Chained {Shadow}

[CrimsonHedgewolf]

Of all times... this just had to happen now... but, why!? For what reason, everything was a blur, she didn't understand anything! Yet, here she was... without a word to anyone, just mere thoughts running through her messed up mind... she didn't know what to do... neither did she know who she was anymore...

She was caught... trapped... chained down basically... it didn't make sense. How did they even find her? And how did they know she was sensitive to high pitched sounds? So much in fact that they managed to knock her unconscious with the sound waves. Still... little did she know that had been monitoring her movements, all they waited for was the right moment... and so, here she was...

Wasn't this a little too extreme though? Her feet were shackled to the ground, she was kneeling with her arms above her head, they were chained up from the wall, her body appeared quite bruised and beaten, she had a few cuts here and there, all signs of severe interrogation. What did she do? Were they angry at her due to what happened all those many years ago...? Why'd they do this to her...?

"I just... don't care anymore..." she muttered desolately to herself, this was all just so depressing, so tiring even... they wanted information from her, but she didn't know what to give, she had no idea what they wanted! She had no information, no knowledge of anything that they might've needed, yet those fools obviously thought she did! These humans were pathetic!! She cursed such beings for creating her.

And so, she just knelt there, looking empty at the ground before her, remaining in the cold cell with security guards watching her, what did they expect her to do? Those morons... no, she just stayed quiet. her coat had been torn off, so she was quite cold, all she had was her red tube top, leather pants and boots, but they looked a little torn from the beatings.

She just couldn't understand anything anymore...

Maria watched her best friend as he talked on the phone. What were people saying to the hedgehog? What did they want him to do? She was very curious, though she couldn’t do anything. The blond just had to wait until Shadow would get off. And then, only then, she could try to get him to tell her what was happening. Sadly, as the hedgehog hanged up the phone, he didn’t say a thing, which made Maria think. Alright, so it was obviously a mission of some sort, but just what? She was about to say something until her friend turned his head to look at her.

“Stay here.”

She simply nodded his head. She was used to it when Shadow would just disappear and leave her all alone. As much as she wanted to spend time with him, she knew he had his duties to G.U.N. and she respected that. She’d just have to wait when her only friend would come back before they could spend time together. And with that, he was gone with a flash. Letting out a sigh, the girl sat down, resting her back against the wall. And she would be there until Shadow the Hedgehog returned.

“Where is she?” the black hedgehog asked one of the security guards with a serious tone. He wanted to get this done and over with. The security guard pointed at a cell, and then Shadow walked over to it. Interrogation. That was his purpose today. But was there anything to ask? She looked like she has already been beaten a lot as he entered the room. She would’ve cracked by now if there was something to hide. He honestly thought this was a waste of time. He didn’t think he’d get anywhere, so why should he bother? Well he had the answer. G.U.N. wanted him to. And he was completely loyal to G.U.N. and he’d do any mission, no matter how much he didn’t want to.

Kneeling down next to Crimson, his emotionless eyes looked into hers. “Is there anything for me to ask?” he asked the hedgewolf. Was there anything to ask? He didn’t she had anything to say. Did she? So he decided to start with that. Of course, she would probably just spit in his face. But he had to try, since G.U.N. asked him too. And with that, the Ultimate Lifeform waited for her response.

Crimson's empty red and yellow eyes just stared at the ground, no tears were beginning to form, she just didn't see the point in crying, but... slowly becoming emotionless wasn't healthy for her, like she cared, she held no feelings for anybody, she had no one, so why hadn't she been destroyed yet? She wasn't pitying herself, she just saw no point in her creation, she had no purpose... all she was... was a failure...

She was silent as a trickle of blood dripped down her mouth, she was in pain despite her threshold, but they had beaten her quite badly, she was sure a few ribs were broken, even her left eye was blackening. This was barbaric... how low were these forsaken humans!? She had commited her crime and she had to pay for it every day of her living! Was that not enough punishment!? Obviously not...

When she looked up, she didn't react to seeing Shadow kneeling opposite her, his empty eyes just stared into his emotionless ruby ones. "There's... no point in asking something that provides no answer..." she strained, her voice sounded like she had a bad cough, she didn't sound like herself, and the emptyness in her voice didn't help either, she had said the same thing to the G.U.N troops, but they resorted to hitting her. No doubt Shadow would, too...

Surprisingly enough, Crimson didn't hate Shadow, she hated the humans, but not him... she wouldn't spit in his face for doing his job, but neither would she spit in the human's faces for what they've done to her... that'll bring her to their level. "Why am I even here...?" she sighed, lowering her head weakly, she was tired, she had been her for days now, stripped of food and water to quicken the process of her snapping. As much as she wanted to give in, she forced herself not to.

Besides, it wasn't like they'd get answers from her, she had none to give, really... no, if she snapped... the events of 45 years ago would occur once again, she didn't want that... even though these people deserved it. "Do with me what you will..." she muttered, about ready to collapse, the only thing stopping her was the fact she was chained, this was just agonizing now...

She had heard a few moments before Shadow arrived that they'd be running tests on her, that just sent fear through her, she hated being treated like a test subject, it only reminded her that she was one...

The hedgehog simply nodded at Crimson’s reply. She was right. But he still had to continue with the interrogation, because it was his mission and his Commander wouldn’t be pleased if he came back with none information, even though there was none to give. He’d just have to look like he tried his hardest to get information out of the hedge wolf. Shadow noticed the injuries that Crimson had. Had the humans did that? That was probably the case. The thought of the humans doing that made the black hedgehog sigh. It seemed that talking the truth out of people wasn’t their first method. They just had to resort to pain. Well, he knew he wasn’t the one to talk. He couldn’t lie and say he hasn’t used pain to complete a mission before.

Why was she there? He didn’t have an answer to that, so he didn’t care to answer. He just continued to observe the one who he was interrogating. She was ready to collapse, Shadow could clearly see that. He didn’t like the words she had said though. “No. I’m not going to hurt you, unlike the other humans who had tried to interrogate you before. So I suggest telling me everything before I leave, otherwise the humans will get the opportunity to hurt you even more.” the Ultimate Life form told her with his cold and dark tone. He wasn’t there to be nice and make her feel good. He was there on a mission and that was it. “So let’s start with what you were feeling before the incident that took place 45 years ago. You can either choose to reply with an answer or face the humans’ way of getting the answer out of you later.” And with that, the emotionless eyes of his stared into hers, waiting for an answer.

(Bleh, crap post. Don't hate me XD)

[CrimsonHedgewolf]

Never ending ticking continued in Crimson's head, she felt like a time bomb ready to go off, yet it never would, instead... It. Just. Kept. On. Ticking!!! Was there ever going to be an end to this!? She was getting sick of the same questions! The same explanations! What was wrong with these people!? Did they enjoy hearing her tell the story of how she killed her two friends that she had ever had!? Was watching her sadness as she told it that satisfying!?

She just didn't care now, raising her head, she glared at Shadow, maybe not intentionally, but she was getting very sick of people asking her questions that she had either answered, or that were impossible to answer. "Pathetic..." she spat vehemently, twisting her chains and gripping them, almost close to ripping them out of the walls "...those humans proceed to ask the same questions, they're given the same answer, told the same exact story, even whilst being connected to a lie detector machine... and yet... I'm still kept here like a prisoner who has much more to tell..."

A small strained yet rather insane-like laugh escaped her, this beating was obviously getting to her, along with the pressure, it was so hard to not just snap right there and go into a blind rage and fit of insanity. Quieting down, Crimson just closed her eyes, attempting to calm herself... her tone of voice became softer, more relaxed...

"For the last time, how I remember it is that I just came to be one day, like I just woke up in this body... no memories of childhood or parents, your usual memories whilst growing up... but the thing is... I had already grown, I was no child, though more like a teenager of sorts... though I still had much to learn... without parents... I knew nothing..." she sighed, if Shadow needed to hear this, then fine, but it'd be the last time she'd ever repeat this ever again.

"My creator is a mystery not only to G.U.N, but to myself, also... I don't know who created me, I was never told... I don't even know where I was created, no one ever told me... I was only ever taught to fight, to use myself as a weapon... fragments of chaos emerald data were infused into my body, therefor heightening my senses of their whereabouts... also giving me the powers that I was born with..." she wished that she could've rubbed her head at that point, this was just getting a little frustrating now "little did I know... I was deemed a failure due to my emotion, they had the intentions of creating something that wouldn't question what was good or bad, and something that didn't possess a "heart"... whatever they mean by that..."

"Though... back then I knew something wasn't right about me, but... I never thought of myself as an experiment... or a project even, I thought I was my own being, free-will and such... obviously not," she sighed, bowing her head once more "during my time there, I had befriended two young humans... Sophia and Justin, offspring of one of the other scientists, a female... they treated me much more kindly than the others... like I was... one of them..."

This was getting ridiculous, it was the same story over and over, just to repeat it only repeated the feelings she had when she had killed them and everyone else. "They taught me about the outside world, telling me that so many people would want to meet me and get to know me, they said I was a protector, not... a destroyer..." Crimson stopped as she shut her eyes tightly, she was never one to cry, but picturing Sophia's innocent face was more than enough to break her, luckily, she held it in.

Opening her eyes once more to look at Shadow, she sighed. "I honestly don't know what I was made for, but I've accepted that I'm nothing more than a creation with no purpose... anyway, every afternoon I'd have tests run on me, they would inject me with a substance that would cause me to shake and increase my anger," Crimson shuddered, that very drug had caused her to become something she didn't want to be "...too much to the point where it made me sick, I'd see colours of red and black... the forms of others would slowly change to the point where my brain sees them as threats... I don't know what this drug was called... every time I'd ask, I'd only be punished..."

Thinking back, Crimson knew that was the reason why everyone had been killed, it was their fault, but at the same time, no one needed to be killed, and she was the one who had to live with it every day.

"More or less to the point, I killed everyone... they're dead, there's nothing I can do about it now... I've explained this enough times already, I don't know of my creators name, I don't know where I was created, and I don't know of the drug they injected inside me and before you ask, no, traces of the drug cannot be found within me as it dissolves into the bloodstream and conceals itself within you, there's nothing else I can answer about this, I want the exact same answers that you all want, and if I had something to hid, no offence to myself, but I would've snapped by now..." she shook her head whilst sighing, these people were either persistent or just plain stupid.
