CHAPTER FIVE

AFTER CAPTURING ELISE

"Father!" seven year old Elise screamed she couldn't find her father anywhere in the upstairs room. So she ran down the stairs, taking each step slow, so she wouldn't have a broken neck or foot. And looked in the study saw no one there, ran to the dining room still nothing, to the kitchen nothing, ran to others rooms, and still nothing. Elise was about to panic where her father was and run out of the castle, to scream bloody murder.

Elise was panting, taking deeps breathes not to cry, her heart speeding up then a normal beep.

"Father?!" yelled in the empty room and she got down to her knees and prayed, to see if there god would tell her where her father was. She heard a noise down in the basement yelling, shouting, and screaming to tell everyone down there to 'run now!'. Elise got off of the ground and started running to the noise. She was panting hard, when she finally reached to her destination. She reached for the door knob, turned it and let the door open by itself. She saw, what looked like a flame or bright light, but she couldn't tell with it blinding her.

"Father?" She called out to the room, and no one answered. She turned around and about to give up, until a figure behind her, put their hands on Elise shoulders and it scared her so much she scream really loud, with all of her voice.

Elise woke up from her terrifying nightmare. She had that nightmare since her father died in a tragic accident, but she couldn't remember it all.

Elise pulled her self together, and sat up to look at her surroundings.

'Why is it so dark?' Elise thought.

She remembers the Sun Festival, then robots trapping her, then-

The Blue Tornado!

Elise gasped and widen her grayish blue eyes, she suddenly remember where she was now. She was in Eggman's ship!

Suddenly the door opened with a figure in the bright light. Elise cover her eyes for a bit until she got her vision back. She stared at Dr. Eggman wondering what he would do next.

He just bowed down and moved his arm and pointed outside the door. He threw his head back, to let her know that she is going to follow him. She stood up, brushed some of this dirt she had on her dress, I wonder how it got there, though Elise.

She walked and saw the ocean. It was so beautiful, Elise put a hand on the glass looking at the endless blue water and sky. She wished Sonic could get here soon, she didn't want to be here forever, with this cruel mad scientist.

She stared at the outside, until a figure suddenly appeared, it was coming in fast, dirt going everywhere, until a small hint of blue appeared, at that Elise smiled, she knew who it was.

"Sonic..."

Eggman, on the other hand, was looking at the Princess, he could see how much she wanted to get out of here, so he was so nice and let the Princess look out the window. Until he saw her smile, there was something wrong, she whispered something, that he couldn't hear. He walked up to the Princess and shoved her away to the ground and saw what she smiled at.

That stupid hedgehog was here to get the Princess! Eggman ran to the control room and started all machines and lifted them up back to the sky and started to moved with much force, to get away from Sonic.

Elise slowly sat up but her side hurt with Eggman shoving her away for looking out at the window. She felt the ship rising and started moving with much force, she has felt before.

With much of the force she didn't feel one of her feathers, on her dress rip apart and it flew away into one of the air vents to the outside world. She got back up and still on her knees, she put both of her hands on the window and looked at Sonic and smiled knowing he will follow them and save her. She felt a spark in her heart, she didn't know what it meant, but she knew it was a good thing.

TO SONIC AND TAILS

Sonic and Tails were racing down the island, trying to get to Eggman's ship fast, before he spots them.

They found out were his ship was from the person in the police stations saying he saw a big purple, red, and black ship hovering yesterday at night to an island that's close to the city.

Everyone laughed at him, until Sonic and Tails asked, "which way did the ship go?" then all the people in the room stopped laughing and were looking at the guy, with disbelieve-meant that Sonic The Hedgehog and Tails were asking which way it went; he said it went north of here, just follow the river stream then you'll see an beach and just go straight to were the palm trees grow.

Sonic and Tails, thanks him and telling him what a great help him he was. And left without him getting to say, 'your welcome'.

Now they are after the ship, until it was to late the ship started to rise and it moved by the time they got there.

Sonic and Tails slow down, they knew that they were to late. And didn't have enough time to jump on the ship.

Sonic and Tails looked up in the sky and Sonic saw a feather, that looked like from Elise's dress. The feather landed where Sonic was standing. He bent down to pick it up, until it was in his hand, Sonic stared at it.

He got back to reality with his Tails voice.

"It looks like the Princess was moved to another location. Let's head back to the city!" Tails ran back to the city, while Sonic was still looking up in the sky, where Elise was and hoped he can get her in time, if Eggman moves to another location, it would be a piece of cake to get her out.

He didn't want Elise to suffer with Dr. Eggman, so he made a promise to himself, he will bring back Elise safe and sound and if she got hurt from Eggman or anyone else, they will regret ever hurting her.

"Wait where did that come from," Sonic mumbled. He shakes his head, he doesn't care if he said it already, he already made the promise.

Sonic clutched the feather in his hand, almost breaking it into two pieces and started following Tails and Eggman's ship.
