As the night went on, Sonette kept Amy close and avoided Shadow. Sonette didn't like him and something felt off around him. Sonette was helping Amy get ready for the night.
"Stay with me, please." Amy pleads as she turns to face Sonette and grabs her hands. Sonette smiles.
"I won't leave you." Sonette tells her and Amy smiles.
"Thank you." Amy said as she looks in the mirror.
"You look amazing Amy." Sonette said.
"Thanks, this use to be my mother's. She gave it to me to wear, this is the first time of me wearing it." Amy explains.
"Come on, they will be waiting." Sonette said as she pulls out the mask she wore at her birthday ball and puts it on.
"Good idea." Amy said and Sonette puts her arm out. Amy links arm with her and the pair starts walking. "If anyone asks, you are my date or something. I don't want to dance with another man." Amy tells her.
"I can do that." Sonette said and Amy smiles.
"Great, thanks." Amy whispers.
"Anytime." Sonette said. They came to the ball room to see everyone was here. Sonette and Amy heads to Lionel and Grace who both smile as Sonette and Amy walks over.
"For a while, I thought you two weren't going to come." Grace admits.
"Sorry, it was my fault. I took so long to get ready." Amy tells her mother.
"Are you ok Sonette?" Lionel asks.
"I'm fine." Sonette replies. "Just praying."
"Everything is going to be fine." Lionel tells her and Sonette nods. Then Shadow and Mephiles walks over. Amy looks at Sonette and Shadow chuckles.
"What's so funny?" Sonette asks.
"Sonette." Lionel warns her and Sonette sighs.
"I was told you were killed over 16 years ago." Mephiles said.
"They failed, I managed to get away." Sonette replies.
"How?" Mephiles asks.
"Luck." Sonette replies and Mephiles sighs. Sonette got worried on why Mephiles was asking so many question. "Come on Amy, let's get a drink." Sonette tells her.
"Good idea." Amy said and the pair heads off. They got a glass of wine and stood in a corner by themselves. "Are you ok?" Amy asks worry,
"No, Mephiles was asking too many questions about me getting away." Sonette replies. "I think he's a Babylon." Sonette whispers.
"No, he couldn't be." Amy said and sighs. "They could be, I mean, they were so mad when we broke the wedding." Amy tells Sonette.
"Of course, you marrying Shadow. The reason why Elizabeth force to marry my father was to get close to my family. Their way to get close to you was Shadow marrying you, but because of the change of plan, that went south." Sonette explains.
"Wow, I never thought about that." Amy said.
"We need to be careful." Sonette tells her.
"We do." Amy said and Sonette sighs as she looks at Shadow who was staring at them.
"I have a silly idea." Sonette starts.
"What is it?" Amy asks.
"Go to your parents." Sonette tells Amy who nods as she walks off. Sonette then sits her glass down and walks over to Shadow who chuckles. "Stop staring at Amy." Sonette tells him.
"Or what, you will kill me?" Shadow asks.
"Don't temp me." Sonette replies.
"That's cute, you think you could kill me. You're a woman." Shadow tells her and Sonette walks closer with her head over his shoulder and her hidden blade just touching Shadow's belly.
"I'm not just a woman Shadow Hedgehog, I am an assassin, a fight and one wrong move by you, will get you killed." Sonette whispers and Shadow chuckles.
"Maybe next time sweetheart." Shadow said and walks off. Sonette walks over to Amy who grabs Sonette's hand.
"What was that?" Amy asks.
"Nothing." Sonette replies. As they night went on, nothing went wrong. After the ball, Amy and Sonette got ready for bed. After their baths, Sonette helps Amy into bed.
"What did you and Shadow say?" Amy asks.
"Nothing for you to worry about Amy, trust me." Sonette tells her and Amy nods. Sonette then hears a knock on the window so she slowly walks over to see Fire. Sonette opens it and Fire climbs in.
"Sorry, is this a bad time?" Fire asks.
"It's fine." Amy replies.
"That's good." Fire said. "A moment Sonette."
"Sure." Sonette said and they walk out onto the balcony, closing the door. "What is it?" Sonette asks.
"Mephiles the Dark and his son, Shadow the Hedgehog are part of the Babylon." Fire warns her.
"I was right, they were going to make Shadow and Amy marry so they could be closer like Elizabeth did with my father." Sonette said.
"Yes." Fire whispers.
"Damn it." Sonette whispers.
"You knew." Fire asks.
"No, I just assumed it." Sonette replies.
"Just be careful." Fire warns her.
"You too." Sonette said and Fire nods, then heads off. Sonette walks in and locks the balcony door.
"What is it?" Amy asks.
"I was right about Mephiles and Shadow." Sonette replies and Amy sighs. "Your father can't find out, not yet, not while they are here." Sonette tells her and Amy nods. Sonette then walks to her bed and lies down. Later that night, Sonette hears a creek and moans as she rolls over so she was on her side, facing the door. She assumed it was nothing. She was then grabbed and a cloth placed over her mouth so Sonette quickly opens her eyes and screams into the cloth to see Shadow who was smiling.
"Don't worry Sonette, you won't be hurt, much." Shadow said as everything slowly went black.
