Instincts

Ch. 13

By: (regrettably me) Cutegirlmayra… (I really don't want to do this! But I have too! But I wish I didn't start this STUPID STORY! Everytime a climax like this comes up I'm gonna be a WRECK. I CAN'T- -jumps head first with arms to my sides out the window and breaks the glass- Anyway… I'm probably rushing… kinda like I did the last chapter… but I might as well get passed this chapter so I can move on to the other fun stuff I have in mind… -Like Silver's appearance- so… enjoy you Shadamy lovers out there XP )

Instinct Amy had to do something, if she didn't, she would be claimed and her station and Sonic's would be in jeopardy.

Shadow was moving over her, sliding his head from her shoulder to her back and seeming to try and pin her down, but in a gentle approach of it.

She wouldn't have that.

She was fighting so hard, even Amy within her, who now had her senses back was screaming for her to do something, anything! She felt it was all her fault… for trusting Shadow and sticking by him when he refused to be tested by Tails to make sure his Instincts were in check.

She reared up, going against her submissive behavior and fighting back, convincing herself she was already taken and that Sonic was her alpha. That was the only way to fight it… at least… that Instinct Amy could think of..

'You can't let this happen!' Amy screamed from her mind, 'I won't be the reason Shadow,..and Sonic both fell!' she began crying within her mind, seeing as something like this made Sonic leave her, and maybe even dislike her now… If Shadow and her woke up to the same fate… no, would she be able to stop this? Her Instinct was on her side this time… after all, maybe there was a way to work together!

He shall not have me..!

Her instinct responded, still fighting Instinct Shadow as he stopped being such a 'nice guy' and started to force her down more.

I won't be taken as some prey to his schemes of power!

'Good! I'm glad we're on the same page!' Amy didn't know what else to do, "You can't mate! You just can't! We have to stick together on this one, please!'

Instinct Amy was on her back now, kicking and pawing as Instinct Shadow finally had enough.

There must be a way to calm her…

Instinct Shadow thought a moment and got one of Shadow's ideas from his mind, as Shadow fought back in his mind to prevent him from doing so.

'Stop! This is not the way! You'll draw her more and more away from you! Cease this madness!'

Instinct Shadow lowered his head to hers, as she continued to resist and fight back.

…One touch… that's all she's needs to stop fighting… one moment… where I become her precious Sonic

'NOOO!'

Instinct Shadow kissed Amy, leaving her body to force her into her natural state of submission and the urge to mate rise within her being. Since she was in her second year, the urge was so profoundly stronger than her first year that Instinct Amy literally lost all thought and only acted on that feeling.

'Wait… what's happening…? I feel your will slipping away… where are you? Other me…? OTHER ME! WAKE UP! STOP!'

With each deep kiss came a deeper wave of hunger, a more desire to be with whomever was there,… regardless of who or consent.

At last…

Instinct Shadow pulled back only a moment to hold her beneath him, smirking.

You will be mine…

Picking her up, he still remembered his Other's memory of Sonic being nearby, and wanting to avoid the 'so-called' Alpha's wrath of his territory being preached and his mate being taken, he quickly left the house, kicking and breaking a window open as he raced to the mountains.

At least there, he could claim his station and territory in peace, without any…..

Unwanted…. Interruptions…

Shadow within himself couldn't stand the shame and horror he was feeling, the regret of not warning her as he should have, only because he feared he wouldn't be allowed to protect her again.

Maybe it wasn't that he couldn't protect her… but more as see her again…

'You…You monster..!' he felt a wave of anger pour from within him, and Instinct Shadow just thought it silly that he should act this way. 'Now I'll lose her forever! I the ultimate lifeform, can't even control these….these…stupid instincts!? How am I to be belittled by such an abnormality as this!? I won't let you get away with it!' Even Shadow, couldn't fight his own body… and the pain and devastation of it infuriated him down to his very core.

And yet… this made him more a natural hedgehog than he could ever have been in his whole life. Closer to really being a living thing that was meant to belong on this world. But Shadow tossed the idea as if it was inferior to be anything more than the ultimate lifeform, it was who he was. He had accepted his fate of being hated long ago, but to be feared and hated by…

her?

Could he endure that kind of fate?

Instinct Shadow jumped from rock to rock, climbing a large mountain up to a huge cave mouth, one Shadow didn't recognize as he was slipping more and more into the back of Instinct Shadow's mind.

Tossing Amy's limp body to the side and staking territory, she lay motionless, besides her heavy breathing…

'Wake up! You Can't! you mustn't! please!' Amy cried harder within herself, trying to get control or at least get Instinct Amy to fight back again.

But it was no use, her body was submitting to the natural order of the world, the way things were and the primeval instincts of her ancestors.

'…Sonic… please…' she too, was feeling that the last hope she had was her scent could reach Sonic, and he wouldn't resist it… 'Please… save me… I… I can't fight back anymore..'

Instinct Shadow slowly approached Amy again, about to finish the job when…

Her scent had carried far and wide, and by luck's chance, wandered far enough that a figure sniffed the air. He recognized the smell right away and in the moonlight gripped his head. He stumbled as a uncontrollable force ripped his will apart and took over his being.

A voice… in both their heads resounded…

'Sonic… Please…'

A grunt was heard at the mouth of the cave, as Shadow leaned back away from Amy, eyes widening, as he turned around to see the figure.

Eyes shining as if neon green in the night's blanketed sky of stars. The darkness only showing the form of the hedgehog, that we all know as-

.And you must be Sonic.

The annoyance in Instinct Shadow's voice came over loud and clear.

Diamond red eyes stared down a matching pair of green diamond eyes… each highly dominant, and each extremely agitated by the other.

The female is mine

The intensity of Instinct Sonic's voice made Amy's body twitch slightly, as Instinct Amy began to regain her consciousness as heat began to leave her.

Instinct Shadow laughed, making Instinct Sonic's glare deepen.

I didn't smell you on her…

I've been preoccupied…

Well, that's your fault…

Instinct Shadow turned and held his hands to his sides, ready to strike whenever Sonic wanted to challenge him.

Sonic remained still, waiting for an opening…

Surprisingly, he was standing… but his eyes looked completely in Instincts… could Sonic and him have been…

Working together to protect Amy?

This is my Alpha,…

Instinct Shadow looked back at Amy, who slowly crawled on her fours to the back of the cave, having a wobbly stance as she felt her strength slowly coming back to her.

..Alpha?

Instinct Sonic hadn't know about Shadow, until his eyes seemed to recognize something, as if Sonic from within him was allowing him access to his own memories.

Ah… I see… You began her Beta.

His glare weakened but he still seemed highly annoyed.

Guess you didn't do it for her.

Instinct Shadow mocked and teased, testing his limit of rebellion as he was trying to steal his position in the small 'pack' of sorts.

Instinct Sonic smirked.

Or perhaps I was so good that she felt she didn't have to worry about lapdogs trying to take my place?

That irked Instinct Shadow as Instinct Sonic continued.

You may have been accepted by Amy… but you have yet to shown your true alpha your potential. And stealing my mate is not going to help you when I decide if you live or die.

Suggesting you still being the alpha?

Of course.

Why you..! You are beneath me! Your smell make state your powerful, but you are no where near as strong as me!

Instinct Sonic readied himself, seeing an attack approaching as Shadow showed signs of challenge, acknowledging in his rage that he knew Sonic was the true alpha, which was slightly ironic, since he was stating he was going to be alpha.

This indirectly meant Shadow really did respect the bond, only because he was combined with the real Shadow, leaving there minds to fuse and want the same things.

Let me make this clear…

There grunts were already strong and threatening, but this came off more as fact.

This is my alpha… and I claim her TONIGHT!

Instinct Shadow lunged forward, just like the beastly attacks he did back with the Jumpers where he literally had tossed them aside like dirt under his fast moving feet.

Instinct Sonic just about had it, that was HIS female, the only one he actually wanted out of the other smells he had picked up on before.

Amy was his…

Even if his Other opposed.

She was his.

SHE IS MINE!

Instinct Sonic got on all fours and pushed his Other back, not needing him anymore, and the two began a terrifying war with one another.

They would literally have fought till the death, before Instinct Amy squeaked a high pitch noise, causing them to freeze, as Instinct dictated they must now obey her next command…

The two had their hands up as if they were their claws, readying to strike as they breathed heavily, looking over to her as she turned to them, still on all fours and her eyes and half her body being hit by the only light available to reach the back of the cave.

None of you will have me…

The sound carried through the cave, echoing as the two male hedgehogs lost their fighting stance.

I am not your alpha… nor am I your mate…

The two stepped back, shocked.

She was stating something unthinkable. She was denouncing her station and leaving the pack… but not just that, she was stating neither could have her, which meant she was once again a lone female, the way Instinct Sonic had first found her.

You realize you are sentencing yourself to death!?

Instinct Sonic lunged his body forward, growing angry with her and her statement, now that he couldn't claim her either… which he was fighting for, in the end.

What about your protection? And need I remind you that your life is at stake.

Instinct Shadow let his arm drop, glaring at her as well. Just like Tails said, to Instincts, they still believed a young hedgehog had to mate to avoid certain problems during pregnancy. And to them, she was pretty much saying she'd die a virgin…

I can start a pack without males who force me to wait or mate!

She growled out these words, as Amy suddenly realized something within herself.

'Wait.. forced virginity… Other me! H-hold on! I-… I don't want to not have children!' Amy shouted out through her mind to reach her other.

I thought… this is what you wanted…

Instinct Amy looked down, holding onto the wall as heat left her completely, leaving her able to think more clearly.

'N-n-n-no! Y-you can have a pack! But mate when I say to mate! Mating isn't wrong! Only … well, remember marriage!? That word I tried to describe to you?'

Sonic and Shadow waited, the effect of her cry still effecting them, but only for a short period of time would they be subjected to it…

Then Instinct Amy would have to deal with their wrath

'Just listen to me!' Amy cried out.

All you ever ask for is me to listen! Am I not doing so? Why can't I be happy too?

The command was fading, as Sonic and Shadow began approaching Amy.

'W-what are they doing!?' Amy began to freak out, seeing their rage quickly turn to her.

Erk.. They'll see me as a traitor to the pack…

Amy slowly leaned herself against the back of the cave, and growled, warning them to stay away…

'W-what?! Why!? Shadow was the one that-'

It's common practice for a Beta to try and seize Alpha position, it is not, however, common for an Alpha Female to… to denounce all males in her pack…

'S…So then… what will..?" Amy feared what was coming next, as she felt her Fight or Flight response begin to kick in.

They'll try and keep me… I'm the only female in the pack, it would risk their survival as a pack to lose me. They'll… they'll hurt me to keep me here… I must be punished for trying to flee my pack…

'Oh chaos…' Amy knew Shadow and Sonic would never forgive themselves when they snapped out of it, and she herself wouldn't know what to do…

They were already pretty beaten up as it was, but now their rage wasn't from lack of claiming her, it was from her rejecting them both!

Shadow and Sonic looked to one another, seeming to understand the situation they were in as well. If they lost their only female, they would be forced to start from square one, and instinct forced them to try and regroup the pack… which meant they had to keep Amy there and bound to them or else…!

Instinct Shadow huffed, still knowing he was technically apart of Sonic's pack, not his own… yet, and placed his head to his shoulder.

Instinct Sonic moved back a bit but understood the gesture, and looked away, not really wanting to accept it, but thought he had no other choice since Shadow as the only Beta he had…

Beta's were in charge of securing the survival of the pack… Shadow was admitting defeat to his previous challenge to then help with Amy…

Still, he was highly dominant… and clearly didn't want to give up the right to be alpha so easily.

By placing his head on Sonic's shoulder, he's asking for permission to…

'W..What are they doing?' Amy asked in her mind, as Instinct Sonic, reluantly, leaned his head onto Shadow's other shoulder, creating the trust bond and acceptance of his proposal.

When they parted, they both glared towards Amy, and smiled.

!

'W-what! What are you so surprised about! What is happening!?'

They…

They began to approach her, walking side by side the other, as if they were of one being.

They're Co-dominating

'…There….what… now?'

The fear in both hers and her other's voice scared the real Amy within, she felt her body slowly submitting, as Instinct Amy couldn't keep fighting her natural want to submit and be forgiven of her trespass against her pack.

She bowed before the two and pushed herself down to the ground, as the two hung over her, showing their dominance and aggressively giving an indirect performance of power and authority over her.

They are now… BOTH, the alphas… Until I decide to mate with one of them… they shall rule over the pack as one.

'…Tails never told me that…' Amy gulped inside her mind, cowering as they stood like threatening soldiers over her.

They seemed to forgive her though, as Sonic made the first move and bumped his head against hers, as Shadow followed and did the same.

You are ours.

Shadow stated, though he wanted to challenge Sonic that very moment to end the trust bond that he just made to Co-dominate with him, but he had no choice right now but to work with him, for the safety of the pack. Even it was only the three of them, instinct made it feel like it was a whole kingdom they were protecting.

So because of their instinct, it was a bigger ordeal.

Sonic just wanted to take her away and reunite with her, having missed her all this time and longed to claim her… upset he had kept her waiting so long that her frustration led her to make such a bold and hurtful statement.

More of mine then yours…

Sonic glared to Shadow, he was still the main Alpha, but he was just allowing Shadow to hold the 'Alpha' title and practice dominance over Amy so long as he obeyed his rule, still.

So technically, Sonic is still the First Alpha, and now Shadow is second in command.

Whoever… if Amy does mate with Shadow, he would then be Alpha, and probably demote Sonic while he's at it.

These turn of events have lead to a more secured pack, but a more wonderful realization.

'Wait… YOU decide the one and true alpha?... then doesn't that mean… they can't…' Amy tried piecing it together, and yippee'd inside her mind when she got it, jumping up and down.

'THEY CAN'T CLAIM YOU! YOU CLAIM THEM! AH-HA! SONIC DOESN'T HAVE TO STAY AWAY AND SHADOW DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIS INSTINCTS ACTING UP ANYMORE! I'M SAVED!'

(…are you really, Amy? This is the exciting end of 'Shadow's arc!' that I kinda rushed passed the kissing scene -_-; to my own defense, it's my story, and I don't really like the idea of anyone kissing Amy besides Sonic so there! xAx I hope you enjoyed it and were utterly and completely surprised by the new twist in fates! Stick around for-

Silver's Arc!

Coming soon! :DDDD)
