A/N
Alright, it's explanation time. I was working on Sonic School days and I wanted to write a few chapters so I could post them easier...and my computer crashed. A lot of stuff was wiped from my hard drive, including the story. So I kinda gave up on the story...but that doesn't mean that I am done with it for good. I just don't want to deal with it right now, I'll get to it when I can.
So, to make up for the almost four months that I have been away, I am posting the prologue for my next project... Betrayed: part II. I don't think I need to explain much about it, other than it is the sequel to Betrayed.
So, here we go!
It was a bitter cold winters night in New Mobotropolis. The stars sparkled in the night sky above the town park. The park was illuminated by the lamps placed along the hiking trails that made up the area.
A young couple jogged through the park, hands intertwined in each others. They wore heavy jackets and hoods covered their heads to protect them from the chilly air. The two had been running for about an hour, and they decided to find a place to rest.
There was a small clearing in the wooded area that surrounded the hiking trail they were on. They took the opportunity and sat down there. The boyfriend, a gray and black dog, laid down on his back and looked up at the pitch black sky. His girlfriend, a blackish brown cat, laid down next to him and rested her head on his chest. The couple stared at each other and smiled.
"Ya know," The girlfriend started, a hint of seduction in her voice, "there's nobody around..." She put her hand on his chest and began to walk her fingers up and down his body.
"I like the way you think." he responded as he rolled over, placing her underneath him. He began to kiss up her neck, causing a small moan to escape from her lips. She kissed him back and the young lovers embraced each other.
But before they could continue any further, a rustling came from the bushes off to their left. The girlfriend, who was now on top of her boyfriend, shot up from kissing him to look around.
"What was that?" she asked in a worried tone. The last thing she wanted was someone walking in on him and her.
"It's nothing..." He said, trying to convince her. But she was still worried, the boy sighed and pushed her off of him. "fine...I'll go have a look around."
He pulled out a mini flashlight and headed toward the bushes. The girl sat and waited for him to come back with a "there was nothing there" or "It was just a bird". After a solid five minutes of waiting, he hadn't come back. She stood up and headed towards the bushes where the boyfriend had departed. She looked in the bushes to find nothing...not even her boyfriend.
She was starting to get irritated "I swear if you sneak up on me, we're through!" Then she tripped and fell over a small object. A closer look revealed it to be the flashlight. Now, she got scared. As she tried to get up she felt her foot touch something.
Using the light, she saw that it was a head.
A severed head.
Her boyfriend's severed head.
All she could do was scream as she turned around to run, only to run into her boyfriend's headless corpse hanging from the trees by it's leg. An even bigger scream came, and she ran from the area back on to the hiking trail.
She was hoping that she could make it to the authorities or even King Sonic, who's castle was closer. She decided to try the authorities first. She ran with tears streaming down her face, it became harder and harder to see where she was going. There was so much tears that she failed to notice the person standing in front of her.
The female cat crashed into the person and hit the ground hard. She rolled over to see who she knocked into, maybe that person could help her.
The person was a little shorter than her, a cloak covered the figures face from view. The girl, got on her knees and begged for help.
"Pl...please...h...h...help. My...boyf...friend and I...were...and...he...and...I..." Her words were getting harder to understand. The figure said nothing, but putting a hand on her shoulder, she reassured her. "do...y...you think...you can...help...m...me?"
The figure shook her head, no. The girl became confused, until she saw the bloody hatchet in the figures hand. When she pieced it together, she ran away.
"HELP!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, but there was no one within a half mile that could hear her. She turned to see how far the figure was from her, but the was no one behind her. Thinking that she was in the clear, she stopped. As she stopped, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
Looking back ahead, the cloaked figure was standing in front of her. And the hatchet was embedded just below her navel. The girl collapsed to the ground and watched as the figure painfully removed the weapon, and aimed the weapon at her neck.
"Pl..please" she pleaded "You...don't have to..."
"Yes..." it responded, the voice was raspy, but familiar "I don't have to..."
The last thing that girl saw before the hatchet separated her head from her body was the face of her killer. She knew that face, but it was too late. In one clean swing, the girls head was now several feet away.
"...I want to."
The killer put the hatchet away and took out a paint brush-like object. Dipping it in the bodies blood, she began to write on the pathway next to the body.
That makes 6. Another will end up like this, unless you step down, your highness. :)
With the message written out, it dropped the object on the ground and exited the park for the cops to find. A sinister smile on the figures face as it pulled down the hood of it's face. It continued down the street to a small house a few minutes away.
A few blocks away, at the castle, King Sonic and his wife Queen Sally slept soundly in their bed. The blue hedgehog had his arm around the chipmunks waist, his hand resting on the round bump on her belly.
A smile stretched across their faces, in the year and a half that it had been since Shadow's betrayal, much had happened. Sonic and Sally got married. They were crowned king and queen. And they were expecting twins. To them all was well.
They couldn't be any more wrong.
Hope you guys like that
I tried to make this a bit more horrific than the last one. As you could tell this was a cliche horror story opening. A few horror films are referenced in this story, especially SAW.
So, I can't make any promises on the continuation of School days, but I will try to get back into it.
Until then, read and review...and please don't flame.
