Knuckles

"Silver, do really mean that?" Amy asked in shock. Silver had just finished explaining.

"Yes Amy I do. Shadow has been getting most of the army to help, after we get more people we're going to attack the King and take over, we have more people from your village coming to help too. I believe Shadow said something about a Rouge and Maria coming to help get you out of here, and back to Princess Blaze's kingdom" Silver blushed a little at Blaze's name. He had only met her once when she came to visit Sally-they are cousins- and he had to show her around the palace grounds.

"Really!? Rouge and Maria are alive?!" Amy was now more shocked then she was before, tears then weald up in her eyes but she was smiling. "Oh that's brilliant!" She exclaimed.

"But Amy, I'm afraid we have to take you back to the King now…" I trailed off; I watched her smile turn in to a frown.

Sonic pulled Amy closer to him (if it were possible) and growled lowly, in a territorial way "She is not going back to that bastard!" Sonic narrowed his eyes and continued "Isn't there anything you can say to the King?"

"No, whatever we say the King will not have, he will go get Amy himself" Silver replied.

"Sonic I have to, if not we will both be punished" Amy's eyes then let one tear out and fall down her face, but Sonic quickly whipped it away and kissed her forehead, he then reluctantly let go of her.

"But Sonic you are going to join our forces and help us over take the palace?" I confirmed.

"Yes" Sonic agreed, "Anything for Amy."

I and Silver then took Amy by the arm she winced, but we had to do it, and lead her out the door; she knew not to look back.

Amy

We arrived at the King's door in what seemed like a matter of seconds, I did not want to be here.

"Good luck Amy" Silver whispered to me.

"Yes" Knuckles agreed "You'll need it."

I felt another tear role down my face but quickly whipped it away with my sleeve. They then knocked on the King's door, and then went it.

The King was sat on his bed reading, but looked up at us-well me- and smiled.

"What took you so long, I was getting lonely" I shuddered. "You are both excused come back at the normal time to collect her."

"Yes sire" Silver and Knuckles said in unison, bowed then left, closing the door behind them.

The king then continued to do what he did every night.

After for what seemed like days, the guards finally came to take me away. But not before the King washed me and dressed me. I was now in a long emerald green dress, which had long sleeves to hide my scars. Knuckles and Silver didn't take me by the arm because they knew everyone would be asleep.

When we went back to the ceils, we saw the guard asleep, Silver then hide me behind the wall Knuckles went in. I gave him a questioning look but he only put a finger to his lips, prompting me to be silent.

I heard Knuckles and the guard talking. "The king has requested that Amy stays with him tonight and is not to be questioned. However he has had a little to drink tonight, and is most likely to ask you how Amy was tonight, if so just agree and say she was fine. Is that understood?" Whispered Knuckles.

"Yes" I heard the guard whisper back.

"Good." I then heard footsteps approach us, Knuckles turned round the corner and winked at me. What are they up to?

One of them then put their hands over my eyes, and told me to walk. I did as I was told, hoping that I could trust them. They then pulled me to a stop. I heard a door open and then they pushed me forward again.

The hands that were once covering my eyes were then removed but only to be replaced with another pair of hands. I then heard the door close, but not before I heard Knuckles' voice say "Have a good night Amy" and then Silver chuckling.

They didn't actually send me back to the king's chambers did they? The pair of hands then left my eyes, before I opened them I felt warm, toned arms wrap around me. I smiled; I knew who these arms belonged to. I opened my eyes and turned round in his arms; I wrapped my arms around his waist and breathed in his sent. "I had to make sure you were alright" he said to me, his arms tightening.

"I'm fine, now that I have you nothing matters anymore" I answered truthfully.

"Thank god" He breathed a sigh of relief. "Come on, you must be tired" he said breaking the silence before I could agree-I was so exhausted- he picked me up, the way a man would his bride, and carried me to his bed.

If it was any other male I would have been afraid, but I trust Sonic. He pulled back the covers and placed me in the bed. He then asked me "You are ok with me sharing the bed with you aren't you?"

He was so thoughtful "Yes Sonic, of course I am" I told him with a smile, he smiled back at me and got into bed.

Pulling the covers over us, I snuggled into his warm arms, soon falling into a deep slumber.

I awoke to the warmth of Sonic's body and soft sheets over me. I was in the same position I was in when I feel asleep last night and I really don't want to move. Sonic was still asleep, giving me time to look at his features. He was so handsome…

Sonic then opened his eyes, showing me his shiny emerald orbs. I could look at his eyes forever, they were so enchanting. A smile crept onto his face when he saw I was awake, he kissed my forehead sweetly. He hadn't kissed my lips yet, and I was so hoping he would, I would do so myself but I want it to be perfect; after all it would be my first kiss (that I gave willingly).
