Sorry if this is bad, I've lost my motivation to write... (It's not the same as writers block!)
Edit: Yeah I had a rough patch through this story for a while..
The trio had finally reached the throne room, it was large, a red rug leading to a small set of stairs leading to two thrones of equal size.
'Just one more day and that'll be mine.. Mine and Amy's unfortunately..' Sonic thought. It was good that he believed that there was going to be a tomorrow, that there was a hope that everything would be fine. Although he knew the possibility of a happy ending was slim.
"My prince?"
"Huh?"
Silver had tapped Sonic's shoulder to get his attention. Silver had pointed to the other side of the room where the king and queen stood by the windows, talking to each other, they did not seem to notice the hedgehogs presence in the room.
Shadow sensed Sonic's nervousness and gripped his hand, Sonic looked down at there connected hands then back up at him.
"Thank you"
"It's nothing love, don't be afraid, after all your parents are kind and forgiving yes?"
Sonic nodded in reply.
"My prince, can you handle the rest?" Silver asked. "I still have work that needs to be done"
"I think so.. Just be safe, after all you said that Scourge was only slowed down right?"
"Yes" Silver replied with a hint of regret.
The silver clad knight exited the room,the sound of the large doors shutting seemed to grab the king and queens attention, who immediately had looks of shock on their faces. Sonic pulled his hand away from Shadow's.
"Stay away from my son you monster!" Aleena cried out.
Shadow's eyes widened and he took a step back, surprised at seeing this side of the generous queen.
"Mother.." Sonic managed to say. "Shadow hasn't done anything to hurt me! I beg of you and Father to spare his life"
"Why would we allow a murderer to walk among us?" Jules said.
Sonic looked over at Shadow giving him a look that said 'apologize'. Shadow understood and stepped forward, getting on one knee.
"King and Queen, I apologize for what I have done, there's nothing I can do to take back my sins... I only killed so I could live"
'Only killed to live..?' Sonic thought.
Jules and Aleena looked at each other, deep in thought.
"Sonic, do you trust him? Are you sure he means no harm to you?" Aleena asked unsurely.
"I do.." Sonic answered.
"But he tried to kill you!" Jules argued.
"That wasn't his fault father!" Sonic shouted.
"Then who's to blame?" Aleena asked.
"Aww are you talking about me my dear cousin?"
Sonic gasped.
END OF CH. 36
