Quietly Watching

Chapter 7

Echo sat down at the fire in the giant living room. Her fur was fluffed out as she air dried with the help of the heat. Her clothes laid next to her was she debated on putting them on or not. Tail twitching impishly as she then remember what had happened in the water. She really wanted to let him have her, but her heart said don't trust him. So, she didn't. He was going to use her then toss her away. That's way she had to be careful she told herself. Don't get hurt, never get hurt. Sighing, she put an ear phone in and started her music.

"In the night-light, do you see what you dream?All your troubles, are they all what they seem?Look around you, then you may realizeAll the creatures saw with the light."

Silently she wonder what the moron of a green hedgehog was doing. Was he okay? Did he get his strength back yet? Scourge may have been a jerk, but he was still someone from her world. He knew who she was and maybe that made her care just a little for him. She didn't know…

"And I might know of our future,But then, you still control the you know if you'll be you know if we shall last!"

"Scourge, why'd you have to be such a jerk?" Echo mumbled with sadness. "Why can't you grow up? You want to be a strong king, but you have no idea what it means to be king. You moron."

"In the night-light, do you still feel your pain?For the valor you waited, never came!If you were able, would you go change the past?There's a fur ball with one last chance!And I might know of our future,But then you still control the you know if you'll be together,Tonight!"

Finitevus listened to the young woman from the doorway. He took in all that she said, then thought deeply of what had happen in the water. That's the reason she rejected him. That boy was on her mind because of their dark history together. She wanted to change him for the better. Not to be like the blue version, but to be a better man. She didn't need to focus on such a foolish child like Scourge, her focus should have been on him.

"Cause every night I will save your life!And every night I will be with you!Cause every night I still lay awake,And I dream of an absolution!Cause every night I will make it right!And every night I will come to you!But every night it just stays the same,In my dream of an absolution!"

Scourge was another person to kill in order to have his vision of peace on Mobius. That jackass was getting in his way, even after they left him on the anti-world. Finitevus had to make her forget Scourge and focus on him and the good he was going to do the world. The reshaping of Mobius. First, destroy the non-believers, then create a utopia upon peace.

The green hedgehog stared up at his ceiling as he relaxed in his bed. His thought upon one cat and an annoying echidna. What right did that crazy punk scientist taking her from him? What was that mad psychopath going to do to that innocence feline? He growled at the thought of Finitevus bedding Echo even if it wasn't against her will. That pissed him off the most. What did that monster have that, he didn't? More charisma that was for sure. Sure he was a smoother talker, but not like Finitevus was.

"In the night-light, do you see what you dream?All your triumph, and all you'll ever be?Look around you, then you may realize,Happiness lies trapped in misery!And who knows what of our future?We can all try to change the you know if you'll be together,Tonight!"

Scourge pulled a ring he stole out of his pocket. Maybe it was time for him to settle down and get over himself? Nah, he would always be into himself more than anyone in the world, but maybe she could be his number two. Maybe she would forgive him and be willing to put up with his selfishness until she could, ugh, make him a better man in time. He really didn't want to be like his father and rule in peace. Scourge wanted to be himself, but maybe he could be nice… maybe… if it was a cold day in hell.

"Cause every night I will save your life!And every night I will be with you!Cause every night I still lay awake,And I dream of an absolution!'Cause every night I will make it right!And every night I will come to you!But every night it just stays the same,In my dream of an absolution!"

Echo yawned as she started to fall asleep in front of the fire. Her eyes opened slightly as someone picked her up in their strong arms and took her to bed. Sniffing, she found it to be Finitevus. "I'm sorry, but I'm just not ready yet," she softly said curling up in his arms as she slipped into sleep.
