Normal POV
Arctic was definitely paralyzed, unable to figure out just what the hell happened while many questions buzzed throughout her mind.
'How did GUN find her? Why didnt Shadow or Scourge come out to at least help her? Most importantly, why'd Luna do all that when im the reason she became a slave years ago, it wouldve been more than fair if I was taken.' She thought, finding the strength to get to her feet and ran down the halls, finding the two masters in a living room.
They were both sitting, cross legged on a dated, faded couch that matched the rest of the room and castle. But that wasnt important, what was now was getting her sister away from GUN before they dissected her, all to find out how a phoenix-winged hedgehogs inside was like.
Although, the two males were silent, looking around the room in a silence, making the fox know that they could very well have heard Lunas plead for help, but decided to just ignore her.
"Um, didnt you hear what just happened? GUN came and took my sister!" Arctic said, earning glances from them and nothing more.
"Yeah, they were coming for me but I told them I had something better. Something they had been searching for many years, and suddenly im off scot free." Shadow said, earning a growl from Arctic.
"So you dont care what happens to Luna! They're going to cut her open and kill her, while for you they'd probably just make you work there, but at least you'd get to live!" She said, storming out towards the entrance, her hand just about to grip the doorknob while instead a hand roughly gripped her arm.
Turning around, it was Scourge who stopped her and didnt look so happy at her outburst.
"Your not going after her if thats what your planning." Scourge said, his ice blue eyes growing cold and careless.
"Its because of you she's gone, what if I was captured! She'd do the same!" Arctic snarled, trying to get her arm free, but that just tightened his grip and made his growling louder.
"Dont care, slaves are to serve their masters which is what your 'sis' did babe. So unless you wanna get in trouble with your master, id suggest you go back in there and do your job." Scourge said, but that was the farthest thing from the white foxes mind.
"No!" She yelled but got slapped to the floor, feeling a burning mark turn her white fur red from where she was hit. It looked like blush since her fur was so pale, but on any other person it'd be a clear slap. None the less, she sniffled at how hard she had been hit, and by the person who said he would treat her better.
'He lied to me. He doesnt care if I live or die at all does he? Who would care about a slave?' She thought, tears building in her eyes. While she was on the marble floor on her knees, behind her the green hedgehog realized what just happened and for some reason...felt different about it. Fighting girls like Alicia or Anti Bunnie didnt affect him like hitting the skinny fox did. Perhaps it was because she was so innocent looking and frail without her powers, making her seem so weak and fragile as well.
"Babe look.." He said, walking over but she instantly whipped around, sliding away from him, as far as she could.
"Scourge your scaring me." She said, her softened lavender eyes showed that for once in her life since Mephiles attacked her parents, she was really afraid. Though, she didnt know why she felt like this so suddenly. It was just a slap to which she would normally respond with a swear, hit or both.
Shadow was watching from the doorway, seeing this little argument and feeling quite different himself. But not to the fox, but to the sister that he just sold out after she never left his side, even when she had chances to run away.
Speaking of running away, before the hedgehog could do anything or say anything, Arctic scrambled to her feet, her blue and black heels scuffing and slipped on the shiny floor as she just ran away without looking back once.
Right now her objective was to find the black GUN van that her sister was held in and stop it before it could be able to make it onto the Cosmic Interstate. While flying with her triple, blue tipped tails, she couldnt get the lime hedgehog out of her mind after that hit.
'Idiot, why did I even try to believe he would change, even be nice to me for once! That means Fiona was right, Scourge isnt going to change his ways for a stupid, powerless slave!' She thought, wiping away tears quickly until the van was in sight.
She quickly came up with the idea to take a shortcut up ahead, cutting a huge tree down in the road so the agents would have to stop. Her plan worked like a charm as they all came out, making sure to chain Luna tightly to a wall inside so that she had no chance to escape.
But what they didnt realize was that the tree fell on purpose by a sneaky, hurt fox that was in no mood for more pain to strike her. Not wasting a minute of this distraction, she crawled underneath the car and spiked her claws out, getting to work.
Within minutes, the thick, full grown tree was rolled to the side and they drove off, but when two agents went to the back of the van where their test subject was thrown, it was empty. All there was left was broken chains, some black, pink tipped feathers scattered on the ground and a square spot of the floor gone, showing the road moving.
"God damn it." One muttered.
"Dont worry, we'll get them eventually. Just have to strike at their weakest." The other muttered, going back to the front.
Walking back to the castle Arctic had run from, Luna talked to her about some things that had been on both of their minds since they became slaves and what happened moments ago.
"So...he really slapped you?" Luna asked softly.
"Yes...I just..I thought he really cared about me. Like he would really be the least bit nicer to me after all the hell ive endured." Arctic said, crossing her arms over her
tails for comfort.
"Look, I know how your feeling. Shadow treated me all...different, protected me, treated me right for a little bit. But then...the he showed his dark, uncaring side...thought I was living in hell, when really, id rather be Iblis's soldier and gain nothing like before." Luna said, wrapping her arms around her body with a shiver.
"But now...were basically free. We can just go to Mobius." Arctic suggested but her sister shook her head.
"I cant, its my job to be his slave. Besides, right now, no matter how bad it is, Iblis cant track me since im 'missing' on Mobius. Besides, we wont make it far in the wild with their crew." She said, walking into the castle. All was quiet when Luna walked past the two males that were arguing to her room, slamming the door shut as Arctic just stood there. Arms crossed tightly, a nasty glare from her lavender eyes, and her tails frizzing out in anger.
Scourge walked out with her, hoping something would break the silence, but the fox didnt mutter a single word, not even a glance was stolen at the hedgehog as they walked all the way home.
Arctic just stomped across the floor and went to the kitchen, starting to make some food for dinner, not looking at her master as she did so until he had to say something.
"Look Arc, I know your mad but you just cant stop talking to me." Scourge said, but she didnt respond, just taking out some meat to cook in the oven. "I didnt mean to hurt you babe, I just-" He started.
"Just stop. The only reason I came back and didnt run off, is because im a slave, and running from my problems makes it worse. So from now on, ill just do my job and you can treat me like garbage like the others do." She said, putting the dinner in and walking away, not looking back as she felt like a dagger hit her heart.
