Fandom A Rose And A Thorn (Shadow x Amy)

[Breech Loader]

After a few minutes, Amy's shoulders started to shake, and she started to sob. Shadow felt his chest getting damp. She was crying.

Well... that was better than her feeling nothing at all.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow sighed and continued to rub behind Amy's head. Amy.....why-...actually....I think just having this emotion is better than not feeling it. He thought.

(Time Skip)

The next morning was... complicated. Amy hadn't gotten back to sleep and was still hardly talking, and kept flinching at every touch. while at the same time she'd insisted that she wanted to act like everything was normal and had gone to work despite Shadow's doubts.

But at least at work she'd be with people, and not on her own - she seemed constantly torn between wanting people close and wanting to be alone. She was still resisting the idea of going to the police. She kept saying there was no point, because there was no proof. Which meant if somebody didn't do something, Sonic was just going to get away with this, thinking that what he'd done was perfectly okay and that he hadn't shattered Amy's innocent heart into a thousand tiny pieces.

If what Amy had told him was anything to go by, Sonic probably thought she now loved him. He might even come back for her. What she'd do if he did, didn't bear thinking about.

But while Amy worked at the flower shop, Sonic would probably be at the beach, showing off by playing volleyball with himself.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow was walking towards the beach, trying to find a blue hedgehog anywhere. "You damn idiot.....I'll make sure you'll suffer....stay calm, Shadow...." He said quietly and moved towards the shack he saw, "Where the hell are you Sonic?!"

 

[Breech Loader]

The blue hedgehog was indeed playing volleyball with himself, just around the back. Tails was there keeping score - it was nil-nil. There was nothing abnormal about the situation in the slightest. In fact when Sonic spotted Shadow coming on in, he cast him the very same wide, friendly grin he always did. If Shadow had not personally seen Amy's body scrubbed raw and the hand-print bruises all over her hips and breasts and been witness to her screams last night, he would not have even imagined, even if somebody had told him, that Sonic had done the slightest thing wrong.

Sonic clearly didn't believe he'd got anything to feel bad about either. It was sickening to think about it.

"Hey, Shads!" Sonic shouted, "Hey, join us! I could use an opponent who's almost as fast as me for once!" He tossed the ball at Shadow.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow caught the ball and he threw it back at Sonic. "Not interested....." He responded as he crossed his arms, "I want answers to my questions. First off, Did you meet a Jackal during the war against Eggman?"

 

[Breech Loader]

Sonic just laughed, and tossed the ball straight back as Shadow approached, "What kinda question is that, Shadow? You mean when I was captured? That was six years ago. You talking about that dip Infinite?"

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"No, you simpleton. I'm talking about....Vex. He claimed to be Infinite's cousin. Does he ring a bell to you?" Shadow asked, crossing his arms.

 

[Breech Loader]

Sonic gave him a look as the ball bounced off his chest, "Shads, I'm getting a bad vibe off you. I mean I always get a bad vibe, but for some reason I feel like you don't like me very much right now," he laughed, "So, you've got a problem with some random guy? What, did he squeeze the toothpaste from the wrong end?"

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"You could say that.....if you could see what I've seen." Shadow glared at Sonic, "Or heard what I heard. You're trying to get away from the subject. Did you or did you not meet a Jackal named Vex?"

 

[Breech Loader]

"Well, yeah, but..." Sonic's face lit up in realisation, "Oh, OH! I get it!" he didn't, but he thought he did, "You're pissed cuz your dumb plan backfired! Right? You didn't get to make me look stupid by snagging Amy. You just showed yourself up and made me realise how much I really love her. Way to go, now she's a bigger fan than ever!" he walked up to Shadow and put a cheerful hand on his shoulder, like they were friends, "Still, the right man for the right job?"

The worst part of this was the way he thought he'd done nothing wrong. It brought up images of him taking Amy for another 'date'. And judging by the zombie-like way Amy had stripped naked in Shadow's living room and expected him to assault her, it was hard to imagine her fighting it.

"Hey, have you seen Amy?" Sonic continued, "She's not answering her phone or at home. You caught me just before I went to check if she's at work."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"What's it to you?! You're a much bigger idiot than I realized! Listen to me carefully, Blue Hedgehog, and listen well....with how small your brain is and how much intelligence it can take." Shadow growled, grabbing Sonic's arm and yanking it off of his shoulder, "Amy Rose. Does not. Love any part of you...."

 

[Breech Loader]

Sonic gave him a condescending smile, "Shads. If you seriously cared about her you'd never have pulled this stupid stunt. Amy doesn't want you any more. She told me herself while we were making love yesterday. You're no good for her anyway. I already told everybody, and you know what? They agree."

Oh god, Amy had been right. Sonic had waltzed out and confidently given his own warped version of what had happened to all and sundry. And because it was Sonic, and because it was Amy, everybody had accepted it as truth, without even asking her. Sonic's instincts as a hero had never led him wrong before. Now that they had, he was too confident to realise it. And that meant he'd do it again.

"I win, you lose," Sonic told him, "Again. Still, no hard feelings, huh?"

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"So.....you're counting think as my fault?! You were the one who asked me to take her out instead of you because you're just a little coward who always hides his true feelings with just jokes. And that's what you are....a joke." Shadow said to Sonic, "As far as I'm concerned, Amy loves me because, unlike you, I'm not a prideful little shit."

 

[Breech Loader]

There was an ugly silence.

"You know what, Shadow?" Sonic asked, his eyes narrowing, "You're the one who's sick. I picked you, because I thought she was safe with you. You seduced Amy, tricked her into throwing away her virginity on you, and now you think you own her. She persuaded me to let you off, but you'd better stay the hell away from her from now on."

It was the most disgusting, warped version of what Sonic had done imaginable. It made Shadow sound like the pervert and Sonic sound like he'd rescued Amy. It was extremely convincing. He was saying it all right in front of Tails, too.

"She loves me," he continued, "Because I'm faster, I'm stronger, I'm better looking and you know what else?" he leant in, his eyes narrowing, a smirking leer on his face that didn't belong, "I'm a better fuck."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Maybe it's because you raped her.....forcing her answers just so you and your pride would be satisfied....but you'll never be satisfied, will you? Next thing you know, You'll be with any other girl and play off the relationships like they're a cheap waste of your time. I should've ended you back on the Ark." Shadow balled his fists up tightly, "It would've been much better if you died in Eggman's captivity."

 

[Breech Loader]

"Rape?" Sonic sneered at the very idea, "You've got to be kidding me, Shadow. Why would I need to rape Amy? She's been obsessed with me for years. I gave her everything she's always wanted. And you know what? I'm gonna do it again. She could use some practice at head. Hell, you don't believe how much she likes it? I'll record it and send you a copy. She moans like a pro. When she's with me, of course."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"You blue idiot!" Shadow shouted then punched Sonic square in the chest, "You don't understand a girl's feelings unless you listen to them! You don't understand Amy at all! Why?! Because you're just a coward." He glared at him.

 

[Breech Loader]

Shadow's hard, fast punch knocked Sonic right onto his back on the sand. He coughed. And he stood up, "Oh, so we're gonna fight over her? She knows what's good for her. All it took was a couple of kisses and she came straight to her senses. I guess you're right about one thing though," he smirked again, "I do kinda have a thing for sluts..."

With that, he jumped in to swing a punch, equally fast, at Shadow's face.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"I guess you're weak on your own without a buddy to help you. If Tails, no, if anyone jumps to help.....I'll stop them....then go for you...filthy sewer rat." Shadow said as he grabbed Sonic's arm and threw him into the sand.

 

[Breech Loader]

"I don't need help to beat your fake ass!" Sonic shouted. He dropped any pretence of playing, and curled himself into a spin-dash, striking Shadow straight in the chest with a hard kick.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow groaned and slid back, holding his chest. He grunted as he staggered a little and moved his hand down while raising his other hand. "Chaos....." He started, almost snapping his fingers.

 

[Breech Loader]

Sonic didn't wait. He performed a Sonic Wind as fast as he could. Shadow never started a fight he didn't plan to end, and it looked like he was in a killing mood.

Even as the Sonic Wind knocked Shadow back into a palm tree hard enough to snap it in half, Sonic was getting the feeling that the Speed Demon really did believe he had done something wrong.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow stood up and shook himself. "I'm done playing games....Chaos Control." He said, snapping his fingers to freeze time or just prevent Sonic and the surrounding area from moving. Quickly, he dashed at Sonic and kicked him twice in the chest then his shoulder before undoing the Chaos Control.

 

[Breech Loader]

Sonic cursed as he was knocked down. He'd never gotten the hang of Chaos Control and it gave Shadow an edge in every fight they had.

"Seriously, Shadow, you don't really believe I would hurt Amy like that?" he asked, "If she didn't like it a bit rough, she'd never even let you touch her!"

With that, he curled up and performed a spindash right into Shadow's chest.
