Chapter 10

Accused

"Wh…what is this?" he questioned.

Sonic stood up quickly and he formed a look of sorrow, 'I…can explain."

"Explain? Oh yeah! Hell yeah! You got 20 seconds to explain why you're fucking Shadow!" he pointed at Shadow, "and how long has this been going on?!"

"a month, maybe," he answered truthfully.

"you two have been dating each other for a month! I knew you like Shadow, but not like this!"

Sonic closed his eyes, "I'm sorry I lied."

"Don't blame him," Shadow ordered and sat up from the couch, "it's my fault I'm sorry."

Sonic swiftly turned around, "no shads! It's mine. I should've told him when I had the chance, but I didn't," he reassured.

"they're all going to know," he continued, "everyone will."

Sonic turned to face Knuckles long and hard, "you wont tell, will you?"

"Oh man," Knuckles said and he rubbed his head with a groan, "fine, but only if Shadow can answer the questions I have for him and truthfully!"

Shadow nodded slowly, afraid of what the questions consist of, but he had to answer them. For sonic!

Sonic walked up to Shadow and sat on the couch beside him.

"Alright first things first, Sonic told me you saw Yasha. You said that it felt real and when you said that what exactly did you mean by that?" Knuckles questioned and Sonic looked at Shadow, waiting.

"I could just feel him like he was really here," he answered.

"Alright, how many people before you disappeared?"

"About 14, but they all lived."

"Well not anymore," Knuckles said and Shadow's body shook.

"What do you mean?!" Sonic shouted.

"Just yesterday all 14 of them died and more people vanished. Yet Shadow's still here. What did you see in the dream Shadow?"

"Yasha, I think. A gag and darkness. That's all why?" he questioned and Knuckles sighed.

"the gag was barbed wire. The 14 victims had traces of barbed wire markings in their skin as well as and we found Yasha's ashes."

Shadow shot up from the couch and he slammed his fist on the table, "what are you saying? His body was found, but doesn't explain the 14 murders. They got to have a new leader! If all 14 victims are dead and I'm still alive then what does that mean towards me? Does this mean I'm next!"

Knuckles narrowed his eyes, "no," he started, "it means you're involved with the murders."
