Author's Note: Just a quicky, but more to come. Who does Knuckles deserve to be with? And what were Sonic and Shadow up too last night?
Chapter 7- Consequence is a bigger word than you think
ROUGE
Everything seems to be going to plan she smiled and closed the door leaving a beaten Julie Su in the hall. She lay gently on the bed and thought of last night. She couldn't smile any wider. She rubbed her stomach with delight. It's only a matter of time now. She took out a box from her bag and read the instructions with glee. This is it Rouge, better not have let me down Knuckles she grinned. She knew the outcome no matter what, but you always had to make sure with these things. She remembered the warmth he brought inside her. Everything is perfect.
SHADOW
"Why are you hugging me?" Shadow yelled in disgust. "Get off" he pushed the blue sleeping hedgehog aside. I don't even get why that Bat brought me here his face was flushed with anger. She just came here for that Echidna. I should have known. I'm not her servant. He slammed the door of his room shut. His eyes immediately went toward the pink echidna sulking on the ground. What is this?
"Why are you on the ground?"
"Oh hey Shadow" she tried to compose herself, and stood up. There were tears and snot falling down her face. "I just um" she couldn't think of anything to say.
"You're upset about Knuckles sleeping with somebody else" he said bluntly. She couldn't hold back after he said that. She tried to fight back the tears but gave out a small ugly cry. She didn't care about the scene she was making. She just wanted her Knuckles back. This is embarrassing he sighed and pats her back, but she clutched at his fury chest. "Listen, I'm just going to tell you this straight up. Rouge may or may not have planned this out. I'm sure she's slept with Knuckles as well" his monotone voice couldn't detect any emotion. This only made her more upset though as she screamed out in agony in his chest, so it was muffled. "Get a hold of yourself" he pulled her up.
"He deserves better than me" she moaned, "I deserve to be alone! I'm a horrible person" she wined in a high pitch voice, it was very unsettling.
"Oh shut up" he slapped her face so she would shut up, "it's not like he is dead or anything. He's right in that room. I'm sure if you two really are soul mates you'll be able to work this out. Just go talk to him you idiot" Shadow let go of her and walked away. "If this is really that awful you shouldn't have slept with me" his words cut her like a knife, but also woke her up.
"You're right. I was wrong about everybody, and now I know how important Knuckles is to me" Julie retorted. Shadow smiled and turned around.
"Now you know why I was so willing" he walked back to the Julie. She motioned her fists in front of her, but instead he just crossed his arms. "I knew this would be the only way for you to appreciate what you have. I know your love for him can't be described in words, like mine was for Maria, but you were growing ignorant of it. I feel your misery, but in time you two will be better than ever" she dropped her fists and thought hard.
"Thank you Shadow" she spoke strong now. She finally understood everything.
"But maybe I just wanted to bang you" he sneered, and she tried to slap him, but he dashed away. She and him will be better in time Maria, I gave them a second chance. I gave them a better future. For you Maria.
