Damned Misery

Hi again, sorry for the wait… I am preparing to enter the United States Army. So uhm, yea my bad for not telling you sooner, so please don't be mad

Chapter II: Divine

Knuckles opened his eyes to see Tails standing above him. "Tails? TAILS! I thought you…. Died… wait… does that… does that mean I am dead?" Knuckles reached for Tails who just stood there, smiling, with a tear rolling down his face. The tear fell off Tails' face and onto Knuckles chest, splattering blood across his body.

Knuckles tried to get up to touch Tails to see, to see if Tails was really there, and as he did he saw him, he saw Tails. He saw death, just staring… just staring… just… staring. Screaming Knuckles bolted up right just to be thrown back down. Knuckles pleaded and pleaded with Tails to tell him if he died. But to everything Knuckles tried, Tails just stared, death in his eyes.

Knuckles awoke to see Rouge and a hooded figure standing over him. A cold sweat ran down his face and pooled at the base of his neck. A blood splatter covered his chest where the tear fell. Scared, Knuckles began to cry into Rouge's arms; whenever he would look up at her concerned face he would see death, and only death.

From the moment Knuckles awoke, the room was silent except for Knuckles. Rouge stood there holding Knuckles' head as he cried. "Uhm… Jesus Knuckles… what's wrong...?" She knew not what to say to the echidna, nor did she know what to do once he stopped crying, should he ever stop crying.

"Perhaps he has seen death… perhaps he only sees death" suggested the hooded figure over Knuckles' sobs. The figure remained silent the whole time in the room that Rouge forgot about it, especially when Knuckles woke.

"How the fuck do you know what he sees, He is fucking crying, and you babble on like a little bitch in the corner about death. You are not helping." Roared Rouge, but almost immediately Knuckles stopped, turned to the hooded figure and nodded. Rouge was stunned "… how the, how the Hell did you know?"

The hooded figure lowered its head, and in a quivering voice said, "because… I was there." Blood droplets began to fall from the hood and crashed onto the floor, the figure was shaking violently.

"What the fuck? Hey, are you ok?" asked Rouge still holding on to Knuckles head; despite him looking away at the hooded figure as well. The figure was now on one knee, blood still dripping from the hood. Rouge tried to run over, but when she took a step forward, Knuckles drew her back. "Knuckles? Why are you stopping me! I need to help him! KNUCKLES!" She pushed Knuckles away and ran over to hooded figure, blood was pooling around it. As she looked over the body she saw herself in the blood, she stopped for a moment to wonder how she could see herself in blood. She shrugged off her curiosity and screamed for a doctor.

To her surprise no one came to help the hooded figure, and whenever she tried to even flip the head over to see what was wrong, she could not even lift it an inch off the ground."HELP DAMMIT!" roared Rouge over and over again, but no one would come. Flustered she took off to go get help, but when she stepped out of the hospital room, no one was there, just blood slicked floors. Jaw agape she stumbled down the halls littered with corpses of the nurses and doctors, she saw pregnant mothers, with their fetuses torn out through their stomachs.

Rouge bit her lips tighter and tighter until they started to bleed; the pain woke her up and realized that she left Knuckles alone in the room alone with a dying body… and possibly whatever caused the bloodbath.

Rouge scared, raced back over the dead bodies to find that she couldn't find the room. Panicking she ran into each one, but each one showed the same image, a cut up corpse with a terrified face, each one knowing of death and despair. She continued her search until Knuckles' screams shook the building.

As Rouge sprinted through the halls to Knuckles, Knuckles was having the worst of luck holding of his assailant. "Fuck! ROUGE! I NEED HELP! ROUGE!" roared the echidna. Fortunately for him Rouge entered the room and lunged at the attacker, but to no avail, Sonic just moved out of her way and reengaged Knuckles. "Fuck! Rouge, I NEED YOU TO HELP!" roared Knuckles as he dodged a couple of punches.

Rouge pulled out a knife and started to attack Sonic, who now being engaged on both sides, was at a disadvantage, a one that he would soon enjoy. As Knuckles lashed out at Sonic, Rouge brought her knife down onto Sonic, but instead of Sonic, she cut into Knuckles' right arm. Screaming in pain Knuckles lashed out again, hitting Rouge to the floor. Sonic how was now laughing in glee took the knife from the scrambling Rouge and started at Knuckles for the third time.

Sonic loomed over the echidna, wearing a smile that should have cracked his face, a smile synonymous with the fear that took over Knuckles. Giggling like a little girl Sonic drew another knife from what appeared to be nowhere and vanished from Knuckles' view.

Knuckles looked around from the hedgehog in an all but vain attempt. From out of nowhere a knife flew in his direction, Knuckles saw the knife flying at him, he saw the it as it plunged into his right eye and into his brain. He also saw a second knife do the same to his left.

Knuckles' tried to remain there, he heard Rouge screaming out to him; he tried to remain there, if not for himself, for Rouge. But he felt the darkness cloud his already blinded eyes.

"KNUCKLES! NOOOO!" screamed Rouge, tears cascading down her face. She watched in horror as Sonic grabbed hold of the two knives in Knuckles' head and tore them through his head, a mixture of brains and blood splattered the walls. She watched as Sonic turned to her and looked into his demonic eyes. She saw her death. Out of a desperate gambit, she got up and ran, she ran as fast as she could, as far away as she could possibly go. After what must have been hours she stopped and found herself alone, and away from Sonic.

Sonic watched Rouge leave, he laughed as she did, they both new that she would meet the same fate as Knuckles did. "So why spoil the hunt by ending it now?" smiled Sonic. He looked at his handiwork and smiled that death smile, a smile that should of cracked his face. He heard sirens outside and frowned. His smile faded "That fucking bitch, maybe I should have killed her." mumbled Sonic. As he left the room he threw Rouge's knife into the back of the hooded figures head. Sonic never noticed the open cell phone next to it, open with the police on the line.

Well there is chapter 2, I hope you enjoyed it. So what to make of it? Tell me.

I will try to write more often.
