Blackshade
Chapter 24: A Cry for Help
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I hope you are all having a great time with your families and are very thankful of the wonderful things in your lives.
Shadow: I'm thankful to know that you're finally updating -.-
Me: And I'm thankful to know that you suck Shadow .-.
Lol anyway let's begin :)
"Woah Scourge, your castle is beautiful!" Amy said as she walked in.
Sticks slowly walked in, sensing dark vibes bouncing off the walls.
My gut is giving me a bad feeling and I don't know what it is...
"Yo Master Scourge I'm glad your back, we ran out of liquor."
Amy and Sticks suddenly tensed up and their eyes widened.
That voice.
The girls turned around and noticed Bob leaning on the wall while staring at an empty bottle.
"You." Sticks' voice darkened as Bob looked up and noticed Sticks the Badger and Amy Rose standing before him.
Bob dropped the bottle in shock, causing the bottle to break in pieces as he stared at them in disbelief.
"I'm sorry but did I miss something?" Scourge asked as he look back and forth in bewilderment.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Amy and the stupid raccoon" Bob said as his face transferred from shocked to confident.
"BADGER!" Sticks snapped.
"You know them?" Scourge asked as he motioned toward the two girls.
"I don't know the BADGER very well but the pink one and I have a history," Bob licked his lips at Amy as her eyes began filling up with tears.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD, I SAW YOU! YOU SHOT YOURSELF!" Sticks yelled, getting ready to pounce on Bob and beat the crap out of him.
"You're right, I did shoot myself, and I did die, but I think Master Scourge could explain to you what happened afterwards," Bob said as he pointed to Scourge.
Scourge shrugged as he explained, "I found him dead and I bit him, which explains why he's a vampire"
"WHY IN YOUR RIGHT MIND WOULD YOU BITE SUCH A PERVERTED MORON, you can do so much better," Sticks rolled her eyes as Scourge shrugged, obviously uninterested in the badger's rants.
"Hey! I may be a vampire now but I have feelings too!" Bob argued.
"Don't. Make. Me. Laugh." Sticks warned causing Bob to snort.
"Yeah you're right, I have no feelings. But enough chit chat, you." He said as he pointed at Amy.
"Where have you been?"
"I refuse to give you any information, that fact is irrelevant for you" Amy said as she angrily looked at Bob.
"DAMN YOU! YOU BETTER TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE OR..."
"Or what?" Amy said as she put her hands on her hips. "You can't touch me. I'm not afraid of you anymore BOB!"
"Ohhhhhh someone grab some ice! Cause this chick's on fire!" Scourge chanted.
Bob crossed his hands over his chest and let out a growl.
"Look old man, I don't know what happened between you and Amy, but I would advise for you to say away from her. And if I hear one little complaint about you, you're. through." Scourge said as he slid his finger across his neck, signaling to Bob that he's going to kill him.
Bob angrily stomped away, leaving Amy and Sticks alone with Scourge.
"What exactly happened between you guys?" Scourge asked.
10 Minutes Later
Bob walked into his room and began breaking everything in anger.
"Ugh!"
Suddenly he heard his door opened and he turned to see Scourge indifferently looking at the mess he was making.
"Bob, your temper is as bad as Sonic's, you need to learn how to lay back man"
"HOW THE HELL CAN I LAY BACK AFTER WHAT YOU JUST DID! YOU MADE ME LOOK WEAK!"
"There's another flaw that you have, waiting."
"Huh?"
"I know everything Bob, every single detail, I guess those crimes you said you committed were done on those two girls."
"More like brats."
"Bob, you know how I told you about Sonic right?"
"Yeah"
"He was the vampire that attacked you the night that you were chasing after Amy"
Bob's eyes widened as the puzzle pieces fit together now.
"So that would mean that he's also the vampire that kidnapped Amy?"
"Yes. And let me say that ever since a lot has been going down at Sonic's castle since that MORTAL arrived there"
Scourge began telling Bob everything, from how Amy tried fitting in to how Sonic had reunited with Antoine and Amy had reunited with Sticks.
"No but here's the best part, turns out our pink friend and Sonic the Grumphog are IN LOVE"
"Amy in love!?" Suddenly Bob busted out laughing.
"Amy's a failure when it comes to love! You should've seen how BADLY this guy named Dexter rejected her, comedy gold!"
"Yes but there's an advantage to all this!"
"To what? The plan?"
"Yes, there's a reason why I ordered you to stay away from Amy and no it's not because I'm a good guy, it's because I want to gain her trust. With her out of Sonic's castle, he'll be mortified and distracted. Therefore, giving Sally a gateway into his secrets, aka the ashes."
"Okay but what does that have to do with gaining Amy's trust?"
"Sonic and Amy are in a feud right now so if I gain her trust, I can use it as an advantage for her to turn against him in the future, it's perfect!"
"Hmmm I like where you're going with this"
"And when I'm done with Amy, I'll hand her over to you and you can do as you wish. All I need is your collaboration"
"Don't worry boss I'm in."
"Perfect." Scourge said as he evilly smiled.
"Now if you excuse me I have a message to deliver" And with that, Scourge left the castle and fled toward a certain blue hedgehog's home.
Knuckles opened the door and walked in the castle, shaking his quills from the heavy rain.
"Any luck?" Blaze asked.
"Nope. They're as gone as the wind"
"Well we have to keep looking!" Antoine said, feeling very worried over Amy and Sticks' safety.
"Has anyone seen Sonic?" Tails asked.
"Not since he flew out Amy's window" Charmy responded.
"Where could he be? He's been gone for a whole hour and a half!" Antoine asserted.
Sally watched quietly as everyone discussed the possibilities of where Sonic, Amy, and Sticks could be.
Secretly, she wished all three of them were okay, she wasn't quite clear of what happened but she knew it had something to do with her.
Why do I feel so gross?
Suddenly they heard the door open and Sonic walked in with his fur completely soaked and his face looking extremely worried.
"Sonic there you are! You had us worried sick!" Antoine scolded as Sonic looked down and closed the door behind him.
"No luck huh?" Tails asked as Sonic shook his head.
Suddenly Scourge flew into the room and everyone looked shocked.
"Sonic my man, sorry to come in so late but..."
"Scourge I'm not in the mood."
"Oh so you don't want to know the whereabouts of Amy and her friend?"
Sonic turned and looked at Scourge.
"Where are they!?"
"They're at my castle, apparently you had the audacity to kick them out so I took them in because it's not in my nature to let those poor girls out in the rain like that"
Sonic's eyes suddenly began twitching, "I DIDN'T KICK THEM OUT!"
"Oh you didn't? That's not what Amy said, and when I told them that they shouldn't be out alone, they refused to come back here. So I offered to take them in and they proudly accepted"
Sonic's fists clenched.
And here I was worrying about you Amy Rose, you little ungrateful...
"Anyway I just came here to inform you so that you won't pass a night full of worry, arrivederci Sonic," Scourge then saluted and began making his way out but signaled to Sally to meet him in the backyard.
After Scourge left everyone began to comfort Sonic and Sally used it as her advantage to slip to the backyard.
"I need to talk to you," Scourge said.
"Don't you always?" Sally stated while rolling her eyes.
"I'm aware that Sonic and Amy are in a feud and I want you to take advantage of it"
"How so?"
"Comfort him, be his shoulder to cry on, and more importantly, GAIN INFORMATION!"
"And Fiona?"
"She's useless, just do as I say. Go now before they start getting suspicious"
Sally nodded as she turned and began walking back inside.
She walked into the kitchen and noticed that everyone went back to their regular tasks.
"Where's Sonic?" she asked Blaze and Cream.
"In his room," they said in unison as Sally went towards his room and noticed that he was talking to Tails and Antoine.
"Sonic I really think you should go get Amy, who knows what Scourge can do to her" she heard Tails say.
"Yeah he doesn't seem like much of a great influence."
"How many times do I have to say no!? If she wants to stay with Scourge let her! I won't stop her!"
"But Sonic I thought you loved her"
"Clearly she never felt the same way, I was always a disgusting vampire to her. Might as well forget about her."
She heard silence and suddenly noticed footsteps coming her way.
She hid behind a wall and noticed Antoine and Tails come out/
"We're going to leave you alone, hopefully it can help you reconsider."
They closed the door and left the hall leaving Sally to walk towards Sonic's door.
She knocked on the door and heard Sonic say, "What do you guys want now?"
"It's me Master Sonic" she said and heard nothing on the other end.
Suddenly Sonic opened the door and looked at Sally.
"Sorry Sally I don't want to be rude but I'm not in the mood to chat right now"
"Actually I came to see how you were doing, may I come in?"
Sonic opened the door wider and she walked in, the door closing afterwards.
Sally extended her arms for a hug and Sonic hesitated but then shrug it off and hugged Sally back, letting all his tears out.
"Why did she do it Sally? Why?"
Sally felt her heart break and patted his back.
I never thought he loved her this much.
"My life has been a hellhole since HE bit me, when Amy came into my life I thought my afterlife would turn for the better but I was wrong. Let's face it I'm damned for life."
"Don't say that Sonic"
"It's true though," He let go of Sally and sat down on the bed.
"What you and Amy had was true love, I know because the Blackshade would light up every time you and Amy touched them"
"What good does that do? Those Blackshade contain more evil than you think!"
"What do you mean?"
"Sally, I'm going to tell you something I've never told anyone since I became a vampire"
"What is it?" Sally asked, she knew what was coming.
"The ashes... of the one who bit me... are hidden within the pollen of the Blackshades..."
OOOOOOOOO CLIFFHANGER!
Shadow: I hate it when you do that
Me: Don't be such a Debbie-Downer Shadow xD
