CHAPTER 13
ABUSE
Meanwhile in the training arena, Shadow jumped back with a back flip to dodge the swing of Sky's scythe.
Sky gritted his fangs in frustration because of Shadow's swift movements. 'Why won't this bastard keep still?'
Shadow stood in a fighting stance and took out his machete. "Sky, I don't want to fight you, but what you've done to Rouge and Tonya is unforgivable!"
Sky sighed as he got prepared to attack him once again. "What? It's not my fault Rouge can't take the fact that I killed my own parents. She needs to deal with it like a big girl. Not a whiny brat."
Fueled by anger, Shadow couldn't help but to use his incredible speed to run up to Sky and kick him down onto the floor. "Shut up! Don't speak of Rouge that way! It's scum like you in the world that causes this kind of madness You're nothing but a monster!"
The bat suddenly began to laugh as he slowly got from the floor, "Heh, how ironic. It's funny...listening to the way you talk like that."
Shadow was now completely lost. He had no idea what he was talking about. "Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"I know your little secret Shadow the Hedgehog, or should I say Darkness?"
The ebony hedgehog's body froze as the bat spoke the tainted name of the demon that was once inside him.
Meanwhile somewhere in the Silver Fangs headquarters, Vector continued to run down the hallway in search of Kiba, but he feared that Kiba was too far from him to catch up to him. 'Damn!' He thought. 'What a perfect time for hide and seek, Kiba!' When he began to turn behind a corner of the hallway, he suddenly ran into someone and fell to the floor. He sat there on the floor in bemusement. "Ow! Hey you jerk! Watch where you're going?"
"Well excuse me for trying to rescue my own husband!" A familiar female voice shouted.
Vector recognized that voice anywhere. He then faced a light green female crocodile in surprise. "Oh my God! Margaret!"
The female crocodile winked at him, "Hey, hun. Long time no see eh?"
Back at the battle between Tonya and Kuroi, Tonya once again screamed in agony as Kuroi shot another arrow into her body.
The coyote licked the next arrow in her crossbow that she would shoot into Tonya. "I don't know about you Cat, but I'm enjoying this."
With exhaustion, Tonya stared at an arrow stabbed into her stomach while she panted. The pain was so unbearable, she could barely stand it. As she tried to talk, she had done nothing but cough until blood had risen from her mouth. She began to plead in her thoughts for someone to help her. 'Am I going to die? Oh, no! No! I can't die! Someone help me! Shadow! Espio! Vector! Someone!'
The day was still dark and rainy after the funeral of Tonya's beloved mother. The young Tonya continued to mourn over her mother's grave. She just knew that she would never forgive the ones who killed her sweet mother. She had found out a little after her mother's death that it was a gang of Street Punks that murdered her mother. While she was on her knees crying over her mother's grave, a purple male cat came over to her and rubbed her shoulder. She faced him with tears, "Daddy, I'll never get the chance to hug mommy ever again", she sniffed.
Her father sighed, picked her off of the ground and held his daughter in his arms lovingly. "Oh, sweetheart...we'll get through this mess...you'll see."

Days later after her mother's funeral, Tonya and her father never left the house. Tonya was trying to cope from her mother's death by staying locked in her room and her father always lied on the sofa drinking beer. Tonya had finally had the courage to come out of her room o see how her father was doing since she had thought he was doing far worse off than her. When she had came into the living room, she was almost struck by a flying beer bottle that fortunately missed her and shattered against the wall behind her. She turned to her father in panic, "Daddy!"
Her father lazily turned to her in annoyance, "Wha-what are you whining about?" He asked while he slurred his words.
In Tonya's mind, he was clearly drunk and it made her feel extremely uncomfortable to try to be around him. However, she wanted to help him to cope with the loss of his dear wife in a better way. She began to walk over to him very slowly, "Daddy?" She called. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine", he slurred.
By the way he had looked to her, he didn't look anywhere near the word fine. She walked closer to him and sat beside him on the sofa. "Don't worry, daddy", she had said in a worried voice. "Everything will get better. That's what you said right?" She was suddenly grabbed by her arm and thrown down onto the floor. She fell to the floor and wondered what was going on and what was happening. She looked and saw her father get off of the sofa and get on top of her. She gave her father a frightened look, "Daddy? Wha-what are you doing?" She quivered in uneasiness as he stroked her sides.
"Be a good girl and let daddy hold you...and love you."
She gasped as she felt the feel of his fingertips stroking her lower body. Tears appeared in her eyes because she was so frightened of the whole situation. She soon felt her white dress being lifted away from her legs. "Daddy? Daddy, please stop", she wept. "You-you're scaring me." Her whole world had then fell apart from there as she felt the worst pain of all. Much worse than losing her dear mother it seemed.

Years went by and Tonya was practically a woman, yet she was still trapped with her father in her own home. Her father's depression never went away. He kept drinking whenever he thought of his beloved wife which lead him to a path of a mad and violent drunk. Tonya was mentally torn from the inside out. With her father's violent and sexual abuse towards her. She had thought, there was no hope for her. She thought she could never go on in life.
One day, her father was drunk and feeling violent again against her. Once he was finished beating her with the buckle of his belt for no reason, he slowly walked back upstairs while falling up the stairs a few times before successfully making it to his bedroom. She remained in the corner her father made her go up in and stared at her cuts and bruises that he had made on her fragile body. She was then startled when a shot was heard from upstairs. She knew something terrible had happened. She quickly got up from the floor and ran upstairs to look for her father.
When she came inside his bedroom, she saw his body laying on the floor with a handgun laying beside his bleeding head. Her eyes widened in shock and wondered how to exactly feel as she saw her father dead on his bedroom floor.
Tonya struggled to get off of the floor, but she was in so much pain, she could barely maintain herself from panicking. 'No!' She screamed in her head. 'I...I can't...die here!' She looked up at the black coyote with tears in her eyes as she saw her aim the crossbow at her throat.
The coyote smirked and kept her finger on the trigger. "This will sure enough kill you. Heh, goodnight, kitty! Have a nice long cat nap...in Hell!"
Once she had pulled the trigger to her weapon, the arrow had sunk into her throat with force. The sharp point of the arrow pierced through her neck like a dagger. She gasped for air as blood overflowed from her mouth and ran down her neck and onto the clean white floor. 'No!' She sobbed in her thoughts, 'Vector!'
