Chapter 2: Things change
"...Be safe child..." Voilet whispered watching the blue van drave away into the distance and prayed that Amy will have a happy life before she had to face what was to come.
11 years later...
Amy Rose was now 17 years old, her grandma said she looked like her mother more everyday. That brought sadness and longing in her heart, 5 years ago, her parents were killed in a car crash though she overheard the medic tell the detective that they were already dead before the car crashed, blood loss. It sounded suspicious however Amy was not going to obsess over how her parents were killed, she rather think of them as the caring loving people they were, it was easier that way.
Over the years, she lived with her cousin Rob'O and his wife Mari-An and there son Jon, in Station Square, not much longer, as she had graduated from high school today and would by attending Möbius medical university to study medicine. She enjoyed helping people and was very good at healing, she did some part time at the hospital in the children's ward and her grandma taught her all kinds of healing herbs and recipes.
Her future was set, she be sharing an apartment with Sketch in September, everything was going according to plan.
In her hand was a bowl of Haagen Dazs ice cream, flavour Dulce de leche according to Sketch, they needed a little pleasure to celebrate. Which meant having a small party of their closest friends, and ending it with them having a sleepover.
From her name, you could guess what her talent was, she draw, sculpted, painted, anything that caught her fancy, though she was mostly spray painting around town. Another talent was the ability to see auras, energy signatures And having the odd vision. She also had mental claws that could slice through almost anything. Plus she had a black belt in Tea-kwon-do, boxing and street fighting. Which was why she was going to university to a detective.
"Tell me again why you giving up the chance to get employee discount at the hotel spa, restaurant and pool, have a summer fling with one of the guests and spending time with your best friend only to go to boredom valley?" Said best friend complained for the eighth time.
Rolling her eyes, Amy jumped on her bed making the tiger grunt, putting a pillow behind her leaning against her bedroom wall, looking at her friend "As nice as all those things sound, I told you, I need to help my grandma"
"Okay, I get it but I have got a feeling something is gonna happen" Sketch replied.
"And is it bad?" Any asked though she wasn't taking it very seriously, rolling her eyes the tigress hit the pink hedgehog with a pillow.
"I'm serious something is gonna happy I don't know what yet something is stirring. Mark my words." The feline warned the pink hedgehog wiggling her finger her.
"Un huh, until then watch out for flying pillows" Sketch looked up confused only to have white thrown in her face, as Amy giggled.
"Oh it is on now" she mocked growled before hitting the laughing pink flower with a pillow. Soon enough the pair fall into a massive pillow fight giggling and laughing away. As this would the last time they would spend together over the next few months unaware of what was happening this very second.
Miles away, deep in a large wooden land forest, right in the centre near the lake a huge boom fire lit the mysterious trees. Around the fire were four male hedgehogs. A light blue old hedgehog with thick white eye brows and a thick white mustache and small round glasses, went near the fire, he was wearing a brown jacket with a small bag hanging on his shoulder. Icy blue eyes stared at the dancing flames before he took out a hand full of sand and threw it at the flames. It roared, spark and ash flung in the air when suddenly it calmed down, changing into blue in the centre of the fire, an image started to merge.
It reveal a female hedgehog sleeping away, her fur was Sakura pink, her muzzle was a light cream, her lips were full and breathing lightly as she slept, her eyes were closed however, no one could miss her long lashes that lay on her cheeks, her quills were straight just going past her shoulders. You couldn't see the rest of her, though it didn't matter. The three other hedgehogs were struck by her beauty, a rose indeed, though one of them had already lost his heart to another and no one not even the Rose could change that.
"What is her name uncle?" The most serious member asked still in shock at the young girl's enchantment.
The elder smiled, yes she is exactly what we need he thought, unlike his nephews he could people aura and he could tell that her heart was more powerful then her beauty. She was kind, very spirited and honest. Maybe she could finally rid this forest of it's darkness and bring them into the light.
"Her name is Amy, Amy Rose" he whispered.
At the same tome, on top of a black mountain surrounded by white mist, screams and cheers were heard. not from the outside of the mountain but inside. An ancient city filled the lonely mountain, black vines spread over the old stone walls like hands caging a bird.
At the far top inside the mountain an stone castle was build into the mountain itself, where sounds of cruel laughter, screams of agony and grunts if satisfaction could be heard. This was coming from the throne room, where dark dirty animals with blood dripping mouths were fighting over a female squirrel, who was trying crawl away only to be dragged back.
Around them was a square U shape table where some were either busy with their partner while the rest laughed and taunted the 'entertainment' .
Among them, sitting in the centre of the table on a stone throne with ivy vines running along the sides, sat a black hedgehog with greyish green fur steaks, on his chest was a thick white chest fur And his eyes, burning red that cut through your very soul. In his hand was a blue emerald but it was no ordinary gem, it was a chaos emerald, one of 7 emeralds.
Suddenly the emerald began to glow, bringing the attention of the dark hedgehog. Narrowing his eyes, he turned his attention to the crowd, using the emerald he throw blasts of fire balls at them silencing crowd. He flicked his wrist lazily, understanding the unspoken command they left, the guards dragging the victims away crying and sobbing though it made no difference.
Looking at the emerald, it's glow started to form an image, the dark hedgehog sat up straighter as the emerald showed a peaceful sleeping pink hedgehog. It was her, the rose was finally returning, He laughter humourlessly with glee. Finally, he would be rid of those mutts and claim not just the valley but the world. No one could stop him, he was Mephiles the dark, king of the mountain.
Calming down, he looked at the pink flower remembering what she looked like. She had certainly grown from that tiny little-
Mephiles froze, the cottage the rose stayed at the first time he found her. Rage filled him, he roared and smashed the table instantly breaking, still growling, he sank back into his throne. He couldn't kill the old hag, no matter, how tempting, the guardian long ago placed a spell on the tribes, if one killed the other then the killer shall die as well. He was glad it was one of his sergeants rather then him.
Draining the witch dry wasn't an opinion, nor was capturing her...at least until after the rose arrived. Once the rose is found the truce was over, perfect! Once the rose was in the cottage, he will kidnap her then convince her to find the 7 emerald. With three emeralds he will destroy the tribes take the emeralds and become the most powerful creature on earth. Pity he have to kill the little flower, she was rather lovely for a mortal, perhaps he could turn her. He could use a companion, not to mention rip her of her innocence with his darkness, he licked his lips at the thought.
"FIONA! SCOUGE!" Mephiles called his best guards.
The entrance wooden doors opened to reveal a emerald green hedgehog with icy blue eyes and a shark like grin. He was wearing a black leather jacket no shirt which showed two scars across his chest and on his head were red sunglasses. His body was shaking slightly with power And something much darker.
Following the hedgehog was a female crimson fox with light yellow fur and blue eyes with swayed her hips with confidence and sexuality. She was wearing a tight black leather tube top and skinny pants, fingerless gloves and black boots. In her hair was a yellow bow which didn't really match her image.
"Yes master How can we be of service?" Fiona smirked bowing while Scourge grinned evilly.
"I need you to fetch someone for me" causing the couple to widen their wicked smiles.
As the young rose slept, she shuttered slightly, feeling something was going to happen, unsure on whether it was good or bad she continued to sleep, not knowing the next few months were going to change her whole life.
