I'm just a slave: chapter 14

Sonic's POV

I looked at the door leading to the hallway when the yellings continued. My father growled in annoyance as he recognized the voice as well as i did. Me and my father weren't the only ones hearing shadow. Everyone in the ballroom did. My father kept growling and made his way to the hall. I didn't want him to hurt shadow so i followed him.

My father opened the door to the hallway and we were both met with some yelling. "what the hell did you mean?! tell me about my mother!" Shadow yelled to the duke, who was currently on the ground chuckling. What was so amusing to him? He had some bruises, making us know that he was able to piss shadow off badly enough to get him to hit him. My father grabbed shadow from behind so shadow wouldn't hit the duke again. The duke chuckled and got up. "come on! spit it out! answer me damnit!" Shadow yelled. He sounded almost hysteric. The duke wasn't answering. "that's it! you're going to be sold." My dad said furiously and get two servants to take shadow away. "no! he hasn't answered me yet!" Shadow yelled and struggled against the two holding him. I ran towards them and pulled shadow free from the two. The servants worked for my dad, so they didn't dare to try. "sonic, let go of him." My dad said. "no, not before shadow has gotten his answers." I said, making him growl in annoyance. I looked at the duke who was straightening his clothes out. His wife had come running to him and was dusting him off. "oh, sweetheart. are you okay? did that savage hurt you?" She asked with a sickingly sweet voice. "i'm not the savage! if there is someone who is the savage, it's all of you high class jackasses!" Shadow yelled hystericly.

He sounded so hysteric that it almost scared me. What made him snap like that? "i should've let you rot away with all those other slaves." My dad growled. he didn't pay any mind to the fact that something made him snap. He only paid attention to what shadow had just said. "you're in for it boy. you'll be punished severely." He said and turned to the duke. "i'm sorry sir. i really have no idea what came over him." He apologized. "oh it's fine. aslong as you give him what he deserves for not knowing his place." The duke said and faked as if he was badly injured. But he was obviously very amused by shadow's despair. "servants, take that savage away." My dad said and pulled shadow away from me. The servants dragged him along again. And my dad stopped me from helping him. "no! tell them what you told me! this isn't fair! i shouldn't be punished! he should!" Shadow yelled before he was knocked out.

I couldn't do anything about it. All i could do was stand by and watch. Just as i always had done whenever shadow got beaten. I watched as the servants took him away. I hoped that my dad wouldn't punish him to severely. I wish that he would have a heart and give shadow a second chance. I hoped that everything would be okay. But somehow, i knew that it never was going to be okay. And somehow i knew that this would be the last time i would ever see of shadow.
