Sonic Who?
Tainted Love: Part 2
They both had lost track of time. The Guardian and Chastity had traveled deep into the caves of the mountain passing by beautiful sights and ancient relics of the past. Chastity listened to everything that The Guardian told her amazed by his knowledge of such things. She saw artifacts and murals of an ancient civilization that looked somewhat like The Guardian. He explained to her some of the stories that were on the artifacts and whatever he knew about it. Chastity felt like a child again going through the caves and seeing so many wonderful things. She wanted to tell the world about this lost civilization; she wanted to let everyone know about it.
The Guardian enjoyed Chastity's company. He smiled at her child-like curiosity and the energy she had when he told her a story. He enjoyed carrying her from one place to another and loved touching the soft skin on her arms. The torch lighting in a few of the caves gave Chastity a more mysterious yet beautiful look that only caused The Guardian's love for her to grow. He wanted to kiss her so badly and show her the exquisite sights of the floating island. But he knew that he would be brash for doing such a thing and didn't want to upset Chastity... but his heart yearned for her... he didn't want be left alone once she left the island.
The last room the two had gone to was The Guardian's chamber. It was much smaller than the other caves they had visited. It consisted of lit torches on the walls lighting the room, a small clear blue pool in the center, and stone shelves along the walls with all different types of exotic objects on them perhaps from outside. The Guardian and Chastity landed at the side of the pool and Chastity gazed around the small cozy room. She glanced at a few of the items The Guardian had on the shelves and gently touched a few leaving her in awe. The Guardian watched Chastity smiling and had a great urge to wrap his arms around her... But he didn't. He didn't want to alarm her too much so he remained silent as Chastity continued to look.
"These items you have here are wonderful." Chastity said as she walked back towards The Guardian.
"Yeah well... I just like to take home small things that looks nice to me, just to give me something to do around here." The Guardian said looking down at the ground.
Chastity smiled at him as she approached The Guardian taking another look around the cave. The Guardian was having a hard time restraining himself. He wanted to reach out and touch Chastity but he didn't want to be too hasty in his behavior. He needed a way to come on to her yet not be so obvious at the same time. Suddenly the smell of Chastity's perfume slipped across his nose. Taking in a long sniff of it, The Guardian's senses went slightly numb for a few seconds. He had a moment of bliss inside of his head where Chastity was in his arms and they were lying together peacefully in a field full of wildflowers and tiny butterflies. The wind blew lightly as Chastity slept silently in The Guardian's arms and he stroked her hair lightly with a satisfying smile.
But he dream came to an abrupt end with a loud snapping noise right in front of his face. His eyes blinked twice before he was back in the dimly lit cave with Chastity waving a hand in front of his face.
"Are you ok?" she asked looking into The Guardian's eyes. "You seemed to have drifted off there for a second."
The Guardian looked down at Chastity not sure of what to say... Then words blurted out of his mouth not seeming to have any particular relevance with each other.
"Well I was just... outside, the field... I guess it was just..."
The Guardian began to turn red in the face quickly as he felt his body heat up. But he heard Chastity chuckle lightly and then a soft hand gently glide across his left cheek as the bat walked by him. Chastity's footfalls slowly faded away behind him as she walked back to the main cavern. The Guardian was stiff and unable to move for his feelings had a stronghold on his body. The gentle touch of Chastity somehow turned on a great urge to declare his love for her. But how would she take it? Would she run? Would she hate him forever?
The Guardian was too confused as to what to do so he slowly walked out into the main cavern. Chastity was making her way back towards the stone walkway by walking along the shoreline of the lake. The Guardian's thought raced throughout his mind. He wanted to think of the right thing to say but the possibilities of her turning him away were too great. He began to pace along the shoreline deep in thought when a tiny child-like voice spoke to him softly.
"Why does one wait?" the voice echoed softly in his mind.
The Guardian looked up and quickly looked around and then at the Master Emerald.
"Don't let her get to you." he thought.
The Guardian continued to brainstorm when the voice spoke to him again.
"Go and seek what you want..."
He kept walking determined to ignore the voice.
"You know you want her, so go and pursue her." the voice spoke again.
"Why do you want to help me?" The Guardian asked keeping his voice low.
"Why are you so afraid of her? She does not hate you... nor does she want to beat you. She is only kind and lonely... like yourself."
"And how would you know?"
"Feared Chaos can see her heart through her eyes... she longs for comfort... comfort that can only come from you. Give her what she longs for... you know you want to."
"And if she hates me?"
"She wants it... she will not tell you but she wants your comfort."
The Guardian simply rolled his eyes at Feared Chaos' accusation. He knew that it was all a trick and that Chastity really didn't want him that way.
"You're about as low as they get Chaos. Quit using me." The Guardian replied walking along shore of the lake.
There was a few seconds of silence as The Guardian continued to walk along the shoreline. He figured that Feared Chaos finally decided to shut up with her nonsense. He watched Chastity walk onto the stone walkway and then stopped to stare at the Master Emerald. The Guardian wanted to say something else to the bat but his mind was too cluttered for any clear thoughts to actually reach him. His mixed emotions ran throughout his body as he tried desperately to think of the right words to say but nothing relevant came to mind.
"Ok enough of this," The Guardian thought. "I have to say something to her. Just standing around and thinking isn't going to do anything."
After taking in a deep breath and swallowing his fears and worries, The Guardian boldly walked along the shoreline towards Chastity. He heart raced faster and faster with every step he took, but he drowned the fear with each breath of air he breathed in. Finally he was almost there; he could smell Chastity's perfume which suddenly relaxed his body and mind. Suddenly he was right behind the bat, his breath coming and going loudly. Chastity turned around curiously and smiled at The Guardian.
"Oh! Hello there." she said brightly with a smile. "Is there any place you want to take me?"
"This is it." The Guardian thought. "I have to take action and whatever I do I can't hold back... no... I won't hold back."
The red echidna swallowed loudly breathing hard afterwards. He clenched his fists causing his arm muscles to move a bit. Chastity stepped back a bit worried if The Guardian was ok. But before she could even ask, he slowly held his arms up towards her gently grabbing onto her arms. She looked down at his gloved hands and smiled nervously. In a split second Chastity and The Guardian were face to face as the echidna wrapped his arms around her. The bat was going to ask what was wrong with him but her lips were covered by his too quickly for the words to escape.
She began to panic and struggled to break free but The Guardian's strong grip against her was overwhelming. Chastity squirmed and let out muffled screams but that didn't stop The Guardian from kissing her. Seconds later the bat was finally able to push herself away. She breathed in the air baffled by The Guardian's actions, but the echidna himself felt a strange sensation going through his body.
"This... feeling. It's... it's strange. Yet... it feels... wonderful."
The Guardian stared into Chastity's eyes...
"...I must have more." he thought desperately.
The echidna reached out for Chastity hastily but the bat took off into the air in a panic.
"What's wrong with you?!" she asked as she hovered over The Guardian.
The echidna didn't reply. Instead he flew up and tried to catch Chastity but she flew for the main entrance quickly. The stone doorway was just yards from her when suddenly The Guardian teleported in her path. She tried to stop but Chastity ended up in The Guardians arms he held onto her tightly. The bat scream as they were teleported into The Guardian's chamber with Chastity on her back and the echidna on top of her at the edge of the small pool. Chastity screamed and pushed at her captor but he simply over powered her holding her arms down. The Guardian hungrily kissed Chastity as a tear fell out of her eye. He then struggled with the bat a bit and finally ripped her shirt open....
Chastity's scream echoed throughout the entire cavern.
