Chapter 8: "Well shite!"

Blaze's POV

'This can't be happening! This can't be happening!' I cried mentally as the dark demon pressed his cold lips against mine. He gripped my wrists tightly in one clawed hand and held them above my head, leaving his other hand to roam free, and if I knew this constantly lust filled devil well, I knew his hand would most likely roam my recovering body. I felt his lips part and his tongue began to lick at my lips, before trying to squeeze through, of course I kept my lips together as tight as possible, which irritated the demon, and he broke the kiss much to my relief.

I gasped when I felt his clawed hand on my throat, his hand squeezing it more and more as each second passed. "D-don't!" I cried out and began to struggle, which resulted in me being thrown to the floor and being pounced on by the animal that was a lustful Mephiles. Again his left hand had my wrist pinned above my head, while his right gripped my chin tightly. He bent his head down so he was by my right ear. "Why won't you be good for me? Why must you always make life hard for everyone?"My eyes widened as he spoke. I make life hard for EVERYONE? "Wh-what?" I whispered looking up into his hypnotic jade eyes. He merely chuckled and licked my cheek, which made me shiver. "You make life hard for your friends sweetheart, take Shadow for example, he's smitten with you, that's an obvious fact, but how does he feel knowing that his romantic interest is carrying my baby? He's pretty pissed right?" He laughed as he traced a claw over my lips. My ears fell flat against my head and I turned my head to the side, which made the demon chuckle. "And let's not forget that blue cutie, who took a fancy to ya." He winked. "Ohh I was watching you, I saw what he tried to do to you, he wants ya, badly he wants you for his own, but he can't have you can he? Think how your relationship with Shads is affecting poor little Blue. And what about that pink chick? We all know she fancies the arse off Blue Boy, and his love for you fucked up their friendship, so that's another life you fucked up! And then there is that slutty bat, care to explain why she doesn't live here anymore? Guess it was because you stole ole Shady boy away from her eh? Wow, you've caused a lot of destruction without even knowing it! Then there's that Ami chick, still loyal to you, but only out of sympathy of course! Hmm lets see who else? Oh! Then there's the Guardian h-" I stopped listening, I didn't want to hear anymore. Was I really hurting everyone else so much? I'm the one to blame for everything wrong between us all? "No..." I whimpered as tears began to form in my eyes.

"Oh yes" Whispered the demon as he leaned in closer, his mouth at my ear, which he gently licked before he spoke. "You're the cause of the heartache your friends feel, it's best if you left, and never returned, just let them be, let them be happy for once." He said as he released my wrists and got up off me. I didn't bother trying to make a run for it, I didn't even bother to get up, I just lay there as his words replayed in my mind. I didn't want to leave my friends, I love them they're the only family I have, even if I have screwed up a few relationships, I'm willing to apologise and do whatever I can to make it up to them! Without them, I'm nothing. Without them, I probably wouldn't be here. They are, pretty much the reason I'm still alive. They kept me sane, they stopped me from doing something I'd regret, they were there for me, I can't leave them! "I don't want to leave them." I whimpered as I sat myself up and looked up at the dark creature. "Fine, stay and make them hate you even more." He sighed. I shut my eyes tightly as I felt more tears rolling down my cheeks. "Come with me sweetheart, I'll make it all better, you won't have to deal with these bastards anymore." He whispered and I re-opened my eyes and looked up at him. He then knelt down in front of me. My body began to shake as he reached out and took hold of my chin, gripping it gently. He leaned in so close that our noses almost touched. "Come with me, you won't be hurt anymore." Now, that I had to question. "Not be hurt by anyone, except you?" I whispered and slapped his hand away from my chin, earning a growl from the demon. I crawled backwards away from him, my ears flat against my skull. "My friends love me! I know they do!" I cried out, and saw the fury in the demons eyes. "Knuckles!" I screamed as my back hit a wall. "KNUCKLES!" I continued to cry out for him, even as the demon crawled towards me on all fours, snarling, showing his pearly white fangs. I wrapped my arms around my stomach protectively and gasped as he came closer and closer until he was hovering over my lower body, he sat on my leg and ripped my arms away from my stomach, and placed a clawed hand on it. "Don't!" I cried out and shoved him away, which earned me a slap to the face and a sharp tug on my ear. "Ah! Stop it!" I yelled and he let go of my ear then got off of me. I sighed in relief and looked up at him, and winced as he stared at me, his jade eye filled with a mixture or anger and lust, two things he'll take out on the nearest person. Tada, me, isn't life grand?

The demon growled as he pointed a claw at me "You." He then pointed towards the bed where the deceased rabbit once lay. "Bed. Now!" I shuddered and shook my head "N-no!" That did it. He snarled and grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled me to my feet "AHH! Fucking let go!" I screamed and gripped his hand tightly trying to keep it close to my head to lessen the pain. "Let me go! Knuckles! Help me!" I screamed, and was then shoved onto the blood covered bed. My eyes widened as the dark hedgehog crawled onto the bed, and on top of me. My body began to tremble as he leaned down, his lips almost touching mine. He never kissed me though. He placed a clawed hand on my forearm and stroked it with his claws. It didn't hurt, it tickled slightly. But, he found it. He found the mark from the branding iron. He sat up, and pulled me up with him. He held my arm in his hand and gently kissed the brand mark.

I shut my eyes tightly, as the memory of that day came back to me. It was so painful, it was so cruel, how could he even do that to me? A flash of the scene appeared in my mind, as Mephiles gripped my arm tightly.

"why are you doing this? Can you not see how much pain you are causing him?" I screamed at the ebony and pale azure male, who only laughed insanely.

"You're a smart girl, you figure it out"

He came towards me, causing me to back into a corner of the garage.

"W-why are you hurting him? Why are you making him feel such pain?"

Another insane laugh came from him, and he kept coming towards me, until his nose was touching mine. I made a move to push him away, but I was unsuccessful.

He pushed me into the corner further, his body pressing against my own. I couldn't smell any alcohol from him. So he knew what he was doing, he's not in a drunken state. He knows exactly what he's doing!

He looked at me, an evil toothy grin plastered upon his face.

His gloved hand made it's way to my lilac locks, running his fingers through my hair, while the other hand grabbed my chin, forcing me to look into his dark green evil eyes. His finger then gently traced over my lips. I tried turning my head away, but both of his hands then held my head in the one position, not letting me move my head an inch.

I felt such fear, but I dared not show it, for it would make him think he had me.

"You know, your lips are so soft, and they are just begging to be pampered."

And with those words said, he forced his cold, pale, chapped lips against mine.

My eyes only flew open in shock, and I tried jerking my head away. Only to be bitten on my lip hard enough for it to bleed.

I cried out, which was the biggest mistake, for his tongue plunged into my mouth, causing me to gag. I started hitting him in the shoulders, trying to reach his head, but his elbows had my upper arms pinned against the wall.

He finally released my lips. "You will be mine, my beauty, I'll mark you as my own!" He grabbed a fist full of my hair and pulled me forward. I gasped in pain as he dragged me across the garage. I was dragged over to small fireplace, with a metal bar sticking out of it.

He picked up the bar by the handle, taking it out of the small fireplace, where a fire was blazing.

The end that was in the fire was glowing red, and it looked like it was in the shape of the letter M.

My eyes widened as I realized what the bar was, I tried to make a run for it, but he still had a fist full of my hair.

"Guess what this is." He brought the branding iron closer to me, I could feel the heat coming from it.

"Do you know what it's for?" "Y-you're not really going to use that a-are you?" Shit shit shit shit shit!

"I already said that I was going to mark you as mine, and see that M at the end of the bar? That is the first letter in my name, and to make sure you don't forget that your mine…"

He threw me to the floor, making me land on my stomach. He sat on my back, holding my arms behind my back.

"No! Don't!" I tried struggling, but it was no use, he had me where he wanted me.

"Don't worry love, it'll only hurt a good while." He laughed insanely, and rolled up the sleeve of my jumper, and held my arm in place.

"Don't!" I screamed.

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"AAAAHHH!" I screamed so much my throat was already horse.

After about ten minutes, he removed the branding iron from my arm. I was still screaming, the tears were streaming down my cheeks.

I cried out when I was flipped over onto my back.

"There ,that wasn't so bad was it love?" He laughed again, but luckily, the way the he was laying on top of me, my legs were in between his own.

But finally I got the courage and I kneed him in his private area, causing him to roll off of me, and gasp in pain. I took advantage of the moment and ran out of the garage and straight home. I never stopped to look back or anything, I just kept running, like in Forrest Gump, when he's running away from the bullies, while that girl is screaming "Run Forest, run!".

I opened my eyes and tears began to blur my vision. I felt a claw trace of the letter M that was branded into my skin. "Why did you do this to me?" I whispered. I closed my eyes as I felt a cold tongue lick my cheek, I snarled at him but he only laughed and gripped my chin tightly. "I did it to mark you as MINE! You are my property, you belong to me! When your friends and the police took you away that day, they were actually stealing. Hah, you'd think the humans would know their own rules." He chuckled and released my chin, and began to nuzzle my neck before kissing it and the odd lick it. I only lay there, staring up at the ceiling summarising my life in one word. "Shit." Mephiles then stopped his licking and looked down at me. "What's shit?" He asked and licked my cheek. "My life basically." I sighed and looked away from him. I only heard the psycho laugh at me "Your life isn't shit it's just very...interesting. Besides what's shit about having ME as your kids daddy?" I looked up at him and sighed. "Everything." He wasn't happy to hear that. My ears fell flat against my head as his claws dug into my forearms. "Ahh! S-stop that!" I cried out, but was silence by a rough kiss. I screamed into the kiss as he clawed at my arm, I felt blood trickle down my arm. Why was this happening to me!

"Knuckles! Knuckles help me! Ah! S-stop!" "Hey! Hey BLAZE! WAKE UP!" My eyes suddenly snapped open and I gasped rolled over, trying to get away, but came in contact with the floor. "Ahh, h-hurrt." I groaned and rolled over onto my back. "Blaze are you ok?" I gasped and quickly sat up. "WHERE AM I?" I cried looking around, only to find the red echidna standing in front of me, looking down at me. "Um you are in your room, Blaze." He said as he offered a hand to help me up. I took it and he helped me to my feet. I quickly took both of his hands in mine and squeezed them tightly."D-did you find Tails?" A look of confusion appeared on his face. "Um, why would I need to find him?" My eyes widened and I quickly left the room and headed for the kitsune's room, with the echidna calling after me. "Blaze wait!" I burst into the Kit's room only to see the fox, rabbit and even the little blue chao sitting on the bed happily munching away on popcorn while watching television. "T-Tails! Cream!" Both looked over at me and smiled "Hi Blaze, how ya doin'?" The fox grinned. "Are you two alright?" I quickly asked. Both nodded and Cream spoke "We're doing just fine, we are watching Monsters VS. Aliens, hehe it's really quite funny, right Cheese?" "Chao! Chao!" They giggled and turned their attention back to the movie. I sighed in pure relief, but, my body became stiff when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked over my shoulder to see the guardian behind me. Again I sighed in relief.

Knuckles gently patted my shoulder "You can tell me what's wrong over some hot chocolate. Okay?" I smiled and nodded "Sounds nice." He smiled and gently took my arm, I winced and pulled it back. "What's wrong?" asked a worried echidna. I looked at my forearm, and saw three long bloody lines over the brand mark. "Blaze? How'd that happen?" Tears began to form in my eyes and the guardian wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. "He's back." I whimpered and buried my face in his chest.
