Fallen to the pits of Hades
Chapter 3 – Feeling a little Cobalt
Both hedgehogs lay separated now; still recovering from the recently occurred and the elder panting heavily despite the breathing issue no longer a concern. She lies near him, bliss imprinted on her face and ignoring the chilled tang touching her naked fur. Her mind's eye constantly draws back to those endless moments with him, the sense of closeness they hadn't achieved in so long.
'That was…. amazing, you really are the Ultimate Life form aren't you, lord?' she suddenly questions, head tilted to him with a mischievous look of contentment.
'You doubted me? I was made perfection you know!' Shadow replies, fading pride bristling up again. He hadn't been considered that in so long but its what his creator called him. Despite rampant stiffness mostly in his legs, he rolls back over to her and puts his head on hers and resumes his state of relaxation. She purrs to his resumed touch, energy leaving her within the few strangled seconds as her bangs slide away.
'Oh as if I could ever doubt you' she responds, eyes half closed as she clutches one of his paws tight, pulling it onto her stomach in demand rather than request.
'Do you think I'll get pregnant this time? I know I didn't the last time….' Shadow looks at her with a bemused look as he watches her move his paw across the light satin he had investigated so physically not long ago.
'It's possible I guess, just because I've been a Vampire much longer than you doesn't mean I know everything, we'll probably have to wait and see my dear. Also, what do you mean last time?' He looks at her confused with his other arm wrapped around her shoulders holding her in a cuddle against his stomach.
'You don't remember? It's when I was still…. down there, you were so deep in depression you didn't even know what you were doing.' She trails slightly, almost like the memories still bore a painful tang. Her Lord nuzzles her fur gently, urging her to continue.
'You came down one night, stared at me like I was going to attack you then you suddenly started touching me, kissing my fur, touching me everywhere, I'd of screamed if I could. You went straight through that spear you'd left in me like a ghost or something, then went onto to rape me… God I know now you didn't know what you were doing but I was screaming in my head, crying as I could feel everything but do nothing about it. When you went, I feel contaminated, violated, everything but what I did before, I wanted to kill you so badly, make you pay for it but all I could do is curl up in my mind and weep.'
He looks at her, stunned, he had told her long ago about his depression but most of the memories of it were littered with spaces where nothing was written.
'I… I didn't know, if I'd known I'd hurt you or done anything I'd never have p-pushed you so hard, can you ever forgive me?' He eyes litter with tears, remorse over something he had no control over. His hug around her tightens as he buries his head into her fur, mumbles of sorry being blurted out at random intervals. Her eyes narrow the slightest fraction as she pulls her paw from his, the one still sealed in bandage and strokes his spines, astounded by his sudden change in mood but it only further proved how much he cared, really cared.
'Shadow, its ok, it's ok don't worry I'd forgive you without a second thought.' Twisting in his arms, she lies on his lap and hugs him back, whispering constant reassurance into his ears of the broken down Hedgehog. He quickly responds, lessening his whimpering, starting to yell at himself of how foolish he must look in front of her, he should be strong; he's over that depression, she saved him!
'Sides, deep down you probably knew and that's why you let me go, if you never did we'd have never shared that moment would we?' She smiles at him, he looks at her puzzled for a moment then his memory shifts back into focus from the previous loss of strengthened mind past.
'Is somebody wanting to increase those odds of having a child or is just too damn hooked on her favourites Hedgehog to tell the difference?' He smirks, his eyes lit anew in a blaze of fiery essence as he gazes up to her, the still revealed body holding its own light of perfection against his only presumed own. She giggles only to respond and leans forward to snuggle into his fur.
'I swear you're a mind reader sometimes' she comments, wrestling a few fur strands with her tongue that she encounters on his shoulder. He looks to her with a grin, back with his mind raw and stable. Putting his arms back around her, he savours the feeling of being so close to her, making the occasional groan to respond to her insistent damp touch on his fur and her own paws moving across his shoulder and neck in tune.
'What do I need to do to entice you off me my ever attached bundle of thorns?' Raven and rune questions, half closed eyes watching carefully the object of his affection carefully latched onto his arm. She glances up to him, tilting her head slightly to make her quaff fall across an eye.
'Promise you won't take too long maybe? I don't want to get lonely while you're away…' Her eyes flicker for a moment as her eyes shift to a sullen expression for added effect.
'Don't worry, its not too long for your nap time anyway so I shouldn't be very long till I'm back but this is almost my second week, you can't help ALL my hunger no matter what you try.' He grins with the last remark, fangs in sight like they most often are and ears flattened to enhance his infamous demonic expression. Snatching his arm away the moment she lets go, he leans over to kiss her quickly on the cheek.
'I hope you're willing to wait as long as I am' he whispers into her ear. With that, the Vampire of older age is gone in true characteristic fashion to get his favourite shoes left by the throne from the day's dawn and past her once more to leave for a much wanted, no, much needed meal.
His cerise however doesn't hang about on the bed, as he'd probably expect her to. Quickly scooping up her discarded clothing, she puts them back on taking care to make sure everything was right again knowing to her appearance, for this, is everything.
She pauses momentarily to listen, ears twitching to be certain somebody isn't around, satisfied, she quickly makes her way to the one place her mate refuses to go to unless he has to.
The Dungeon also known oh so fondly as the 'Soul Prison'.
She quickly darts down the stairwell leaving the faint sounds of her raw flesh touching the unfeeling rock carved with the foot paws of many past. Her dead heart beat still flickers with the drum of worry, unease, passing around the taken life force of another which has kept her alive in this stasis of non-living for as long as she awoke.
"You don't know where I go; you don't know that I'm an angel with a dirty face in the morning. You don't know I've been on the town low, you don't know that I'm, listening to the moment"
Her paw trails across the damp ridden walls, guiding her step to the mostly enraptured darkness kept for all who dwell as the voices of old song fade with every step.
"You don't know where I go…"
She touches down on the floor in suited silence, respectful for all those who dwell here lying there in full knowing but unable to be perhaps? Her expression is unreadable, solemn yet; right now she looks deader than ever in her waking gaze. The silence accompanied by her creation is almost deafening, nothing breathes; just rots causes fumes of injustice to burn for the Hell's inhalation. Each of the scattered coffin down here, sides from the few empty ones, contains a feasted corpse that is slowly fading due to the stake of crystallized emerald embedded in the chosen's heart. Their minds reek insanity but their eyes contain nothing but their final living moment.
Carefully, the Hedgehog moves to one coffin in particular allowing her bandaged paw to touch the rim with her fingertips as she gazes out one of many she decided should be kept for later use.
Cobalt fur mixed with her own eyes stare back at her, unable to twist to watch where she treads, unable to question but the trapped mind inside already knows what is to come. Pausing, Amy leans over from one of the sides making sure that he can tell she is there despite her half closed eyes lacking any sympathy in either to relieve his grief.
'Hello Sonic, did you miss me?' she coos softly into his ear. She knows he can show no response but the mental torment that is ever so possible, the lack of ability to ignore her presence anymore is too much for her not to visit. Rose touches his tan with finger tips as she continues to glare at him harshly almost treating his lack of ability to respond as age old ignorance from his part.
'I know its been a while since my last visit but you know Shadow, unlike you he takes the time to acknowledge me, care, help me back up unlike so many times you shoved me down and ran away.' Her voice turns bitter instantly, her paw withdrawn.
'There was only one thing you ever did for me, one and I were after you for years!' she snarls, her fangs in view further proving her fury.
'And you know what that was Sonic?! It was you throwing my aside into the gutter and leading me to him, the only joy you ever gave me was when I took your life away and left you here! You didn't even give a shit when I was killed, no I bet you were glad I was gone, out of your way so your ego could be cuddled by all those whores you let touch you! They didn't care, it was you being famous and the only one who ever really cared about you treated worse than them!' Her glare becomes harsher, the ritual of torment continuing.
'You had so many chances and you blew it every single time! Shadow is different though, he loves me for who I am, I'm not a trophy like I was to you for the camera and your sodding achievements.' An old song shoves its way into her head, just how their relationship could have gone if he took the time to care.
"Coulda been right, coulda been cool, coulda been the best thing since high school! Coulda been good coulda been hot coulda been the one who hit my spot, but you're not and all you got is something that coulda been!"
The song is quickly replaced by the fading lyrics of another, exactly what happened.
"You had me; you lost me now I'm with another guy"
After countless minutes of reminders of what he had done to her, everything he had said done, she shifted more onto what of her ever growing favourite subject.
'We shared something special this night, something you'd never EVER have gotten from me. And before you ask, yes we did, we had sex for the first time since I fell for and guess what hero, I loved every minute of it! Now we're a part of each other for ever and there's nothing you can ever do about it.' Her tone begins to lighten the slightest as she continues, again bringing back to a vague snap at the corpse before her
'You ever wonder what it's like Sonic? You've never seen me behind my shirt or whatever I wore; you never touched me except while screaming at me to get out of your life. All you think a relationship is holding hands, you have no concept of what real affection is, nothing of what he ever did for me…' She trails slightly, in a daze, mind sinking rapidly into that solid moment of penetration, having him inside of her yet it felt so natural so…. longed for.
Her moment lost in thought under closed eyes doesn't see something that shouldn't be happening, the shard bedded into the tan stomach of the body slowly turning to liquid and being absorbed into its reviving owner. Fading fur regains lost colour and eyes blaze with fresh light and within seconds of the former slaying device has slithered away, he sits up and puts a still gloved paw onto the distracted's shoulder.
'I'm sure you can show me' he answers at last, Amy still in her daze opens her eyes confused for a moment, when her focus returns, a scream does as well.
'You … you should-' She tries to stutter and strangle the words out but none turn right right, he just looks at her, pure insanity reflecting in his smile and piercing eyes. She backs off until she is pinned against a wall, eyes widened in horror, he was staked, and unless someone removes it there is no way they can suddenly spring back like that!
'Still lying, listening to your wretched voice, screaming at you with nothing but my mind? Not today.' He croaks out in the raw throat that lack of living for well over a year has caused. Quickly, he is out of his former resting place, slightly stooped as he glares at her with till slightly glazed eyes.
'I thought I might give revenge a shot'
He advances on her quickly making her push harder back against the wall in pure natural instinct to run but her terrified mind knows he'd catch her in an instant and his eyes, they force her to stare at them. With the chaotic energy quickly kicking life back into his ragged limbs, he is suddenly in front of her, staring right into her eyes.
A muffled sound is quickly heard as Sonic pins his former fan against the wall with a paw to her chest and forces his lips to hers. Her eyes scream, her own paws try to push him away but her body still feels lag from her beloved moment with her mate earlier. His paw digs into her ribcage, crushing it slightly as he forces his tongue into her mouth, eyes closed in knowing satisfaction she can' do a thing about him touching her. His other touches her side as he further forces his on face to touch her own, ears flattened in silent contentment.
He is quickly stopped however when Amy kicks him with her clawed foot and he staggers back, his body still adapting to being alive again not yet dealt with how sensitive his flesh is.
Cerise screams and tries to run from him; gagging at the foul taste in her mouth and the feeling of him touching her. It falls on death ears as the Hedgehog quickly ensnares her again in his arms clutching her paws tightly in one as he forces himself against her body again.
'Lets see how unknowing I am my defiant little girl friend' he coos at her forcing his mouth to hers again and twisting her body away so only his back is to the stairwell.
Her scream however was not completely unheard, upstairs in the main abbey building, the owner is home holding a body of his fest in his arms. The second he heard it, he ran to the bed where he left her and is left shell shocked to find her gone.
'Where is she…' he almost snarls, it's not like her to scream unless it was anything along the lines of before he left. Panic begins to settle, clutching the corpse of tiger tighter causing his claws to break the skin, the Hedgehog chases the fading echoes of his beloved, eyes slightly widened, as he is lead to the stairwell.
Below he can hear muffled sounds and sound of shoe against the stone, Amy never wore any so that must mean…
'AMY' he screams from above to the instant further satisfaction to the intruder down below.
Obsidian's eyes widen in horror as he sees her clutched so tight to someone he doesn't recognise even from the height he is at, he can't see the fact Amy is being held or her struggles to break away. His eyes widen as he throws the body aside and runs down the stairs yet stops on the final, and, while noticing the moment, cerulean releases her causing her to fall backwards away from him as he steps aside with a dangerous smirk.
'Lord…' she whispers, her eyes widened in fright and the disgusting stench and taste of he third Hedgehog plastered all over her muzzle.
He comes down the steps, ignoring the other completely to stare at her.
'I don't… how could you do this?!' he questions in demand, his eyes burning in fury. The fallen hero keeps out of sight, snickering inside his mind at the crumbling relations between the two before him.
'I can't believe I ever loved you! You… I knew you were coming down here but just to spring back to this trash you said you despised? You're nothing but a slut, a bloody slut!' he growls angrily, her eyes continue to widen.
'Lord-' she tries to say but instantly is topped.
'Don't you dare call me that! You were just using me all these months; you never cared really did you?! DID YOU?! I thought earlier, before I left was everything finally going right… all I find now is you pawning over who only last night called pitiful and glad to be down with the rats!'
'Shadow its not-' again she is cut short by his screaming fury.
'Get out, take you fucking boyfriend as well, I never want to see you again understand me?! Get the hell out!!' He turns his back to her sobbing face and with a swift movement, an aura of azure flames burns around the two amongst the coffins and instantly they are teleported away from his abbey.
'Sun's going to be up in minutes, I hope the fate's are kind enough to me to make you burn.' His voice snarls and within seconds of saying, the powerful fury breaks down and leaves him collapsing on the stairs in tears.
