Past Secrets

Chapter 44 - Shadow's Demise

Amy's POV

"Shadow…I need to tell you something."

Shadow looked at me in confusion.

"What is it Amy?" Asked Shadow calmly.

I hesitated then Shadow came to my side and sat down next to me on the bed.

"Amy, it can't be that bad. You know you can tell me anything." Said Shadow.

"It's about Dark." I started.

Shadow put his hand on my leg, and I looked into his eyes.

"What about Dark?" Asked Shadow.

I slowly rested my right hand on his.

"After we thought you died, I went home upset." I stated.

Shadow listened with patience.

"I didn't know how upset Dark was about the whole situation, so I called him." I said.

"He must have been sad considering he thought I was dead, even though I told him I was going to see him again." Stated Shadow.

"He was sad. When I got him on the phone it was clear he lost it." I added.

"Lost it?" Questioned Shadow.

"He lost all hope in his life thinking you were gone forever. He told me he was going to visit you." I stopped.

Shadow squeezed my hand gently.

"I tried to get him to stop, but he didn't listen. He drove himself off the cliffs on the outskirts of town." I stopped again waiting for him to say something.

"He tried to kill himself?" Asked Shadow in a sad tone.

I nodded my head.

Shadow began to exhale heavily.

"He somehow managed to survive and the next day he came to school wearing your cloths." I stated.

"He was wearing my cloths?" Questioned Shadow.

"Yes, and he was acting like you perfectly. I was sad because I thought both of you died, and seeing Dark made me happy, but seeing him doing everything you did before to cause me to fall in love with you was just too confusing." I stopped again.

Shadow stood up and put his hand on the back of his head, trying to keep himself calm.

"Later that day Sonic tried to hit me…!" Shadow cut me off in anger.

"Sonic tried to hit you! After he promised me he wouldn't anymore! I gave him a chance to prove himself, but I guess the second he thinks I'm out of the picture; he can just beat you up again!"

I stood up and took his hand. Shadow looked into my eyes.

"Dark stopped him before he could touch me." I stated.

Shadow began to relax.

"Dark beat him up until he was almost dead. I stopped him before he could kill him." I said.

"What happened next?" Asked Shadow.

"Dark offered to take me home and I accepted." I replied.

Shadow began to see where this was going.

"When he got me home; I got him to come inside with me. I first got him a drink then we began to talk." I said.

"About?" Asked Shadow in confusion.

I hesitated.

"About…things like gratitude. I thanked him for watching out for me and then…" I stopped.

"You what?" Asked Shadow. I could feel his anger beginning to boil.

"I asked him if he liked anyone." I replied.

Shadow looked at me and began to exhale deeply again.

"He said he never thought about it and that he was never in any sort of a relationship. He said he was inexperienced with love. Then I asked him if he…loved me." I stopped because I could feel Shadow's anger.

"What did he say?" Asked Shadow while trying to remain calm.

"I didn't let him say anything back Shadow." I replied and looked back into his eyes.

Shadow looked at me and asked.

"What did you do?"

"I…kissed him." I Stated.

Shadow put his head to the side and replied.

"Did he try and stop you?"

"He said he couldn't because he knew I still loved you. But I kept pushing him." I replied.

"You pushed him?" Questioned Shadow.

"I forced him to kiss me and the more I pushed the more he began to like it. It got to the point Shadow where we started to go deeper." I replied.

"Deeper how?" Asked Shadow.

"I….ahhh…began to take his pants off and I did something I shouldn't have." I replied cautiously.

Shadow was clearly angry and he began to yell.

"You and my brother! You went behind my back the day after I supposedly died and fucked my brother!"

I took his hand and quickly replied.

"Shadow it's not as it seems!"

"No it is! You betrayed me a second time with my own brother!" Yelled Shadow while putting his pants back on.

"Shadow I'm still a virgin! Dark didn't…!" Shadow stopped me by pushing me away and I fell back onto the bed. I looked up at him with fear.

"I don't care what Dark didn't or did do! You lost hope in us! You completely forgot about me and how much I loved you!" Yelled Shadow.

"No Shadow, I didn't forget about us! I just…!" Shadow immediately cut me off while putting back on his suit jacket.

"You just took advantage of my trust and the second I was gone you broke it for my only remaining family member!" Shadow began to cry.

I sat back up and tried to wipe his face but when I went to touch his face he smack my hand away with force. Shadow then turned around and threw open my bedroom door in anger.

"Shadow where are you going?" I asked in tears.

"It's none of your business Amy!" Replied Shadow while going down the stairs.

I followed him as fast as I could.

"Shadow don't go! I'm sorry!" I shouted while grabbing his arm from behind.

Shadow turned and gave me a violent look. A look that Sonic has in his eyes when he want to hit me.

Shadow instantly took my hand and squeezed it till I released.

"Owww! Shadow!" I shouted in pain.

I let go of him and he released my hand.

Shadow then opened my front door and walked outside in rage. I followed him.

"Shadow please don't go! If you would only listen!" I yelled.

"I did listen and it's clear what I heard! You obviously love Dark more then you used to love me!" Replied Shadow while getting on his bike.

"I don't love Dark Shadow! It was a mistake!" I shouted while beginning to cry.

"Yeah, it was a mistake! A mistake to believe you were the one! A mistake to trust you! And a mistake to trust my brother!" Yelled Shadow while starting his bike.

"Shadow you don't mean that! Please just stay and talk this out with me!" I begged.

"Fuck you Amy! If you want to talk, go ask my brother! You two obviously have a knack for scratching each other's backs!" Replied Shadow in rage.

Shadow then pulled into the street and began to hit the gas. I couldn't let him go.

I ran as fast as I could at him and tackled him off the motorcycle. The bike landed on it's side, while me and Shadow rolled into the street. I landed on top of him and he looked into my eyes with pure evil like from before with his demon form.

"Get the hell off me!" Screamed Shadow.

"Shadow please just listen to me!" I begged.

"There's nothing left to say! I can't trust you! I can't trust Dark! I can't trust anyone!" Replied Shadow while trying to break free.

"You can trust me Shadow! I love you and only you!" I shouted.

"I can't trust you because your not Amy!" Replied Shadow.

My eyes widened in shock.

"Your not the Amy I loved! Your not that beautiful pink rose I fell in love with! Your not even a person! I trusted you with everything! I trusted Dark with everything my entire life! I thought you were the one to change my life! I thought I could have a person in my life again who believe in me as much as I believed in them! I was wrong! I was wrong to love you! I was wrong to want a normal life! I'm better off being alone and a monster like I was before! That's all I was meant to be after all this time, it just took one person to prove it to me! Eggman was right! I'm only a demon! I'm not meant for this life! I'm worthless after all! I always believed Maria was right about everything, but I guess this time she was wrong! I'm just nothing! I'm just alone! I'm just dead!" Stated Shadow in more force then I ever saw him in.

My heart was broken in two, and I couldn't move. Shadow then pushed me off him and I fell back down on the pavement.

Shadow stood back up covered in angry tears and slowly lifted back up his bike. Once it was stable he got back on and looked at me one last time.

"Now you can forgot us. I can't live this life anymore. Goodbye." Said Shadow in utter sadness as he drove off down the street.

I watched as my only love broke down in front of me. I watched as he left me one last time. I watched as Shad completely lost faith in me. It's all my fault. I just killed him.

Shadow's POV

"I can't fucking believe this! My own god damn brother!" I stopped my bike.

"Why! Why does this shit have to happen to me!" I yelled to myself as loud as I could.

"I can't believe after all I have done, after all I have been through! My own brother and my only love go behind my back like this! I just got home! I thought seeing them again would throw my life back on track! I can't believe after what I did for him, hell I even gave him back his old love Shade! He still looked me in the eyes and didn't tell me about this! I had to hear from her and only because she was scared of me!" I screamed to myself.

I could feel my demon form coming back but this time I was on his side. I wanted him to be unleashed. That's all I am. Just a monster. I'm the beast that can't have a beauty. I'm broken. I'm lost. I have nothing left to live for. Not even Maria.

I continued to cry as I pushed down on the gas. I was leaving North End for good. I never want to see them again. I hope Dark and Amy forget about me. It didn't take too long the first time. It won't take long now.

I approached the outskirts of North End and continued to drive deep into the woods.

What pisses me off the most is that Dark is at my house right now Fucking Shade! He must be so proud of himself to take advantage of me and her.

My tears filled my eyes and I couldn't really see where I was driving anymore. I didn't care. I was just hoping for someone to put me out of my misery.

"Bang!"

My front and back tires popped and I lost control over the bike. Me and the bike slid. I fell underneath it as we began to flip down the road. I guess we flipped around eight times before we came to a stop. I was under the bike and I was looking straight into the pavement as my blood began to drip down from my face. I painfully moved out from under my bike and tried to stand up.

Once I made it to my feet I looked down at my chest and found that a piece of metal logged itself between one of my ribs. I grabbed it with force and yanked it out. Blood began to ooze down my torso, as I heard someone running at me.

I turned around and I was immediately smacked by the butt of a rifle. I fell to my left knee while trying to keep up my balance. The attacker dropped the rifle and grabbed me by my jacket. He then punched me in the side of my face and I was sent into the ground.

I slowly pushed myself up and back onto my feet. Once I was ready the attacker came in for another blow. I grabbed his fist as it came into my face and swung my opposite hand into the side of his face. He staggered and so did I from the pain of losing so much blood.

I fell back onto my knees and he looked down at me. He instantly brought his leg up and connected it to my jaw. I fell down onto the ground while he flipped me on my back. My eyes were covered in blood and I couldn't really see him. He got on top of me and began to punch me rapidly until I was incapable of fighting back. The blood in my eyes ran off onto the ground and I watched him get off me.

His face became clear and I couldn't believe who it was.

"How…did you…!" He cut me off.

"Your not the only one who doesn't die easy! Now go to sleep Shadow!" He yelled as he kicked me in the face.

My head smashed into the ground and before I passed out I heard him laugh. That voice. I thought he was dead, but if I am to die, I'm glad it will be by his hands.
