Kiss from a Rose: Part 2
"Can you feel the bond?
The bond we share?
We wake up together and
Hope to see the roses bloom.
I may be different, but we have
The same…the same flow…
I wish to experience love with
You…I do…"
Author's Notes: Thank you for the kind compliments you have given me. As promised, part 2 along with another flashback. It's cute, well, I hope it is. Oh...incase you have no clue who the hell Bean and Bark is when I mention them in this fic….they appeared in the Sonic the fighters game. I want to put in as much of the SegaSonic as I can…and yes, Fang the Sniper will also be here and even Eggman! For now, enjoy the story!
*Amy's POV*
Stupid echidna. What was he doing thinking he can just lie to me and hope everything will be peachy keen?! Does he take me for a fool!? We've been friends for so long…longer then I though and he goes and drop this bombshell on me! If I was evil or anything of that sort, I would have barbequed him with my magic or turn him into something unnatural, but no…I would never do that. We've been together for so long now…and after all that time…he lies to me! I hate him! All I did was crawl on my bed and cried on my pillow until it was wet from my tears. How long have I been doing this? A couple of days now, stopping only to eat and bathe and use the bathroom and such. Other then that, I stayed on my bed, clutching a Sonic doll. I have a couple, not as many as I used to as I gave them to other screaming girls obsessed with Sonic. I kept some of the rarer and nicer ones. I used to be such a giggling school girl for that blue hedgehog.
I would chase him all over the place until I can grab him by the arms in which he would have to drag me and get a crowbar to pry me off. I have a couple of other dolls of my friends: Tails, Big, Shadow, The Chaotix….Knuckles. I wanted to take them down and rip them apart, but for some reason, I didn't have the heart. The Knuckles doll just stood there on the top shelf cabinet across from me, just staring back at me….I couldn't stop staring back at it…Memories ran pass me like the wind…memories I didn't think I would remember….
About 10 years ago….
"So…this is the Palace of Angel Island?" Little 4 year Amy asked, "It doesn't look that different then our own."
"I guess not, dear." Thorn commented.
"So…I'm going to meet the guy I'm going to marry." Amy smiled.
"Yes, dear." Thorn nodded.
"Is he cute?" She asked, her light green eyes glowing with hope.
"Honey, that's for you to decide." Thorn chuckled a bit, her son, Rob also joining along.
"Oh, knock it off, you guys!" Amy crossed her arms.
The airplane landed on the palace gates where they were greeted by the head leader of the Echidna Security Team.
"Ahh, Queen Thorn, welcome to Angel Island." Sheriff Holmes came in, complete with his heavy British accent, "I shall take you the King."
Holmes lead them in the gates and inside the palace where the family passed pictures of echidnas in elegant, often Chinese-style outfits. Often in castles and palaces, knight armors grace long hallways, instead are old Chinese armor of old, each holding a sword. The entire hallway was bright red with sparkling chandeliers atop the ceiling which had simple, yet crafty artwork of old Chinese's drawing, mostly of mountains and swirly clouds and dragons. Amy was quite fascinated, she has never seen anything like it before. At the end of the hallway was the main royal room where the throne lied. On the throne was King Locke who rose from his seat upon the arrival.
"Queen Thorn." Locke smiled, "I shall get Guardian Prince Knuckles." he turn to Holmes.
"You're dismissed."
Holmes nodded, bowed, and left.
"Knuckles, come!" Locke shouted.
After a little while, a small red figure came. Knuckles, at the age of 8, in yet another elegant Chinese outfit came. Amy cleared her throat and fixed her little lavender dress.
"Why not let the kids alone so they can spend some time together?" Thorn asked Locke.
"Agreed." Locke smiled while nodding.
"Rob, watch the children while I talk with the King." Thorn ordered.
"I shall, mother." Rob also nodded.
The adults left and Rob stood a far distance from the kids to let them have some room.
"Your brother's big." Knuckles sighed, "Only a year older, yet he's taller then me."
"Well, if you eat well, you'll be tall too." Amy giggled, "So, you're the Guardian Prince of Angel Island?"
"Yes." Knuckles answered.
"Your palace is remarkable." Amy complimented, "Your culture is very rich and beautiful."
"What culture are you?" Knuckles asked.
"I'm not so sure." Amy shook her head, "My life is a riddle waiting to be solved."
"How so?" Knuckles asked, his curious mind growing.
"I'm not so sure…I was blessed with magic I never knew I had." Amy answered, "My mother seems to be aware of it."
"Magic?" Knuckles asked, "What kind?"
"…My mother said they are witch magic of blinding darkness." Amy answered, "But she said I am too purehearted to do any evil with my magic."
"I see." Knuckles nodded.
"I have the ability to tap into the minds of people with but a touch ." Amy continued, "I can see their mind and their future. I also use tarot cards." Amy took out her small bag and pulled out cards, her Tarot cards.
"Fascinating." Knuckles gasped, "So, you carry dark, deep powers, yet you use it for good because you have a heart as deep as the purest light?"
"I suppose so." Amy said, "My powers are growing everyday…and I also sense magic flowing in your veins as well."
"Of course, my family comes from a long line of magicians." Knuckles started, "It is rare if anyone of my family was born without magic."
"What kind of magic do you practice?" Amy asked.
"The power of the chi." Knuckles smiled, "We don't use tarot cards, but rather…parchments." Knuckles digged through his pocket and took out an ofuda, complete with Chinese inscriptions.
"What does it say?" Amy asked.
"It translate to "fire." Knuckles smiled, "So therefore, it will cast fire on my command."
"Wow, interesting." Amy gasped.
"I can sense a lot of good chi in you, Amira." Knuckles smiled.
"Please, call me Amy, Guardian." Amy smiled, slightly blushing.
"Please, call me Knuckles." Knuckles smiled, "…Amira…Amy…both names are gorgeous. Your mother chose such a lovely name."
"Oh…thank you, Guard-er…Knuckles." Amy blushed some more, "You are very kind."
"Hey, I heard it was your birthday a week ago." Knuckle smiled.
"Yes." Amy nodded, "Why bring it up?"
"Well, I should give you a present." Knuckles smiled, "And I know just what to give you, come."
Knuckles took Amy's hand and lead her our of the palace, Rob closely following behind.
The palace was a lot bigger then one would think. Knuckles explain the histories behind the palace and any paintings or pictures of his ancestors which he told with great optimism. Amy listen with fascination, Rob closely listening as well. After about an hour (it would have been shorter if Knuckles wasn't so absorbed in his history…not that Amy minded…), they reached a place Amy though was a dream…a Chinese garden, complete with mini waterfalls, mystical trees, small ponds, and even a small lake, complete with it's own river. Flowers were blooming a plenty, especially that this time of the year.
"Why…Knuckles…this place…it's…it's…"Amy was breathless, "This is an Eden!"
"And it's yours." Knuckles smiled, "I got my servants to make it extra pretty for you."
"Really?" Amy asked.
"Once we marry, you can visit this everyday, so I am giving it to you." Knuckles smiled, "Do you not like it?"
"No, I love it." Amy gasped, "I would like some roses though."
"Roses?" Knuckles asked.
"They're…they're my favorite flowers." Amy smiled, "What's yours?"
"Lotus Blossom." Knuckles smiled, "They grow well in the water."
The two stared at the Garden for a long time, like in a trance. Rob couldn't help but smile at the two. At least he knew that Knuckles is a worthy gentlemen.
Knuckles slowly looked at Amy and sighed, blushing a bit. He slowly extended his hand…until he held Amy's. Amy notice it and saw the nervous look on Knuckles. She gave a smile and held Knuckles' hand tighter.
"….Can you feel the bond?"
"…..Huh…?"
"I can feel…a lot of power…a lot of love…coming from the both of us…"
"Oh."
"Destiny works in mysterious ways, Knuckles…."
"I know…"
"I like you a lot, Knuckles….I haven't met you since I was born….I barely know you….yet, it feels as though we've been together for a long time."
"Somehow, we are…"
"It's like we met….in a previous life…."
"Perhaps we did."
"I guess….I really like you, Knuckles…I'm honored to be your…future wife…"
"….."
"…I love you…."
"Knuckles…don't say that yet…we're too young for that….just say…like….until we're older to know more about love."
"Okay…but I was being honest when I said that."
The two continued their gaze.
"I love you…"
That repeated in my head so many times….he said he loved me…does he still love me now? Well, he is trying to get me to forgive him. All the presents he spent on for me…gift baskets, dolls, roses…all in the trash can because of my hatred…would he keep sending it to me? He certainly had the money too, he could buy me limitless items until the day we both die. Why can he just give up already!? Can't he see it's pointless now? Can't he see that I don't want to be with him!? I just wanna be left alone…all alone…
KNOCK! KNOCK!
I groaned and didn't wish to answer, but I did anyway. I don't know why…but I when I opened the door, I was hoping it would be Knuckles….but instead, it was Sonic.
"Amy!" Sonic smiled, "I came to see if you're okay."
"I'm…fine." I lowed my head.
"Amy….you've been here for so long." Sonic said, "I came here to take you out and have some fun, I want yo see you smile again."
"Just…you and me?" I asked.
"Nope, the others are downstairs." Sonic pointed down, "Come on…let's go have some fun."
I thought for a while.
"Amy, we worry." Sonic smiled, "Please."
I couldn't help feeling sorry for Sonic. There he is, smiling and nervous at the same time, hoping I would go out and have the time of my life. I sighed…and manage to crack a little smile…
"Let's go." I smiled.
Sonic smiled back…
Downstairs, I saw Tails, Big, Shadow, Bark and Bean, and even Rouge!
"Hey…you feeling okay?" Big asked as he lead me a hand out the door. His friend, Froggy sat on his shoulders as always. A lot of changed over the course of two years. Big always remained nice and reliable. His only change was his green hat complete with a fish on it with a matching vest and boots.
"We're going to the café to get some sundaes!" Tails smiled.
"That's okay, right?" Bark's booming voice came in.
"I could kill for a banana split!" Bean slurped his tongue and played with his bandana.
"I guess that's okay." I smiled.
"Well then, let's go!" Rouge smiled, "Come on, I ain't got all day, let's move it!"
I smiled a bit and we all went. I fixed my dress…it was lavender dress, the skirt puffing out like my old red one, almost the same except the different colors and the spaghetti straps attached with my dress. I sighed once again and went with my friends, almost completely forgetting about Knuckles…
