Chapter Fifteen

Devastation

For a long time Rouge sat there in the messy living room staring at the shattered window, her heart thudded in her chest and her stomach felt heavy, she could swear she could feel her heartbeat through her whole body.

Fear and devastation was mixing through her, she didn’t know what to do, or what to think, she looked down at her hands, they were bleeding from when she had fallen on the shards of glass from the shattered glass cupboard. “She then looked up around the room, she then saw the photos of her and Shadow on the walls, of them on missions, in the park and even when they were at dinner together.

Tears fell from her eyes at the sadness of those memories, now she was afraid she would never experience them again. She then looked over to the door where Omega lay dead in the hallway, Rouge then shakily stood up and walked into the hallway, blood dripping from her cut up hands.

As she walked into the hallway she stared at the broken up robot in sadness and thought about how she had released him and Shadow from that room, prisoners, but then she had set them free and they formed Team Dark. She dropped next to Omega and studied his body, the lights had gone from him, and the wires were torn and damaged.

“Oh Omega” she whispered softly, “you were a hero then…you tried to help me….” She lay her head on his metal chest as her tears fell, “Thank you…for doing what you could” she then looked up and looked around the hallway and up the stairs where everything lay in a mess.

With tears in her eyes, Rouge walked upstairs and into the bathroom to bathe, she washed her bloody hands and her hair and bandaged her hands, as she dried herself she thought of the memories of Shadow helping her out the bath or shower and drying her off in affection, she loved the feel of his hands on her body, running along her curves and her soft breasts.

“Oh Shadow” she whispered, “if only we hadn’t gone out that night” she clutched the towel in her hands as she dried herself, “If only I could turn back time and we had never gone out, you never would have been attacked” She then walked over to the bed and looked at a picture of her and Shadow standing together by the lake in the Mobotropolis Park.

“Oh God” she thought, “Shadow…if only I knew where you had gone, I can go find you, and save you….I remember saying it to you before, if the whole world is against you….I will always remain by your side….” Her tears fell again. “And I promised I would, and I will now, I’ll get a cure…find you…and save you…even if it costs me my life”

Rouge then walked to the wardrobe and began to pull on her purple catsuit and her iron boots, “I have to get to Morgana’s!” she thought, “She has to have the cure ready!” she then strapped a belt of daggers and guns around her waist, she then wiped her tears, “Hang in there baby” she whispered “I will help you…I promised”

A little while later, Rouge flew through Mobotropolis to where Morgana’s shop was, before she left she had removed Omega’s smashed body and hid him in one of the dark rooms in her mansion, she had also covered up the smashed window with a wooden plank.

Rouge flew a little further until she saw Morgana’s shop; she landed and ran inside, “Morgana!” she cried “Morgana!” she looked around the shop and saw the sorceress appear from behind some shelves. “Rouge!” she cried in worry, “what is it?”

Rouge leaned against the counter in exhaustion, “It happened” she panted, the tears beginning to fall again, “Shadow…..he….he turned” Morgana’s eyes went wide and she dropped some books she was holding, “No….” she whispered, Rouge nodded, “He’s become the beast of the night….” Whispered Rouge, “the…the werewolf…”

The loyalty of his lover, how sweet.....Rouge would never give up!
