Rouge's Point Of View

I was on Angel Island for a vacation with Knuckles, when Tails called me to help Shadow and him. I had almost had the Master Emerald, when my communicator rang from my pocket. Sure, it stopped working, but it was still such a beautiful jewel.

I pulled out the communicator and answered the call, making sure Knuckles couldn't see me. Who on earth would call me while I'm trying to steal my prize, and on a vacation no less.

"Hello?"

"Rouge we need help!"

"Tails? What's going on?" I ask.

"-captured...need help...find a blue stripped hedgehog...Shadow's house...ask him to help us!" I could barely hear what they were saying over the static but my ears at least helped me to get what they were saying.

"Hon, who's us?" I ask.

"Me...Shadow...trapped...old base...east from my shop...ask a blue stripped hedgehog for help!...name is...Mephiles...hurry!" Then the communicator cut off leaving me a bit curious. What was going on? I figured that, that hedgehog might be able to help me, but that name just seemed so familiar. I took off flying away towards Shadow's house. All I could do was hope that whoever that hedgehog was, would help.

I was hovering directly on top of Shadow's house. I had already checked inside and no one was there. Maybe he left? I decided to fly through the city. It was hard for me not to change course. My eyes always seemed go find a jewelry store. But I had to stay focused for Shadow's sake. I knew he was a herm and that his power was drained, so his situation was dangerous. I had to hurry and find that hedgehog before he got hurt.

I was searching the streets, when something strange on top of a tall building caught my eye. I flew towards it and saw the exact features of the hedgehog I was looking for. I landed on the opposite side of the building he was on and saw his ears twitch, as if he had heard me.

"Hey, you!" He turned to face me with an annoyed expression, almost as if he had something better to do.

"What's your name?" I had to confirm his name first to make sure this was the right guy.

"Mephiles, now if you don't mind, I have to find someone."

"And who might that be?"

"That's none of your business, bat." I wondered if the person he was looking for was Shadow.

"Would you happen to be looking for Shadow?" Then he turned back around and walked toward me with a glare.

When he was closer to me he started yelling. "Where is he?! Tell me!"

"Relax; we're on the same side! We just have to work together." He looked upset at the idea, but if he really wanted to help save them, then he'd have to cooperate with me.

Mephiles' Point Of View

I hate team work. I had always preferred to work alone and this bat was putting my patience to the test. She was walking in front of me down the side walk to some sort of shop that a small fox owned. On the way she kept talking about jewelry all the way there. I was too busy worrying about Shadow to care about what she was saying. It wasn't until we got to the shop that she actually caught my attention.

"What's so important going on between you and Shadow, huh?" She asked turning east from the foxes shop.

"That's none of your business."

"Then how do you know him?"

"That's none of your business either." I turn away but instead she flies behind me and puts her hands on my shoulders, almost as if she's trying to coax an answer out of me.

"Oh, come on, you should tell me how a hot, strong, gentlemen like yourself got to be soooo close to him in the first place" she says next to my ear. All it did was irritate me even more than I already was. How could she be flirting with me when Shadow's in danger?! It was already 2:00 in the afternoon. He could be hurt or worse by now!? Doesn't she realize who I am?! In anger I peel her hands off of me. Luckily she left me alone and started walking with me to my side.

"I am worried too you know..."

"What?"

"He means a lot to me too. So I don't care who you are, but apparently he must trust you or he wouldn't have asked for your help...so I trust you too." I was shocked, how is it everyone's been giving me a second chance lately? She turned towards me, as if she was looking for an answer and I closed my eyes giving a slight nod. Maybe we can work together to save Shadow.

We had been walking for a while until we reached a forest that was east, like the fox said it was. It was corroded and looked old and shriveled in some parts which told me that somewhere inside was decayed or poisoned. Through all the shrubs you could see dozens of traps used for hunting scattered throughout the trees and the ground. Whatever Sonic planned to do to Shadow in there, he did not want anyone to reach them. Rouge had already done a fly by and told me that there was an abandoned base in the dead center of the forest. Getting Shadow back was not going to be easy, but I was going to get him back. So after a quick breath, she and I charged into the forest to save the fox boy and Shadow.

Shadow's Point Of View

After Tails sent Rouge the message, I went around the room looking for something that could break Tails' chain. I was searching through a box, when I heard Sonic's footsteps heading right towards me.

"Quick! Run! I'll stall him!" Tails shouts. I stop digging through the box and run into another hallway. As I ran, I could hear Tails shout something at him to slow him down. I truly didn't want to leave him. He's too young to be left alone here. But I had to or something could happen to both of us.

As soon as Tails shouted, I heard a huge bang form the control room and Tails' shouting stopped. I stopped running at the sound and covered my mouth in realization that he might have killed him. I can't stay here and mourn about this, though or the same could happen to me. I felt horrible, as I started running again and I heard Sonic running towards my direction. I was still in my sweatshirt, so I couldn't run too fast or it would fly up. Not to mention that all I had on my feet were white socks.

I heard Sonic speed up and I could tell he had spotted me down the hallway. I turned and saw him only one foot away from me. This was not good. Then he disappeared all of a sudden. So I looked forward and there he was, standing to the side with his foot in my way. It was too late for me to stop when I tripped over him and fell right next to him.

"No, no, no, no, no..." I whispered to myself. He leaned down so his head was above mine.

"Well, well, well, you've actually been trying to hide from me.." All I could do was stare at him fearfully from the ground. All of a sudden he frowned at me.

"Stand up." He commands I slowly start trying to stand, but a hard swing to my rear end makes me collapse again.

"Didn't you just hear me say stand up?!" I was shocked. How could he kick me back onto the floor when he told me to stand up? Then he smirks as of all of this was a joke and pulls on the back of my sweatshirt, forcing me to stand up.

He forces me into his arms, so my hands are on his chest and his arms are wrapped around my waist. I turn away from him, not wanting to look in his direction. In anger he uses one of his hands to turn my face forcefully towards him.

"Why are you so against me Shadow?" He looks at me sadly.

"Don't you know how much I love you? Why don't you love me?" He asks. All of a sudden I feel anger.

"Because I love Mephiles! Not you! If you really loved me then you'd let me be with whoever I wanted! Not force me to be with you!" I yell furiously. In pure hatred he tightly grabs onto my sides. I cringed as I felt his fingers dig into me and he turns me around, shoving me into the wall.

"How dare you...I did all of this for you and this is what I get in return?!" Then he smiles wickedly at me. It was enough to make me shiver and my heartbeat raced in my chest, as my eyes widened.

"I'll just have to show you just who's boss..." He grabs my arm, dragging me down the hall.

"Hey, let go!" I yell trying to pry him off of me. I knew he was going to give me another bruise.

He tugged me all the way back to the room I was in when I first started. Once we both are in the room, he tosses me onto the bed through its silk opening. Then I see him lock the door behind him and a darker lock made from dark energy appears on the lock and shuts itself, and I know I can't get out. I watch him move himself over to the bed and he hops onto it with me.

"This can't be happening!" I whisper, trying to back up off of the bed. When I get to one of the edges of the bed that was covered in silk, I realize that they are glued to the bed and that there was no way to pry it off. I panicked and felt Sonic's hand wrap around the bottom of my leg and pull me down towards him. I yelped, as my head, heavily lands on the pillows and he crawls over me.

"I can't wait to see what you look like under me..." He smirks and I feel his breath on me as he lowers himself onto my chest. Then I jump when I feel clamps on my wrists, forcing my arms to stay behind my head. They just came out of nowhere! I struggle against them and try to move away from Sonic. My attempts were futile, but I had to try. I gasp when I feel him spread my legs wide open. I could see the glee on his face as he looked at what I had under my sweatshirt.

"The rumors are true!" He says as he tries to put his hand under it. Then I feel clamps on my ankles, keeping my legs open for him.

"No! Stop! Th-that's not supposed to be touched!" I struggled as much as possible against my restraints, but it was no use. Thankfully he stopped trying to go under my sweatshirt and instead looked at me.

"Now about that hedgehog from earlier...I believe you said you loved him?" I turned my head away from him but then I felt him force my head back again, making another bruise form on my chin.

"So you do love him...I bet he doesn't even know your feelings about him." That's right! He didn't know we kissed! I kept that in mind to use as an advantage but unfortunately my slight victory went down the drain when he pressed his lips into mine hard.

"Mph!-" I struggled under him as he kissed me but all of a sudden he stopped.

"What is this!?" He yells at me with a furious expression. "Have you let someone else kiss you? Was it that hedgehog you so claim you love?!" I was so surprised, that I couldn't respond to him, but he just laughed for some reason.

"Whatever, by the time I'm done with you, you won't want him anymore." Then he kisses me again. His kiss was aggressive and seemed horrible compared to all the kisses Mephiles had given me. I squirmed in Sonic's grip on me and felt his tongue trying to invade my mouth. I denied him entrance and my voice is even more muffled, as he kisses me even harder. Then I let out a muffled scream of pain, when he bends my tail, which peeks out of my sweatshirt, the bend was enough to break it and I felt a sickening crack curse through my bottom. In my scream, I open my mouth and as soon as I do, he swiftly slips his tongue into my mouth. My eyes widen with the sudden movement and I feel him put his hands on my sides. Then he pulls his tongue out of my mouth leaving a trail of saliva that he immediately slurps up. I pant heavily, as I finally get some air.

Almost as soon as he stops, he invades me again. In one last effort to escape him, I bite his tongue. He pulls away from me in fury. I start to reconsider if biting him was the best option. He then smirks evilly again and I feel his hands go under my sweatshirt. I panic and struggle again, but stop when I feel his hands snake above my underwear. I had to wear them, but at the time I was confident no one would notice! I shook and shivered as his hands went in and out of my sweatshirt, teasing me. I knew my face was completely red. Finally he left that alone, but instead he went even farther up to my chest fur and tugged aggressively at it. I yelped, as tears started threatening to leak from my eyes from the pain from my bottom and my chest.

"Why are you doing this to me?! How could you passably even know or care about what I do or look like?!" He smirked as he pulled on my fur.

"Why? Because I love you and the how...that's my favorite part. I had cameras installed into your house in every room including your bedroom and bathroom." I yelped as he pulled a sensitive part of my fur and I pushed harder against my restraints.

"So I know everything you've done in your home, I even know how you take showers and baths. As a matter of fact, I actually came in person to watch you yesterday morning." I was disgusted by his words. How could a person be so perverted that he spied on them in the comfort of their own home?! He broke my train of thought when he started pulling even harder on my chest fur and he kept tugging at it, until it felt like he was going to rip it off.

"The next time you try to bite my tongue again; I will make sure your punishment is much harsher!" He threatened. I nodded before he actually ripped off my fur and he let it go. He then moved his face back toward mine again. I braced myself for another kiss, but then a loud siren rang throughout the base.
