Ariana P.O.V.

"This plan is gonna be worth like gold!" I cheered excitedly."Hey! I know where Amy is! Can you guys here me?!" I asked desperately."Where is Princess Amy?!" They replied."She's in the dungeon. The king locked her up in there! Come back to the castle, and hurry.

I think he's gonna cut her open or something!" I made it up. They actually believed my lie, and I ran all the way down the long stairs with some red paint.

I had a big bucket of it, and I was running fast, but then trying not to spill the paint at the same time. I hit the code for the dungeon door, and threw the red paint out of the bucket, and it all splattered on the floor.

I tossed it away from me, and ran to my pot to contact Amy again. Yeah, she's on a date with Sonic and I shouldn't be bothering her really much, but this is for her and Sonic to live for years and years.

"Amy! Turn your guider off. That's what's making the servants have contact to find you." I talked quickly."But that's the thing! I need to know where I'm going." Amy panicked."You can do that by the necklace, and if you have questions like "how?" Then I'll tell you right now, they can't find you through that because it didn't come from the kingdom.

Sonic gave it to you from 20 years ago, trust me, they will not find you. If somehow they do, then I have tons of plans I can use to keep you safe." I hope she's feeling the same emotions I am, because I feel like she can't even swallow her spit.

"Okay. I trust you." She managed to say."Why wouldn't you?" I asked her. "Do you really want me to answer that?" I could tell Amy was probably cocking her eyebrow up right now.

"No. Talk to you later.

"Okay. Bye." I cut the message off again, and I started to hear the kings voice again. I hid in the cabinet where the kitchen was, since it was right by the dungeon so the servants could give the prisoner something to eat, but when they do something very intense, the king would order them to give them nothing.

They would just have to rot and die without any food. He was very upset and irritated. He was talking to himself, and I peeked out to see what he was doing. All of a sudden, he glanced at the dungeon, and saw Amy's "blood" all over the floor.

"AMY! AMY!" He screamed in horror. I got in contact with one of the servants, I put it close to the door."YOU STUPID GIRL! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO ACT LIKE THIS?!" They heard him cry. A little smirk was planted on my face.

If somebody wasn't going to teach him a lesson that he can't control his daughters own life, then one girl named Ariana will teach him. He deserved it anyway. All Amy has wanted was to be with Sonic, and he wants to do the same thing.

And her father is not going to take the away from them. Heck, he already took everything else away from her. Her mother, her memory, her friends, Sonic, everything. And if I hadn't done this, he was gonna take her life away too...

Sonic P.O.V.

"So now we're using the necklace to find our way to the Beautiful Meadow?" Knuckles asked for the 100th time."For the last time Knuckles... YES! And it's Beautiful Willow. Not meadow." I yelled in his face, since he didn't get the fact 99 times ago.

"You don't have to yell in my face adventure boy! Sometimes you have your stupid moments too!" Knuckles yelled back in my face."OH YEAH?! WHAT MOMENT?!" I yelled again."THE MOMENT THAT YOU WONT TELL YOUR FEELINGS TO A-" I slapped my hand on to his mouth while he was still talking through it.

Amy turned around and suddenly started laughing. My back was starting to get chills, and next, I just wanted to strangle Knuckles until he stopped breathing."Dude." I pushed him away from me."You started it by yelling at me, and now you want me to be quiet?!

I don't play that game hedgehog. Get your mind straight." Knuckles pointed to his head."Back at ya! You were doing the same thing!" I pushed him again."CAN YOU GUYS QUIT! Both of you need to be quiet!" Tails exclaimed.

I glanced over at Knuckles and rolled my eyes. Knuckles crossed his arms and looked away.

As we kept on walking, my legs were seriously starting to burn. It was way to early in the morning to still be trying to go to the Beautiful Willow.

When Amy and I were kids, it never took us this long to get there! Since I was carrying Amy while I was running. Now, we have everybody with us, and not everyone of us can catch up like the rest.

I would be in front of everyone, and I have to keep an eye out on Amy (because I would never want anything bad to happen to her.) Tails, Rouge, and Cream can fly, Knuckles has sharp points on his gloves, Blaze is made out of fire, Silver can fly and throw things around without touching it. I don't get what the problem is here!

They just want to be lazy these past few weeks and walk the whole way. We would've been there by now! As I kept complaining in my mind, there was only one thing that could replace my thoughts.

And that was Amy. Just something about her face makes it glow with beauty or something, but when she looks in the mirror she's probably thinking she looks terrible. I guess we see her in a different way.

Because that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life."Can we just start running now? We would go a lot faster that way." Silver complained."Exactly. Let's play a game to see who can get to that tree all the way to the back first!" I pointed to to the farthest tree from us.

Everybody glared at me with their arms crossed."What?! That doesn't sound fun?! I asked.

"It sounds fun, it's just not fair! Dude! You know you can beat all of us at that game!" Tails exclaimed."Yeah Sonic. Your cocky when it comes to these running games." Amy said.

"Don't worry. I'll slow down for you." I winked at her. "Even when you don't try, you still win." Amy mentioned."Well, I'll give you guys a 30 second head start, and then I'll follow after you."

I mentioned."Your still gonna beat us. You can give us 3 minutes and you'll still catch up."

Knuckles pouted."Okay, fine. I'll make up another game." I rolled my eyes and kept on thinking."Why don't we play the shut up game. Whoever can stay quiet for the longest wins. Plus, I'm tired of hearing everyone talk. Especially you Knuckie."

Rouge poked his arm with her long finger nails."Okay, and we're starting, NOW!" Amy closed her mouth, and tried not to laugh."Time out! Can we try to make each other laugh?" I looked over at Amy and smirked.

She cursed under her breath while blushing."Of course. Ready, go!" Tails stopped talking as everybody else did. I looked over at Amy and started making faces. She slapped me on my arm gently, and covered her mouth so nobody would notice she was about to blow out.

All of a sudden, she bursted out laughing when I started doing a little role play on my own.

I started to act like I was going to do something to her."Okay, I couldn't hold it in! Sonic messed me up." Amy exclaimed while laughing. Everybody shook their head at her in shame.

Amy suddenly got something from her guider that was turned off. She answered it, and put it to her mouth."Ariana. What's wrong now?" Amy asked quite annoyed. I looked over to see what she was up to."What?! I thought you had this all under control. Okay, we'll start doing that right away."

I shrugged my shoulders as if I was saying,"What's going on."

"The servants at my kingdom. They found a way to track us. Mainly, they're tracking for me and you. We have to quit the game and hide as good as possible, otherwise, I might not live much longer." Amy could only focus on what was on her wrist.

Narrator P.O.V.

She was having trouble swallowing and breathing. A little doubt started to rise in her heart as Ariana's voice of the story 3 days ago stuck into her mind. Thinking that she should tell Sonic, she thought it was best to keep it in, but it wasn't going to be a secret for long.

Sonic is going to find out sooner or later, and who's fault would that be if he didn't know? Amy's fault, but things are happening to fast for her to tell him at this moment."Time out guys. Now is the time that we should start running, even if Sonic is faster than all of us. Let's get to moving!" Blaze instructed, and was the first one to start running, then everyone else clicked in on Blaze's suggestion.

I think it is now time to say, that this is just the beginning...
