Shadow The Hedgehog Maria Death Novels & Stories

"They’re what’s left of the people my Father killed. And they’ve been waiting for someone new to play with." One of the shadow-hounds lunged. It didn't bite Marcus’s leg; it sank into his skin like water, turning his thigh a bruised, necrotic purple. Marcus screamed—a high, thin sound that didn't belong to an Alpha. He collapsed to his knees. "Stop it!" The Alpha to Marcus’s left reached for his sword, but his own shadow rose up and wrapped around his throat, lifting him off the ground. "I didn't give you leave to move," Solomon whispered.

It wasn't even a choice. "Any last words?" he asked, his claws extending. Maria's smile faded. "You'll regret this. There are others. Others who want her dead. Killing me won't save her. Not really." "Maybe not," Lorenzo said. "But it's a start." He shifted partially, just enough to drive his claws through the bars and into her chest, piercing her heart. Maria gasped, blood bubbling from her lips. "Fool," she choked out. "You think... this ends... with me..."

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.

she sighed. "So what do you remember before waking up?" he rushed her. "A lot happened. It was like I was on a journey and there was a time. It was total darkness. To be honest with you, all I remembered was the darkness. The journey part, I can't recall" she shook her head slowly. "So how did you die?" Alpha Jones folded his arms. This is what would determine if she was really Maria. Maria hesitated and she eventually started breathing heavily. "I assure you, Jones. It's me. Maria. I am not a demon" she gasped.

The boat roared to life and began to move away from the shore. My eyes suddenly cast a glimpse of someone in the distance. My sight was not heightened anymore because I still couldn't connect with Sable. So I couldn't figure out who the male was apart from the fact that he was staring directly at me. I could sense the sharpness of his gaze even from a distance. Who was he? Before I could take a closer look the boat took a turn around the cliffs and the strange man disappeared. It was near the evening when we reached the nearest port of the city of Jorda. Father had said that Shadow headquarters was somewhere underground and on one of the islands. I just had to find it.

The wind was making her hair flying around as it slapped across her face. She was breathing hard when the wind was too strong for her to protect her face from the debris that was flying when the helicopter blades were buzzing her ears as Marina was closing her eyes. She did not know who was coming from the helicopter as her blood loss was making her dizzy right now. “We got you now. You will be safe,” the shadow said as Marina was closing her eyes. Then, all of sudden from the blood loss as well as the wind that was blaring her eyes, Marina could not keep her eyes open and the last thing she knew, she was claimed by the darkness.

**Selene’s POV** The blade bites deeper, a thin line of fire against my throat. Mara’s breath is hot and rancid in my ear, her voice a grotesque blend of her own and the Shadow’s. *“You should’ve died in the tomb, little light.”* I force my glow to stay steady, though my pulse thunders in my ears. “Mara—fight him! You’re stronger than this!” Her laugh is a broken thing. *“She’s gone. Only I remain.”*

Sweat trickles down my back, and suspicion fills my mind. “I don’t know. She was affected by it, she didn’t want to talk about it, because it was really…” “Mars, I’m pretty sure the moon goddess is the shadow god’s mother. I’ve read and researched about this a lot. Not just now, but before he even showed up here. I don’t know why whoever told you about it left out that part, but if you see them gain, ask who the mother is, or you can ask your mate himself.” He puts one hand on my shoulder. “I’m gonna go get the drinks from King and get one for myself. Stay put until I get back, don’t want you mistakenly falling into the river again.”

The wolf who had once looked at her with disgust, who had rejected her without hesitation. And now? His breath hitched, confusion flickering across his features as he stared at the woman before him—not a broken Omega, not an abandoned servant. But a Luna standing beside her Alpha. “Selene?” Killian murmured, voice hoarse. She met his gaze, unblinking, unwavering. “Did you think I died?” Killian swallowed hard. “You disappeared.” “No,” she corrected smoothly. “I evolved.” The Alpha of Bloodmoon—Damien—stood at the entrance of the pack’s estate, watching her with unreadable eyes.

The shadow pushed further through the opening. Now they could see part of it clearly. A massive shape. Not human. Not like them. Its surface shimmered like stone and metal mixed together. And its eye One huge glowing eye Opened. Maria froze. It looked down. At Earth. At them. Morrow screamed in pain as the shadow struck her with a wave of dark energy. She fell from the sky, crashing into a rooftop below. “Morrrrow!” Maria cried. Helios roared and launched himself upward in fury.
