The Monster
CHAPTER HAS BLOOD!!!!
Italics-Dreams
"Amy! Wait!" I yelled, I couldn't catch up to her...
It was pitch black and all I could see was her.
"Amy! Don't go!" I reached for her.
Suddenly blood red eyes showed in front of my, its mouth opened and there was what seemed to be a red gleam of light coming from it.
Amy kept running and then stopped.
I finally caught up to her and grabbed her shoulder.
I spun her around...
Her eyes were gouged out and her mouth was full of blood...
I screamed.
End Dream
I woke up screaming, it echoed through the house...
I was drenched in sweat and my breathing stung my lungs.
What had that dream meant...?
I got up and went to the bathroom, I splashed my face with water and looked at myself in the mirror.
A black shadow was standing behind me.
I couldn't move...
"What the hell are you...?" I could barely find my voice.
It got close to my ear, "You."
I gasped and turned around.
It was gone.
I ran a hand through my quills and turned off the light.
As soon as I hit the bed, I was off into a now dreamless sleep...these signs still haunted me.
The dream.
The demon...
My depression...
My rage...
Nothing made since, it seems like the "thing" is in me...
The next morning I hit the shower first thing, trying to wash away my stress and anxiety.
Nothing was going to solve this problem...
I stepped out of the shower and looked at myself in the mirror again.
I sighed and touched my wet face.
I looked normal, nothing was wrong, it was a face of a normal human...(a/n: yes Shadow is human but he has quills)
"No it's not..." A very dark voice said in my head.
"What the hell?" I looked around.
"You prick, I'm in your head, I'm you." It said.
"Bullshit, what are you?" I asked it, I looked like a crack head talking to myself...
"Well to start off, have you read the Bible lately?" That threw me off.
"No not in a while, what does that have to do with anything?"
"Well you may not have noticed me but I'm the prince of Hell. Basically I'm all the anger in this horrible place called Earth. I get into people all the time but your my best target is you. The name is Balan." It chuckled.
"Why, out of all the sinners in the world, why me? What the hell did I do?" I was still lost.
Suddenly I was pushed against the wall with a force so great, it knocked the wind out of me.
"Listen and listen good," It said, "I'm not to be played with, I can put you through things that'll ruin your life forever. Now I control you and every move you make. Got it?" Obviously it was pissed.
"Okay, one nobody controls me, two, this is just a dumb voice in my head that's a fucking joke and three, don't ever throw me up against the wall like that ever again."
It growled.
A stabbing pain went through my stomach and suddenly, blood came from my mouth.
"Painful isn't it?"
I coughed, "No, I've been through worse." My voice raspy.
"What I'm about to put you through you would wish you had those painful times again."
Later after the incident, he was gone and I decided to go to Knuckles' Island.
I put on my black trench coat and my converse, grabbed my phone and my chaos emerald.
I Chaos Controlled myself to Angel Island.
When I was over there, it was raining...hard.
I walked through the forest, careful not to get scratched by the branches.
I could see Knuckles sitting on the pedestal of the Master Emerald getting drenched.
He was asleep.
I chuckled, "Knux."
Nothing.
"Knuckles."
Still nothing.
I sighed then I jabbed his side, he fell over with a squeal.
"What the hell?! Oh. Shadow don't scare me like that! Damn, I'm thinking that someone is after the emerald." He sat back up.
I sat next to him laughing to myself.
"What did you come here for?"
"I need to talk to you about something that I'm trusting you with." I looked down at my feet.
"What?" That caught his attention.
"Knux, weird shit has been going on ever since...you know...the incident with Amy, and it seems like when I get angry it turns into rage and I have no control whatsoever."
"Your point?"
"Knuckles, I think I'm possessed." I looked up at him, not caring about the rain.
He looked shocked, "Whoa, are you sure?"
"Yes, I have nerve wracking dreams, voices in my head, getting thrown against walls, coughing up blood nonstop!" I was standing up now, "Of course I'm sure! And all because of this thing inside me, I'm hurting people I love!"
He just stared at me, "I believe you..."
I took a deep breathe, I dropped back on the pedestal and put my head in my hands...
"Why so emotional?" Rouge was beside me, her hand was on my shoulder.
Knuckles gasped, "What all did you hear?"
"All." She said.
"Damn." He mumbled.
I still hadn't moved, "Rouge, you can't tell anyone." My voice was muffled.
"I won't, I promise." She rubbed my shoulder and put her head on it.
I sighed, I felt relieved.
At least I told someone.
Knuckles finally spoke after awhile, "Shadow...I think you need...an exorcism."
