Sonette wakes up to someone jumping on her. Sonette open her eyes to see it was Lilith and Sonette smiles.
"Up we get mother." Lilith tells her and Sonette sits up.
"Right." Sonette whispers. Sonette moans as she got up and put her shoes on. Lilith jumps off and grabs her shoes and Sonette yawns as they head off. They met up with Rose and heads out for breakfast. Cira then walks over and Sonette smiles.
"I was told you will be helping me today." Cira said and Sonette nods.
"Yeah, Mr Rose told me to stay with you." Sonette explains and Cira smiles.
"Good, I could some extra hands." Cira said and Sonette smiles.
"Do I help?" Lilith asks.
"Sure." Cira replies and Sonette nods.
"Of course dear." Sonette said. After breakfast they trio heads off and got to work, starting the washing as soon as they could.
"Easy Sonette." Cira tells her and Sonette nods. Once they got the first basket done, they took it outside and start hanging it up. Lilith was too short to reach so she was passing the stuff to Sonette when she needed it.
"Last on mother." Lilith said and Sonette smiles as she grabs it and hangs it up.
"Having you two around might be great." Cira said as they head in. They started the second basket and Sonette smiles. Once that was done, Shadow walks in and Sonette looks at him shock.
"I need to speak to Sonette," Shadow tells them.
"Of course, I'll take Lilith and get this out while you make a start on the next basket." Cira tells her, moving an empty basket over, then grabs the clean washing and walks off with Lilith.
"Lord Shadow." Sonette said as she moves a dirty basket over and starts washing.
"How are you feeling Sonette?" Shadow asks.
"Well." Sonette replies.
"That's good, I came to check on you." Shadow tells her.
"I see, well I'm fine Lord Shadow." Sonette said.
"I know, I just wanted to make sure after what my father did to you." Shadow explains and Sonette smiles.
"Don't worry, Mr James hits harder than Lord Mephiles." Sonette admits and Shadow sighs.
"But you haven't recovered from everything else either." Shadow tells her and Sonette sighs.
"I know." Sonette whispers.
"I'm going to stick around for a while anyway." Shadow tells her. "Take care." Shadow then said walking off and Sonette sighs. Once she was done Cira and Lilith walks back.
"Done?" Cira asks.
"Yeah." Sonette replies. Cira picks it up and they head off.
"What did Lord Shadow want?" Cira asks curious.
"Just… checking on my after what has happened to me." Sonette replies.
"That was sweet of him." Cira said and Sonette smiles.
"Yeah, it was." Sonette said. "He's a good man. The funny thing is, if I didn't get turn into a slave I would be marrying him." Sonette tells Cira who smiles.
"That's a shame." Cira said and Sonette sighs.
"Let's get these up." Sonette said and Cira nods as they walk outside. They got the washing up and sighs. The line was almost full.
"These are going to have to dry before getting more done. You go and find April and Rose." Cira tells her.
"Are you sure?" Sonette asks.
"Yeah, go." Cira replies and Sonette nods as she walks off. She heads inside and sighs.
"Sonette!" she heard Amy call so she stops and turn around to see Amy who walks over.
"My lady." Sonette said bowing.
"I found you." Amy said smiling and Sonette looks at her worried. "Where have you been?" Amy asks.
"Helping Cira with the washing." Sonette replies and Amy sighs.
"I see." Amy said.
"Lady Amelia." Lilith whispers.
"What is it my lady?" Sonette asks worried.
"Follow me." Amy tells her and Sonette nods as the trio start walking. Lilith grabs Sonette's dress and Sonette sighs. They met up with Sonic, Amadeus, Tails and Rosemary,
"Sonette." Tails said smiling.
"Where was she?" Sonic asks.
"Helping with the washing." Amy replies and Sonette sighs.
"Sonette, Lady Ruby is here." Amadeus tells her and Sonette looks at him shock, then sighs.
"I see." Sonette said.
"She must have found you Amelia is your owner. She wants to buy you." Rosemary tells her.
"I know, she has been wanting to do that for years." Sonette said and Rosemary sighs. "When she first came, I was 15. A couple of weeks after I had Lilith and was recovering from Mr James beating. Mr James turned her down, saying no amount of money would make him hand me over. Mr Ryan… he didn't let her get me. The second time was when I was 21, after I had my youngest, Isis. Mr Ryan turned her down again but Mr James wanted to take the deal. Mr Ryan won though." Sonette explains and Amy sighs. "I thought that would be the last time but while I was Lady Riley, she went back and tried again." Sonette adds.
"I see." Rosemary said.
"Stay away from her." Sonic tells her.
"I will Lord Sonic." Sonette said and Sonic sighs.
"Good." Rosemary said and Sonette nods.
"Come on Sonette, you are staying with me." Amy tells her.
"As you wish my lady." Sonette said.
"Mother." Lilith said worried.
"Lilith, you stay with me as well. If Lady Ruby finds out she is your daughter, she will try and take her as well. She is still a rich blood." Amy tells Sonette and Lilith.
"She would." Sonette said and Lilith sighs.
"I don't like the sound of that." Lilith admits.
"You never let me go, okay." Sonette tells her and Lilith nods. "Good girl." Sonette whispers.
"This isn't going to end well." Tails said and Sonette sighs.
"Lady Ruby can't touch me so it should be fine, right Miss Rose?" Sonette asks.
"Right, don't worry." Amy tells her.
"Then everything should be fine." Sonette said and Sonic smiles.
"Right." Sonic said as Grace walks over.
"Amelia, you and Sonette need to come with me." Grace tells her. "Lilith can't come." Grace adds.
"Mother." Lilith said scared.
"I'll take care of her." Sonic said.
"Right, stay with Lord Sonic, okay." Sonette tells Lilith who nods.
"Right." Lilith said, walking to Sonic who puts his hand out. Lilith smiles as she takes it.
"Don't worry Sonette, I'll look after her." Sonic said and Sonette nods.
"Come on." Grace said walking off. Amy sighs as she follows her mother with Sonette right behind her. Sonette sighs, she has a bad feeling about this and doesn't know why. They walk into Lionel's study to see Lionel with Lady Ruby. She was a fox. She has cherry red fur, long deep black hair and is wearing a black silk dress.
"Mother, father." Amy said, grabbing Sonette who looks at Ruby.
"Amelia, tells Lady Ruby why Sonette is not up for sale." Lionel said and Amy looks at Ruby.
"Sonette isn't for sale because she belongs to me so give up already." Amy tells Ruby who chuckles. Sonette grabs Amy's dress below her hip. Amy looks at her, then at Ruby who was smiling.
"Name your price." Ruby tells her.
"Go to hell." Amy tells her. "Sonette belongs to me and I will never let her go. Ever." Amy tells her.
"As I said Ruby, you can't have Sonette." Lionel said and Sonette looks at Amy. Amy turns around, grabbing Sonette's hand and walks out, dragging Sonette along.
"That woman will not take you. I promise." Amy tells her and Sonette nods. Sonette sighs, something tells her Ruby isn't going to take no for an answer.
