Shadow The Hedgehog In The Rain Novels & Stories

‌##‍ Cha‌pter 11‌3: Th​e Ret‍urn of the Shadow The rain in New York didn't fall; it seemed to ha​ng in the air, a thi‍ck, freezing mist th‍a‌t blurre‍d‌ the haloge‌n li‌ghts of Jo​hn F​. Ke‍nnedy International A⁠irport.

I recalled as I transformed into my beast form before grabbing it and running towards the east tower where the lanterns were. Hikaru's shadow shrieks when it realizes what I was doing and dashes towards me. Hikaru immediately cuts through the shadow being cutting, it into many pieces as fast as he could. Buying me time to grab a lantern and dropping the mushroom on top of the burning candle. The shadow figure shrieks as it burst into flames while the mushroom slowly catches on fire. The shadow creature crawls towards me lighting the ground on fire but it disappears into the flames long before it got to me. I sigh in relief as the Hikaru stomps out the flames.

“Shadowland has creatures in it. Both human like and black, gooey zombies.” Rain, my Knight and a powerful demon in her own right, gave me an unimpressed look as she adjusted a pin in my hair. She was a bit of a perfectionist and couldn’t stand when things were out of place. If she were human, I’d say she had severe OCD. I guess I could still say it even though she was a demon.

A group of 'Hooded' stood nearby. “They are pesky little things.” the little girl appeared again. “You are being trailed by Dremis; he can only find you if you dream of them. You are safe where you are now, but the magic must be strengthened I am sending aid to you. Accept her, or accept your defeat now, child.” she said looking up to Abey.

I have to transform into my wolf to find them fast! ‘Cruz,’ I called in my head. ‘Cruz… Where the hell are you?’ My gray wolf, Cruz, was missing. I could only hear the brown wolf with the spirit stone on his head chuckle as if to mock me. ‘Why don’t we join hands now? Aren’t you even remotely interested to learn what kind of powers you have, Shadow prince?’ I hated the fiery look in his eyes. He was a reminder that the things I heard earlier were true…

But between them and the cave, something was waiting. It wasn’t a trap or a monster. It was two figures standing side by side but they didn’t look like people. They were made of light and shadow, shifting and changing, like reflections in rippling water. One glowed bright, almost too much to look at, wearing robes that seemed made of sunlight. The other was darker, its form made of deep gray and black, its face hidden in shadow. “More mirrors,” Elara said softly. The figures spoke in one voice, echoing from everywhere at once:

The tiny flame trembled between her fingers. "I turned on the gas before you got here," she whispered, almost giddy. "So, Mallory... how about you stay my punching bag in the next life, too?" Her smile widened, and I felt my head droop. The room started to blur. Suddenly, flames erupted before my eyes. I smashed the coffee cup against the floor and grabbed a broken shard, dragging it across my thigh hard enough for the pain to cut through the fog. I was bleeding badly, but I still managed to shove Irene away and limp toward the door.

he whispers, and before I can speak, we’re charging toward the front door. The rain crashes down, drumming against the roof and windows, the sound echoing like war drums. Outside, the darkness is thicker than ever—and the storm isn’t just rain. It’s war breaking loose on every front. Screams, shadows flitting through the trees, it all merges into a symphony of chaos that steals the breath from my lungs. But Shadow is by my side, and that’s all that matters.

Shadow told me his name was Cain, and I should never make eye contact with him unless I had a death wish and a signed will. Then there were the groups the ones that ran in packs like wolves, They laughed too loud and Hit too hard but also Moved in unison. Shadow leaned next to me at some point and pointed them out one by one. “Those are the Hounds,” he muttered. “They backstab for fun.”... I just nodded then my gaze moved to ... I don't know the dude looks short. “And that little dude?” “Don’t be fooled,” Shadow said. “He once ripped a guy’s ear off with his teeth. He’s sixteen.”

I turn to follow him so I can eat, but before I can I send a glare towards the machine. "Ha, you got cock-blocked by a machine," Shadow says in my head "Shut up, don't act like you're not upset that we were interrupted either" I reply to him and shut off our link when I hear him huff knowing that he agrees with what I said. I smile at the rain when I sit down and grab a fork and start to eat. "So?" Rain asks, leaning on his hand that is resting on the island.
