Chapter 11: Decode

Shadow's POV

How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win your losing fight
All the time.

Both I and Faker searched this forest, I don't know how many times. We stopped to take a break, when a familiar scent entered my nostrils. Oh, it was the scent of my one and only. The smell is of fear, but it's still fresh, she was here a little while ago. I sniffed the air again, and Faker looks at me, like I have another head attached.

Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides?
But you won't take away my pride.
No, not this time.
Not this time.

"Something wrong Shadow?" He asks, as I continue to sniff the air, I take a few steps forward, her scent becomes stronger, but as I continue taking steps, it begins to fade. I turn back to a confused sonic, who stood about twenty steps away from me. It was where he stood that her scent was the strongest. But how did she get out of here? Where is she? Her scent disappears the further I step away from that spot.

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well.
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know

I walked back to where Faker was standing, and my ear twitches when hear a squish noise. I hear Sonic laughing and Saying "Eew, I think you stepped in poop Shads!" I looked down, and true enough I stand in something. I lifted my foot, but this did not look like a dogs 'butt chocolate', no, it looked like a black purple ink, or something like that. I knelt down next to the little puddle of ink stuff, and dipped my finger into it. "Gross Shads!" The inky stuff that stayed on my finger looked quite runny. I brought my finger to my nose, and sniffed it. And I knew that smell anywhere. It smelled of blood, anger, lust, greed!

I flicked the inky fluid off my finger, and stood up. I clenched my fists as I looked towards the grey sky. "Mephiles!" I screamed, so loud I'm sure the gods would of heard me!

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue.
Just boiling in my blood.
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are,
If you're a man at all.
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own.
(I'm screaming, "I love you so.")
On my own.
(My thoughts you can't Decode)

"Shadow?" A hand was placed on my shoulder, and I glared at the one who owned the hand. "He has her! That perverted bastard has my lilac Rose!" I yelled, falling to my knees. I gripped the moss beneath me. I'd failed her. He has her, gods knows what he's doing to her, my poor, poor lilac rose. And what will he do when he finds out about the youth inside her? Gods, my blood boils just thinking about the torture he's putting her through!

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah.
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know.

"Don't worry Shadow, we'll find her. I know we will." "Ha! How can I believe that? For one we do not even know where he has taken her! I've failed her Sonic! And if we do find her, she'll probably want to die more than anything! Who knows what that, DEMON, is doing to her!" Just thinking of him touching her, in such vulgar ways, made me want to rip his head off and feed it do the deadly fish known as a Shark. "Shadow! We will find her! You just have to believe we will, you have to believe that she would want to live, and be happy with us again, please Shadow, for her?" I took a deep breath in through my mouth and out through my nose. He was right, I could not give up on her, I had to find her, not matter what. "No matter what, Blaze, I will find you, and hold you in my arms once again, and protect you, my lilac rose." When I stood up, I could of sworn I heard Faker say "Your Rose?" At the corner of my eyes, I could see him glare daggers at me, but when I turned around, his eyes had turned soft.

Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves.
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves.

"Where do you think we should start looking Shads?" I didn't know, but something told me to go back, and search the house Mephiles and his son once resided in. "Follow me." Faker nodded and with that, we ran back to the city, heading for the house that Silver died in.

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah.
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well.
I think I know.
I think I know.

There is something I see in you.
It might kill me.
I want it to be true.

Blaze's POV

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

"Yes, I do love you." I whispered to the male that lay over me. A grin came to his muzzle, and he kissed me, ever so softly. "That's all I ever wanted to hear." He said, and planted another kiss on my lips. He got off of me, and the bed. He stood next to the bed, I sat up, but she pushed me back down gently. "Stay love, rest." He cooed. I lay back, and he pulled the blankets over my worn out body. He lightly kissed my forehead, before whispering "Night love." He walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

It wasn't fully dark yet, but it was getting there. I then began to rethink about what had happened just now. Why did he just leave me alone? I was in my own little world until he pulled the blankets over me. What happened? I closed my eyes, and began to think of what happened just moments ago. "Well, my dear, I need an answer." He whispered, licking cheek. Images of my Silver love, and Shady friend filled my head, and the word I said was. "Yes."

My eyes became wide. I said that I loved him! But! I wasn't thinking at the time! I was thinking of Shadow! Shadow! Shadow! Shadow! How could I confuse him with Mephiles! I sat up in my bed, I was trying to hold in my screams, but in the end, I had to scream into the pillow. "How could this happen?" I don't love him. I hate him with a passion. I'm to young for all this! I'm to young!

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

I began sobbing uncontrollably. Throwing off the blanket, I stared at my scarred body. Gently I traced each bloody line on my stomach. These scars were not fresh, but the scab that grew over them was still blood red. "Please, please, someone get me out of here." I lowered my head, and the tears began to pour from my eyes, and land on my stomach. I need to get out of here. I don't want to be his, any longer. I don't want to be his pet. I don't want to be……………….. I just, Oh please Shadow, Sonic, someone, please, help me. I lay back down and curled up into a ball. I cried myself to sleep.

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...

Mephiles POV

These powers bleed your tears
You talk they scold your name
I'm staring down your fears
There's pleasure in this pain

Finally, she said it. Music, sweet music to my ears. I just can't wait. She's carrying MY son/daughter, hers and mine. Oh it will be a beautiful child. I know it. I decide to check on my beauty. As I opened the door, I saw her curled up, no blanket on her, she was shaking and whimpering, and muttering something. I sighed and walked over to her. I pulled the blanket over her, but not before taking a look at her naked body. Although her body is bruised and scarred, it's still gorgeous to my eyes. I'm so tempted to touch her, beautiful breasts. For a fourteen year old girl, she has developed very well! I kneel down, my hands begins to rub her side, up and down, it moves. She squirms a little mutters "-adow" Adow? Again she said the word, but this time, an Sh sound was in it Sh? adow? Shadow? Shadow!

Don't think you are alone
'Cause soon I think you'll find
I am the voice you hear
Screaming inside your mind

I've got to touch your mind
I hypnotize

She's thinking about Shadow?! Little whore! What would she be thinking of him for? I am the one she loves, not him! Or could it be, she wants him, to come for her? Hmph, well if that's so, then I guess I have no choice but to bring him to her. He won't save her, once I get him here, he'll wish he was never created by the insane professor!

Oh yes! I shall go out and look for him, and when he gets here, hmhmhmhm, lets just say, that if my little beauty watched, she would want to rip out her eyes. Hahahaha.

With one last stroke on her side, I kiss her cheek, lightly. I'll be back love. I whisper, earning a "Mrnmdnvm" From the kitten.

My ego pushes you
It's never satisfied
My will is cutting through
I see the truth inside

Don't think it's killing you
'Cause soon I think you'll find
You are the voice you hear
Screaming inside your mind

I've got to touch your mind
I hypnotize

I stood up, and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind me. I chuckled darkly, as I walked towards a little cabinet next to the television. I opened the little drawer and took out a key. "Heh." I walked over to the front door, slid the key into the lock and unlocked it.

Are you ready?

"Won't be long love." I whisper as if she was standing right there. I walked out and closed the door behind me, but not before locking it again. "Can't have her getting away can we?" I chuckled, walking down the mossy pathway, heading towards the city, once again. But in search for my look a like.

End Mephiles' POV (Song Mind Freak by Chris Angel)

End Chapter 11, I didn't know where I was going with all the songs. I know Missing is Blaze's theme song (most will agree, look it up on youtube) Same thing goes for Mephiles and Mind Freak. I don't know about Decode for shadow, but, I was listening to it at the time. Heh.

Well, I hope you enjoyed. R&R Please.
