Ch6: Her Last Night...

Amy knocked on Shadow's door, taking off her hood from her head and letting it hang down her neck. She heard a groan through the door then some footsteps down the stairs. She waited patiently for the door to open because she knew Shadow probably just had awoken.

"Who is it?" Said a tired, grumpy voice from the other side of the door. "Who do ya' think?" Amy asked sarcastically but not in a mean tone. "Oh…" The voice yawned loudly as he unlocked his door and opened it. There stood a black and red hedgehog, his quills messy and his eyes droopy as he stood there in his pajama pants, yawning and trying to keep himself awake.

"Come in…" He said in a low voice, his eyes closed and his head down like he was about to fall back asleep. Amy walked herself in and made her way towards Shadow's kitchen where she decided to make a coffee for Shadow. Shadow followed her and sat down at his table inside the kitchen, his face still tired but more awake. "What time is it?" The dark hedgehog asked as he watched Amy make his cup of coffee.

Amy looked at the clock on the oven. "11:45…" Amy answered. "That late? Man! It's like I get no sleep at all!" Shadow said, rubbing his eyes and stretching his arms. Amy sat by him in another seat, waiting for the coffee to be done. Shadow slapped himself out of his sleepy mode and turned to Amy. "So? How did Auron take the trip?" Shadow asked. Amy shrugged sadly with no expression on her face except a little sigh. "He really didn't take it that well… When I told him about Sonic and the others and how I wanted to visit them, he thought that I only want to go there to get away from him which… Is kinda the truth..." Amy answered, the bruise on her arm now aching from the memory when she told Auron about the trip.

Shadow shrugged; his eyes closed and his body leaned back against his chair. "Couldn't blame ya'! I'm glad that you're going back home for the holidays. Good way to keep you away from him…or is he coming too?"

Amy shook her head up and down, her hair waving along with her head. "Yes… Sadly. Because he doesn't trust me being alone with myself and trust Sonic and the others… He thinks I'll tell everyone about… Well, you know?" Amy said, her eyes now filled with fear and sadness. Shadow saw and sighed heavily. Just then, the coffee was done and let out a beeping sound. Amy got up and poured the coffee into a cup and handed it to Shadow, who almost drank it all in one gulp.

"Geez Shadow! Slow down!" Amy said as she refilled Shadow's cup. "…How about you tell Sonic?" Shadow asked, trying to stay on subject. "Uhh… First thing, no. Why? Because you know what Auron would do! I'm sorry Shadow but Sonic hasn't ever cared about me nor I bet he never will!" Amy said, quite ticked off that Shadow even asked the question. "But I thought he was nice to you and paid attention to you before you left, all that romantic crap!" Shadow said, a little confused. "Well… He was just taking pity on me!"

Shadow still didn't understand. "This is why I'm not in any relationships!" Shadow said, gulping down another cup of his coffee. "And plus Shadow. I bet Sonic has forgotten about me by now and doesn't even care anymore." Amy said, making herself feel like crud. "I bet he hasn't…" Shadow said lowly. Amy looked at him weirdly. "Really? Cause last time I checked, you weren't in any relationships and that was like… OH! 30 seconds ago!" Amy said with attitude. Shadow didn't say anything but just gave a small smile.

"Whatever…" He said. He took another sip of his coffee and then looked Amy with worry. "How long are you gonna let this guy do these things to you?" Shadow asked. Amy already felt tears coming to her eyes just thinking about the beatings, the terrible things Auron made her do, everything…

"I-I'm not sure… I'm just… too scared. I'm not strong at all; I'm weak. I can never earn the respect I deserve. Even with Sonic… He never seemed to except me more than a friend. He never seemed to care until I left. Now, look at where I am now. I'm just… Weak…"

At night, Amy returned home. She silently walked into the apartment, looking back and forth in the dark. She didn't know if Auron was home nor did she really want to know. She quietly walked upstairs and tried to make it to her bedroom but before she did, she was surprised by a low and deep, scary voice.

"Where've you been?" Auron asked, walking out of the shadows. "Shadow's house…" Amy whispered silently with fear in her voice.

Auron's green eye's reflected in the moonlight, which glowed outside the window. Auron walked up to Amy and grabbed her wrists. Amy tugged on them but she knew what was going to happen. "Please, let go of me!" Amy said, her face already wet with tears.

"Listen! Just shut you goddamn mouth and listen! Look! I'm not going on your freakin' trip because I've got things to do! But if I find out that you tell anyone about me, then I swear I will make your life more horrible than it is! And I swear, you better come back 'cause if you don't I'll track you down Miss Rose and it won't be pretty! And if you dare try to tell that blue boy and think he's going to protect you, think again! So, do I make myself clear?!" Auron yelled. Amy nodded as she bit the bottom of her lip and let tears fall from her eyes.

Amy started to try and tug away from Auron once again but Auron only brought Amy closer to him.

"Please! Stop Auron!" Amy yelled but Auron only ignored and started kissing her. Amy tried to pull away but as mean and nasty as Auron was, he kept her close to him. He then started to dig his nails behind Amy's back and started to scratch her. Amy could feel blood run down her back as he cut her delicate skin. Amy cried more tears of hurt and pain but never could she release herself from his grip. He sliced her skin up more with his dark nails. His lips tasted dirty and sour, which was a taste Amy disgusted. More tears fell from her eyes as she pulled herself away from him harder but couldn't.

Auron hands started moving down Amy's body as Amy felt more uncomfortable and started to scream. She felt his hands going down her dress and she started to panic.She tried to think of something else, someone else. She thought deeply inside her head but all that popped up was the name: Sonic. She heard herself call for him inside her mind but she knew... After dealing with it for three whole years, that he wasn't there to save her. Not now, not in the past. No, he wasn't there.

Amy started to kick and scream more louder and cried in pain as he hit her hard on the back and on her arms. Auron hit her hard on the back over and over again over her old bruises. She yelped in pain and felt herself become what she was...Weak. Soon, after Amy couldn't take anymore, Auron threw her on the ground. Amy's body shook wildly and her teeth chattered as more tears hit the floor and she felt the pain in her arms and back grow. Auron only chuckled. "Man! Your no good! Makes me wonder why anyone would ever be with you! Including that blue boy who I think didn't even like you at all. Your just a worthless piece of junk!"

He then left to his room and locked it, leaving Amy on the floor. Crying. Screaming. Cursing at everything and everyone. She then started to whisper his name again, like she did on some nights to keep herself calm… "Sonic. Sonic. Sonic…"
