Nothing much to say. Next chapter. Note: some sexual content here italics are Starr's thoughts.

June 30th, 12:50am

Starr woke up in a haze, she tried to blink her tired eyes to see where she was. Her vision cleared and she couldn't believe where she was: a strange dimension make up of purple and black. She tried to walk but she look down at her body and noticed that she was tied down to a pole. A rope, glowing blue, was tied tight around her arms and body; she tried to get out but the knots were too tight. Still trying to get out, she felt something go on her mouth: it was a hand wearing a white glove.

"Shh, shh," the voice said. It wasn't the voice she was hoping for. "I told you that I would take care of you."

Scrouge she thought. Where are you Shadow?

Scrouge took his hand off her mouth and started to rub her shoulders, more closely to her neck. He moved to where he was now in front of her and she put on a strong face.

"Tense now are we?" He moved his hands down her arms to where the rope was. With his hands grabbing her arms, he pulled himself towards her and pressed himself on her. Starr turned her head away and closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to see what he was doing to her. "Look at your King, darling. Open your eyes." She did; Why did I do that?

He grabbed her jaw and turned it towards him. He pressed his lips on hers, his kiss was sloppy and controlling. Starr tried to think of happier times: the park with Shadow, their first awkward kiss, being there for her to give her Ativan. Scrouge broke the kiss to catch his breath.

"What do you mean by King?" She asked.

"Didn't Doom Mist tell you? I'm going to be King and you're going to be my Queen. You see, we've talked for months now, during my dreams at specified times. I believe it was the 15th of every month." Starr dropped her strong face into a face of defeat. He knows... Scrouge just smiled wickedly at her.

"Soon he and I will be one mind and you and I will be King and Queen and we shall destroy those pesky Freedom Fighters."

"I won't let you hurt them!"

"Them? Or Shadow? Why else would you come with me? You don't care about them. You only care about him," Starr didn't say anything, she couldn't not with Scrouge breathing down her neck, literally. "Now look at your King when he addresses you. We have a couple of minutes before Doom Mist exits you so I suggest we make the most of it."

He kissed Starr's lips again, crude and controlling. She didn't respond to his actions but he continued anyway. Shadow! Shadow please help me! Scrouge moved down her neck, leaving a trail of kisses behind. He reached her chest and started kissing obsessively. He was panting and rubbing her everywhere like crazy. She winced during her assault, trying to hold back tears but they slipped past her defences. Scrouge moved back up to her face and grabbed her hips and thrusted them against his. She felt something against her leg and knew what it was. Starr focused her mind on trying to turn herself into water so she could get away, even though there was no where to go she needed it get away from HIM. She focused her mind but nothing happened, no water was coming and she didn't change. She tried again and looked down to see that every time she tried, only the parts where she was tied turned slightly to water. Scrouge chuckled.

"I forgot to tell you that this rope takes away abilities whenever someone's touching it. You can't get away from me; I told ou before, I ALWAYS get what I want."

The only water Starr could produce were the tears that were now running down her face. Her cheeks were soaked with tear stains. Scrouge used his thumb to wipe the tears away. As compassionate as the action was, Starr knew it was anything but sincere.

"It's time," he said as pulled himself away from the damsel. He walked a few steps away and turned to her, putting his hands out as if he was absorbing something through his arms. Starr felt sudden tightness and sharp pain in her entire body. She struggled behind the rope, yelling and screaming for it to stop. Finally, a blackness came out of Starr and went towards Scrouge. Starr knew it was Doom Mist in his mist form. The darkness swirled around the two hedgehogs, both of them feeling the power of the evil that was engulfing them. Both hedgehogs were in a trance as, both willing and unwillingly, they absorb the dark power. The ropes that were holding down Starr seemed to have slipped off as her figure was changing. She was growing taller, her two long quills were growing in length and her bangs were longer. She had changed to an adult version of herself but evil.

Once Doom Mist was completely absorbed by both of them, they stood facing each other, smiling at one another. Scrouge had turned into his Super form and Starr had changed to her Dark form. She was wearing a navy blue, shoulder strap dress that was cut low and had a slit on the left side. A black belt with a gold buckle was around her waist and she wore elbow gloves that had yellow cuffs and her pointed heels were yellow as well.

"Lady Doom," Scrouge introduced her. She chuckled fiendishly.
