Chapter 3

"Here" said Cream as she handed me an opened can of beer. "Thank you" I said to het and took a gulp out of the weird tasting alcoholic vebrage. "This...tastes...odd.." I said feeling a little dizzy. "Well I'll taste better" she said with a weird tone on her voice. "ex...excuse...me?" I adled before everything turned black.

I awoke hours later. It was dark and I was laying on a soft surface. I looked out the window and saw the moon. I looked down at what I was laying on. My king-sized bed. I yawned. and stretched as a question popped in my head: "how did I get here?" I wondered out loud. "Well I think I have an answer, baby" said a familiar voice. I froze and felt cold sweat run down my back. 'It can't be!' I thought. I hesitantly turned y head to see the familiar orange rabbit. "Cream..."
"AAAAHHHH!" I screamed as I woke up from that horrible nightmare. "Get this memories out of my head!" I yelled at no one in special (since I was the only one in 'The Box). It wasn't fair, I didnt wanted to commit the crime, but I dod and now there wad no way back. All because of that bitch Cream.
No. I couldn't blame her. Maybe she didn't know any better. Maybe it was hormones or maybe her mother turned her that way. I laid my head aagainst a wall, sighing while pondering WHY this nightmare had started.
It all started when I started dating Vanilla. As months passed, I spend more time with her daughter, Cream, as well. Who always seemed...I don't know...wanting to be close to me. Years passed, Vanilla and I got married, and I moved in with them (since I lived in a one bedroom apartment). But as soon as I moved in, I noticed that Cream was acting even more suspicious than before.
When she was 10 years old she had nightmares for about a year. she would always go in our room and sleep, not between Vanilla and me, but on the edge of the bed beside me...cuddling with me. the weird thing was that Vanilla never semeed to notice. I would always tell myself: "she's too busy with work' , but that was a lie.
—**Flashback**—
I drove home after picking up Cream from school. I
decided to take a different route today, for the hell of it. I didn't even bother to talk to Cream because she was listening to her iPod. I drove. past the Mobius café and saw Vanilla talking to a male rabbit. He was wearing. a black suit and looked as if he was on steroids!
'What an odd client she Has' I thought. I looked back at the road then back at them, only to see them kiss.
—*********—
Chaos knows how long she had been cheating on me. It could have been for days, weeks, months, or even years. My blood boiled at the thought of her being with another man during our marriage. But I didn't tell her what I saw when she got home hours later. I waited months to see if she asked me for a divorce, but she never did. One day, I decided I had had enough of her lies.
—**Flashback**—
I got home from work at about 6:00 p.m. I went to Vanilla's room, took out a suitcase and started packing all that was mine. "Going somewhere?" asked Cream, who ha just entered the room.
"I'm leaving"
"Why?"
"Your mother...um...we're getting a divorce..."
"oh"
"hhmm"
"take me with you"
"Excuse me?" I asked her raising an eyebrow. "Take me with you" she repeated and hugged me tightly, making me feel uneasy. "I can't it's against the law. You must stay with yoyr mother" I said as I grabbed my suitcase and made my way to the door, but she got in front of me to block my way.
"Then take me before you go?"
"huh?"
"you know you wanna"
"How can I take you with me before I leave? that makes no sense"
"I never said 'with' "
My heartbeat increased not because of excitement but because if fear. she wanted rhat which she obviously couldn't get from me. "Please...move out of my way" I said. "You'll have to convince me first" she said winking. I knew my patience was runing out, so I took a deep breath and looked at her. "Cream listen, I know you are in an age where you think you know what you're doing but believe me me, you're not" I said. She gave mea confused look. I sighed, knowing she had no idea what I had just said meant. "I'm not fucking you" I said trying to sound firm. She sighed, "I understand, Shadow" she said as she looked up at me and gave me her puppy face with her ears hanging down from her head. 'Damn it' I thought.
"I'll be right back" she said and left the room. she came back minutes later with. am opened can of beer in her hand. "Here" she said. "thank you" I said as she handed me the beer. I took a big gulp wondering why she had brought me the beer. Then I started feeling a little dizzy and passed out.

I woke up about three hours later. I was on my bed shirtless and my quills were wet for some reason. I was sweating too. Cream was sitting at the corner of the bed. My vision was blurry but I could yell it was her. "Cream...what happened?" I asked trying to adjust my eyes to the brightness of the room. I heard the door open and saw Vanilla standing in the doorway. she covered her mouth and looked at me with wide eyes. She hesitated to speak. Probably because of the shock and the fury she felt. "Shadow...Cream...how could you two do this?" she said, her voice cracking. Cream ran to her mother and hugged her as she started crying softly. "Sh...shadow...r-r-raped me" Cream said.
I stood up furiously."I did no such thing!" I yelled, but they looked at watch other and hesitated. "I'm calling the police" Vanilla said as she walked out of the room holding her daughter close.
I was arrested and taken to trial the same night. I didn't had time to hire a lawyer, so I had to defend myself (Mobius law). Cream on the other hand had a lawyer: her own mother (Vanilla was a lawyer).
—*—*—*—*—*—*—*—*—*—*—*—*
I looked at Cream, who was sitting at the stand. She looked at me and smiled wickedly. that bitch ruined my life!
Vanilla walked IP to the stand and held the Holy Bible. "Cream Rabbit...do you swear to tell the truth, only the truth, and nothing but the truth?" asked Vanilla while Cream laid her right hand on the Bible. "Yes" responded Cream. I couldn't help to growl. Because of Cream I was going to lose everything! My wife, my house, my reputation and my freedom!
"Cream what happened last night?"
"I had gotten home from school at 7 and only my stepfather was home...he was under the influence of alcohol-"
"OBJECTIO!" I yelled furiously, "Denied" yelled the judge, "continue"
"H-hey told me that I looked p-pretty and that he wanted me to sit next to him on the couch"
"did you?" asked Vanilla.
Cream began to cry softly. "Y-yes" she responded.
"Then what happened?"
"H-he put an arm around me a-and started t-taking off my clothes"
The judge gasped. "No further questions" said Vanilla. "I call Shadow Robotnick to the stand" said Vanilla. I did as I was told. I walked over and sat on the stand. I looked at my ex-wife in the eyr ad she looked back at me with a hateful expression. of course she hated me, she thought I raped her daughter!
"Robotnick ...what happened last night?" she asked, calling me by my least favorite name. "I went to work and got home at 6 and watched television" I responded.
"What happened after Cream go home?"
"I asked her to give me a beer, I drank it and everything turned black then I passed out. Before I passed out she Sud something about me fucking her"
"Stop lying, we all know you raped her"
"I didn't!"
"We have evidence! just admit it"
"no!"
"Do you have a veredict?" the judge asked the jury. "Yes your honor" said a female reddish fox as she stood up. "We find the defendant...guilty"
I could feel cold sweat run down my back. The Balif walked over and he tried to grab me but I dodged him and punched him with all my might, right on the chest, making him fall. I jumped off the stand and ran through the rows of witnesses to reach the door. I pushed it open and ran thtought the hall, pushing peiple out of my way. I ran for what seemed 30 seconds. My heartbeat increased because of the running and the dannger I knew I was in. Finally, I reached the main entrance and ran outside. I ran to the parking lot, climbed on my motorcycle, put my helmet on and drove away.
