a murder. infinite had heard of such tradegies in movies but never heard someone as nice as a single mother go through having her own daughter killed.

it was a heartbreaking story, cream was captured, stabbed to death then thrown in the river where a hiker found her body. what's worse is that the cops told vanilla they don't know who did it.

the murderer could still be out there, crimes over his head and not caring because they would never be caught. never brought to justice.

vanilla was nice enough to drive infinite home. he sat in the front seat trying his best to comfort the lady who thanked him enough for just being there.

when she made it to the front of the house, he hopped out and thanked vanilla for the ride.

"you're welcome, and thank you for talking to me." she said.

with a final wave he shut the door and watched her yellow car calmly drive off.

"infinite, where were you?" his mom asked with his father walking out of the house along side him. "it's almost night time, we were worried sick!"

"i'm sorry mom." he apologized. "i was just out looking for my friend but i didn't find him.."

"well next time, ask before going out mister." shadow scolds. "it's dangerous out there, we would have happily drove you."

".. i know i know, but i met a nice lady so no worries!"

"not everyone in the world is nice young man." sonic said. "now go shower before bed, you have school tommarow."

infinite whined "i don't wanna shower!"

"quit your crying stinky boy you have to be clean if you wanna succeed." shadow said, he scooped the kid in his arms and carried him in the home bridal style as he giggled, his wife following with a smile on his face.

...

after a nice relaxing shower, infinite changed into his pjs and hopped into bed. both parents gave him his goodnight kiss and sonic shut the light after shadow walked out.

"m-mommy, wait!" infinite blurred out remembering something. the azure mother turned watching his son point at the window. "could you.. lock the window?"

sonic raised a brow but he did just that. putting the latch of the cill down to prevent invasion.

"you know mommy, the lady who drove me back had her kid murdered.." infinite said.

"oh dear," sonic mumbled.

"yeah, it's bad isn't it?"

"yes and we can only hope nothing of the sort happens to us." sonic said patting the white mane of his son.

"it totally won't! if a guy with a knife gets near me i'll use that same knife to stab his stomach before he can lay a finger on me!" infinite chuckled

"uhh, right.." it was words like these that concerned the young hedgie parent and it's not like it was a one-time thing either. "just get some rest kiddo."

infinite nodded and shut his eyes, grabbing his teddy and hugging it when his mother left.

sonic shut the door, a sigh leaving his lips before he walked into his own room where his husband sat on the bed reading a book.

"hey shad," sonic said taking a seat by him.

"hm?" shadow hummed.

"im worried about 'fin, he's off still saying all those violent things again."

shadow chuckled and put his book down taking his wife into his arms and stoked his quills to calm him. "there you go, worrying about our little bean again. we've talked about this sonic he's just a boy. behavior like that is normal."

"i know but i feel like this is something more." sonic sighed. "i mean think about it, don't you think all the stuff he says is strange? ive heard about this in a book, kids with tendencies to hurt others are usually those who grow up to be killers."

"oh god, sonic, please!" shadow groaned. " you gotta stop watching all those killer documentaries. 'fin is a good kid he's our son for fucksake! he's just a little troubled, maybe all this teasing is making him act like this. that or, all those daily 5 hours of power rangers is making him violent."

sonic chuckled. "i guess you're right. maybe i'm just overreacting."

or maybe he wasn't because as the married couple cuddled in their bed, infinite stared at the ceiling in his own. the murdered rabbit child not leaving his mind.

it wasn't because he was scared he'd be next but because he was... excited by the thought?

vanilla showed him pictures of her and he couldn't help but wonder how she felt.

was cream scared as her ravenous murder put his arms around her? did he muffle her screams as he took out a knife forcing the blade to her throat as she struggled? the warm blood oozing from her neck and down his fingers hungering him for more. or maybe he dragged her into the forest and stabbed her ridding of her body down the river when he got bored of her lifeless body.

the thought of cream's death excited him. he imagined himself stabbing amy and her stupid goons just like how the murderer killed the rabbit. but.. he couldn't take himself thinking like this.

it's one thing to fantasize about burning her dress but actually wanting to go through it was another.

infinite wasn't that familiar with gore. the closest he's ever gotten to it was he played mortal combat in a pizza arcade and even then he only played for a minute before sonic forced him off giving the free play to someone else. and even when he wasn't so familiar with the concept of brutal death, his mouth watered at the thought of amy rose's blood on his hands.

infinite's eyes widen. he sat up fumbling for his tv controller and once he found it under his bed he switched on boomerang in a panicked state.

bakugan was on and although he preferred something else he decided that watching dan on his quest to be the best battle brawler would be enough to get his mind off things.

"why am i thinking like this..?" infinite mumbled, hand at the side of his head as he tried his best to focus on the epic battle that played on screen. he hated amy, he hated her so much but he would never want to harm her to that extent.

or would he? "no!" infinite gasped at his own thoughts. amy rose would be a thought floating in his head as he watched tv and no matter how much of the excitment of his favorite show amazed him, he couldn't get her out of his head.

you'd say someone starstruck with love could never get someone out of their head but it wasn't love when infinite was thinking about her head smushed up on the pavement in her own blood, both knuckles and gadget screaming fearing what infinite would do to them next..

somehow the show seemed endless, infinite watched about 5 episodes before falling asleep to the noise of the tv and the voilent acts of his own murder fantasy in his head.
