Past Secrets
Chapter 45 - Broken Hog
Amy's POV December 25
Last night killed me. I thought I'd never see that happen. Shadow yelled at me, cursed at me, hurt me, and in the end left me…for good. I continued to cry through the night until I finally pasted out. I would have slept through the day if I could, but Someone decided to call me.
"Ring!"
I slowly opened my eyes to see my phone going off on my nightstand. I reached for it slowly and when my fingers came in contact with the cracked screen I began to cry even more. Not because it looks like that; because of why it looks like that. I broke it for Shadow when I thought he was dead and it just pains me to see anything that resembles him.
I looked at the caller id and it was Silver.
I slowly answered.
"Hello…?" I said in sadness.
"Merry Christmas Amy!" Shouted Silver.
"What do you want Silver!" I shouted at him.
"Wooo! I didn't mean to piss you off. I'll just call back later if you want?" Stated Silver.
I regained control over myself and replied.
"I'm sorry Silver. What did you want?" I asked him calmly.
"I wanted to know if you were coming over to my house for the Christmas party." Replied Silver.
"I don't know Silver." I said.
"Come on Amy it will make you feel better, hell everyone's coming." Stated Silver.
"Who?" I asked.
"Tails, Knuckles, Dark, Shade, Cosmo, Julie-su, and hopefully you and Shadow. Because I tried to call him but I forgot you had his phone with you." Replied Silver.
"I forgot about Shadow's phone!" I said to myself.
I looked by the bed and I had it on the nightstand but it was gone. I guess Shadow took it before he left last night. I don't remember him taking it though.
"He's phone is gone Silver. He must have it with him. I guess he just didn't pick up." I replied.
"Well I'll give him another ring after I'm done with you. So anyway are you coming?" Asked Silver.
"I guess I can." I replied.
"Alright cool. Now the party doesn't start for another hour so you have time to get ready. In the meantime I'm going to give Shadow a call. I'll see you soon Amy." Stated Silver while hanging up the phone.
I dropped my phone onto the floor and thought about how I was going to now tell everyone about the fight with Shadow. I don't want to make Dark mad at me as well. I already lost my love.
I slowly stood up and started to find a quick outfit to wear. I don't really care what I look like now that I have no one to impress with.
I hope Silver can convince Shadow to come to the party, I don't know where he went after the fight, but I'm sure he went to somewhere to relive his stress.
Shadow's POV
"Aghhhh. I woke up in some pain. What happened? Where am I?" I asked myself.
I woke up in a small pitch black room, I could feel my hands and legs being restrained by steel chains. I was also in a chair. I slowly looked around my body and I was confused by how my wounds have been sealed completely. Only an emerald can do that. I started to jerk around in the chair that held me, hoping that I would gain some control over my hands and feet.
The chains were completely locked and wrapped around tightly. I felt my circulation going away.
"Nice to see you finally decided to wake up." I heard his voice again coming from the shadows.
I heard him get up and he was walking around me slowly.
"I thought I killed you back at the woods." Said the figure.
"I wish you would have." I replied.
"I'm sorry Shadow, but I can't afford to have you dead just yet." He replied.
"I know what you want, and my answer is no." I stated.
"Your answer is no, but not for long. You know what I'm capable of in these kind of conversations." Replied the figure.
"Nothing you could ever do will make me tell you where they are." I stated.
"Well just have to see about that." Replied the figure.
"Stop with the bad cop routine. Turn on the lights so I can see your face Nexus." I ordered.
"Have it your way." Replied Nexus.
Nexus slowly turned on the lights and he appeared in front of me.
Nexus was a pure white hedgehog with a nasty expression. He wore a solid black jacket with blue jeans. He also wore a white tee underneath. He wore a black pair of sneakers with one white line going along the sides. His hair was like mine but he had his spikes down like Sonic's. Nexus was pure evil. He had no demon form, but it was as if he was the devil himself. He was the only person who scared me.
"Oh did I miss that face." I stated.
"Really?" Questioned Nexus in sarcasm.
"I always regretted no benign able to kill you back then." I replied.
"It came close, but did you honestly think I didn't somehow manage to not die?" Asked Nexus.
"At the time. No. I thought you burned away with the rest of those murders." I replied.
"If there is anyone who is a murderer here, it is you. You were sent to kill me for Eggman's personal gain." Replied Nexus.
"You know if there was any other way I wouldn't have done it." I stated.
"But you did! You accepted the fact that I was to be eliminated so that you could complete your mission!" Replied Nexus.
"Eggman said you were going to use them to kill Maria! I had no choice but to stop you!" I stated.
"He said I was going to kill her! I never in all my life thought about hurting her back then! It show's how easy you are to believe the impossible! Even if it is against one of your own!" Shouted Nexus.
"If you weren't going to kill her, then what were they meant for? Why were you collecting them?" I asked.
"It over Shadow! I'm done! You ruined my plan! What does it matter!" Asked Nexus in anger.
"It means everything! It's the reason we were all betrayed!" I replied.
"Eggman started too early! That's the only reason you and your brother made it out alive!" Replied Nexus while walking over to a table he had set on my right side.
"I survived because of Maria!" I shouted.
"Watch your tone Shadow, if you yell at me one more time; I will cut your tongue off!" Shouted back Nexus.
I immediately fell silent.
Nexus is one of the best interrogators that worked at ARK with me and Dark. Whenever we needed to find something out from someone we always called Nexus, because he always did what was necessary to get them to talk. No matter if they lost a finger or a leg, sometimes Nexus would go too far and would wined up killing them first. I never wanted to be near the hog during after hours; even then he was pure evil.
"That's better Shadow. Now; I'm going to start simple." Said Nexus while picking up a sowing needle from the table.
Nexus then approached me with the sowing needle in hand.
"First question. Where were you going in such a hurry last night?" Asked Nexus.
"That wasn't an important question, so I'll answer it." I thought to myself.
"Leaving North End to get away from my new life." I replied.
"You don't like your new life? I thought it was what you and Dark always wanted?" Stated Nexus.
"I guess I wanted the wrong thing. It's not what I thought it would be like." I replied.
"You mean it's not like Maria always said it would be like." Corrected Nexus.
I nodded my head in approval no matter how much it hurt to accept the fact that he was right.
"So far so good Shadow. Next question. I hear you have a girlfriend named Amy Rose. I little pink hedgehog always wearing those exposing dresses. Walking around as if she can take on the world. Is that true?" Asked Nexus.
"I HAD a girlfriend, until I found out she was going behind my back with Dark." I replied.
"I heard those two went bump in the night. That must make you mad. Your true love fucking your one and only brother. Her moaning his name. Dark! Dark!" Shouted Nexus.
I tried to jump at him, but the chains kept me restrained. Nexus doesn't like benign threatened. He instantly stabbed my hand with that little needle of his.
I closed my mouth in pain as he smiled in joy from my suffering.
Nexus let go of the needle and left it in my hand for fun.
I dealt with the pain as he continued.
"Your lucky, that was fuck up one. You mess up two more times and your dead." Stated
Nexus.
I watched as he grabbed the needle slowly and ripped it out of my hand.
Blood began to drip onto the floor.
Nexus then tossed the needle onto the floor and walked back over to the table.
"Lets give this one more try." Said Nexus to himself as he raised up a pair of jumper cables that was attached to a battery.
My eyes widened as he slowly attached them to my ankles.
After they were in placed, Nexus grabbed his chair and brought it up to me. He slowly sat down and positioned the battery next to his left leg.
I looked straight into his eyes with fear as he waited like a crow.
"Its not fun begin on the receiving end for once is it Shadow?" Asked Nexus.
"No it's not." I replied.
Nexus brought his arms under his chin and asked.
"No smart ass comments so far. I'm kind of curious Shadow. What's the problem?"
"There is no problem. I'm done with fighting the inevitable. Sure I'm good at it, but it always gets me in the end." I replied.
"I think it goes a bit deeper then that. What is it truly that's bothering you?" Asked Nexus.
I hesitated.
Nexus started to move his hand towards the battery. I quickly replied.
"Dark."
Nexus stopped and rested himself again.
"Let me guess you want to hurt him because he fucked your girl." Said Nexus.
"I want to do more then that. I want to kill him so bad." I replied.
Nexus widened his left eye a little.
"That's a little dark of you to say, is that the demon talking or do you mean that?" Asked
Nexus.
"I have never felt this betrayed before Nexus. It hurts to think I use to love them." I began to cry.
Nexus looked at me in confusion.
"I gave them everything I could! I let Dark live with me! I protected Amy from everyone that tried to hurt her! I even got paralyzed for them! I went through three months of pure hell to hope I would ever be able to see them again! Then they go behind my back! It hurts Nexus! I just want you to kill me now! Please!" I begged in tears. Nexus looked at me in shock and rested his hand on my shoulder.
"Your broken. Your mind is in hell. You truly want me to kill you, don't you?" Asked Nexus calmly.
"Nexus, that's all I want now that Amy fell in love with Dark. I want to die and I want you to do it. After all you deserve it more then anyone." I replied.
Nexus nodded his head in approval. Then lifted my head up so that I was looking into his eyes.
"I can't kill you, and you know it. At least not yet. You still need to do me a favor then I'll do what you asked." Replied Nexus.
"You know I won't tell you Nexus." I stated.
"And you know I won't hesitate to get my answers by force." Replied Nexus.
Nexus looked at the battery.
"Where are they Shadow?" Asked Nexus.
I didn't reply.
Nexus put his hand on the battery while moving his face towards me.
"Where are they?" Asked Nexus again.
I immediately spit in his face.
Nexus instantly hit the power and the electricity began to go through my body. I couldn't move and the pain was unbearable. My ankles began to smoke and turn black from the burns. Nexus stood up and walked towards the table while letting the power stay on.
Nexus picked up his combat knife off the table and slowly walked towards me with a small smile.
He gently sat down and flicked off the power.
I instantly lowered my head as my ankles burned beyond belief.
Nexus began to chuckle.
I looked up at him with a small smirk.
"You ready to talk?" Asked Nexus.
"I've been talking." I replied.
"You fucked up twice. You have one more chance. Or me and my little friend here are going to get a little bit more touchy." Stated Nexus while holding up his blade.
I watched the blade as he twirled it in hand. That knife had cut off limbs and heads so many times the stainless steel is no longer stainless. I watched back on ARK Nexus cut off a prisoners arm all the way through the bone without stopping. The man gave us what we wanted, but only because he was dieing from the pain.
"Where are they Shadow?" Asked Nexus while getting in my face.
I hesitated and Nexus came close to my face with that blade.
"Ring!"
My phone went off just as Nexus connected the blade to my fur. He slowly lowered the knife and reached into my jacket. He pulled out my cell and looked at the id.
"Someone named Silver is calling you Shadow." Stated Nexus as he showed it to me.
"I think we will just ignore him." Said Nexus as he rejected the call.
A split second after he ended the call my phone beeped, signaling a text message.
Nexus rolled his eyes and looked at the message. He read it out loud.
"Hey Shadow, its Silver. Me and Amy wanted to know when you were going to be here for the Christmas party. Call me back when you get this message."
Nexus began to chuckle as he tossed my phone on the table.
He approached me again with the knife and asked.
"Do you want to go to the party?"
I slowly gave him a smile and replied.
"No. They wouldn't want me there anyway."
"Whys that?" Asked Nexus.
"I'm unstable and I think if I go I would kill Dark." I replied.
"Understandable." Stated Nexus.
As I waited for him to continue I was wondering if anyone knew I was gone.
Amy's POV
I made it to Silver's house in time to wait for the rest of the guests.
As I sat on his couch, I was contemplating weather or not Silver was able to convince Shadow to join us.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Silver stood up and ran to the front door.
"Hey Silver!" It was Dark and Shade hand in hand.
I turned away in disgust.
"How was it last night?" Asked Silver.
Shade quickly kissed Dark on the cheek.
"We had a good time." Replied Dark.
"I'm glad you got my message because your brother hasn't replied to me yet if he was coming." Stated Silver.
"He's probably getting ready." Said Dark.
Silver nodded and welcomed them into his home.
Dark and Shade immediately came to me and sat down on the couch.
"He Amy, where's your boyfriend?" Asked Dark.
"Your brother. I have no idea." I replied.
"You ok?" Asked Shade.
I didn't reply.
"Was Shadow that bad?" Asked Dark.
"Screw you Dark! We didn't even get to do it!" I yelled at him.
Everyone stopped and turned to look at me in surprise.
"What's wrong Amy?" Asked Silver.
I began to cry and I looked at Dark.
He knew what I did.
"You told him without me!" Shouted Dark.
"I had no choice! I couldn't have sex with him without letting him know I almost fucked his brother!" I yelled.
Knuckles and Julie-su looked at us with shock.
"You two almost had sex?" Asked Knuckles.
We both nodded.
"Aren't you mad?" I shouted at Shade.
"Dark told me last night. I took it pretty well considering me and Shadow almost had a few close calls." Replied Shade.
Shadow mentioned that. I replied.
"Where is he?" Asked Dark.
"I don't know. He left after breaking up with me last night." I stated while crying.
"He broke up with you!" Shouted Dark.
"He yelled at me Dark…and he hurt me. He said he was just a monster and he couldn't trust us anymore. He left after saying he never wanted to see me or you again." I cried to him.
"Did you tell him we never penetrated?" Asked Dark.
"I tried but he didn't want to hear it. He pushed me away hard and drove off." I replied.
"That's not Shadow. Something's wrong. Where did he go? "Asked Shade.
"I don't have a clue." I replied.
"I'll give him a call." Said Dark while pulling out his phone.
We all watched as he waited for him to answer.
