Chapter 12.

"Ah!" A loud shriek was heard fromt he dungeons of the wicked castle as a frightened angle princess was thrown into a large cell.

Scourge smirked proudly at his prize looking through the bars to see her eyes in fear, but her body trying to stand tall and firm, "I hope your new home is well acquainted for." he chuckled before turning to walk away.

Alicia growled angrily, "I demand you to release me!" she ordered raising her hand to the bars as a fire ball appeared from her palms.

Scourge stopped and turned to see the show before him watching the princess throw the ball at the locked cell door, but instantly vanished before it could hit. He cackled seeing the surprised look in her eyes, "Oh yes...I forgot to mention that the cell doors are enchanted with a spell to make your powers weak enought to not break out.".

She glared up at him with both scared and angered look in her eyes. Scourge continued to laugh as he exited the dungeons closing the door and locking it leaving the princess and her cell mates alone with each other. Sitting down, Alicia moved to the wall of her cell folding her legs up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them including her wings to keep warm, "Whatever will I do now...?".

"Just wait, I'm afraid.." her ears perked hearing a saddened sound from the side of her cell.

There she met a young girl who wore a raggid dress full of holes and dirt and her long light blue hair was drenched in dirt making it harder to see the golden highlights. Alicia moved her wings aside to see better, "Who's there?" she asked nervously.

The girl showed her aqua blue eyes to her cell mate and smiled a weak grin, "My name is Aqua...princess of Ocieania. What about you?" she introduced. Alicia returned the small smile back.

"I'm princess Alicia of Windscype." she asnwered, "Scourge took you, too...?".

Aqua nodded, "Yes...but we're not alone, for he has brought another here." she pointed to a cell on the other side of Alicia's cell prompting her to look.

There they saw a white bat sitting down on a stone bed chained to the wall. She wore a tight 'mermaid' style dress that hugged her wide hips perfectly colored in a bright red hue with ruby gems all around the chest and scattered down to the waist. Around her was a transparent sash draped over her arms covered by black gloves. Her turquoise eyes looked up to the two princesses to show a ruby gem on her cheek a few inches under her left eye and a large, golden tiara covered in rubys, and onyxes.

She looked at the angel wolf with a rather bored look on her face before answering, "You must be the wind princess he talked about taking?".

Alicia nodded slowly. The princess smirked and crossed her arms, "Nice to meet you. My name is Princess Rouge. Crown Jewel of the flame kingdom, Flamtopia.".

Aqua chuckled quietly, "Must you act so egotistic...?" she asked.

Rouge huffed, "Well if you put it that way...yes!" she barked glaring at the water princess, "My kingdom is the land of rich and jewels! I shall say what I want to say and no one shall tell me what to do!".

"...um...how did you get here?" the angel wolf asked quietly.

Calming down, Rouge relaxed her pose and sat nicely, "Well...I was having a nice time with one of my subjects...and that green devil ended to swoon me with jewels beyond my wildest dreams! And here I am, waiting for him to release me.".

Alicia looked completely confused while Aqua just shook her head in annoyance, "Uhhh...v-very well then...who is that subject you were with before then?" The bat looked up and smiled a bit.

"A hot head...a kind and very cute one at that. He was a red echidna who worked in a blacksmith shop. He was also a fighter, and trained well, too. Lord knows what that male is up to...".

"I see...I'm worried about what my grandfather is doing right now." the wolf sadly spoke looking down at the ground, "Not to metion my trusted knight and shinning armor who would do anything to save me...".

Aqua nodded looking down at her hands in her lap while sitting on her knees, "My father must be worried sick...I just wish I could see him and Sonic again." Alicia's eyes widened.

"Sonic?!" she asked getting the aqua colored princess's attention, "Did you say 'Sonic'?!".

She nodded, "Yes, he was a knight of my kingdom. Do you know him?".

"Yes! He and his friends came to my kingdom before I was taken!" she answered, "He said you were kidnapped and promised to bring you back home safely!".

Aqua splashed eyes widened with happiness, "R-Really? So he is coming? To rescue me?!" she gasped.

"Don't get too worked up." the two looked over to the flame princess who just watched while listening, "He might just be on his way over, but he also might lose.".

"Rouge!" Alicia scolded, "How could you say that?".

"I'm only saying what I'm thinking, and I'm thinking that he possibly might not come.".

Aqua slowly looked down again feeling depressed, "...you may be right..." she spoke up softly, "But...I know he will come no matter what!".

The two looked at her seeing her eyes look up full of bravery and hope, "I know he will come! And so will your trusted knight and subject! I know they will be here to save us and nothing will stop them!".

Rouge rolled her eyes and looked away. Alicia slowly nodded and looked down unable to think up any more words. Aqua stopped her rant, but kept herself contained with the thought of her friend, her knight to come and save her from this horrible prison. Rouge kept herself locked up only thinking of things to make her happy. Jewels, gold, servants, the blacksmith...her thoughts came to the echidna she had cared about, but never said anything. He was so special to her, and his words echoed in her mind. When he watched her being kidnapped after she finally realized why he was there, he yelled out his promise to find her no matter what.

That thought was stuck firmly in her head the entire time. Each princess sat in the darkness with only their thoughts to contain them if they could.


Back in the room of Windscype castle, Amy had broken though the pillow wall and cuddled up with the knight sleeping next to her. Her arms tangled up in his while she nuzzled her head in his white furry chest. All the while, Shadow watched her now awake from her actions. He didn't move her fearing that he would wake her and end up in an awkward moment.

But something was very interesting to him. He didn't get angry that she was sleeping next to him, but he had sort of enjoyed her warm company. Her soft fur up against his felt nice, and her soft hair with the scent of flowers caught into his nose, the childish look her body had with her legs tangled up in his and huddled so tight, she couldn't get off even if she wanted to. How can he not be so angry about this?

Shadow couldn't help, but smile down at her. Even if she was a child sometimes, she was rather sweet and beautiful. Moving his hand up to her head, he gently brushed her bangs from her face seeing a small smile on her face. It warmed him up inside to see it even more cute like this.

Suddenly, a loud shriek was hear from outside followed by a coulple of shouts and running footsteps. Shadow quickly and ever so carefully slipped out of her hold and covered her back up before grabbing his sword and running out the room closing the door behind him. The sound, however, didn't wake the sleeping rose, but inside her dream began to make her stir.


A young lady hedgehog was in a royal throne room. A golden light surrounded the entire room making it look like it was a picture of heaven. She walked up to the end of the room to see pillars on each side holding tall drapes of regal colors and golden candles around including a chandelier above.

The young lady looked up to see three people in front of her standing next to the two chairs where a king and queen would sit. Looking up close, she couldnt tell what they looked like, but one was tall like a male, and the other small like a female. The other was the same height as the females, but she seemed very different. The strange thing was, their faces were missing, but she could still hear them talking.

"It's almost time, my love." the elder figure spoke in a deep tone.

The other nodded, "Yes. It is." a feminine voice replied, "It seems so long...it feels that my daughters, who I've watched playing happily are now grown adults.".

"They are, but they are still our children. And you know that nothing can take what we love so much from us.".

The elder female nodded, then hugged the other figure, "I know she will be a great ruler." she said, "I'm so proud of her.".

"Yes, her sister is, as well. She'll rule this land like we have before, but greater than ever.".

The tender scen before the young lady was quickly stopped when the doors were flung open off walls to the floors. She looked over to see a herd of black figures like a storming cloud rush in with a lime green figure behind them. The three figures huddled along with the young hedgehog watching him walk in uninvited.

"I hate to spoil such a lovely look to this family, but now I want was is rightfully mine!" he belowed out.

The elder figure stepped forward, "You are not allowed to be in here! We banished you years ago! Why have you come back?" he growled.

The wicked green male cackled, "You know what I want! And I want the future queen! I want, Amelia!" he answered in an order.

Amelia stepped forward moving the elder male aside standing firm, "Leave at once! You have no business with me, nor our kingdom!" she argued.

The young lady watched the fight standing next to the elder male and female figures. Her eyes watched the female before her, Amelia standing protectivly for her family. Her shoulder was bare to show her what was on her fur. A red rose was painted on her shoulder and wrapped around a heart. She suddenly remembered deep down of who she was.

"Now I remember..." she spoke softly.

The figure turned around as the scene began to fade. But before it could, the young hedgehog looked up to see the same emerald eyes, the same wavy hair, ad the same light fur. She saw her, someone she had known all her life, but saddly forgotten. She stared at her down with sympathy, but smiled her true smile before she disappeared.

"She...is my elder sister...Amelia..."
