Okay. This is my first attempt at a character's POV. Tell me if you like it. If you do, then I'll try and do more characters POVs. I don't own any of the Sonic characters. I own Huri, Page and Trinity though. Read and review! The more reviews I get the sooner I'll start posting the sequel. There are going to be many sick and twisted twists in the story. I just all of you to know, that I enjoy writing stories like that. I know, I'm twisted. Anyways, read and review! This is the last chapter of this little story. For all of you who didn't read Internal Torment before reading this, you really should read it to find out if Huri and Shadow escape.
Chapter Two: Disaster Strikes.
Huri's POV
I took in a breath and coughed. I instantly woke up, coughing badly. Shadow's ears twitched as he heard me cough and woke up.
" Huri are you okay?"
I continued to cough, " s-smo-ke."
Shadow took a whiff of the air, and indeed he did smell smoke. He reached into the pack and grabbed a water bottle.
" Here, drink this. It should help with the coughing."
I took the bottle gratefully, and drank it. Then I handed the bottle back to him and he smiled.
" Better?"
I nodded as I stood up, " where is that smoke coming from?"
We both stood up and walked out from under the tree. I looked to the south and there was nothing. Hesitantly, I turned my head to the north, eye tightly shut.
" Oh, no please," I whispered through clenched teeth.
I opened one eye, and saw smoke. I felt tears sting my eyes as I saw the smoke. Shadow placed his hand on my shoulder. I shook it off and started to run. I ran as fast as my legs would carry me.
I knew that Shadow was beside me. Please, please let them all be okay. My village came into sight quickly; it was set a blaze. I stood in shock; many of the houses were no longer standing. Not many of the villagers were running around.
I ran towards my house. I could feel the hot flames. I saw Shadow looking up at the sky; no he was glaring at the sky. I looked up and saw a huge ship; unconsciously I slowed down to a stop, just staring at the ship. Shadow walked up behind me, but I ran away before he could get to me.
My cheeks were soaked with tears. How could anyone do this to us? We had done nothing wrong! This village had lived in peace for years! Now we were under attack by some strange unknown person?
What did we do to deserve this? I began to slow down as my house came into view. Or at least, what was left of it. I squinted my eyes; I could make out one figure standing there, trying to pull something out of my house.
" Oh, no. Please, let no harm come to them."
I ran up to the figure, it was my father.
" Dad! What happened! Where is mom!"
" I'm right here hunny!" Mom yelled.
She was trapped under the support beam to our home.
" Dad, mom! I'm sorry I ran away!"
Dad just looked at me, he was smiling, " it's okay Huri. Your mother and I planned it. We knew you didn't want to choose a husband. We only wanted you to be happy, even if it ment you wouldn't be here."
I felt fresh tears stream down my cheeks, " thanks mom, dad."
My ears twitched as Shadow came up behind me. My father smiled as he saw Shadow, but his smile faded. He pushed me away as a huge flaming beam came falling down.
I hit the ground pretty hard, but I shook it off. No longer could I see my parents, just a wall of flames. Shadow helped me up, but held me back from running to help them.
" Shadow, you had better take care of my daughter!"
That was my mom's voice, she was still alive.
" You must get her out of here Shadow. Promise me you will protect her!"
My father was still alive too!
" I promise you, Page and Trinity that I will protect her with my life!" Shadow yelled.
I could feel my parents nodding in approval. Another beam fell; I could only stare in horror.
" Mother, Father! Are you okay!" I yelled.
A black hedgehog, with red streaks in his quills stood by her.
" We have to hurry and get out of here Huri! I promise I'll come back and look for your family I promise! I also promised your mom and dad I'd make sure you were safe first!"
" No Shadow, I'm not leaving without them!"
Shadow sighed, " I'm sorry Huri."
I looked at him, then felt enormous pain in the back of my head. I saw Shadow standing above me.
" Shadow…..why?"
My entire world went black. I felt Shadow pick me up, then I felt air hitting me.
" I promised you mother and father I'd keep you safe. I will keep that promise"
He began to run, breaking the sound barrier. I opened my eyes for a brief second, to see my whole village go up in flames, then I lost consciousness again. When I awoke, I was by a small stream in the woods. I stood up and looked around.
" Shadow? Where are you?"
My eyes darted around; I was scared. My ears twitched as Shadow came out of the bushes, covered in dirt.
" Huri," his eyes were filled with pain, " I'm sorry."
I looked at him, " what are you sorry for? You didn't do anything."
" Your parents, I'm sorry."
He couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence. I just shook my head in disbelief.
" No, you're wrong! Shadow where are my mom and dad! Tell me where they are!"
He slowly walked up to me, but I backed away.
" I said tell me where they are!"
" There gone Huri. While you were out I went back to look for survivors, there were none. I'm sorry Huri, your parents are dead."
I fell into the stream, startled by the news.
" No! You're lying! They aren't dead! They aren't! Where are they Shadow!"
He stared into my eyes, reading my feelings.
" I buried everyone. I'll show you there graves if you want."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me up, as soon as I was on my feet I began walking away. I felt his hand on my arms and pulled away quickly. He grabbed my arm again, tighter this time and pulled me into a hug. I growled and tried to pull away from him, when I couldn't get free, I began hitting him in the chest. He just stood there, and held me tighter.
Tears poured down my cheeks. Eventually, I stopped hitting him and began to cry into his chest.
" Are you done yet?"
I nodded into his chest, " yeah, I wanna say goodbye to them."
He nodded, and loosened his grip around me, but still held my hand tightly. I smiled and he wiped my tears away with his thumb.
" C'mon, it's going to start raining soon."
" Right."
We took off, him just barely in front of me, still hand in hand. Within seconds, we had reached the gravesite. About one hundred unmarked graves were there. He took me to two graves, in fact the only two that were marked. They shared a headstone.
I read them out loud, " Page and Trinity Hinto, beloved mother and father. Died in a fire caused by Eggman."
Shadow placed a hand on my back, as a shadow cased over us.
" Hey! The rain can't have moved in that quickly!"
" Huri! Move away!" Shadow yelled.
A green light surrounded me and I felt my feet lift off the ground.
" What's going on! SHADOW HELP!"
He ran into the light and grabbed me, holding onto me protectively.
" Shadow, what's going on?"
" Eggman," Shadow growled, " don't worry, I'll protect you Huri."
I stared at the ship, and held onto Shadow for dear life.
" Shadow, I'm scared."
" Don't worry Huri, I'm here, I won't let him hurt you."
I shut her eyes, but I could still hear voices. I know one was Shadow's, but the other one was strange to me. ' It must be that Eggman character Shadow was talking about.'
" I never thought I'd find you Shadow. I was looking for someone else, but now that I have you back, how would you like to join me once again."
" No Eggman, I don't even remember what happened. Now let us go!"
" I'm sorry I can't do that Shadow, I can use you to test something for me."
" Well, then let her go, she has nothing to offer you, and no where to go since her home was burned down. If you let her go I'll stay and allow you to do whatever test you want to do to me. Just let her go."
" So she was apart of that village I burned down? I thought I had killed all of them, no matter."
Shadow's eyes grew wide as he felt me shake.
" You burned down my village?"
I stood up and stared at Eggman, " my mom and dad are dead, and all my friends. You killed them all?"
A few tears ran down my cheeks, but then I heard him laugh. I felt Shadow's hand on my shoulder, but shook it off. I ran at Eggman. Why did he have to kill them! They didn't do anything! Hell, I've never even heard of this sick bastard before today!
" I'm going to kill you!"
" Huri! No!"
Shadow grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him.
Eggman continued to laugh, " I see you care for this girl. I won't harm her, as long as you do as I say."
Shadow let a low growl escape his lips, but he didn't move.
" Fine, but I want to know that you're going to take good care of her. If she is harmed in anyway, I'll kill you."
" I'm glad you agreed to my terms, take them to a cell Magna."
A strange robot grabbed us and dragged us away. I could still hear him laughing. It would always ring in my head. It threw us into a cell and shut the door. I felt tears stream down my cheeks, and Shadow began to rub my back.
" We'll get out of here, do not worry."
I only nodded as I cried, " I believe you."
