Chapter Eight
Everyone looked at Luke as he finished his story.
'No wonder you want to kill Brick so bad. He killed the one you love. If anyone did that to me then I would kill them' Amy said, breaking the silence.
'I don't want to kill Brick. I want to destroy Clivion. I want to pry him from Brick's body and destroy him in the most painful way possible' Luke replied.
'Look at the time' said Vanilla as she looked outside as the sun was going down.
'Sonic, Tails I hope you have a good night but you must be going now. Amy, do you want to stay tonight?' Vanilla asked.
'Sure Miss Vanilla, thank you' Amy replied cheerfully.
'Well have a good night Cream, Amy, Cheese, Miss Vanilla' Sonic said as he ran outside.
'Amy, Cream, Miss Vanilla, Cheese and Flare. Have a good night' Tails said as he left and ran after Sonic.
'I better go change the sheet on your bed Flare' Vanilla said as she got up.
'Don't worry about it Vanilla' Luke said as he stopped Vanilla. 'The robes we wear are special. Don't worry about the sheets I'll take them off but all I need to sleep is my robe.'
'Are you sure?' Vanilla asked, concerned that Luke would be uncomfortable.
'I'm positive so don't worry' Luke replied as his took off his robe and offered it to Vanilla. 'Give it a touch you will understand' Luke said.
Vanilla was confused at first, but the confusion disappeared when she touched it.
'Wow! Your robe is smoother and softer than silk' Vanilla exclaimed.
'Let me feel it!' said Amy as she grabbed the corner.
'Me too!' Cream said as she got up and grabbed a piece of the robe.
'Chao' Cheese exclaimed as he rolled around in the middle of the robe.
'Enough, enough. You'll rip it' Luke said as he pulled it from their grasp with Cheese still in it.
'You too!' Luke said cheerfully.
Cheese grumpily got out of the robe and flew to Cream.
'Why is it so soft?' Amy asked.
'All the clothes the Knights wear are handmade. The clothes I am wearing I made myself' Luke said proudly.
'I should get you to make my clothes!' Cream said.
'Same here' Amy said.
Vanilla just smiled.
Luke saw Vanilla's smile and looked away sadly then fake yawned but everyone believed it.
'Sorry, I'm a bit tired. I should head to bed now' Luke said.
'Okay, have a good sleep' Vanilla said politely.
'Thank you. All four of you have a good night' Luke said as he went to the stairs.
'Have a good night Flare' Cream said.
'Chao chao!' Cheese followed.
'Good night and thank you!' Amy finished.
Luke walked into the guest room and opened the window. When he opened it fully, he climbed out the window and onto the roof.
'What's that voice?' Amy asked as Cream and her headed to bed.
They had just past the guest room and heard a faint voice coming from it.
Cream slowly opened the door and saw the bed empty and the window open.
'Flare's gone!' Cream exclaimed.
Amy rushed to the window and looked around.
'No sign of him' Amy said.
'But what is that voice?' Cream asked again.
Amy turned her head and saw Luke lying on the roof, singing.
'He's on the roof, singing' Amy answered.
'Where?' Cream asked as she popped her head out the window to look.
Luke's voice was heavenly to the girls.
'There seems no way Flare could have hurt Sonic or Tails. He seems so innocent and carefree' Cream started.
'Not to mention a great voice!' Amy finished.
Luke stopped singing and Amy and Cream silently begged him to keep singing.
'You both do know that I can hear you?' Luke said.
Amy and Cream freaked out and ran out of the room.
Luke climbed down off the roof and into the bed, wrapping his robe around himself for warmth and immediately fell asleep.
Luke, Amy, Cream, Cheese and Vanilla all woke to the sound and sight of hail pelting the house.
'Don't worry about the hail' Luke said trying to calm everyone else down.
'It's summer, right? Then it must be cause by something supernatural and I think I know what it is' Luke said, calming everyone down.
'How do you know?' Vanilla and Amy asked in unison.
'Blizzard can generate a storm of hail and ice around her to scare threats off or weaken them. This means that she will be here soon' Luke explained.
'How soon so we can tell her to turn it off?' Amy asked.
Luke walked outside into the storm with objections from everyone but they saw the hail and ice weren't touching him but melting on contact.
Luke walked back into the house and said, 'In five minutes or so. We should get Sonic and Tails here'.
'But how will we get them here?' Amy asked.
'Since you asked, I'm going to take you so you show me where they are' Luke said.
'But you didn't answer me!' Amy said as her patience ran thin.
Luke picked up Amy around her waist and carried her outside while Amy struggled to free herself.
As Luke put Amy on the ground, Amy started to run back to the house but realized something was amiss. The hail and snow wasn't hitting either of them.
'What's happening?' Amy asked, confused.
'When you are in a certain distance of me then you won't get hit by the hail or snow' said Luke.
'Wow, how do you do this?' Amy asked.
'It is one of the things I can't tell you about' Luke answered.
'Oh. Okay then. See you later Cream! I'm going to get Sonic and Tails' Said Amy as she guided Luke to Sonic's house and then Tails' house quickly.
Both of them asked how did she get there and why they were needed.
And both times Luke answered them.
Within four minutes and thirty seconds, everyone was back at Cream's house.
'Here she comes' Luke said.
Everyone looked at the windows and jumped at the knock at door.
Luke opened the door and exchanged a few brief words with whoever was outside the door and hugged them, twirling them into the house as Luke lifted them up and surprising everyone.
The person was wearing the same robes as Luke except they were pure white.
The person let go of Luke and took off their hood to reveal that the person was a girl.
'Pleased to meet you all. I am Blizzard' she said in a cheerful, happy voice.
Blizzard had long, shiny brown hair, magenta eyes and had a smile that was calm and warming.
'Pleased to meet you Blizzard. I am Vanilla. This is Cream, Cheese, Amy, Sonic and Tails' Vanilla introduced everyone in the room and motioned to them as she said their names.
'Um… Can you stop the storm outside?' Amy asked.
'Oh, sorry about that' replied Blizzard.
Blizzard clicked her right thumb and middle finger together and the storm stopped immediately.
Everyone except Luke and, surprisingly, Tails looked at her in awe.
'Awesome, aren't I?' Blizzard said.
'Quite' Sonic replied as Amy shot a look at him.
