Me: I'm so tired...

Sonic: What happened?

Me: Youth edication...

Sonic: oh...

Me: Anybody wants to do the disclaimer?

Amy: I'll do it. techno-cat doesn't own us. SEGA does. Oh, and Scourge over there belongs to Archie Comics.

Scourge: you know, Pinky...I could always quit and come over. Then we could work together. Wouldn't that be great, Ames?

Amy: Oh no, you don't! And quit calling me 'Ames'! That's Sonic's nickname for me.

Sonic: That's right. So, back off!

Me: Woah, woah, calm down everybody. I don't wanna be the one who has to tidy up the mess after your fight.

Sonic: Knuckles can do that.

Knuckles: Wha-?

Me: Alright, you can fight!

Everybody (except me and knuckles): YEAH^^

Knuckles: NOO!

Me: Whatever...

Slave of Love – Chapter 12

Sonic's POV

I didn't go back immediately after Amy had kicked me out. I just stayed there, sitting with my back against an old oak tree, the shadow of her balcony hiding me from the moonlight. I let out a quiet sigh as I stared at the ground. What now? My one true love hates me for something I wouldn't even dare to think about: cheating on her. I mean, well, okay, she did see me with Neris on top, but…I didn't mean to do anything with that cat. It was just an accident, right?

My gaze dropped to the ground. That wouldn't change anything. She hates me and never wants to see me again…ever. It's over…And I'll never get the chance to—

My thoughts were interrupted as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around only to see Neris looking at me with seemingly emotionless eyes.

"What do you want?" I asked, rather harshly. She cringed and withdrew her hand from me, looking away. "I'm sorry…" she mumbled. "Sorry? Why would you be sorry? You reached your goal. Congratulations, mission accomplished!" I told her, sarcasm and anger in my voice. Her eyes widened as her mouth opened slightly.

"Wh-what?"

Neris' POV

'WOOHOO! Another success for Neris the Cat a. k. a. me. Let's party all the night and don't stop till you get enough!'

That would be my normal reaction to a situation like this. But this time, somehow, I wasn't happy. I didn't know why, but the look in his eyes…I dunno…it just didn't suit him! They didn't gleam like they had when I first met him face-to-face, when he was still with…Amy. Now they were dull, almost…lifeless, like he was only the shell of a long dead person.

He didn't budge as I pulled him into a hug and whispered soothing words into his ear. He just cried silently as I tried to comfort me.

I felt guilt swelling up in me. I was the one responsible for his misery. He lost his lover because of me. It was my entire fault!

"C'mon Sonic, I'll take you home." I told him as I lead him away from the mansion, back to the huts where the slaves were living.

Amy's POV

I stared out of my window, watching Sonic and…that cat. Tails was right. He did cheat on me! I turned around and leaned against the wall, my eyes darting around in the dark room. And if it was all wrong? What if he really wasn't cheating on me?

I shook my head. I knew what I had seen, and that was Neris and Sonic, lying on the ground with her on top of him, kissing each other.

I shivered with disgust by the mere thought of them and what they were about to do if I hadn't interrupted them. They probably even did it before. And to think that I trusted him!

My vision got blurry as tears came cascading down my cheeks. How could I be so blind?

My hands flew up to my face, covering it, as I slid down the wall, ending up in a foetal pose on the ground, crying my broken heart out.

I don't know how long I had been sitting there, sobbing and crying and what not, as I noticed out of the corner of my eyes the door opening. I heard hurried foot steps approaching me and somebody sitting down beside my shaking form, wrapping their arms around me. I lifted my gaze from the ground, only to look into ice-blue eyes. They weren't cold, however. Instead, they were warm and caring.

I started crying heavier, as the arms around me tightened their embrace. "Shh…it's okay, Amelia. It's gonna be alright, I promise." Scourge whispered. I still remembered that he used to be a real jerk a few nights ago, but now, it's like they had switched personalities!

Scourge got all sweet and caring, while So-…you know who…became a real womanizer!

Argh, I can't stand him, he's such a jerk with that stupid grin, his annoying attitude and…

Those beautiful eyes, his soft fur, the sweet taste of his lip—STOP IT, AMY! YOU HATE HIM! YOU CAN'T THINK ABOUT THAT ASS IN THIS WAY!

I sighed, burying my face into Scourge's chest, sobbing louder than ever before.

Me: Hope you liked it^^ See ya!
