This is the first chapter of the story of Angel the Echidna, the adopted daughter of Rouge the bat and Knuckles the Echidna. If you haven't read True, Undieing Love yet I sujest you do, it explains Angel in it and how she was found. Anyway, on with the story!


"Angel, you promised!" Yelled a 4 year old female red bat. She had purple wings and violet eyes. She wore a pink jumpsuit and pink boots similar to Amy's, and white gloves. Her ears were flat against the back of her head, which meant she was mad.
"I don't care Treasure! I have more important thing to do then play with you!" Angel yelled angrily, her arms crossed over her chest (one of the three signs she was getting mad). She was a 15 year now; she wore a silver dress, silver high heel boots, silver gloves, and silver bows on her front two dreadlocks. Her dress covered a red five point star shaped crest on her chest, and nothing covered her spikes at the elbows. Her violet eyes were closed, another one of the three signs she was getting mad.
Treasure's lip began to quiver. Damn it! Angle thought angrily. "MAMA!! DADDY!! ANGEL WON'T PLAY WITH ME LIKE SHE PROMISED!!" Treasure yelled, crying.
Rouge flew over quickly. She lifted up Treasure (obvious who named her, isn't it?) into her arms, holding her closely. "Angel, is there a reason you don't want to play with your little sister?" Rouge asked, her ears twitching slightly in irritation.
A blush formed on Angel's face, she looked down at the ground and uncrossed her arms. She began to fiddle with her fingers. "Melody said she saw...Damien in Station Square earlier this morning." Angel said she had turned about the shade of red of Knuckles by now.
Rouge's ears perked when Angel said the name of her adopted son. "Your still looking for him...I didn't think you'd give up." Rouge said with a smile, Treasure had been forgotten by this point. "Well what do you expect; I've been raised in a family who becomes determined to have what they want no matter what." Angel said sweetly.
Rouge sighed, many memories coming back to her, most of trying to steal the Master Emerald of course. "Even in the end...you still got the Master Emerald..." Angel said, looking into the distance. "And I got your father as well." Rouge said simply.
"I have to go; I have to go even if there's the slightest chance that I'll find him!" Angel said her tone was desperate. Rouge sighed again. "Fine, you go try to find him; I'll stay here and play with Treasure." Rouge said, letting the crying girl in her arms down. Treasure's ears twitched happily when she heard her mother would play with her. "Yay, I get to play with Mama!" The young girl squealed. Her squeal turned out to be a supersonic blast of sound. "Ok, I'm off." Angel said, pulling out her jet black bat wings. And with that she flew into the distance.

"She's still looking for him after five years...determined, isn't she?" Knuckles asked, wrapping his arms around Rouge from behind. "Well she has grown up with us as her parents." Rouge said. "Being around us has made her pick up a few traits, most of them from you." Rouge said, giggling a little. "Ya, like what?" Knuckles asked laughing. "When she gets mad she crosses her arms over her chest like you, she closes her eyes when there is no danger of being attacked when she's mad like you, and she gets that black aura around her when she's mad like you." Rouge said laughing. "...yeah, that's true. But she got her determination from the both of us." Knuckles said, kissing Rouge on the cheek. "Come on Treasure, let's play hide and seek." Rouge said, closing her eyes and beginning to count. "Come on, I know where we can hide." Knuckles whispered, picking up Treasure and running off. A smile spread across Rouge's face.
