ShadAmy How Can I Love You?

Shadow...Help...Me... Chapter 43

"Me and Shadow go way back, okay? I'm talking about like, when I was 12 and he was 14 years old."

I widen my eyes and stared blankly at Scourge. "Shadow's 20 right now?" But he's still in school. Maybe he started really late? Or maybe he failed a grade... But he's so smart, that wouldn't make sense.

He nods his head. "The oldest prick I know." He snickers. "Anyways, we were bad kids when we were young. It wasn't until one gang fight were we fought and our fate was brought together. It was because he punched me so hard, that I respected him... Until he fuckin tried to kill me." He wrinkled his nose and put out his cigarette by grinding it on the metal table.

"Tried to...kill you?..." I was stunned, I couldn't believe what I just heard.

Scourge spits on the floor. "Hell ya. He's the one that gave me these cool scars." He opens up his leather jacket, exposing the two huge claw marks going along his chest. "I should thank him for making me look more badass, but it wasn't worth the pain. Shadow shot these--these electric yellow spears at me or whatever. I nearly dodged it, but couldn't dodged it completely."

I felt sick to the core knowing that Shadow was so dangerous. But even hearing Shadow attempting to murder someone, I still love him. How can I still love him when he's this dangerous!?

"He gave me these wounds the day he also got caught by this organization called the H.I.H or somethin'. I don't know what the hell they are, but they seemed like they were police officers judging from their uniforms. Thank god he did more crimes than me because he was attracting all the attention. It was because of that I was able to slip out of the building unseen." He scoots his chair closer to the table and puts his elbows on it, locking his fingers together. "You know what they used to call him?" He laughs. "We used to call him: "Dead End." "

"Dead End?" I questioned. Wait... Is Scourge saying that Shadow's real name isn't S-Shadow?...

"It was because he was so dangerous and so intimidating, that if you ever crossed him or decided that you weren't gonna take none of his shit anymore..." Scourge brought a thumb to his neck and dragged it cross with a huge deadly smirk on his face. "You sure weren't gonna escape out alive to tell the tale."

I gasped and clasped my hands over my mouth. "N-no!!" I shrieked.

"But yes!" He replied back excitedly. "Why do you think he was wanted so badly? He stole, he killed, he conquered, and was just ruthless! Why do you think everyone never wanted to be associated with him? He had everyone sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for their dead end to happen! But they got it all wrong, you see I wasn't an idiot like the rest of the world. I had to make sure I was on Shadow's good side. What better way than to stick to him like glue?"

I grabbed my phone and checked the time. 7:10. I was late for another date of ours. But, now I'm scared to see Shadow... From the age of 14, he was already killing people? Did he kill before that age? How many lives has he taken with him? Why is Shadow like this? I... I thought he was kind... I closed my eyes shut and just couldn't bare with the facts I was faced with. I didn't want to believe them but it was proof. Shadow was dangerous, Shadow was a killer. All those articles describing Shadow and the bloody bodies they would find at the scene. All those innocent people dying because they were trying to protect themselves or their shops. I felt tears forming at the corner of my eyes and my body shaking in fear. I don't want to love Shadow anymore but..! But!!! I can't stop myself!!!

"I-is that all?" I said with a quivering voice.

Scourge began to pick his ears and stared at me. "Yup." He said while popping the 'P'. "Ever since he was released out of prison-- I think, I never wanted to be his homie ever again. Kindha surprised he was even released though."

I lowered my head and began to open my purse. I pulled out all the money I had with shaky hands and placed it on the metal table. "Thank you Scourge..." I said with sincerity.

I turned my back to him and began to walk up to the door. I grabbed the doorknob and turned it trying to push it open. H-huh..? I jiggled the doorknob and tried to push and pull the door even harder. W-what? It's not opening...? I kept trying to do this until I heard laughter coming from the other side of the door and what sounded like a chair screeching against the floor coming from inside the room. I quickly swivelled my whole body and saw Scourge slowly walking up to me.

"You know... I still haven't forgotten about that incident Shadow put me through at school in the cafeteria." He said in a low evil like tone.

I widen my eyes and started pounding on the door in panic. "Help! Someone help me!" I cried out with tears running down my face.

I heard his dark chuckle coming closer to me. "You know what happened after that? My girlfriend broke up with me..."

I have no choice! I have to break the door down with my hammer. I was about to snap my fingers together, but Scourge pushed my whole body up against the metal door, making me press my chest against it. He put both my arms in a armlock with one hand, while his other pinned my cheek against the cold surface.

Grabbed my hand, pushed me down...
Took the words right out my mouth...

He whispered in my ears in a way that sent a terrible shivers down my whole spine. "You know, you ain't half bad looking in that dress of yours..." He pushed his body up against mine. I whimpered, trying to stay strong but I couldn't. "I've been pretty lonely around these couple of days... With my girlfriend gone, I have no one else who can satisfy me in bed..." He blew hot air into my ear trying to arouse me or at least was trying to scare me even more. "Knowing chicks like you; you're probably still a virgin, am I right?"

Tag, you're it...
Tag, tag you're it...

I tried to lift my head back up and struggled out of the armlock. "Let go of me you asshole!" I cried out, trying to fight back.

He slammed his whole body harder into mine and I yelped. He chuckled evilly. "I like it when girls scream." He started rubbing his body up and down against mine. I felt so disgusted and wanted to barf. I closed my eyes shut and wished I wasn't here. "I wonder how Shadow will think if I take his girlfriend virginity, hmm?" He whispered in my ear in a husky voice.

I flung my eyes open and started to scream in terror. "SOMEONE, PLEASE ANYONE! HELP!!"

Can anybody hear me? I'm hidden under ground....
Can anybody hear me? Am I talking to myself?...

Nothing. The only thing I could hear was the revolting laughs from Scourge's gang on the other side of the door. I didn't want this. I wish someone was here to help me... I wish... I wish Shadow was here to help me...
