Sonic's Pov

I stared at the collar on the ground in shock. She was gone. She gave herself up for me. I was supposed to be doing that, I was supposed to sacrifice myself to save the world, to save her and her family. Now she was gone. Her mom burst into heart wrenching sobs beside me, I quickly walked over to her wrapping my arm around her shoulders.

"Hey. I'll get her back. I promise, if it's the last thing I do. I'll get her back." I said to her; she sniffed and wiped her eyes

"Thank you. I-I can't imagine her living in that torturous place. Please save her." She said her whole body trembling as I nodded and tried to comfort her. I knew it would next to impossible to get Anita back. Once you ate food or drink of the Fee then that was it, you belonged to them. If Anita hadn't taken my place then I would have no other way of getting out. But she did and I had to rescue her, but first I needed to find the guys. Luckily living with the fae gave me a clear path to exit the forest, but still something was off. I stopped as Anita's mother gave me a strange look when I heard a familiar off beat flapping. Turning to my left I could make out a small figure hovering in the air. Ralts. He flew up to me with a crooked smile.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to help me. I thought you'd hate me for leaving." I said as Ralts let out a high pitched laugh and replied.

" I'd leave as well, but I am a fae. Soo, I thought I'd do one good deed for a friend, but don't be expecting me to help out a lot!" He snickered as I shook my head at him, typical Ralts.

"I'll need all the help I can get, Ralts. Do you have any idea on how to get Midhir to release her or someway for me to get to her?" I asked as he frowned and scratched at his head then his chin, I continued walking with Anita's mom beside me.

"Well, there is no way. I mean she might be able to escape on her own, if she doesn't eat anything. But since she gave herself up for you and the lady then I think she'll easily give in." He said as I grimaced. That was what I was afraid of, I looked over to Anita's mom as she let out a sob knowing it would be a hopeless mission.

"Then I'm just going to have to get in some how and get her out. I have to rescue her." I said as Ralts lightly chuckled then smirked at me.

"Ah, that's why I like you, Spiky Blue. Pluck and Spunk! All the other Fae are useless whelps who would rather party and flirt with girls, but you! You like to live on the wild side, the side of the Unseelie court I haven't seen in millennia's. So…there is another way. But highly unethical. I mean to get the Seelie king's audience, is next to impossible to getting Anita out." He said using his nickname for me, I stopped and stared at him in surprise.

"The Seelie King? I thought you said you hated him and that you would gladly watch him spin on spit over a roaring fire?" I said with a light chuckle as he glared at me.

"I never said I liked the royal Fae and I would still like to see it done, but you're my, and I use this term loosely, my friend. And I want to do something to get Midhir mad, because when he gets mad-"

"-he really gets mad." I finished as I lightly rubbed my arm, I still had the scars they were just covered up by my fur.

"Alright then it seems like I'm going to the Seelie court, who is the king there?" I asked as Ralts snorted in frustration, Anita's mom stared at the moon tears streaking her face.

"The great Ard Ri Finavarra! The King of Summer and other frivolous balls and ball gowns. If they're known for something its their clothes; dew of the morn, cobwebs of the arachnid and the lightest gossamer known to Fae kind. If you ask me its all about appearance with them but if you're serious about rescuing this girseach then by all means you can count me in." He said pointing at himself with a mischievous smirk, I smiled and nodded then noticed we were at the forest's end. Then I saw two figures come running towards me, Tails and Shadow.

"Sonic! What are doing out here? How did you escape? Where's Anita?" Tails asked as he ran up to me, I bit my lower lip and shook my head.

"Anita took my place and her mom's. She might never escape if I don't go to the Seelie court and ask for the king's help." I said as Shadow's eyes narrowed underneath the moonlight.

" The Seelie King? How do you know that he won't keep you prisoner, like Midhir?" He asked crossing his arms, as I sighed knowing he might be right.

"I don't know, but I don't think he's like that. The Fae won't do anything if they don't get something out of it, so I might have to bargain with Finavarra. Either way I'm going, are you in or out?" I asked as Tails instantly stepped up, his hand rested on my arm.

"I'm in!" He said firmly as I looked at him then ruffled his hair as Shadow kept quiet the sighed in annoyance.

"I suppose I'll come along. You won't last two minutes without me." He said with a dark chuckle as I rolled my eyes, but happy to see that the last few months hadn't changed him. I turned to Anita's mom as she wrapped her arms around herself, I pulled away from Tails and walked over to her.

"I'll get your daughter back. I promise. No matter what the cost. I'll bring her back." I said as she nodded then headed towards the house in the distance, I looked at the others then to Ralts.

"Alright then. We're off to the Seelie court. Ralts, lead the way." I said as Tails and Shadow looked at each other confused. I laughed winked at Ralts as he flew above them sprinkling the enchanted 'dirt' as Anita would call it. They rubbed their eyes and looked at me.

"Alright you two! Stay close to Spiky Blue and you might just live through this. Understood?" Ralts ordered as I burst into laughter at their faces as the brown Fae flew in their faces…

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all the awesome reviews! Hope you liked this chapter, I just wish I didn't make Sonic so OCish. Anyway, you might have noticed two weird words, or rather they're Irish. Here's a help with what they mean…

Ard Ri- Means 'High King', pronounced Aar'd ree

Girseach- Means 'girl' , pronounced geer-shuck

Yeah, very weird words, but I picked them up from the book called 'The Light-Bearer's Daughter' it's the third book in the Faerie Chronicles series. I highly recommend the series, along with The Faerie Path, and Wildwood Dancing, I just love it! So thanks for reading and please keep the reviews up! Also if you have questions about the 'Fae' any general question, just leave it in your review! Thanks and ~ God Bless!~

PS- King Midhir and King Finavarra are real Faerie Kings ( not that faeries are real, although I wish they were..) look them up along with Oberon and Queen Tatiana!
