Royal slave: chapter 9

Sonic's POV

I walked into the slave house and looked around at all the small cages. It had been almost 11 years now since i've last been here. Everything looked exactly the same it did all those years ago. I saw the cabin of the slave sellers and walked towards it. I was going to get my information weither they liked it or not.

I walked into the cabin and was met with the slave sellers. I asked for information on slave 4405. And because i was a rich snob they of course couldn't help it, but offer my a deal. I would get any information i wanted. And they would sell me a slave. I sighed as there was obviously no other way they would give me the information. And my parents weren't going to give me what i needed to know either. So i had no other choice then to go along with the deal.

I looked at the various cages. I didn't know which to pick. They all looked at me with such sad eyes. I eventually kneeled in front of a cage. "you have any talents?" I asked the kid in the cage. I wanted to take advantage from this aswell and wanted to choose one who could be quite usefull. He seemed affraid, but i knew that he would soon find that he had no reason for his current fear of me. "uhmmm...my mom and dad have always told me that i was really smart for my age." The small 8-year-old said. "so you're a genius, huh?" I grinned and thought about it. He blushed out of embarrassement and looked down. I chuckled "what's your number?" I asked. He looked down at his lower back before answering. "number 9708." He said. I smild and got up from my kneeling position. I walked back towards the cabin and payed the price for him.

Soon we were outside and once the slave sellers were inside i got the kid rid of the chains. "huh? uhmmm...ma-" He said, but i cut him off. "just call me sonic." I said and grinned. "okay, master sonic." He said. "ugh, not you to." I said in annoyence. "me to, master?" He asked. "yeah, you're not the only one who doesn't get that they should call me just sonic instead of master." I said. "oh, okay, sonic." He said and smiled. "what's the name your mother called you?" I asked. "miles prower, but my dad called me tails for short." He said. "fine, then. i'll call you tails." I said and walked away. He seemed confused. "are you coming?" I asked looking back when i noticed he wasn't following me. He nodded and quickly followed. "by the way, tell me how old you are." I said. "i'm 8-years-old." Tails replied and kept following me. "eight, huh?" I replied and chuckled. "what's so funny?" He asked loudly. I was glad he knew that he could just be himself around me. That would make everything much easier for both him and me.

Shadow's POV

I laughed. My grandparents had been telling me stories about my dad when he was younger. He seemed to be quite a caring person. Not to mention funny aswell. The stories about him always made me laugh. They had been telling me alot about my father, but now i wanted to know something about my mother. and about my heritage. there had to be something they knew about it.

"what about my mother?" I asked curiously. "do you know anything about her? her my heritage? i don't know if he was telling the truth, but the duke was blabbing something about mom being an heir to the throne. is that true? and if so, why is that right taken from me and mom." I asked them. Both of them fell silent and looked at eachother. Both of them turned to me and smiled. "let me tell you a little story." My grandmother said and smiled.
