Assassin's Love Chapter 11: Unknown
To somewhat get what kind of music Shadow was playing in this chappy, here's the link, go to youtube and after, (watch?v=76Xb2q_kZ84), a very good song.
Two days had passed since the discovery, and Shadow wanted to leave soon. But the stinging pain he left made him think otherwise. He decides to stay a little longer to redeem himself with Amy.
Shadow confines himself in his room and listens to some classical music and he hears depressing music coming out from his gramophone.
"Ugh…"
He lets it play and lies on his back, looking up into the ceiling, thinking about absolutely nothing, nothing at all. He looks at the white walls of his room and holds his notebook close to his chest.
Back with Amy, she lies on the floor, reading on the Holocaust and playing with her pet. She then realizes that it has gotten pudgier than before. She looks at her pet and grabs her to inspect.
"Hmm, you're so fat, Marshy. But you haven't eaten in three days."
She feels Marshy's soft body and then feels her tummy.
"You're having babies soon…" She said with some happiness in her voice. "Aw, mommy is proud of you!"
She then sighs and leaves her pregnant pet alone. She pulls her knees to her chest and she thinks,
Everyone is moving on with their lives…sheesh, even Marshy is.
She goes back to reading and she then hears a depressing tune from a distance. She tries her best to ignore it by reading her book "Auschwitz" and looking at the incriminating pictures. She tears up a bit when she sees a photograph of a little Jewish girl being taken from her family at the trains.
"I understand how you must have felt, because I am going through all that you probably are. Being tested like a guinea pig and then left for dead…"
She quickly turns the page and she looks at a picture of them being liberated by the Red Army.
(A/N: Those who have no clue on the Holocaust, its one of the worst things imaginable. It was a crime committed against humanity and its just plain horrific, I have no words on how to describe it. I am writing a paper on it…I cry while doin it.)
She gets up and walks around, feeling the need to do so. She walks down the hallway and she just walks with sheer loneliness. She looks down the bleak halls of their floor and thinks,
"Man, why am I in such a bleak, horrible place?"
She keeps walking and looks at the side windows of the hallways. She looks down the stairway and she sees or hears nothing, nothing but sheer quiet. No footsteps, no voices, no breathing, nothing. It was lifeless in that very corridor.
"Geez, reading so much on the holocaust makes me feel like one of them right here, right now."
She looks around and she feels somewhat like she was trapped, being used and felt hopeless. She sighs and walks away and she remembers those painful words that were given.
STAY AWAY FROM ME!
She wanted to breakdown, but not yet. She didn't want to cry for some reason. She walks around a little longer and then looks out the windows. It begins to rain. It was quite eerie and she didn't like it. She walks off and she then hears the music. It came from Shadow's room.
(I'm listening to Anne Frank: The Whole Story Soundtrack: Epilogue, quite sad.)
She hears the song play and she walks towards the music. She stands behind the wall by Shadow's door and she listens to the song being played as Shadow lied down and let the music play on. Amy was brought to tears by the song and realized that Shadow had feelings as well, and she thought to herself,
Wow…this must be so hard on him…I don't want him to, leave me, alone. I want to be with him and have a whole new life. Oh Shadow, if you only knew and realized what are you leaving behind…
She cries as the sad symphony comes to a close. When the last note of the symphony played, she wipes her tears and then a song came in, a jovial sounding one. She sucks up her sadness and decides to give her ebony friend a visit in his room. She enters and before letting herself in fully, she knocks on the door.
"Knock, knock." She said, with some amount of jovial in her voice. Shadow's ears perk up and he gets up. He notices Amy, her face flushed and her eyes somewhat red.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked, concerned.
She looks at him and she then realizes what he talks about.
"Oh, well, I just thought of something, that's all. What's with the records?"
"Thought it would give me some leisure, maybe help me coping with leaving."
"Oh…" She replied quietly. She looks around, feeling awkward, and she then asks, "Well, want to go on our boards? Just for the sake of fun?" she then flashes a small smile.
"That's a smile worth a thousand words. I'm truly gonna miss that."
"Well, come on! Let's go and have some fun!" She chirped, for once.
Shadow nods and they walk out. Shadow walks out without his trademark trenchcoat and scopes, he just walks out with a white wifebeater and khaki colored cargos.
"We going?"Amy asked. Shadow nods and they walk out. Shadow just sits by a legde of the building as Amy got on her board.
"Where's yours?"
"I didn't feel like bringing my board, I prefer to watch at this moment."
"O…k."
She goes on her board and was off. Shadow just lies on his back, watching Amy move gracefully move on her board. He didn't want to leave either, but for the sake of his life and all of mobian and human kind, he had to go, and trying to have Amy escape. He takes out a file from his trench coat and he looks at the name.
Josef Mangle
He opens it and he felt sick to his stomach as he read the horrific information on this person.
"A human? How low will they go?!" Shadow snarls to himself as he kept reading. He reads…
My mission is to terminate these disgusting creatures they call 'mobians' and see what makes them tick, by sterilizing them and dissecting their bodies. I am legalized to do mobian and human experimentation and I have very little remorse at this. They should be taught something, I am here to do that.
Shadow was disgusted at this and then sees pictures. They were incriminating as they revealed dead males, deprived of their life. Thin and frail they were and other pictures showed this 'doctor' smiling as he dissects a human female. He cringes in disgust as he kept going looking at these horrific scenes. Then a slip falls out, stating,
Hello Dr. Mangle,
I am asking a favor of you. Once Amy is no longer alive, feel free to come by and take her body so you can see the way of the scabs and then send the information to us, for this is a huge piece of history we are making.
Eggman
Shadow looks on in horror and cannot believe what he was reading. He gets up and goes under a shady tree. He had a lot on his mind right now. Amy looks on from a distance.
"Gee, what's holding him?" she asked herself. She goes towards him and she gets off her ref board.
"What's with you?" she asked, looking at the black hedgehog's face.
"Hmm?"
"I said, what is wrong with you? For the first time, you don't want to go boarding, and now you're just sitting there being blue, and usually that's for business work. But not this."
"I'm just thinking, about after all this. The future of this, if I leave now."
Amy's ears flatten down and she sits by him,
"Well, I will miss you that is one." She said as she took his hand, like a vet holding a bird with a broken wing, gently.
"There's more to it than you missing me. I will be back, you know." He said. She sighs and then gives another reason.
"Well, I have no one to speak to."
"Probably Scourge will help you on that." Shadow replied.
"He won't" Amy replied, "You understand what I am going through, he just gives me my fix of the day."
"Any other reasons? Because I am still leaving." Shadow replied. Amy looks on and says,
"Ugh, I will probably regret this for an eternity." Amy mumbled to herself. She sighs and sucks it up.
"Ok, there's a major reason I don't want you to go." She began, with her voice breaking and fresh tears coming out of her eyes. She gets on her knees and tries to hold herself together.
"I don't want you to go beca-cause, I…I JUST DON'T OK!"
Shadow looks on and sees she's not explaining everything.
" There's more to it, isn't there? Tell me the truth. I doubt that this is even the real answer."
"I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE. I WILL BE ALONE, I HAVE NO ONE, AND YOU DON'T EITHER. WE HAVE ONE ANOTHER AND I SEE YOU AS SOMEONE IMPORTANT TO ME…Please…don't go and leave me in this place. It's hell here, I never want to see toy leave."
"That's a huge lie and you know it."
"IT IS NOT!"
"IS SO! I PROBABLY DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THIS!"
"I LOVE YOU OK! I DON'T WANT YOU GONE…PLEASE." Amy begins crying every tear she could make and the pain she felt. Shadow just looks on in shock and yet, he felt a small pang of happiness that his feelings for her weren't in vain.
"Why do you hide this from me, it was obvious, Amy?" Shadow said as he holds his comrade in his arms as she cried on and on. He presses his chin on her head as she sheds her tears.
"I…I didn't expect for you to do something so rash…please, reconsider." She asks, looking down as tears fall down her cheeks. Shadow gently cups her face and makes her look at him, and then leans towars her into a passionate kiss.
OK, so far, we are now reaching the end, but not without a lemon and not without a battle to the death. A fight for all living things and themselves, what will happen??? Find out soon. Back to my 'cell' I go.
