Chapter 7: Don't Stop Looking

Back At the Castle

It was a little normal day in the castle. Everybody was trying to wrap their heads around the fact that Scourge and Amy did not end up getting married the day they were planned. The king has been focusing on why he hasn't seen Amy for days.

Ariana was doing pretty good with keeping Amy in the safe spot. She always started making some lies saying that she was very far from the castle, and her father would always fall for it, but there was some vendetta that was in his mind that said,"Oh no sweetie. I'm not getting fooled today."

It all started when Ariana was making breakfast with the maids. She wanted to help them out lately. Now that Amy is gone for a few, she really has nothing else to do. Nobody in the castle has anything to do, as far as keeping the castle organizing, and following the kings orders.

That's all their life has ever been spent on, and they were getting sick of it, and when I'm saying sick, I don't mean tired of the king acting like a lunatic, I mean down to the stomach, vomiting sick. All of a sudden, they saw all of these nasty things in the kings territory.

It was so disgusting, one of the maids fell to the ground toe days ago, and had to go rest because their doctors said it was possible that the women went into shock. She wasn't even bleeding!

Ariana ran into the king's throne room, and got down on her two knees, and rested them before she started speaking."Ariana. What brings you here?" He chewed on his finger nails in quite disgust. Ariana hasn't liked the way he's been acting lately. Nobody has.

"Sir. Another one of your servants have fainted. She's getting checked by the doctor right now." Ariana took a breath before she decided she wanted to pass out."And that's suppose to catch my interest because..." The king looked down at Ariana, as she looked up like he was completely insane.

"Do you not know how horrible that is. It's not even sunny today, and two of your servants are probably in complete shock by how disgusting this castle is. Look, you need to get your castle together, otherwise we'll all need to be checked by a doctor." Ariana walked closer to his throne chair.

"Look Ariana. It's not my fault that this kingdom isn't in shape. In fact, why don't you just clean it up since it's that important to you. Plus, where is my daughter?" The king pushed Ariana back a little bit so he could go to the other side of the room.

Ariana was really starting to get ticked off. The fact that he's not realizing that this castle is starting to fall apart. That there is no one in here who wants to do this anymore. They all loved being around the king. He always let everybody know that they'll make it through the day.

The only reason why the kingdom was so fun was because of the queen. Everybody was devastated when she past away. In their minds, they were thinking,"Now we have to deal with this joker for the rest of our lives. Everybody, get ready to die."

That's when the castle was tearing down, but not like this. The only reason why the king formed pure hatred, was because Sonic came around, but that sure isn't Sonic's fault, everybody uttered.

Sonic is an amazing person to everyone. When situations leave you like a bus not even bothering to give another person a ride, Sonic is like your new ride to happiness. He brought a smile to everyone's face. He would never give up on you. Sonic will except for who you really are, and when he's in love with someone he will treat them like they are a queen.

Ariana thought to herself. She always thought to herself, that's why Amy loves him so much, and her father is to stupid to realize that. She finally stopped saying thing in her head, and let every true word out like a real confident women would do."The daughter that you want to kill if she ends up marrying Sonic? Is that who you're talking about. Because that really shows everyone that you care about her so much."

Ariana said sarcastically. The king looked over at her, and stood in front of her."My daughter is suppose to be in this castle because I don't want him to run this kingdom." The king grumbled."You don't have a choice. You can't control if she loves someone or not. You don't care about who your daughter is with, you don't want Sonic to be king because your not like him. If Sonic ran this kingdom one day, everybody would be happy."

Ariana explained back to the king."That is not true. He will not be a good influence to this castle, and I will not make everybody's lives miserable." The king said."Your the one who isn't a good influence. You make everybody's lives miserable. This castle was fun and loving to be around because the queen was around.

Ever since her terrible death, everybody has been in jeopardy of dying! We need another king. You can't run this kingdom for the rest of your life. Your daughter is a princess who is about to be the queen, she can't marry Scourge because of what happened, and when you leave we need another king to take your place! Now, do you have any other options for this castle to have a king?"

Ariana got into his face because she knew that she was right about everything."I don't know, but it cannot be Sonic! EVER!" The king yelled in her face."You are the most selfish, most rude, most dumb person I've ever talked to. There is nobody else! It's obvious that you don't really love your daughter.

You even told me you were going to threaten me and Amy if she went back to Sonic." Ariana told him."Is she with Sonic now?" The king turned around. Ariana cocked her eyebrows with a little bit of fear in her eyes."No." She hesitated to say."Is. She. With. Sonic?" The king got into her face now. Ariana backed herself up to where she could go to the door.

She ran out, and locked the door so he could get out of the throne room. Ariana sprinted so she could tell everybody to hide in a good place."Everyone! Hide in a really good place to where the king can't find you! No questions or responses back to me! Hide well now! If you don't, I will protect you! Hide now!" Ariana instructed.

All the servants, maids, and everybody else started running to a good hiding spot, while Ariana locked everything so the king couldn't find them. She ran back into her room, and got her pot."Amy! Please answer me! You have to or you could be in a possibility of dying." Ariana prayed to herself. She got a response back from Amy.

"Ariana? What's the matter?" Amy questioned."Your father is what's the matter. He kind of found out that you're not in the castle." Ariana was out of breath."Oh no! Now what am I suppose to do?!" She could hear Amy panicking as well."It's going to be okay. I'll get very body in the castle, plus your father. You get your friends and Sonic.

I'll tell you when they're close to you, and you will have to get away from him. They. Will. Kill. You if you give them the chance like that." Ariana broke it down to her."Don't worry. They won't get Sonic and I that easily." Amy said."Okay Amy. Stay safe. I'll save the kingdom before the king breaks out his throne room." Ariana told her.

"Okay. You stay safe too." Amy told her back. She cut their conversation off, and put her ear up to the door so she could hear what was going on outside. She wasn't hearing any thing so far. Which in this case is a really good sign.

"I don't even know if she should tell Sonic what's going on." Ariana mumbled to herself, and ran her hand across her head and her hair.

"DONT STOP LOOKING UNTIL YOU FIND HER!" Ariana put her ear back on the door, and listened to who's voice she just heard."Okay sir. We won't stop until we find her." One of the servants told the king."And I won't stop until you don't find her."

Ariana murmured with an evil smile on her face. She went over to her pot, and had a little planning going on in her room."Queen of this castle. Please let this plan work. Your daughter is in serious danger, and it is definitely not her time yet. Please work with me so Princess Amy will be safe, and she will leave happily ever after, with Sonic the Hedgehog."

Ariana talked to her through the part. She got a long message back from the queen, saying that that is Sonic and Amy's decision to be together, not her plan."But queen. There is nobody else to make this kingdom a better place. Sonic is the only one who can." Ariana replied back to her.

"Ariana. Nobody knows if they will end up together. She could burn that necklace for all we know. Your plan to keep her safe, I will not hold you back, but forcing them to be together is what I will hold you back on. You have to wait to see what happens." The queen finally spoke out loud."Yes Queen. I will obey your words."

Ariana bowed, and cut off the message. Ariana now started on her plan to keep Sonic and Amy safe. Also with the rest that are with them to burn the necklace. Ariana looked out her window, and saw that the maids were headed to search for Amy, and to bring her back to the kingdom."Oh. You better watch a certain direction before you just wonder off some where." Ariana mumbled again, and laughed.

Sonic and Amy have nothing to worry about at this very moment.
