Chapter 2
The next day came and Amy was well rested and ready for school. Though she detested the fact of a learning facility having teenagers of all kinds do things either publicly or privately. But, she pulled herself out of bed and took a shower. She bathed in bubbles and a sweet aroma of lavender. Just then a light bulb went off in her head, and she thought of something nice to do for Shadow. She rushed her shower and ran back into her room to put on her school uniform. She ran downstairs in her blue school skirt and white blouse. She went into the kitchen and started cooking with furry.
Amy: Finally, done!
Amy marveled at her finally done box lunch. Ok, so maybe she was little obsessed with Japanese style things but they worked for her and they were convenient enough for her. Her box lunch was picture perfect with its star shaped watermelons and sauteed vegetables and rice and her very own specialty; bacon and cheese rolled omelet! She packed it in the small box and wrapped it up with a black and red striped scarf. She also made another lunch for herself and Cream. She put everything in her school bag and opened the door to find Shadow and Cream standing there, well...Cream was actually still asleep and Shadow gave her a piggy back ride to Amy's house.
...Whisper...
Amy: Shadow, what're you doing here?!
Shadow: I came to see if you wanted somebody to walk you to school since you got a long way to go and Cream lives not too far from me and I'm watching out for her so that Scourge can't go nowhere near her.
Amy: I thank you for being considerate but you didn't have to do this.
Shadow looked at her with soft eyes that could make a child stop crying. She could feel the blush starting to creep to the sides of her face but she surprised it hoping that he wouldn't notice.
Shadow: You ready?
She looked up at him to see the softness evade his face yet again, she could live with that. She smiled and closed the door behind her, locking it. Amy, Shadow and a slumbering Cream were headed to school where a huge crowd had already gathered.
...
Sally sat in her onyx convertible smoking and putting on lip gloss, she spy's out of the corner of her overly mascaraed eyes that Amy and Shadow are walking to school together. She also noticed that he had Cream on his back and that she had bruises from her thighs and up. 'What did those two do to her!? Could it be possible that Amy and Shadow ganged up on Cream and raped her?!' Sally thought that Amy was nothing but a goody two-shoes but seeing this was not normal. Shadow looked behind him to see that Cream was starting to wake up. He let her down on the coble stone wall.
Shadow: Have a nice three hour nap Cream?
Cream yawned and stretched her arms out to the sky, she had tears in the corner of her eyes and she rubbed them contently.
Amy: Shadow told me that you tagged along with him to walk me to school?
Cream looked at Amy seeing her smile she nodded.
Cream: I walked to Shadows' house because I was going to ask him if he wanted to go to your place and walk to school together but I guess I fell asleep when I got to his house.
The school bell rang its' chime three times signaling that the young teenagers that it was time to learn. Shadow, Amy and Cream went their separate ways, Amy and Cream went to Biology and Shadow went to AP Geometry. Sally had the same class as Shadow, shocker. She sat in the back next to his usual seat which was incased in nothing but darkness and gloom. Shadow walked in and found that Sally was staring at him seductively licking her lips and twirling her curls around her fingers. He grew angry and annoyed knowing that she was planning something. He went to his seat and sat down dropping his things to the floor.
Sally: Hi Shadow.
Shadow: Sally.
Really not a good thing to ruing his morning after it was going so well.
Sally: Can I ask you something Shadow?
Shadow: Whatever.
Sally: Do you and Amy have a thing for Cream?
Shadow shot his head towards Sally seeing that her seductiveness has changed into a full blow seriousness which was kind of scary.
Shadow: What makes you think that?
Sally: Considering the fact that you walked Cream off into the distance of the opposite direction of both your houses, you both live a couple of blocks away from each other.
'For somebody who uses only half her mind she sure is observant.' thought Shadow as he started to show interest in this conversation even if it was interrogating.
Sally: And I noticed that when you three got here that Cream had bruises from her thighs to her face. Are you and Amy forcing her to have sex with you guys?
She inched closer trying to intimidate Shadow, but it wasn't working. Shadow saw the teacher walk in and turned his attention to him. Sally saw that he was ignoring her. She jumped out of the desk and slammed her fist down on the glossy wood.
Sally: LISTEN TO ME! I WILL FIND OUT WHAT THE BOTH OF YOU ARE HIDING-
Mr. Bright: Miss Acorn! It will do nicely if you keep your ass in a seat up front like you're supposed to instead of harassing Shadow, unless you want to share your conversation aloud with the class?
This is the kind of school where teachers can actually cuss at their students just as long as they don't do it intentionally to hurt their feelings. Sally had her chance and glanced over at Shadow. He wasn't paying any attention and looked as though he were asleep. Which he was.
Sally: Why not, it's not gonna kill anybody. Amy and Shadow gang raped Cream yesterday!
Mr. Bright dropped his chalk and everybody in the classroom looked back at the now slumbering teenager Shadow. Indeed he was out like a light, snoring lightly too. Mr. Bright walked to the back of the room keeping his gaze on Shadow. Shadow was asleep but he did feel an angry presence hovering above him.
Mr. Bright: Shadow, to the principal's office, now.
Shadow looked up at the teacher and was shocked to see that he was raging furious.
Shadow: Did I do something wrong?
Mr. Bright: No, j-just go to the principal's office please.
More of a command than a question but he was reluctant and went anyway. He got up and gathered his things and walked out the room. He sat outside the principal's office waiting for whatever punishment he was supposed be given for whatever thing it was that he did. All he remembers was listening to Sally ranting on about what she saw not too long ago and the next he's being sent to the principal, Mr. Robotic. He sat in his office listening to him talk on the phone with Mr. Bright. He put the phone down and turned in his chair to face Shadow with no expression on his face like Shadow was doing too.
Mr. Robotnik: Is there something that you want to tell me Shadow?
Shadow: Yeah, why the hell am I here?
Mr. Robotnik: That's more of a question young man.
Shadow: I know but that's all I got since I have no clue why in the hell I was sent here in the first place!
Shadow slammed his fists on Mr. Robotnik's desk raging in furry. His furry ear twitched when he heard the door handle jiggle and turn. The door opened and Amy and Cream walked into the office with just as much confusion as Shadow had on his face.
Amy: Shadow, what're you doing here?
Shadow: That's what I want to know but why are you two here?
Cream: We don't know either.
Amy: Yeah, Cream and I were doing a project and Mrs. Sebastian got a call from Mr. Bright on her cell and then Kimmie came back from the bathroom and whatever it was that they both knew spread in through the whole class room and everybody gave me dirty looks while they had pitied looks for Cream.
Shadow slammed his fists down on the desk again. Mr. Robotnik saw his rage and stood from behind his desk and motioned for the girls to sit down next to Shadow in the three grey cushioned chairs behind them but Shadow remained standing.
Mr. Robotnik: Shadow, please, sit.
Shadow: I think I'll do that.
Shadow sat in the grey plush cushioned chair between Amy and Cream rubbing his head.
Amy: Shadow, do you know anything about what they said?
Shadow glanced over at Amy, then Cream and then Mr. Robotnik. He sighed heavily and sat his elbows on the top of his knees leaning forward.
Shadow: When we got here, Sally saw me carry in Cream on my back.
Mr. Robotnik: And why were you doing that?
Cream: I had walked from my house to Shadows' to see if he wanted to go get Amy and we could all walk to school together. But i fell asleep when i got to Shadow's house.
Mr. Robotnik: Is this true you two?
He looked at Amy and Shadow and they nodded answering his question.
Mr. Robotnik: Now can you tell me, Amy, why Miss Cream has blemishes adorned on her body?
Amy: Well, I really don't know how exactly because Shadow and Cream know all the details.
He turned to Shadow and Cream with concern on his face.
Mr. Robotnik: Then can you two tell me the story?
So they explained the whole story of Cream's injuries. But, when they both found out what everybody said they freaked. Amy nearly destroyed Mr. Robotnik's office with her hammer that magically appeared out of nowhere, Shadow had to hold her down from trying to destroy the mans' office into bits. Cream nearly cried a river of tears wondering who would think that. Mr. Robotnik understood the situation and called the rest of the teachers to settle the misunderstanding. Then he called security to find Scourge and bring him to his office to give him a propper punishment for hurting a young defenseless girl.
Mr. Robotnik: Well, now that this whole thing has been settled all three of you can have four days off but your teachers will send you your homework to your respected e-mail accounts. You may leave, and have a good day.
All three: Thank you sir.
They stood and left out of the room walking down the hall together in silence. The bell rang for second period. The students rushed out laughing and smiling. But, that was till they noticed that Amy, Shadow, and Cream were all in the hall at the same time. They whispered things to each other talking about the three, staring at them.
Cream: This feels awkward Amy, I'm scared.
Amy: Don't be Cream, as soon as we get to our lockers and get the hell out of here then we'll be fine.
She reassured her and then it went to hell from there. Sally stood in front of Amy's locker with Dorine and Jenna, the twin terrors.
Amy: What do you want Sally?
Sally: Nothing, I just want to know why Cream and Shadow hang around you.
Amy: They don't hang around me Sally, now, could you move I'm trying to get to my locker.
Sally walked up to Amy and stood there for a second staring at her features. Then, Sally's hand went across her face. Amy fell back on to the floor and held her hand on her right cheek. The other teens in the hall were shocked to see her action.
Sally: Know what that feels like when you're in Creams' place.
Shadow: I think you went too far.
Shadow pulled Amy off the tiled floor and looked at her cheek. It as humming red with Sally's' hand print on her face. He could see traces of blood dripping from around where her long finger nails crossed her pale pink flesh.
Shadow: C'mon, go wait outside for me I'll get both your things.
Amy: But Shadow-
Shadow: Do as I say.
He commanded her with nothing more than a soft glare. She looked down at her feet and Cream pulled her arm walking away from the crowd of kids.
Sally: How long did it take to train her Shadow?
Shadow: Move.
Sally: I mean, I'm surprised that anything would get through that thick pink, died hair of her's-
Shadow punched the locker next to Sally's face startling her and stopping her in mid-sentence. Her horrored look traced the arm that it originated from and met Shadow's blazing red eyes glaring harshly at her. Shadow wasn't joking around. It's all because of Sally that his perfect day had been ruined.
Shadow: I won't ask again, now move.
Sally scrambled to the other side of the hall away from Shadow and his rage. He opened Amy and Cream's locker grabbing what things that he thought they needed. He closed their lockers and left, he already had his things. Amy and Cream were out sitting next to the big oak tree by the parking lot entrance. Shadow ran to them and gave them their stuff.
Amy: Thanks Shadow, you didn't have to do that for us.
Shadow: I already had my things so don't worry about it, I didn't want either of you to get hurt but you did, and I'm sorry.
Amy: It was only a slap on the face nothing big, it's not like she shot me in my head.
Shadow: It doesn't matter to me. I don't want either of you to get hurt and both of you did. I was only there for one of you and I witnessed the other being hurt in the process.
Cream: But, we do thank you for helping us though.
Cream jumped on Shadow's back and snuggled into his neck giggling softly in his ear.
Amy: Why don't we have a sleepover at my house tonight?
Cream: Alright, I'll call my mom and tell her to drop off my stuff later. What about you Shadow?
The girls stared at Shadow seeing that he was in deep thought about being in one house with two girls that everyone at school supposedly thought he fucked last night. They inched closer to him trying to make him answer faster since they were getting impatient.
Amy: C'mon Shadow! You'll have your own room and whatever you want.
That struck him. When she said "Whatever you want," he thought of having some cherry ice cream all over Amy for desert tonight. He still didn't want to admit that he was starting to develop feelings for her but the thought had crossed his mind a number of times since he last saw her.
Shadow: Fine, on one condition.
They looked confused.
Amy: Sure, what is it?
Shadow: You and I have to fight ten rounds and whoever has the most energy after those ten rounds, the other has to do whatever they want for a month.
That was a bit extreme, even for him. But, Amy liked challenges and she would do anything to try and win. She smiled devilishly at him making him smirk, Cream didn't like this at all, she knew how competitive Amy was and she was too stubborn to listen to reason. Amy held her hand out.
Amy: You have yourself a deal Shadow.
She's trapped in a deal that she might lose. Shadow took Amy's hand and shook on it. They raced back to Amy's place having fun along the way. They got in the house and Amy ran up to her room and jumped up and down on her bed screaming for joy, mentally.' Shadow is staying over my house!' she was ecstatic about this but she stopped jumping when she realized what she had done. 'Damnit!' If I lose then I have to do whatever he says for a month, and knowing that he's a guy he's gonna make me do...!' Amy fell to the sheets and kicked her feet back and forth flailing her fists. 'Guess I have to deal with it, I made a deal with him and I intend to keep that deal, even if he makes me do something embarrassing.' She forgot her worries and changed her clothes and went back down stairs to see that Cream was checking what they had to do for homework that night.
Cream: I'm writing down all our homework from each class, Mr. Robotnik sent it about two minutes ago.
Amy: Cream, do you think I'm doing the right thing agreeing to this?
Cream kept her eyes on the computer and answered Amy.
Cream: Personally, with my opinion, I think that you were really stupid for accepting.
Amy: I knew that you would say that.
Cream: But, if you win then you can make Shadow do embarrassing stuff for a month.
They both liked that part of the deal. Amy smiled at her friend and grabbed her arm dragging her to the training hall where Shadow was waiting patiently for her.
Shadow: You ready to lose Rose?
Amy: Yeah, ready to kick your butt.
Shadow: We'll see about that.
Amy: Cream can you referee?
Cream: Sure!
Cream sat in the behind the lines of the blue mats that Shadow placed earlier. There were two flags on either side of her. One was green for Shadow and the other was red for Amy.
Cream: Alright you guys, first one to pin the other to the mat for ten seconds for ten rounds wins!
Cream raised both the flags high above her head and looked at both Amy and Shadow who were both staring at each other in their fighting stances. 'This is gonna be interesting...' Cream thought as she watched the two have a staring contest.
Cream: Ok, get ready, set, FIGHT!
Amy charged at Shadow when Cream pulled the flags down, she aimed for his legs only to be met with nothing but air. Shadow had jumped high in the air and grabbed Amy's ankles twirling her while throwing her in the air. Amy screamed at the top of her lungs showing her fear because of his action.
Shadow: I'm not going easy on you because you're a girl and you offered me to stay the weekend at your house Rose.
She fell down towards Shadow looking as though she were going to land right on him, but he body slammed her to the ground and climbed on top of her pinning her arms with his knees.
Cream: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! And the first round goes to Shadow!
She said as she raised the green flag.
Cream: It's one to nothing! Next round!
Shadow removed himself from on top of Amy and stood smirking evilly at Amy as she lay on the ground with her eyes staring up at the ceiling as she caught her breath.
Shadow: I wonder what I'll do if I win?
He said this with a smirk on his face and a daring tone in his voice. Amy slowly got up; she used her body adding cat like movements and positions trying to catch him off guard. It worked. Shadow was stunned at the sight before him. Amy was on all fours with her back arched in and her long pink almost bubble gum colored hair falling from her shoulders as she stared at Shadow with anger in her jade green eyes.
Amy: We'll see about the, won't we?
He brought back his composure and charged for her, he knocked her on her side and tried to pin her down but she latched on to his shoulders. He couldn't grab her wrists because she kept pulling his body down into hers.
Shadow: What kind of tactic is this!?
Amy: It's called persuasion.
Shadow: How is this going to persuade me?
Amy: I have my ways.
'Ah shit, that's what every girl says when she wants-!' Shadow's thoughts were cut off when he was flipped on to his back and Amy was sitting on his groin and her right hand was inching towards his zipper. He had been stunned. He breathing was fast and he was becoming dizzy.
Amy: My way is the high way, and it always works for me.
Shadow couldn't do or say anything. He could but he was staring at her seductive like features. Without him noticing he only had a couple of seconds left to push her off before she won the second round. She brought him back to reality by digging her nails into his forearm. 'Man, is he gonna lose...' Cream thought to herself as she watched the drama unfold. Shadow felt the increasing pain the she unleashed on his arm, he screamed and then...
Cream: 10! Amy wins the second round!
When he heard this, he growled at Amy who was grinning at him because he couldn't stop her victory.
Shadow: Wait that shouldn't count she seduced me into submission and scared my arms!
Amy: There were no rules if I recall Shadow besides going ten rounds with no rest.
Shadow shoved Amy from over top of him making her fall in front of him.
Cream: Third round, GO!
Over six hours have those two been going at it and by the ninth round both fighters wanted to fall on a fluffy cloud and rest for a bit, more like years to get rid of the bruises and soreness.
Cream: I would've thought that one of you would've fallen by now.
Amy and Shadow were heaving air through their bodies trying to breathe straight; they stared at each other with this sort of satisfaction and also this burning desire to destroy the other. They both drew blood from the other and bruises were visible and both their now un-flawless skin.
Amy: Ready to give up, 'Shady?'
Shadow's eyes grew wide in a matter of seconds when she said that. That was what Sonic called him whenever he mocked him. Shadow lunged at Amy before she could even react or Cream could even start the tenth round, but hey this was continuous. Shadow tackled Amy to the mat and flipped her on her stomach pulling her arms behind her back with his right hand and gripping her right thigh with his left. He squeezed her skin turning it red and irritated. Amy winced at the pain and squirmed under Shadow's might. Cream saw that he was winning which was a shock to her. Anytime she's seen Amy in a physical fight with anyone, she'd win, always. But this might be because it a different reason because none of the other fights included one specific thing; Shadow.
Cream: 10!
Shadow: 10! That's it Rose, I win.
Amy wasn't listening to him; she was under his body by his force. What do you think she's dreaming about? What all girls think when they have the guy they like forcing them down, sex. She had images running through her mind of Shadow gripping every part of her body trying to please her hitting the right spots as their sweat drenched bodies rocked back and forth in rhythm.
Cream: Amy?! Did Shadow hurt you that bad?
She snapped her eyes open to realize that Cream was talking to her and that Shadow had left. She sprang to her knees looking all over the place and she saw that Shadow must've gone somewhere. She looked at Cream who was grinning at her oddly.
Amy: Why are you grinning like that Cream?
Cream: For two reasons and two reasons only, one would be that you were day dreaming about you and Shadow having sex.
Amy went wide eyed and her face lit up like a red Christmas tree, but she couldn't lie to Cream.
Amy: Sigh, yes, your right Cream. It's not my fault that I like him!
Cream: But it is your fault that you accepted his challenge, and I knew that you'd lose too.
Amy: Yeah, thanks for the pep talk Cream I know that you had total confidence in me.
Amy was sarcastic but still smiled because she knew that Cream was right, she was going to lose whether she tried to or not, and trust that she did try to back with all her might.
Cream: And secondly, you wanted to lose because you wanted Shadow to take control of you, you wanted him to make you do whatever he wanted no matter how embarrassing it was.
She's smart for the youngest person in the high school and in the 11th grade.
Amy: Maybe, who knows?
Cream: Me.
Amy giggled and they stood to their feet, Cream gave Amy a towel and look in the direction that she saw Shadow leave.
Cream: You know he wouldn't mind if you backed out of the agreement now, he's a really nice guy.
Amy: I know Cream, but what kind of person would I be if I backed out figuring out the results. It's like erasing my name of a test when I found out that I got a perfect score. No, I won't back down from this.
Cream smiled at her friend and hugged her, Amy was going to hug back but Cream pulled away just in time.
Cream: You smell, you should go take a shower.
Amy: Isn't that what Shadow's doing now?
Amy knew better than to do the one thing that Cream would know she would. Cream may be the brightest girl in the 11th, but she was still a kid at heart and could be a very tricky prankster when she wanted.
Cream: No, he should be sitting on the couch relaxing since you gave him a round house kick to both parts of his body; upper and his nether regions!
Amy scratched the back her head with nervousness and smiled nervously as well. She stood from the floor and ran to her room. She went to the bathroom and took a short shower. She felt the cold water hit her steaming body. She stretched her body but the pain made her cringe and fall to the floor. 'My body is burning, and it's not with a passion for Shadow this time.' She thought as she lightly touched the area that Shadow squeezed her thigh. She cringed even more; she didn't even touch the spot. She jumped when she heard a knock at the door.
Amy: I'm in the shower!
There was silence for a minute then a small chuckle. She couldn't tell whether it was a male or female doing that.
Shadow: And? I want you to come out here now with the first aid kit and some lotion.
'DAMN! Why couldn't it be Cream at the door?!' She stood and dried her hair also turning off the water and grabbing the things he said to get. But one thing struck her.
Amy: I don't have my clothes with me and I'll be in a towel!
Shadow: I know that, just get out here quick.
'Is he insane or something? He wants me to come out in a towel only?' Amy did as he said and walked out in her short black towel and the things they needed. When she stepped out she saw Shadow sitting on the bed with his legs crossed. He was facing the bathroom door with a smirk on his face as he watched Amy close the bathroom door.
Shadow: Now, get over here.
He said as though he were amused by it. And he was. She walked over to the bed and sat next to him. He took the kit from her hands and opened it. She stared at him while he rummaged through the plastic box. He glanced over at her and then reached for her towel.
Amy: What're you doing Shadow?
Shadow: I wanted to patch you up from the fight, if you didn't mind.
Amy blinked for reigniting and then sighed lightly.
Amy: Turn around; I don't want you to see me naked.
Shadow: Fair enough.
He turned and closed his eyes. Amy undid the towel and let it drape around her body.
Shadow: Can I look now?
Amy: Yeah.
He turned to see her bare back. Her skin was a pale pink and beautiful, that was also scared due to their little bet. He saw that her back was still glistening with water from the shower. He took the edge of the towel and patted her back lightly, as he did so she would flinch every couple of times seeing that she was in more pain than he was.
Shadow: I'm sorry that I went so rough on you.
Amy: Don't be, I get used to the pain after a few hours.
Shadow moved closer to Amy causing her body to tense up.
Shadow: Would you relax? I won't do anything freaky, for a while.
Amy: How long of a "while" are we talking?
She turned slightly to look at him with aggravation in her eyes. He smirked like he always did and put his cold hands to her back. She jumped off the bed falling to the floor. Shadow got off the bed and looked at how she was on the floor. Amy heard him trying to hold back from laughing but that wasn't possible. She was face first into the hard wood flooring and her rear end was high in the air. He knelt down on one knee and patted her ass.
Shadow: Trying to show off for me or was this just accidental coincidence?
Amy: It would do nicely if you help me up Shadow...
She said muffled from flooring and pain. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up.
Amy: Wrong way Shadow!
She was still facing the floor but her ass was facing him. This was to his delight and she somewhat liked it. He threw her on the bed and climbed on top of her. So far all she knew was that the towel was the only thing keeping him from looking at anything she had under it. Shadow was staring down at her with an impassive look in his eyes.
Shadow: You know, sooner or later that towel will have to come off.
Amy: You wouldn't go that far Shadow.
Shadow: You're right, but not all the time.
Her eyes became wide when he said that and she clutched the towel tighter in her hands. He moved his hand towards the bottom of the towel and tugged at it.
Amy: Shadow!
Shadow: Well, you'll have to take it off so I can fix your injuries, aren't I?
Amy: You make a convincing point but...
She trailed off and looked the other way. He saw that she was upset about something, and it had to do with something under her towel. He understood. He fell on the bed next to her and his face was close to hers.
Shadow: Alright. I won't do anything that you don't like. I'll understand.
Amy: Really?
Shadow: Would I lie to you?
She looked at him with a face saying "Hell yeah you would!" That may have been true but he was serious this time. He chuckled under his breath and put his hand on her stomach.
Shadow: I'm serious Rose. I won't do anything that you won't like even if I won the bet.
Amy: That's sweet of you Shadow. Thank you.
Shadow: But….
'Damn.' Amy thought as he added the "But".
Shadow: I do want you to turn over so I can put some lotion on your back.
Amy: Considering that I don't have a choice.
Amy turned over her back holding her towel to her chest. Shadow sat up and reached over her to grab the lotion. He squirted some of the lotion in his hand and rubbed it together.
Shadow: Just to warn you, my hands may be a little cold.
Amy: That just makes it all the more better for me. I wonder whose getting the good end of this deal me or you?
He started down at her hips and worked his way up. She moaned at the feeling of his cold, large gentle hands gliding up and down on her body. He reached her shoulders and went to her neck. She giggled as his fingers trailed her collar bone. She thought. Even though he was harsh with her during the fight, now he was gentle and his fingers felt like feathers on her skin.
Amy: This feels nice.
Shadow: I'm glad it does.
His hands went to her ass and teased her a bit. She looked back at him with anger in wondering why he did this.
Shadow: You have a soft ass Rose, wonder if there's anything else you have that's this soft.
Amy: You're not getting your hands on my boobs Shadow!
Shadow: I'm sorry, who won the bet?
She sighed heavily and hung her head in moral defeat.
Amy: You did.
Shadow: And who gets to do whatever they want to the loser?
Amy: You do.
Shadow: That's right, now sit up.
She did as he commanded and sat up holding the towel in her hands still close to her chest.
Shadow: Now, move the towel.
She hesitated for a moment and then let the towel drop to the sheets. Shadow saw why she didn't want him to take the towel off. She had a gigantic scare the shape of an X on her stomach. He neared the scar on her belly and felt the ridges in it.
Amy: Shadow, stop please…I don't like this at all.
Shadow: I wanna know who did this to you.
Amy: Shadow I-
Shadow: Tell me who did this to you now Amy.
That was the first time that he ever called her by her first name. She looked at him to see the anger and furry burning up in his eyes. Something about this mark made him forget everything, even the bet. Did this mean that he really did care about her?
Amy: I had this when I was born. Half of it is a birth mark and the other half is a scar inflicted on me by my father.
She turned away. Shadow couldn't believe that someone who helped bring her into this world would hurt her. He sat straight and touched her still wet pink ears. She flinched and her other ear twitched.
Shadow: The only way that you can be safe is if you stay with me.
Amy: Shadow, that was a long time ago, my parents want nothing to do with me now.
She reassured him standing on her knees moving closer to his face, she didn't even care if she was naked anymore. He wrapped his arms around her waist and let his head fall into her bust. The scent from her body was intoxicating, addictive to him that he just gave into her whims. He pulled one of his arms around her legs and the other on her lower back.
Amy: Believe me when I say this Shadow, I'm fine where I am, I just don't want others to be too involved in my life because I don't want them to get hurt or know too much. Do you understand?
Shadow nodded as a response to her question. He nuzzled into her stomach making her laugh; this made him happy for once in his life.
