Sonic: ...*sigh*

Slave of Love – Chapter 4

Amys POV

I entered the mansion as a maid rushed to me. "Your father wants to see you, Mrs. de la Rose." I nodded at her and walked to his office. However, as I was about to enter it, I heard voices. "My daughter should be here any minute now and then we'll tell her about these wonderful news!" my fathers voice said. "It was always her dream to marry and I'm sure she'll be head over heels for your son." 'What?' I thought 'Marriage?'

I opened the door and stepped in. My father was sitting on one of the wooden chairs and next to him…was a black hedgehog. "Ah, Amelia! I wanted to introduce you to your soon to be father-in-law: Mr. the Hedgehog." I froze. 'Soon to be father-in-law? What the-? No way!'

"You're going to be the wife of his son. He's very skilled and humorous and best of all: He's very wealthy too." he told me. "B-but I don't want to!" I protested. "Amelia de la Rose! Your going o marry him, whether you like it or not!" he yelled. Tears came to my eyes and I shook my head. "No, I won't!" I yelled and ran away from them.

Sonic's POV

I was working on the fields as I heard fast foot steps approaching me. I turned towards the sound and saw Amelia running towards me with tears in her eyes. I let go of my scythe and took her into my arms. She was shaking with sobs as her tears dripped down on my chest. "What's wrong, Ames?" I asked gently as I stroked her quills. "Father w-wants th-that I m-marry the son of M-Mr. the Hed-Hedgehog, b-but I do-don't even kn-know him!" she told me.

I just stood there, holding her tight as if I let go, she would just vanish and never come back. "Please, take me with you, Sonic!" she said. "W-What-?" I asked, shocked. "I know that you're going to escape from here, and I want you to take me with you. I don't want to live like that anymore!" she told me. "But what about-?" – "That's a command!" she interrupted me. I smiled, shaking my head. She just smirked. "Alright…" I replied, giving in. She beamed and ran back to the mansion. As soon as she left, realization hit me, and I slapped my forehead.

'What have I done?'

Amys POV

I was paking my things in a small bag, only taking the most important ones with me, as a knocking sound made me jump. I turned around and looked into Sonic's emerald green eyes. "Sonikku?" I asked as I stepped onto the balcony. "Hey…" he mumured, entering my room. "You should be sleeping, tomorrow will be a long day-" he silenced me by putting his finger on my lips. "I know, but…I can't take you with me…" he said. "Why?" I asked. "Because, well-" this time, I interrupted him. "Sonic, I know, it's dangerous. But, like I said before, I don't want to live like that anymore. I don't want to marry someone I don't love let alone even know. Please, take me with you, Sonic." I pleaded him. He sighed. "Alright, but you have to stay by my side and if I tell you something, you have to listen to me, okay?" he replied. I nodded and beamed at him before I embraced him.

Me: Phew...

Rouge: So they're planning to escape...

Me: Yeah.

Rouge: Interesting...wonder what's gonna happen.

Me: You'll see^^
