A.K. a new story by the amazing me. This was sorta inspired by when I watched the movie Tangled, it's my mom's favorite movie. I don't know, I just kinda want to write a medieval story with princesses and knights and stuff. So I hope you like it!

Amy was standing in her part of the Royal garden of her castle, surrounded by beautiful colors of all the roses she could have wanted. She loved roses, they were her favorite flowers. She felt she could just let herself go in the sweet scented aroma of the fatal flowers, allow herself to feel their soft petals caress her skin, and maybe, if she was lucky, get pricked by a thorn. In all her sixteen years of living, she never got pricked by a thorn from a rose, for every rose that was given to her was cleared of the pointed spikes. To be completely honest, the sharpest thing she ever held in her hand was a fork, no one allowed to her to touch a knife or anything that could cause her to bleed by just touching it. her food was always cut small enough for her to fit into her mouth, her envelopes were always already opened when she got them, but was assured that the letter had not been removed from within the folded paper nor read by anyone, her feather pens were always rounded at the tip so she couldn't stab herself on accident. She bled only a few times in her life, and that was when she lost teeth, and that was it. whenever she came close to falling, a guard caught her before she could hit the ground, and she rarely falls. Her mother had taught her ballet and that gave her grace and balance that most women envied.

She picked one of the roses n her garden, one of the roses in her garden, running her finger along the flawless stem, inhaling the scent within the pink petals. She had every colored roe there was, in her garden, everyone of them except for a black rose. She had only seen one in paintings and heard of them in books she has read, but she's never seen one for herself. She wanted to hold one, even though they were known as a sign of misfortune or sometimes death, she didn't' care, she just wished that she could smell one. Every rose may smell a like, but there was always a different feeling to each one she smelt. She had asked her parents to find her a black rose, and they had told her they would give what she wished, only when she received the bouquet of "black" roses, was she upset. They were simple white roses that had been painted black to look real. She had thrown them away after her disappointing discovery, but didn't dare let her parents know of her sadness.

A black rose was not a the only thing she desired, she also wishes for nothing but a moment outside her castle's wall. They weren't tall at all and she could easily climb over it, but guards were always around when she went outside. She was never alone outside. She had questioned her parents why she wasn't allowed to go on the other side of the wall, why she couldn't see the people of her kingdom in person. When she had said this, they had brought a few villagers into the castle so she could give them a private tour. Amy knew they meant well, and gave her whatever she wanted, but it wasn't always exactly what she had in mind.

Amy's head shot up when she heard loud pounding coming from her side. She looked over the small wall, seeing an elderly looking rabbit hammering a piece of paper to a tree. Amy was able to read what it said. Wanted: Dead or Alive. Sonic the Hedgehog, 300 rings reward and Amy could make out her father's signature at the bottom, right underneath a picture of a rather handsome blue hedgehog, but she couldn't make out specific details about him. The only thing that she really thought of him was that he had to be some criminal if her father was the one enforcing the finding of this . . . boy, and 300 rings would be quite the reward. Though she wasn't sure that even if she saw him, she wouldn't turn him in, he did look rather handsome of what she could see. Amy shook her head violently, like she was trying to get the thought to fly out of her ear. What is she thinking? She's to be married to a very handsome, wealthy hedgehog in a few weeks. He was handsome, but he just wasn't what she had hoped her parents would have chosen for her, but most of all, she had wished that she could at least choose who she marries. The man she was to marry was Shadow the Hedgehog, a duke, and he was nice, polite, he treated her like a lady and respectfully. He brought her roses almost every day, but he was . . . to quiet, to preserved, not exciting enough, not that Amy had really ever experienced anything exciting in her life.

Amy sniffed her rose once more before holding it up to the sky and allowing the rose to blow away in the gentle breeze. She stood up from her kneeling position on the stone path that went through the center of her garden, and also circled around it. She smoothed out the wrinkles on her white dress, pulling up her red corset that laced in the back and slightly in the front. Under the red corset was a floor length white gown with off the shoulders sleeves, and it revealed much of her cleavage, but that's what her parents make her wear a corset for. She turned her back to her beloved garden and walked towards the giant wooden double doors that were held together with iron locks. She nodded at one of the guards to unlock the gate and went in, walking down the stone hallways into her prison of a home.

Sonic smiled mischievously as he peeked out from behind the tree he had been relaxing under, kicking the unconscious guard that laid beside him. Everything was going as planned, not that it ever didn't. Everything Sonic did went as he wanted, that's why he was the most wanted thief in the kingdom. Sonic started to strip the guard of his armor, getting part 2 of his plan into action. He slid the armor over himself, underneath he wore red shoes he had stolen from the local tailor that would cost a lot of money. They had a white stripe going across the top with a gold buckle on the sides. He had a belt loosely sitting around his waist, holding his knife for cutting rope and a rope that he would use just in case he came across any problems. Around his wrists were leather cuff bracelets that were as solid as a shield, very helpful when under attack. He slid the armor over his blue fur, and last but not least, tucking his blue quills inside the helmet, closing the eye panel thingy so no one could see his emerald green eyes or the small scar that went down is left eye. Most girls that didn't know he was a criminal swooned over him, saying that the scar looked manly. And he loved getting attention from the ladies, but he never stayed to give it back, since he always had to be on the run from the kingdom authorities.

Sonic was going to use the armor as a disguise to get into the castle and steal some very beautiful jewels he had heard some of the younger guards talking rather loudly about. He hadn't heard everything, but heard that inside the castle they had beautiful jade jewels, and he wanted them. He could easily use his incredible speed to just run in and steal the gems without anyone even noticing, but what was the fun in that? He loved the adrenaline of almost being caught, that's why he always hints at people that he's a thief, but he never gets caught.

He made sure that the guard was out and would stay out for a long time before he tossed him behind a shrub, turning towards the castle and started to strut towards it. Out of the corner of his eye, he made out pink, but by the time he turned to see what it had been, it was gone. He wasn't sure what it had been, but it disappeared into castle. He shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was one of the servants that worked for the castle.

"Princess?" Amy turned at her the sound of her label and saw her dear friend, Cream the Rabbit with her Chao friend. The young rabbit wore a long dress with bubble sleeves and her ears had ribbons tied in them.

"Hello, Cream. Hi Cheese." Amy giggled when the Chao flew into Amy's surprised arms, making the young Sakura princess stumble slightly.

"The king wishes to see you in the throne room." Cream said, smiling shyly as she took Cheese from Amy's arms

"And will you be accompanying me?"

"Not today, Cheese and I are going to the market with my mother soon. Goodbye, Princess!" Cream waved as she trotted off the Chao flying after her. Amy waved a gloved hand after them before turning on her bare footed heel and going the opposite direction she had been heading.

Amy was standing before the iron embodied wooden doors of the royal throne room that her father spent most of his time in. She pushed the door open slightly, poking her head in to see if he was there. She stepped all the way in when she saw the white hedgehog sitting on the tall chair and walked over, curtsying politely before walking up the small group of steps and kissing him on the cheek.

"Hello father." Amy said tiredly. She loved her father dearly, but she was not in the mood to have another chat about her engagement with Shadow. He knew that she didn't want to marry so young, and not to someone that she really didn't love, but he was insistent on her marriage.

"Hello, my dear. Have you decided that you will agree to the marriage?" the white hedgehog with five spiked up quills asked. It didn't matter if she agreed, she would still have to marry Shadow whether she wanted to or not.

"I've told you my answer, father, what else is there can I say?" Amy begged him with her eyes just to drop it, but she knew what was coming next. He told her the exact same thing every week, the words the exact same from the week before.

"Darling, I want you to be happy, but trust us, with Sir Shadow, you will be happy. And it is the best for our people. You know your duties, you know what you are to do when you marry Sir Shadow. You are to have children, do as Sir Shadow says, and rule alongside him."

Amy always blushed when her father spoke to her about having children, it was never a comfortable conversation with anyone to have. But she hated having it with her father the most, for she would always try to make her father reconsider the marriage.

"Please father! Don't make me marry Shadow, I'm not ready yet! I'm still young." Amy begged, losing her princess composure.

"Amelia, we've had this talk several times, and I will not have it again. You will marry Sir Shadow in a week, and that is finale!" her father stood up, beating her in height by a good two feet. Amy glared at her father, angry tears filling her eyes. When he reached down to wipe one of the tears away and try to persuade her to go to Shadow willingly, but she ran away from him before he could touch her. She opened the throne room doors and slammed them loudly behind her, making sure to make the walls tremble from the impact.

"Princess?" a guard that had been standing outside the door tried to stop her from running, but she got away to fast. She was thankful that she wasn't wearing shoes right then, they would have slowed her accelerating speed as she ran for the exit of the castle. She burst through the doors, not even waiting for a guard to open them for her. She threw them open with such force that they hit the outer stone walls of the castle, smashing loudly against them. She marched out into her garden, and before any of the guards could stop her, she fell into one of her rose patches. She crushed the now harmless flowers beneath her, letting herself get stains on her skin and dress. She stood up and ripped the flowers out of the ground, kicking them away from her. Her father had given these particular ones to her, the other's she would leave be. She tore the white roses to bits, throwing the tattered stems over her shoulder and ripping petals into small pieces.

It looked like a tornado had hit the area, but there wasn't a single rose untouched in that section of the garden. She looked over her shoulder at the confused guards that were watching her intently.

"Do you mind leaving me be for a short while? What good would running away do, you all would find me within minutes." She said, keeping the sad and angry emotion from showing in her voice, by making it monotone and gravely. She heard the guards retreat reluctantly, and she didn't plan on running away. It was the truth that they would find her shortly after running. There were guards covering every square inch of the forest around the castle.

After she was sure that they were all gone, she broke down. She dropped to her knees, resting her elbows on her legs and covering her eyes with her hands. She doesn't cry a whole lot, so only after a few tears were spilt was she sobbing with dry eyes. It doesn't matter how sad she is, she will only be able to cry for a few moments.

Amy rubbed the dry tears away from her cheeks, stood up and started to turn to leave when she came face to face with a guards uniform.

Sonic had watched the beautiful pink form run from the castle and go right for the rose garden he had seen earlier. He had caught a great look at her before she suddenly dropped, disappearing behind the four foot wall around the garden. He joined a small group of other guards and watched as the girl ripped the flowerbed in pieces. She stood up after that, and with her back to the guards, spoke.

"Do you mind leaving me be for a short while? What good would running away do, you all would find me within minutes." She said in a voice of no emotion. While the other guards stood there, trying to decide whether to listen to her, Sonic looked her over from behind. She had a perfect figure of an hourglass, her pink quills fell down her back in beautiful waves of pink locks. Sonic had only caught a glimpse of what she looked like from the front, and one thing she caught was green. It sparked curiosity to know what she looked like from the front, so when all the other guards started to walk away, he hid behind the castle wall and watched her. After a moment, she dropped to her knees and her shoulders started to tremble as she cried tears. Sonic wasn't one for comfort, he rarely gave it out, but something about this girl . . .

He silently jumped over the short wall and started to walk up behind her. She stood up then, rubbing her eyes and turned, standing only a few inches away from Sonic. She looked up at him, and he was happy that he had the helmet on, but he still was amazed by her appearance. And when he saw her eyes, he understood what the younger guards had been talking about. Not actual jade jewels, but her eyes . . . they were the most pure jade color he had ever seen in a girls eye, and if they weren't sparkling with emotion, you could easily mistake them for gems. Her eyes were the most eye catching about her appearance, but there were certainly other things. Sonic secretly licked his lips at the size of her bust, which was being hidden somewhat behind a red corset that was hugging her figure tightly. Her quills framed her face like a picture, and sitting in the nest of quills was a diamond encrusted tiara.

She backed away from him a few feet, obviously uncomfortable with the closeness. He stepped forward, not wanting her to move away. He came to his senses then. He came to steal jewels, and no matter what, he was going to get them . . . even if they weren't exactly what he had been expecting.

"Who are you, guard?" she asked, feeling intimidated by Sonic. He lifted the visor of the helmet and let her look into his emerald green eyes that sparkled with mixtures of adoration, amazement, and curiosity. He kept the scar hidden and just allowed her to see his eyes. She stopped trying to back away and stared into his eyes.

The guard was scaring Amy as he continued to follow her as she moved backwards away from him.

"Who are you, guard?" she asked. He rose his hand to his helmet and lifted his visor slightly, revealing green emerald eyes. They were . . . beautiful. They sparkled with life and excitement, with mixtures of other emotions that Amy couldn't make out at the moment. They were incredible, but Amy didn't remember ever seeing one of the guards with eyes like these. She's seen every guard without their armor, they've been around since she was young, except for the new recruits. But she was always there to welcome them to team, it was one of the many things she enjoyed about being a princess. She was mesmerized by his eyes, but she caught the slightest glimpse of blue off to the side. Blue. She shifted her gaze over to the tree that had the wanted poster. The same blue.

"Remove your helmet." She ordered, her voice trembling slightly in fear, but curiosity was outshining it.

And he did, slowly, he eased the helmet off his head and she gasped. It was the thief, Sonic, the one that was wanted for 300 rings. She was certainly right about him being attractive, but she couldn't let him get by with being in the kingdom and no one knowing. She was about to yell out for help, but his hand clamped over hers, and then he wrapped his arm around her chest, trapping her arms to her sides and her back against his chest.

"We better get going, now." He laughed in her ear, he pulled her into his arms, and they were off, Amy frozen in his arms in fear and wonder at the speed. She was in trouble, big trouble.

So what did ya guys think of the first chapter? I like the beginning, but I'm not so sure about the end. I wasn't entirely sure how I was going to have Sonic kidnap her, other than just grab her and make a run for it. So this is either going to be multiple chapters, or only a few, or it might be discontinued if I get bored with it. see ya next chapter!
