Alike and Different

Shadow and Silver were still fighting. “Chaos control!” Shadow took down silver. “I need to change the past and save the world,” said Silver standing up. “Mephiles doesn’t want to make a better future,” said Shadow. “He just wants to take out the past.” “You’re lying,” said Silver. “Your husband died at your wedding didn’t he?” Shadow asked. “Yes why?” Silver asked. “So did mine,” said Shadow. “That’s why my daughter never knew her father.”

It’s a flashback. Shadow was getting married to mr Hendrix. He wore a white dress with lace and slightly puffed long sleeves. His husband Mr Hendrix the cat wore a black suit with straight black hair and blue eyes. “Do you take this hedgehog to be your wife?” asked the judge. “Obviously,” said Mr Hendrix. “And do you take him as your husband?” asked the judge. “I’ll do anything,” said Shadow. “Then I now pronounce you cat and wife,” Shadow kissed Mr Hendrix. Someone shot Mr Hendrix. Shadow kneeled to the floor. “Don’t worry about me Shadow,” he said. “You can move on.” “Mr Hendrix..” said Shadow. “I’m pregnant. You’re going to be a father.” Shadow rubbed his baby bump that his dress covered. Mr Hendrix closed his eyes dying.

Shadow woke up from his dream. “Mother,” his teenage daughter Charlotte said. “Are you alright?” “Yes darling,” he answered. “It was that dream again.” “About your best friend?” Charlotte asked again. “About your father,” said Shadow. “I wish I could have known him,” she said. “Out of my best friend and your father, you were my favorite part of my life,” Shadow said. He kissed her forehead with warm lips.

Shadow was outside. He saw a man that looked exactly like him but with cooler colors. “How do we look exactly alike?” Shadow asked. They paused looking at each other. “You’re asking the wrong questions,” said Mephiles. He tortured Shadow. Someone shot Mephiles. It was Vivien Catrine. “She picked up Shadow and brought him to her apartment with her sister Olivia. “My lord..” he said as she picked him up. “Don’t worry,” said Vivien. “You have to rest.”

Shadow woke up. Vivien was next to him. “Are you alright?” she asked. “Yes,” he answered. “Don’t worry.” Shadow’s daughter came to him and hugged him. “My darling,” he said. “What are you doing here?” “I came to check on you mother,” Charlotte answered. “You were always my favorite part of my life,” said Shadow. “I don’t know who I’d be without you my darling.” “I love you too mother,” said Charlotte. She kissed his cheek. “I may have not known my father, but I least I know you.” Shadow smiled and kissed her forehead. “Before your father died, I told him I was pregnant with his daughter. That was you. When you were born I loved every minute of it. I was never happier in my life. And you my darling are one of the only reasons I was happy again.”
