Who am I supposed to trust...?

Doctors quickly grabbed me and sent me back to my room. This time they tied my legs down. Good decision for the doctors, but it was also bad. What if the other Shadow came and tried to kill me. He already knew where I was.

Where is he...? Where is the one I fell for?

Was he even real..?

"Sonic, don't worry. Everything will be okay. We will stay here to make sure nothing happens to you." Tails touched my arm but I flinched.

Wait, he touched me. Is it real then? Is he real? I growled at him to get him away from me. I didn't trust him. I couldnt trust anyone.

"Untie me." I said to him. Coldly. I didn't know if he was really Tails.

"I can't do that." He said gently as he lowered his ears clearly afraid of me.

"Tails, remember that day..." I started talking. "when I told you to help me keep Amy away from me and you shoved me into your fridge because it was the closest hideout and knowing Amy was on a diet so she wouldn't look there? Remember how I got sick after that day and Amy came back with her hammer because I hid from her and beat me up even though I was sick?" I said and smirked slightly waiting for his response.

"Uh, no. It was Shadow chasing after you, you had just told him how you felt about him and you THOUGHT he was going to beat you up so you ran away. I hid you in the fridge because we both knew he would think you wouldn't be as dumb to hide there. The next day he came in looking for you again and instead of beating you up, I am 100% sure you two were making out until you told him why you were sick and he got mad at you for being so stupid." Tails said and my ears perked up and smiled slightly.

"Tails!" I yelled and he tensed up at that. "Chaos, I dont even know what is going on!" I said and he raised a brow.

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

"I think what that Shadow said was true." I responded.

"THAT Shadow?" He emphazised clearly being even more confused and concerned. "What's going on? What are you talking about? Sonic, I think you need some rest." I shook my head and tried to sit up but my legs were tied down and I groaned.

"About the illusions he was talking about. I think he was saying the truth. The one that tried to shot me earlier. It was Shadow, but Shadow is in the other room." I explained. "I'm not sure... I don't know what to do..." I rubbed my face.

Narrator's P.O.V.
"They are figuring out our plan. What do we do now?" The fox looked up at the other as he growled lowly knowing their plan was falling apart.

"I think it is time we get rid of one of them." Eggman smirked as he looked at his screens. The fox nodded and walked away, ready to do what he was asked for.
