Laying in a bed that is drenched in his own sweat, was black hedgehog, with red stripes on his quills, arms and legs, a massive knife slash on his left eye, golden inhibitor rings on his wrists, and ankles, a tan muzzle, and white chest fur. This is Shadow The Hedgehog.

"YOU BASTERD!!"

A flash of a blue hedgehog, with a deep bullet wound on his shoulder, a peach muzzle, underbelly, and arms, bright red spiral eyes, staring daggers at Shadow, as G.U.N Soldiers held him back, he is wearing a blood soaked black t-shirt his red jacket slipping off of his shoulders to show off the deep cuts that covered the hedgehog's arms black blood soaked baggy pants with red sneakers. This is Sonic The Hedgehog, the hedgehog that the Shadow locked away for a year and nine months, torturing victims as well as him...forcing the dark hedgehog to love him.

"Shadow...You know I'll Find you..."

Shadow shot awake to the sound of crying, a babies crying, he didn't have to get out of bed when his door opened and his flinched when seeing a huge black wolf...with a pair of red glowing eyes. Holding the sobbing hoglet by the scruffy of her neck, the hoglet was light blue with red stripes in her long messy quills, she is wearing a purple onesie, a pale peach muzzle, underbelly, and arms. This is Rouge Maria Hedgehog...Shadow named her after his wife that was brutally murdered in front of him. The wolf belonged to that psychopath of a hedgehog...but since he was raise like a dog since it was puppy, Shadow took it home...his name is Midnight.

"Thank you..." Shadow said to Midnight taking Rouge from it, the wolf only growled at Shadow...it didn't appreciate the betrayal the dark hedgehog did to his owner.

Rouge started squeaking, and whimpering as she starting to calm down in Shadow's arms, it's been a month since he escaped from that Psycho Hedgehog...Due to his mental state he wasn't able to go to jail...but was committed into an asylum.

With all the things that he saw, Shadow suffers from insomnia, he just had nightmares about the hedgehog coming back for him...torturing him...until he was either dead of broken.

But a part of him missed Sonic. He looks down at Rouge, the hoglet...wasn't something that he wanted, but was force to have, and now he was attached to her...she was kind of the reason why Shadow escaped, he didn't want her to become like her mother. He pressed his lips to her head, the hedgehog, had bright emerald eyes, that faded into a purple, she only purrs.

He lays back down on the bed, with Rouge laying on top of him, he looks over at his clock, it was only two am in the morning. He already knew he wasn't going to go back to sleep after that nightmare, he lets out a small sigh and just cuddles with his daughter for the rest of the night.
