Chapter Five: Life In Prison
Back at Scourge's castle, Amy was being carried by the guards towards the dungeon. Amy was screaming angrily and trying to break free from their grasp, but like earlier, the guards were too strong for Amy. They then placed her in the dungeon cell, and locked it.
"Hey! You can't keep me in here! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Amy yells angrily.
"Sorry, Princess. Just doing what Prince Scourge asks." one guard says, and then leaves the room. Scourge approaches the cell.
"I hope you'll enjoy your new home. Had this cell nice and prepped up for you." Scourge smiles evilly.
"What do you even want from me?! Why did you capture me?!" Amy snarled. Scourge chuckles evilly.
"Well, it's not just to break Sonic's heart, but it's to destroy his heart." Scourge started.
"What do you mean?! You're not going to kill him, are you?!" Amy pleaded.
"Hm, that really depends on your choice, Amelia." Scourge smiles evilly.
"What choice?" Amy asked in concern.
"I may be able to have Sonic's life spared, only if you agree to marry me. What do you say?" Scourge asked, as he looked directly in the cell. But Amy out of anger spat on Scourge's face.
"NEVER! You capture me, and now you think it's an easy way to have me marry you?! But not a chance, Scourge! I've declined your offer!" Amy snapped. Scourge just chuckles, and wipes Amy's saliva off his face.
"Playing hard to get, huh? I LIKE it! Shows your true strength. But as you wish. But if you really cared for Sonic's well-being, you'll make the right choice." Scourge warned, as he laughs evilly.
After that, Scourge leaves the dungeon and slams the door shut. Amy drops to the floor, and cries uncontrollably. Amy was crying there for two minutes, wondering what she should do.
"So, he got you as well, huh?" a voice called out. Amy gasped, and looked around.
"Who's there? Who are you?" Amy called out.
"Your cellmate, by the looks of things." the voice replied.
When the voice came out of the shadows and revealed themself, it was a female white bat, with teal green eyes, and black wings. She was wearing a black warrior dress, and black boots.
"Oh! Who are you?" Amy asked.
"My name is Rouge. Rouge, Queen of the Chaos Warriors." Rouge replied, and shook Amy's hand.
"Very pleased meeting you." Amy greeted.
"Say, aren't you Princess Amy? The one who was to marry that handsome blue Prince, Sonic?" Rouge asked in surprise.
"Why, yes I am." Amy replied.
"Well, this is a surprise! But what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to marry Sonic today?" Rouge asked. Amy's ears dropped.
"Well, I was marrying him. But Scourge invaded our castle, and kidnapped me. All because I was marring Sonic, and not him." Amy sadly replied.
"Ah. Past crush of his, were you?" Rouge asked.
"If you like to put it that way." Amy added.
"Well, he locked me up here, all because I tried stealing some of his jewellery!" Rouge snapped.
"Why would you want to do that?" Amy asked in shock.
"Because, he's been robbing me and my people of our hard-earned money, and food! Me, and my husband tried everything, but I was unlucky and the guards caught me. I've been trapped here for two months, and I still haven't been rescued, or been set free." Rouge sadly explained.
"I'm so sorry to hear that!" Amy said.
"No, it's alright! It's my fault anyway. I shouldn't have been so reckless. Now I may never see my husband again, and we'll never be rescued." she sadly said.
"No, Rouge! You mustn't think like that! We will get out of here! I'm sure of it! I'm sure my fiancée and your husband must have some plan to rescue us." Amy stated with confidence.
"What makes you so sure of that?" Rouge asked. Amy took a hold of Rouge's hands.
"Because my fiancée loves me. And he'll do anything within his power to help me. I'm sure your husband thinks the same way." Amy responded.
"But, what if my husband forgets about me? Or be mad at me, because of my own stupid mistakes that got me locked in here?" Rouge said, with tears flowing in her eyes.
"He won't. He'll know you did it for the right reasons. Besides, I wasn't perfect myself. I've made many stupid mistakes before. But once they say I did it within good reason, all's forgiven." Amy smiles, with tears flowing in her eyes. Rouge gasps in surprise.
"You're right. You're absolutely right." Rouge exclaims.

(Amy singing)
I was accused
There's a list a mile long
With all my sins
With everything that I've done wrong
I feel ashamed
I have nowhere left to hide
This is the day
I must answer for my life
.
My life was in the judge's hands
But then he turns to me and says
.
I know you
I love you
I'll give my life to save you
Love's paid the price for mercy
My verdict is not guilty
.
(Rouge singing)
How could it be?
I can not begin to understand
What kind of grace
Would take the place of all my sins?
.
I'll stand in awe
Now that we have been set free
And the tears welled up as I look at that cross
Because that should have been me
.
My fate was in the scarred nailed hands
But he stretched them out for me and said
.
I know you
I love you
I'll give my life to save you
Love's paid the price for mercy
My verdict is not guilty
.
(Amy and Rouge singing)
I'm falling on my knees to thank you
With all that I am I'll praise you
So grateful for the words that you've said
.
(Rouge singing)
I know you
(Amy singing)
I love you
(Amy and Rouge singing)
I'll give my life
.
I know you
I love you
I'll give my life all to save you
Love's paid the price for mercy
My verdict is not guilty
.
(Rouge singing)
Love's paid the price for mercy
(Amy singing)
My verdict is
(Amy and Rouge singing)
Not guilty
.
Rouge smiled warmly at Amy.
"Thank you, Amy. That has really boost my confidence." Rouge thanked.
"Anytime, Rouge." Amy smiled warmly.
"Well, at least while we're waiting for some kind of rescue mission of some kind happening, at least we'll keep one another company in the time being." Rouge giggles. And giggles as well.
"That's very true." Amy agreed.
