They finally found a hotel to check into later that night. While everyone else was asleep knuckles st up by himself staring out the window once again chain smoking hmm now about that suicide ...should i go fast or slow? is hanging yourself painful? ok ok ok stop it , i need to quit this sht, i have alot to live for, i got to get revenge and stuff or something, maybe i could destroy the entire planet, but hten that would'nt be fare to the others, but then again it wont fare about what happen to me either...i did'nt ask for this, he pulled juilies bracelet out of his pocket i don't think she would wont me to kill everyone else, but she's dead so i guess that---"knuckles, what are you dong up?" he knew it was rouge and turned to see her stading in the door way "nothing just up smoking " he lied " o ok...i can't sleep " she mumbled "why not?" " i don't know, maybe it all this action or what ever has been going on lately" " i thought you where use to all of that?" " yea but i don't know this is deiffrent, my other work was like detective work or whatever so yea" " o your a spy or something?" "well yea sortive" im assiged to play like im a criminal, to get the upper hand on them"
" o ok that sounds like a good job...id be good at that" "hmm yea" Things fell silent between them and then she set down beside him and rested her head on his shoulder "Are you going to be ok knuckles...i can tell somethings wrong...whats on your mind?" " nothing..nothing at all" "She raised up and looked into his eyes and saw something in them she did'nt like and thats when she lend in to kiss him, he begain to kiss her back and runed his fingers down the side of her face and then she broke the kiss and lend away from him and asked "well can you promise me something?" "sure,i guess but i wont promise something i can't keep" " well first of all can you tell me if your contiplating on suicide?" he stayed silent for a momment and then mumbled "yea im not going to lie i have had my thoughts" She did'nt know how to responde she just held her head down for a momment why do i care so much for practically a stranger. " i really don't have nothing to live for, a part of me died with them, so why not finish the job, i was suppose to die, it was an accident that i lived" "please don't say that...it brakes my heart...you've got to promise me you wont do nothing stupid...i know you don't know me all that well but belive it or not i care for you,infact i might be inlove with you" He was stuned by her words and could'nt respond but finally said" ill try...but no promises" She looked hurt when he said that but did't say nothing else. They said nothing else to one another and she just set in his arms for a while looking out the window and then finally fell asleep.
Am i falling for her? I can't, what about juilie? Get over it knuckles shes dead shes dead shes dead shes dead shes dead shes dead shes dead shes dead shes dead. God im losing it,im drowning in death. He gently rested rouges head on the arm of the couch while he got up being sure not to awake her and then he looked down at her a momment "im sorry" he whispered and then he walked off to the bathroom locking the door. He stood there looking in the mirror and he could'nt hold it back any longer, the tears begain to roll down his checks and he could' nt hold the pain much longer , he smashed the mirrior and grabed one of the shards off the floor and it was cutting his hand up but he did'nt care, He held the glass to his wrist and thats when he heard someone frantically knocking at the door "knuckles? please open the door" "i...i will in the minute" She heard him in there sobbing and there was a few specks of glass on the floor that seemd to have flew from under the bathroom door. Knuckles pressed the glass down into his skin and watch the blood rise to the wound what the f am i doing? He snaped out of the trama and climbed to his feet his wrist gushing blood evrywhere f what am i going to tell her i cant let her see me like this! He grabed the tile off the rack and wraped around his wrist and applied pressure to it, "knuckles are you okay?" "uh yea im just nausiated or something" Sht think knux thiiiiink! ok i uh i hit my head on the mirror no wait, that sounds dumb, i saw mario? haha good one! I slept walk? yea yea thats good! she'll never buy that sht ...damnit... "uh yea er" He opend the door with his arm behind him and walked toward the bed getting in it" well goodnight im going to sleep" She looked at the trail of blood drops he left behind him and tilted her head oddly. "Knuckles...why are you bleeding?" He looked down at his wrist under the cover and saw where the blood had soaked through the towel. Busted, uh yea gah. Rouge set on the edge of the bed with her head down " knuckles ..." she whisperead under her breath. He set there a momment studying her face and then everythingbegain to start looking hazy like when he passed out the time before when he was drunk "uhh god im dizzy---" and then he fainted. Rouges eyed widened and she jumped up off the bed "oh my god! knuckles!" She started shaking him and then pulled back the covers and saw his wrist sliced up "knuckles what the fk!" she jumped up there with him and started to apply pressure to his wrist. and he finally came back somewhat "huh?" " why the hell did youi cut yourself, you promised me that you would''nt do anything stupid!" He jerked his head up at her wide awake now " i don't know why i did it, fing stupid i guess, chill out iv got this" he got up and kinda stumbled for a momment and the room blurrd together why the hell did i cut myself? i feel like some little suicidal bitch, i knew i shoulda went for the window, no well maybe i have something new to live for.
He finally got the deep wound to stop bleeding and he set there again smoking another cigarette. "i can't belive you did that" " it was an impulse mistake, it wont happen again" he mumbled. he looked up at her with sorrow in his eyes "im sorry i really am, sometimes i wonder if you should have ever met me, i feel like i make you misrable, yet another burdan to you" "No your not, i care for you i really do" While discussing this there was a loud electracal snaping noise and then the whole room went black. " o great let me guess mario, shadow or kirby or some other dumb fk after these emeralds" The door flew open and knuckles spun around and saw a dark figure with green eyes open the drawer to the nightstand stand then turn around and walked back out chuckling to himself , shutting the door quietly behind him. "sonic?" knuckles called after the firgure but they did'nt respond "who was that" rouge asked in a hushed voice. "i don't know" "i...i left the emeralds in the nightstand" she mumbled "HUH?" o no...no..fk no" Knuckles took off after the misterios figure and looked out the window on the way after him to see a huge air craft or somesort with what looked like a cat? or a fox or something drivng it. They can't get away He took off running downstairs and out side to meet the take off of the ship with a small little robot looking guy hanging onto the side climbing in "heheheheh" he laughed as he was waving bye " HEY WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING" knuckles yelled at him as they took off gee knux what good is that doing. The ship took off at the speed of light. "was that eggman?" rouge said standing behind him. " i don't know, iv never even seen eggman" "well did you see who was driving it?" "yea it was a fox or cat of some sort" "OOO that was one of eggmans new sidekicks that shadow had discribed" "what are you doing out here?" sonic stood behind them all droopy eyed from sleeping "and what was all the comotion about?" "well to start with the emeralds have been stolen again---- knuckles begain " all but this one " Rouge stood there witha smile holding one up from her purse. Knuckles starts feeling an over bearing feeling of dread come over him as he sees the ship take offand then out of n o where a large fat hand is resting on his shoulder in a white glove, he jumps and turns around really fast to see mario standing there " whoa what the hell do you want?" " you know knuckles i can help you if you like, i can do anything" he says with wide smile." iv gone from heaven's clouds to the firey pits of hell conquring all evil" Knuckles some how got gullible and became entranced by all this wow maybe he really can help me " so this little space ship thats flying off as we speak is nothing to me, all you have to do is get me that one diamond" Knuckles eyes grew even wider and he turned and started walking toward sonic and rouge " hey rouge, can i see that emerald a mintute" he asked blankly. She turned to see a wide eyed knuckles with his hand held out, she cocked her eyebrow and asked suspiciously "why?" "because mario said he could help me" while saying this he pointed over at mario. She tilted her head slitly to see mario standing there staring up at the ship and before she relizes it knuckles has snatched the emerald and took off running toward mario and she screams 'KNUCKLES WHAT THE F ARE YOU DOING!" Mario then pulls out a flut and grins wickedly and tuts it. After that thr ground begins to treamble and they all look up to see a huge white tonado coming toward them. Knuckles looks over at mario which has his arms extended in the air and waving them wildly. Knuckles says outloud to himself as the tornado pulls them up "ohhh sht iv made a biiiiig mistake"
