Slave of Love – Chapter 2

Sonic's POV

The sun made her pink fur seam like it was made of silk. I watched how the wind blew her long pink hair to the side and I could smell the exotic scent of her hair.

She was gorgeous, yeah, but it wasn't the seductive type. It was more like…innocent beauty.

I stared into her eyes. They were jade-green and glistened whenever she turned her face a bit so that the sunlight could fall on it. I tried to read what was going on inside of her, what she was thinking.

The eyes are the window to the soul, right?

But hers were unreadable. It was like there was something blocking them so that they couldn't show her emotions. I turned my gaze back to the ground, saddened.

Amy's POV

I hated to be here, walking past those poor people who where locked away in cages as if they were pets. I stared at the ground as I couldn't stand it anymore to look into their sad eyes which were longing for the freedom that had been stolen from them.

My father led us to an area where only the best slaves were as he told me.

There were more people then anywhere else on this marketplace.

We came to a cage with an especially huge crowd surrounding it and made our way through it till we came to a stop in front of a solid cage. I looked through the bars and gasped at what I saw.

His eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he never had any
reason to be happy, as if his life was only happening so that
other people were entertained and didn't have to do their work.
He had scars all over his face, his arms, his chest...heck, his whole body
was covered in them.
He was sitting in a dark conor of his cage with dirt, sweat and dry blood
on his fur, staring at the ground.
I wanted so much to help him, but I knew that I couldn't change anything.

…or could I?

I looked to my father, who was talking to one of the slave sellers, then back at the hedgehog in the cage. He was still staring at the ground.

I cleared my throath slightly. His ears perked up and he lifted his gaze from the ground, now staring at me with cold eyes. I was taken aback at first and doubted for a second that this was the right decision, but then I noticed his glare soften to a look of sadness and desperation. "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here!" I mouthed to him and smiled as his eyes seemed to lighten up for a moment. I turned to my father who was still talking. "Father!" I shouted. He looked up at me in surprise. I'm usually very quiet and I almost never spoke in puplic.

"What about him?" I asked, pointing at the hedgehog in the cage. My father looked at me, then at him, then back at me and smiled. "Alright, we'll take him." he said and turned back to the seller, paying him. I beamed and looked back at the hedgehog. "Everything is gonna be alright. You'll see." I mouthed, winking at him. He merely smiled, mouthing a quiet "Thanks." towards me. I smiled back "No prob, uhm…-" I stopped, remembering that I didn't even know his name.

"Sonic." he said. "Your welcome, Sonic." I whispered as my father came towards us.

Me: So the mistery is solved...

Amy: ...me?

Sonic: *blushes*

Me: Yep, you should know by now that I'm a total sonamy fan *grins*

Amy: hehe^^;

Me: Well then, see ya^^
