HIIIII! Yes, I'm back! And with a new upload! It's been a loooooong week and I'm so glad to be back and to write again. Also, put your hands together for I have been given...a 3rd place medal! Ok, yes, it's not gold, or silver, but remember that I got 4th four years ago? I wanted a medal and dammit, I was going to get it! I don't care if it's emerald, ruby, or whatever, I'm proud I have a 3rd medal. :3
Also, for my good friend mT Shadow, he made a new version of Love Struck. His old story he made a long time ago, and my character, Alicia, is going to be in it as a main character. Sadly, she's not with Espio, but with his OC, Raptor. So, please go and read it, ok? It's pretty good, too.

Chapter 8
I held him tightly as tears began to fled my eyes. My mind was racing like a raging bull. I had finally found my knight. My knight who rescued me! I felt so happy I didn't even noticed that I was hugging him...too tightly. I heard him slightly groan in pain, but stiffen from my embrace. It's like he was never held before, or showed any warm love from anyone. I then felt him gently grab my arms on the top and pull me off. I looked to see him staring at me with slight pain, shock, and confusion in his ruby eyes.
"Please...refrain from your embrace..." he asked in a slight demand.
I slowly nodded, but my body wanted to keep a hold of him for a good long life. I just found him and I didn't want to let him go. Sir Lancelot slowly moved his hands off and kept them to his side resting on the couch. He held one to his waist groaning still from my hug. I looked down feeling foolish that I have had done something so childish, "...I...I'm truly sorry..." I whimpered using my hand to wipe off the tears.
He looked back up at me seeing how sad I was. I didn't mean to hurt him. I just wanted to hold him once more. I then felt a warm touch come to my sticky cheek as he raised my head up to his vision. His ruby eyes were so gentle, I felt lost into them. "It's alright, my lady. You have no reason to apologize." he replied.
"But...I was childish to do such a thing while you are hurt..." he shook his head.
"I'm all right now. Thank you for your caring nature." he smiled at me.
I blushed completely. He truly was a kind gentleman. Just as I have always been told. Sir Lancelot took his hand away again looked around, "This is your home, yes?" he asked as I nodded.
"Yes, It is.".
"I remember this place. Rob 'O has always wanted a house in the woods. The thing he always wanted as well was a family.".
I nodded and replied, "He did. I have asked many times if he wanted a wife. He said yes, but he just couldn't find the right one. but...he had me. He always said I was his treasure." I smiled after that.
Sir Lancelot grinned, "I am glad he was able to raise you as a fine young woman you are." he said looking back at me, "I told him that you are in need of a parent, or guardian to be taken care of. He agreed in a heartbeat.".
I giggled. It sounded like him. Rob 'O was truly a wonderful caretaker. He was like a father to me. He treated my wounds, my aching heart, everything. It was a shame to see him pass on. I wanted him to stay much longer, but his life was too hard to live any longer. Staring at him now confused, I asked, "How do you know him, sir?".
Looking up to remember, he said, "Well...he and I were childhood friends." he looked back down at me, "He was always such a nuisance. I was there to save him from anything. I was like what you call a babysitter for him." he chuckled.
I giggled as he went on, "We were then raised up to fine young lads. I wanted to show how great I was. I became a knight in training. He became a blacksmith's apprentice. He was very good at making weapons, and shields. Through the years, we became what we were able to become. I became a knight of the round table, and he was a well known metal handling smith. After the next year, he then decided to venture off to find another place to settle down and make his treasures to show all around. I wished him good luck and he was off.".
"Oh my..." I gasped.
"Before the horrible tragedy from your hometown, I notified him of what had happened and needed his help. He is a blacksmith, but he was a trained swordsman and archer as well. One of the best. He came just after I had come to the village. When I found you, a small meek child in need of help, I knew he would be a good caretaker to you. So after I brought you to the safe place, I quickly rushed to find him and told him to take you away and back to his home. I should know...he was struck with pride that he was finally given a chance to care for a child.".
Smiling at his life story, I remember how he was truly a wonderful father. I missed him dearly. I began to tear up having just a few come down on my cheeks. Sir Lancelot quickly noticed and held up his hand placing it back on my cheek and wipe them off with his thumb, then said, "Do not cry. Know that where he is, he is in a very safe place looking down at you and smiling seeing how strong you have become.".
My smile had brightened the second he had said that. I have always known he was watching me, but it was still hard knowing that I am to never see him again, but that he is there in the room watching and protecting me. I nodded for his reply. I never realized that I was staring at him for the longest time. So has he. We were not able to even move...until.
'Knock! Knock!'
Loud knocks were heard from my door. I quickly moved up from my seat having him take his hand back once more. I rushed over to the door grabbing the handle and open it. It was one of the farmers from the village. My eyes widened slightly seeing him bloody and scraped. Possibly from the fight, "Yes...?" I asked.
"Amelia...please! You must come with us!" he replied in a terrified look.
"What is it?".
The farmer held his tears in, but replied, "It's Sonic! He's in trouble!".
