-Flight of Passion-

Chapter 10: Relapse

"Come on in," Linda said with much empathy. Rouge walked in slowly, ears drooping downward as she stepped inside the one bedroom apartment. It was a very quaint and small living space; cobalt blue tulips were arranged in a vase on a small square mahogany table in the middle living room. In fact all of the wooden furniture was mahogany in color and shag carpet of the color, sea foam green covered the floor. On the walls inviting color of the purest aquamarine, reminiscent of Rouge's eyes. There were doors to the left that were mahogany that lead to the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom of the house.

A small green velvet couch, the shade of the floor, was adjacent to the entertainment system, which hadevery electronic that you could imagine. Linda looked over Rouge's shoulder and saw the tape she mentioned on the phone. "Hey, I think you should get some rest ok? We will deal with that," Linda pointed to the tape and motioned her to give it to her which Rouge reluctantly did, "Tomorrow Morning, Ok?" Rouge nodded, she knew that Linda only had her best intentions at heart. "Ok, where do I sleep?"

Meanwhile, Shadow arrived at his estate on the far Upper Eastside of the city. It was a beautiful almost mansion-like 4 bedroom 3 bath, brick home. He drove up the long driveway, parking his bike near the onyx dragon fountain that was placed in the middle of the large front yard. As he opened his crimson doors to the foyer, he noticed all off the lights were off in the house. Dismissing it as a fault of the butler, he clapped his hand turning on the lights. What he saw would make any other scream in utter horror at the sight.

The beautiful white marble flooring was stained with pouring blood. He looked over slightly to the left following the source of the trial to find his servant's heard positioned on a sliver serving platter basting in a pool of blood and maggots, that were proceeding to fall from the poor victims eyes. Shadow stepped over slowly shielding his nose from the strong stench of the sight, even though it was to no avail. He was surprised he didn't smell it before he came in. He examined the head, which was accompanied by a soupspoon, blood being inside it. He touched the blood, which was still bright red. "This just happened, she's still here?" he thought.

He looked on following the trail of blood up the wall and up to the ceiling. Shadow almost keeled over after seeing his Butler's body impaled on the chandelier, his genitalia cut from his body and chopped into pieces and each piece was delicately placed on each bulb of the light fixture. As the blood on the bulbs dried due to the heat, the shadows cast an eerie pink light in the shape of the drippings. Shadow threw up slightly in his mouth after seeing such a sick display. He looked back down, spitting at the floor. "What the fuck is wrong with that bitch?!" he thought. He then noticed a tape on the table by the front door. He walked over and picked it up, looking around cautiously. It said, "Play Me." He then proceeded to the untainted living room. He walked over to his VCR and pushed in the tape, thanking the heavens that the other workers that he hired were off today. He grabbed the remote from his glass table, clicked on the TV, and sat on the black leather couch. The tape started to play.

There was Jade, sitting in a chair with a blank gray background, she smiled deviously as she started to speak. "Hello babe, how are you?" she said cheerfully. Shadow grunted in disgust. "I know ya just probably grunted at me. Well babe I figured that I would have to do this as a sort of insurance policy," Jade flicked her braids as anger built in Shadow.

Jade giggled and continued, "Oh baby, don't be so mad, he probably stole from you anyway, LOL! Any ways, there is a method to my madness. As you know I do not share very well, and I need you in my life so I have to do what's necessary. Besides, you really think that I would just give up the chaos emeralds to you, when I got the government by the balls? No, no that just won't do…" She leaned into the camera smiling wider, "Besides I know something you did, I had to get you back some how. So here are my demands, you surrender and be my love, and I will spare your 'so called new love', ok?"

Shadow scoffed at the thought, "You won't even get to her in time" She continues, "I'll tell you a secret, I don't think you'll have a choice in the matter. I mean I know you still want me, we sealed that in a kiss. And the way things are going I don't think she'll want to be yours anymore." Shadow furrowed his brow at the comment. He paused the tape and thought. All of a sudden he realized, "The night at the club! She..She…taped us, that bitch!" He started the tape again, furious that he didn't catch it.

"I'm supposing now you've realized how I've setup this little game. Nevertheless if you don't do what I say I'll still kill her and how you act will determine if lives of the innocent here will still live, I have no problem dying if I can't have you babe." "So why don't you just die!" he yelled to the scream, he then punched into the glass table, shattering it to pieces on the marble floor. He put his head in his hands and muttered to himself, "Why can't I kill you…" Jade sits back in the chair her back arched as she yawns a little, seemingly carefree. "You got a day, babe, to find her and try to make her want ya. On Friday though, I expect you to come crawling back, its hopeless to resist. Besides, I'm like way cuter! LOL!"

The tape abruptly ends, the static sounds annoying him as he turns it off. He gets up and walks to his cell, which he dropped at the table near the front door. He dials a number and listens to the busy tone. "Hello, Emergency services, how may direct your call?" said a female voice. "Get me Knoxville," Shadow says harshly. "Hold please." Knoxville awakened from the sound of the phone on his desk. He quickly answered, "Shadow?" "Knoxville, there's been a murder, this case is more personal. I need you to mobilize the soldiers and special ops, Friday is going to be the day. Could you have the coroner's come to my house?" "Absolutely, but if you don't mind me asking, what has made this more personal, other than the info Linda gave me this shouldn't be…" "Well Knoxville, we are dealing with a serial killer psychopath, who just happens to be my ex-girlfriend." "WHAT! Why didn't you say that before!" "I didn't think she would go this far…and it will get worse if we don't act quickly."

The next morning, Linda walked into the living room stretching in her blue and white "hot Stuff" pajamas. "Good Morning Star Shine, the Earth says Hello!" she said giggling at the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reference. She looked over to Rouge who was sitting up on the couch staring blankly into space. Linda's sliver eyes looked at Rouge with worry, but then brighten as she quickly ran over and jumped on her. "HEY BIG SISTA! Come on buck up!" Rouge turned and smiled weakly to Linda, "Let's watch this now." Linda looked to see Rouge hold the tape.

The TV flashed, showing the dark Jazz club. "Hey? Isn't that near Station square?" Linda questioned. Rouge just stared and didn't respond. The camera seemed to go in and out of focus and blurred until it stopped at the front door and quickly focused on a glowing Shadow and Jade. Linda smiled a little, "Good that lil bitch is getting arrested…" Rouge looks at the girl who was crying, "Hey that's that girl from the BMG?" They continue to look on. Jade then kisses Shadow. Rouge gasped in shock and disbelief. Shadow starts to calm down and Rouge's anger builds as she sees him enjoying the kiss. Linda curses under her breath, "I knew I should have went with him… Now I have to tell her the truth"

She puts her hand on Rouge's shoulder and Rouge quickly brushes it aside. The tape stops and the sound of static resonates in the air. "You need to get ready for your date, Linda. I need to go, I have to think." As Rouge stood Linda tries to stop her, "But don't you want to talk about it? I mean I need to tell you," "NO! I just need to be alone right now." Rouge walked out the apartment, leaving Linda furious. "Got damn it Shadow, what da fuck you was thinkin'?" Rouge took flight and flew to a museum. She sat on the ledge of building, staring at the people walking past. She notices the signs of the showing of a newly found amethyst. She smiles, she knew that it would make her feel a little better.

Later on that evening, Linda and Ed met at a newly opened Chinese restaurant in downtown. As they waited on their orders, they struck up a conversation. "Thank you for taking me out tonight, Ed." "Heh, I'm just glad that you came, I would do anything to see you smile." They both blushed and Linda moved her hand to touch his. Ed smiled and realized that he wanted to ask her something. "Oh yeah! Where was Rouge today? She didn't come in for work." Linda sighed. "I'll fill you in."

As they finished the last few bites of the meal, Linda told him all about what has occurred. "Oh wow," Ed sat back in his chair, tapping his foot, "No wonder the G.U.N soldiers were mobilized today? You think this Jade person will be trying to attack Rouge?" Linda sighed, " I wouldn't be surprised, but really I just think Jade wants Shadow and now that Rouge is hurt, it would be easy to break them up. However what I don't get is, How come Shadow doesn't just kill her, why is she so persuasive to him?" "Yeah," Ed leaned in, "That is a good question. He's the Ultimate Life form, what would make him stay with a person like that, or any other person for that long? He isn't dedicated to anyone else like that except Maria."

All of a sudden a loud ear-piercing explosion came from the front doors of the restaurant, knocking the couple onto the floor. Jade rushed in as the inhabitants of the restaurant ran screaming passed and around her. She pulled out one of her katana blades from the holster on her back. She pulled Ed by his hair and slapped him with the sword. "LOOK INTO MY EYES! Where is darling Rouge?" Ed looked up and his eyes widened at her. "Your so beautiful, but I don't know…" Linda moved slightly, her left leg was bleeding and ankle was twisted slightly. She looked up slightly just to see Jade pulling the wounded pig up to her face, she spat in it.

"Stupid pig," Jade immediately sliced Ed's head off and threw the head to the side as the body limply dropped spewing blood all over the already maroon floor. Jade ran her finger along her blade, pushing the blood off with her finger, smiling evilly. She then walked up to the injured Linda. "Ah, so Miss Linda, the one that spied on me. Don't be shocked that I know. We pretty much kept tabs on G.U.N. since I had my lil Crush on Shadow. LOL you look so helpless, what do ya want a cookie?"

Jade laughed hysterically as Linda gathered the energy to say something. "Where are your other goons, where's the rest of the BMG?" "I killed them, right after they refused to deliver the tape to Shadow's. My, my good help is hard to find, isn't?" "But I thought they were your friends?" Linda protested. "Ha ha, you really thought that? I was just using the poor fools, besides, Jodi needed to die after fucking Shadow, and they always kept trying to undermine me. Any ways enough with the 20 questions. Where is Rouge?" "I don't know guess you have to kill me." "No, I like you Linda I shall spare you. You shall serve as a reminder." Jade grinned as she started to leave. "Stupid Emo Whore!" Linda mumbled. "Same to you Jack ass!" Jade says. Linda grunted as she pulled herself up. "I guess she didn't notice the tracker I put on her."

Rouge dropped down from the ceiling, quickly avoiding the laser triggers as she rushed toward the prize. She quickly knocked out the two guards and rushed to the glass. She started to cut into the display case in a full circle, tapping it in to fall inside. She reached for the sparkling jewel. "Heh, five years and I still got it. I don't need love, jewels will never lie to me." She started to fly up towards her exit when she heard his voice. "15 minutes, a new record." She swiveled around to see him walk out the darkness the ruby and onyx fur glistening in the moonlight. "What are you doing, My fallen angel?"

Rouge's platinum blonde hair and tan skin sparkled in the moonlight as she floated, her dark wings spread wide and ready to make a quick escape. However in the moment she couldn't move, the rock in her hand was meaningless to her now, it was her love, but he hurt her. "Let me talk to you…" "No" she said softly. "Please Rouge it's…"

"NO!" she cuts him off, feeling the pain of her heart sting through body, "Stop lying to me! You never loved me…" "NO! I do love you! Only you!" Shadow pleaded to her, he did not want to lose the only thing that made him smile. He had before he didn't want it to happen again. "I can't deal with this now, Please just leave me alone!" She quickly flew away before he could protest. Tears filled her eyes as she let go of the stone.

"She dropped the amethyst...Damn you, Jade. You've taken everything away from me…"
