Chapter Five

A Split Second, but Also Forever

I opened my eyes as I slowly awoke. I snuggled deeper into Sir Sonic, wanting all of his body heat. How could he remain so hot, in a cell, in a basement, with no heat source? I was exceptionally cold.

"Good morning, Princess Amelia," Sir Sonic mumbled.

"Did I wake you? I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to."

"No, no, its fine."

I leaned a few inches away from Sir Sonic, looking at him. He was sitting up, leaning against the wall. He looked most uncomfortable.

"Did you stay like that all night?"

He looked over at me, with an eyebrow raised. "Yes."

My eyes widened. "Wh-why? Isn't that... Uncomfortable?"

"A little," he smiled, "but you fell asleep and I did not want to disturb you."

"But you were not comfortable..." I cuddled into him, again, sitting on his lap. I couldn't believe he sat like that all night just because he did not want to disturb me. That's so... Sweet, amazing. No one would have done that for me. I would usually be the one to end up sitting up all night.

"It was worth it," he smiled.

I smiled back, turning me face away as I bit my lip.

He wrapped his arms around my shoulders, holding me close to him. I clung to his hard muscular chest, resting my head on his shoulder. I smiled as I heard his heart beat.

"Your heart beat sounds amazing, Sir Sonic" I told him.

He looked down at me, giving his quirky smile. "I'm glad you like it, Princess Amelia."

I suddenly got a feeling that he knew something that I didn't. He lifted my chin; our noses almost touching. I could feel the warmth of his breath brushing the top of my lip. I felt dazed as I stared into his gorgeous emerald eyes.

At the same time, we came together, closing the space in between our lips.. Softly. Lovingly. We breathed our souls into each other in the kiss. This kiss; hard, but soft; fiery but cool; a split second but also forever. In that one kiss, I then knew what was behind that quirky smile, and it made everything else clear. He was the one.

I leaned away, dazed. "Wow," I whispered.

"That was..." he trailed off.

"Yeah," I agreed, biting my lip as I smiled.

"Not a peep," I heard a guard speak. I jumped off of Sir Sonic, standing at the other side of the cell.

My father, and the guard stood on the other side of the bars, staring in at Sir Sonic and I.

"Father," I greeted, nodding my head.

He nodded back, once. "Have you come to your senses yet, Amelia?"

I looked over at Sir Sonic, who sat quietly in the corner, on the wooden bench, then back over at my father. "I'm not leaving without Sir Sonic," I said, shaking my head.

"Why is that? What has this pitiful -"

"There is nothing pitiful about this man, I happen to love him."

My father turned to the guard. "Have Amelia escorted to her room. Do not let her out under any circumstances. As for this boy, take him to..." he trailed off, thinking.

I shot him a pleading look. He must know I would escape and help Sir Sonic, no matter what he did.

"Take him... oh, just set the boy free," he sighed as he walked away.

I smiled. My poorly thought out plan, which wasn't even finished, had worked.

I quickly ran over to Sir Sonic as the guards were unlocking the door. "Sir Sonic, come to my room as soon as you can. There's a secret entrance to it, ask Midna. Her room is the first door on the hallway to the right from my room. If you can't find her, ask one of the guards. If they ask why, say you need some tea or something of the sort." I spoke as fast and quiet as I could.

The guards took my arms, forcing me to leave Sir Sonic.

"Sorry," I mouthed to Sir Sonic just before I was out of sight.

"I can walk," I told the guards. They're hands had a firm grip on my arms, which was not very pleasant at all. They loosened their grip slightly, and I pulled my arms out of it completely. "Incase you have forgotten, I am the princess. I am not going to try to escape. That would be... stupid."

The guards looked at each other and shrugged, allowing me to walk without being touched.

-x-x-

I jumped up off my bed, walking towards my wall-long mirror as I heard a quiet knock. That should be Sir Sonic. I took part of my mirror off the wall, revealing my secret passage, which Sir Sonic was standing in.

"Sir Sonic," I breathed. "You're alright."

"Were you worried?" he smiled. Oh, how I loved that smile.

I threw my arms around him, giving him a big hug. "Just a little," I smiled. It was good to know he was safe.

"So, may I ask why I am here?"

"Well... I have a favor to ask of you. It might be... dangerous."

Sir Sonic's smile got bigger. "Danger is my middle name."
