Chapter 14: Village Deals

A small butterfly flew down to the warm waters of the river. It went as close to the water's surface. Next to it was the boat in which Sonic and Amy were sleeping in. The butterfly took a drink of the water and then flew back up to the sky and pass the boat Sonic and Amy were in. It went up to a trees and it touched a small leaf that was loose. That leaf from above in the trees fell off and spun in circles until it went down and reached Sonic's nose. Sonic felt something and his eyes immediately awoke. He saw the leaf hanging from the tip of his nose and blinked. He shook his head and the leaf fell off to Amy's face, waking her up too.

Sonic yawned and slowly got up, but saw he couldn't. Amy was on his shoulder. Amy yawned too and blinked her eyes rapidly multiple times. She then noticed her head was on Sonic's chest. Her eyes widened, quickly rushing upward and gasping.

"Ohmigod…" She paused for a bit seeing the position he was in. "Did I fall asleep like that?" she asked pointing her finger while wiggling it.

"Yea and you were very comfortable," Sonic teasingly announced.

Amy flushed a deep scarlet and pouted. Sonic chuckled and got up from the boat's floor and rose up in a sitting position. His laughter died down and he lifted his hand facing it backwards from Amy's forehead. Amy only stared at him quickly not moving a muscle. He touched her two cheeks and under her chin.

"Fevers out. That means you won't be giving me anymore trouble." He assuredly said with a smirk. Amy shook her head and pushed his hand away from her. "Look, thanks for um last nights-"

Sonic quickly interjected her sentence, "It never happened ok. Forget about it." He said firmly and straight forward. Amy was bewildered with his saying. He was so soft, so sweet and caring for her well-being, and now he just wanted to forget all he did for her last night?

"I just wanted to say thanks," She finished, with a tint of anger but it came out soft at the end.

Sonic paused himself and let out a tiring sigh.

Amy looked around the place and saw the same old trees only the place had not only pine trees now, but a bunch of honey locust trees and maple trees.

"Where are we?" She asked.

Sonic began looking around too. "I don't know," He said distantly.

Amy looked down at the water and saw they were still moving with the currents. She bit her lip. "We're still moving. Do you think we passed the village?" She asked Sonic.

"How the fuck do you think am I supposed to know?" he rudely replied.

"You don't have to get mean! I was only asking a question!" Amy yelled at him. Sonic glared at her, his brows furrowing and his lips twisting into a frown. "We've been moving. The whole night! Maybe we passed the village and it's all your fault!" he accused her while pointing.

"My fault!?" Amy exclaimed. "I was sick! I was weak, I didn't feel good last night!" she explained.

"And that's why I'm blaming you," he stated.

Amy narrowed her body and her fist clenched tightly pressing against each finder. "Why you," She reached down to the water and grabbed some bits of water in her hand and threw it at his face. "You make no sense whatsoever!" She roared.

Sonic received a tasted of H2O in his face and it surprised him so much he flinched back, covering his eyes.

"You son of a bitch!" he snarled under his breath. He wiped the water of his face and death glared her. Amy angrily stared back but then her vision went black and Sonic was gone.

…

The sound of roaring water filled her ears. It was a thin and faded sound at first. The river had ended and now was a waterfall. A waterfall with a 100 feet drop, and just below-

…

"Let's see if you like it!"

Amy felt the feeling of wetness all over her face. She gasped and quickly wiped her face. Furiously she looked up and glared at Sonic. Only his eyes were getting difficult to stare right back at. She only saw two pair of black holes which she couldn't find an ending too just like the rabbit hole from 'Alice and wonderland'. She shook her head coming out of that trance and looked down at the water.

"You don't like water? Well then don't go-"

"Shh, keep it low I want to hear something." She hushed him, without looking at him.

Sonic rose his brow and his glare harden. "Cut the shit and stop changing the subject." He angrily told him as he got up on his two feet on the boat. Amy didn't even dare to look back at him. Se quietly listened for any familiar sounds but she heard nothing.

"What are you listening for?" Sonic asked with his voice that lowered with calmness and concern.

Amy didn't hear him clearly for being too concentrated. She looked beyond the river only seeing skies that had no ending. She looked down at the flowing water that had quickened only by a little. She went on to touch the water with one or two fingers. She let her eyes drop to a close and let whatever comes enter her knowing mind.

…

"Oh Alex, this is fun. This adventure is so…romantic."

"Well, I'm glad you think so Clara,"

The Jaguar was about to lean to kiss his girlfriend armadillo's lips but she moved backwards and spoke fearfully, "No, Remember we can't kiss." She warned him. Alex the jaguar frowned and leaned back. "Curse this curse," He muttered. As they rode the river together in silence sudden there was a disturbance in the distance that broke off the weird moment.

"Do you hear that?" asked Clara.

Alex's head jerked up and stared off into the sky and trees in the forest. They were going faster and faster, water picking up its speed. A soft faded roaring sound up ahead and Clara went to go check.

"Yea I do. I think it's a…"

"WATERFALL!"

Looking ahead they saw they were going to head down to a deadly waterfall. Clara got up from the boat and raced to the edge. "Alex, Where are the two wooden sticks?" She asked.

"Oh those paddle sticks? I threw them over." He said as if it didn't matter.

"Alex!"

…

Amy's eyes opened wide and the first thing she saw was Sonic. He was waiting as for her to say something back to him. The next thing she knew, she ran for the two paddle sticks in the end of the boat and threw one to Sonic.

"Start paddling to shore," She ordered him. He raised an eyebrow and placed the tip of the stick down on the boat's floor.

"What in the world are you talking about?" He asked with no interest whatsoever.

"Do as I say if you don't want to die like the other 'legendary Mobians.'" She harshly stated with anger. Sonic glared at her but grumpily did what he was told. The two paddled all along to shore and got off the boat. When Amy got off, Sonic jumped and accidently pushed the boat backwards with his feet.

"Sonic," Amy complained as she saw her backpack and the sweaters drift away with the boat. "Our food," She went off after it and Sonic followed behind her. "Amy wait," he called out.

She ran as fast as she could try to reach the boat that had already gone into rapids. The boat got further and further away from them and soon Amy stopped at an end of a cliff. Sonic arrived at her side and then they both watched in fear as the boat, along with their supplies, went down a huge waterfall.

Sonic's jaw fell and he turned to Amy. "You saw this didn't you?"

Amy didn't look at him. She couldn't even speak. She stared down at the water where below was filled with fog and rocks. The boat disappeared and everything was gone. If it weren't for her visions, they would have gone through a horrible death. She was mostly all concerned about the backpack with the food in it and the most wonderful warm sweaters.

"I don't regret being rude for once." He added thoughtful, for once.

"Our stuff," She whispered helplessly. "Our things, the sweaters, there gone." She cried.

"Forget it. We won't need them." Sonic spoke suddenly, faced sideways and staring off somewhere else. Amy's face flushed a dark red, rage filling her. "Those were made and giving to us! How the hell we suppose to-" She turned to him finding his emerald eyes glaring back with annoyance. "Just leave it," He growled angrily. "But you're leaving it as if you and I don't need!" She spat.

Sonic roughly got her shoulders and turned her around making her face the same way he had been facing. There she saw what he had meant and why he was acting so calm about it.

"We won't need it anymore." he explained firmly.

Amy's jaw opened slightly. Sonic let go of her shoulders and she said, "You have a good eye."

A large village with a riverbank on the side and many houses, the place was crowded with unfamiliar creatures, every roof being a color of red, blue and white. A large grassy plain was across the river and it was growing corn field as well. Although, there was more grass then anything. A whole entire Airport and the corn field built half of it.

.:XxX:.

Climbing off the cliff and the mountain was tough, but it only took them a while for them to arrive to the village. A path formed up from the forest and down to where the village began. There were a few people working down near the river bank. Some were chopping woods; others were hammering hot metal in a workshop. The stores began even before they got to the village. Sonic and Amy walked in like outsiders unnoticed. As the arrived the entrance of the village, Amy manage to read the strange letters on a flag across two poles.

"Belle-ind-s…town!" She happily chirped up. "Belleinds town. We've made it!" Amy jumped up and down and turned to Sonic happily.

Sonic had a firm look as if it didn't interest him if they had made it or not. Sonic stared up at the flag and then turned to look at her. "Yea, but what exactly are we looking for?" He asked indifferently.

With hearing that, Amy's smile wiped off her face and she thought about it for a second, "A fortune teller. Probably a lady," She inquired. "Like it matters. Remember Bloom said she would be easy to find. We just have to be observant." She explained.

It was silent for a moment between them. Amy found it awkward and Sonic was getting impatient.

"Well, what are we still doing here? C'mon!" He swung his arm up, gesturing for her to follow him. As they walked under the entrance flag and into the village, they began seeing mobians living a normal life, Walking down the dirt path, buying goodies from the stores that were outside in small tents. Amy gasped seeing small little kids running around having fun. Sonic kept his straight face. It was beautiful.

Amy's eyes roam from store to store. Wondering what she'd find interesting in them. Finally, there was a store of full pure jewelry. She'd never seen those types of pearls and diamonds in such necklaces and earrings. There weren't a lot of people around the store but the place looked as if it should have. Amy took off out of Sonic's side, who was distracted staring at a magic man walking in a fire pit. Amy walked up to the store and began looking at all the rare jewelry.

There were rubies, Safaris mixed with small pieces of diamonds, pearls with black rocks, all too beautiful for Amy. As she browsed through the cute necklaces she came across a golden necklace. It was mixed with another silver necklace twisted around the gold one. There were a lot of shiny green emeralds and white pure diamonds on it. It sparkled brightly and she stared at it in awe.

"It's pretty is it," A voice awoke her from her daze and she looked up. A brown old dog was talking to her. He had a small straw hat and his eyes were pale gray. Amy closely looked at him. She thought there was something strange about his eyes. "I made it myself yesterday," He added, with his southern accent.

Amy slowly moved to the side and saw his face was still looking at the spot she was in. He was blind.

"Hello?" The dog asked in question.

"O-oh, y-yes. Sorry it's just…" She paused.

"You're looking for a particular jewel, my friend?" He asked.

"No, no. I'm just looking at this one. It's very rare from where I come from." She stated, sheepishly smiling.

"Ah, well in that case let me explain what this necklace is worth for. It helps from all misunderstanding and harm. Not to mention it's good with you girls in dresses. It's also very lucky in many ways, unexplainable. Let me tell you what. It's 20,000 for a regular costumer, but since you're the first to really question this rare beauty, I'll give it to you for only 200 Leekems." The dog offered.

Amy looked nervously disappointed. If only she had this world's money she'd so buy it but she didn't and so she couldn't.

"I-I'm s-sorry, but I don't have that kind of-"

An old lady walked next to Amy and extended her arm out handing out a bunch of small coins. The dog's eyes flopped up a little and reached out for the money. "Here you go, Freddy." Her voice was old but it seemed very warm and soft-hearted. The old lady grabbed the necklace and handed it to Amy.

"Pleasure to make business with you, my lady," His polity voice spoke.

Amy turned to the old chipmunk lady. She wore a cape and a hood and her white hair was tied up in a bump. She had a smile printed on her lips and Amy blinked at this stranger.

"Thank you so much, ma'am." Amy stuttered, unable to control her voice.

"It was no problem, deary. The pleasure was all mines." She sweetly said winking. Amy showed a smile and was about to say something when a harsh voice interrupted her. "Amy!"

Amy winced at him calling her name so harshly in front of a kind lady and many other mobians around her.

"Where the hell did you run too?" He asked loudly.

"Sonic," She said in complete shock. His hand gripped on to her arm tightly pulling her away from the lady and she nervously looked up at the her who stared in shock and what seemed disbelief along with other mobians.

"Don't get sidetrack. We need to find-uhh," His sight finally caught others on them and his voice lowered. "Uhh, Amy what did you do?"

"Uh, you mean, what did you do?" she corrected in a low voice.

Mobians began to crowed, and whispers passed one another. It made Amy feel uncomfortable and Sonic released his hand off of Amy. Amy moved closer to Sonic who stared around as if this didn't surprise him.

"If my eye sight fails me now," The lady finally said walking up to Sonic. "The Legendry Heroes are in Belleinds village." She announced. Everyone gasped in shock and Sonic clenched his teeth. "They know use Sonic," She said in a worry tone. Sonic said nothing but he protectively stood in front of Amy.

"I'm surprised," She was going to say something that sounded like 'you kids' but instead said, "You two have made it this far."

Sonic didn't say anything but then another voice spoke for him. "And, glad you made it here safely."

They all turned to find Linda walking pass the crowd and up to them. "It's Queen Linda," Mobians began to, mutter and whisper.

"Queen!?" Sonic and Amy said in union, completely bewildered.

Linda smile nervously with a cheesy smile. "There is a lot that needs to be explained I see,"

"You bet there is! After all this time you've been lying to us! Yubala's not the queen. You are! And you're not doing anything in your power to fix this mess. Instead we have to do your dirty work! Why can't you go get that staff?!" Sonic spat, already angry for figuring out the truth.

Mobian's gasps got louder and even the old lady looked in shock at seeing Sonic speaking to the queen like that. Linda hesitated to reply so she only looked down in disappointment but quickly hide it with a fake smile. Amy's eyes narrowed and she pushed Sonic away from her.

"Sonic you are such a bigot! Why the heck are you blaming her for reasons unknown? She said she was going to do explanation!" she yelled at Sonic.

"She's the reason why were in this mess!" he accusingly pointed at Linda. Amy smacked his hand away from Linda and stepped up. "Noo," She began slowly. "It's that witch who calls herself Yubala's fault." Amy corrected him again.

"Look Amy, I wasn't talking to you in the first place so stay out of it!" Sonic said suddenly, turning his whole body towards her as he lid his eyes half-way and stared at her coldly.

"But you're talking to me now and I'm very much part of this," She defended with a harsh sharp voice.

"You shouldn't get involve with my business." He tried to explain again.

"What business exactly? I'm already involved. We're both involved." She exclaimed.

The expressions of the people were relief crossed with some kind of bewilderedness. No one spoke. Everyone stared at them as If they were watching a horror movie.

"Please, you two stop fighting." Linda was the first to speak and walked closer to them.

Sonic's head jerked to the side and his eyes were killer dark holes of emerald green. Even Linda felt afraid somehow. Something in his eyes were danger warning and she forcefully stepped back.

"Don't you dare get near us!" Sonic snarled. He stepped protectively in front of Amy.

"Sonic she's not going to kill us!"

"But she shouldn't be trusted anymore." He said turning to her, his teeth clenching.

"Sonic stop acting so exaggerated,"

"After what we've been through, it's not so exaggerated anymore."

"That's enough!" The old lady rose her hands up in the air speaking loudly and clearly. She moved to the side and then suddenly some men in small looking ponchos, swords and shields came stalking in to the circle they had created. Sonic and Amy looked around confusingly at the men who jogged to their sides and suddenly grabbed them by the arms, two men on each side.

"Hey! Let go of me!" Amy yelled, but the men wouldn't listen. As she struggled to break free, the necklace the once nice old lady bought her fell off her hand and to the ground.

"Get the Fuck away from me!" Sonic snarled which sounded as if he were going to attack the men any minute.

Linda could only look in horror and worry. She covered her mouth and turned to the old lady. The old chipmunk looked confident on what she was doing. She turned and walked away with the men caring Sonic and Amy after her. The mobians around muttered conversations and were left in complete shock.

.:XxX:.

The houses of the villages were made out of sand. Others were made of pure wood or bricks. Some were dull others were colorful. There was a large colorful shelter house. It looked like an ordinary house to Amy, windows with curtains, a nice wooden door, a cute satisfying roof. When the doors open Amy saw a big difference to it. Inside it was like a fortune tellers' base. Very dark but full with lamps and candle lights. There were a whole lot of rags around that were hanged up like curtains around the walls. In the middle of the room was a table. On the table there was a white big orb. A crystal ball that was as bright as the heaven's skies.

Sonic and Amy were thrown to the rug on the ground of the house. They landed with s short gasp and ended with a groan. The men quickly were dismissed outside and the door magically closed. Linda magically appeared next to the old lady like a time warper teleporting from place to place without a sweat.

Sonic got up from the floor and death glared at the Chipmink.

"So, your Sonic," She turned seeing Amy getting up with a soft glare of her own. "And your Amy," She took a good look at the two and saw how young they were and innocent. They were both glaring at her without a word. The lady shook her head.

"A bunch of amateurs," She barked making Amy's glare vanish and her flinch and Sonic grow with an unguarded fury. The lady turned her body around and walked over to Linda. "Yubala got amateurs for her plot of evil?"

"I know it's hard to believe but they've made it this far." Linda explained sounding like pleading. "There a bunch of kids Linda," The Chipmunk said in a terrible voice.

"Excuse me old lady, but we're young adults, teenagers." Sonic cut in correcting her in a matter-a-fact.. The lady turned finding him glaring at her, his eyes narrowed and a frown plastered on his lips.

"Rude, despicable, young children," The chipmunk added not letting go of her anger towards Linda. She walked back to Sonic and Amy and stopped right in Sonic's face. "When the gates of Polkka were formed, the word 'teenager' hadn't even been invented. In this society, you're an adult when you're eighteen. Before that, you're a child."

"Child!? Don't you see me lady!? I don't live by this society?" Sonic said in rage but Amy held him back. "Sonic temper please," She said to try to calm him down but he ignored her.

"You look no older than fourteen and act like a small eight years old." She insulted harshly.

"What-" Sonic was pushed to the side by Amy. She placed her hands on her hips saying, "Your telling us we're kids when your one fighting with." She pointed out. The Chipmunk's mouth shut and a nasty look took over.

Sonic pushed her to the side. "What did I tell you about getting in my business?" He shouted.

"I'm only stopping you from getting yourself into trouble. We're in a complete different universe. Not in school, where you can shit talk the teachers all you want." She pointed out. Sonic's eyes narrowed deeply until he couldn't narrow them any more.

Linda walked to the old lady's side and began softly. " I understand your nervous, maybe even scared, but these kids are different. They're not like the rest."

The chipmunk turned to her. She held a hopeless frown. "What so different about these?" She dared to ask herself.

"They aren't in love," The chipmunk's jaw slightly opened and her eyes widened as Linda continued. "Amy's sweet loving and understanding while Sonic's got the guts he needs to survive. They both may not get along at times but they've both got powers that help them get away from death. They're not as dumb as you think." She explained.

The old chipmunk looked down as to think as she rubbed her chin. She nervously couldn't process everything Linda had just told her. It was hard to believe they didn't get along yet, here they were saying they were mature enough to be the legendary heroes. She turned around finding Sonic holding Amy's wrists and wrestling her in a fist fight. He held her arms down so she wouldn't punch him.

"Release me!" She demanded.

"For what? So you can give me a black eye?"

"Yea," Amy replied with great confidence.

"Like you can even make one, you don't even punch hard." Amy twisted her hand and pulled it back making Sonic wince in pain.

The old chipmunk turned back to Linda. "It'll be hard, but I trust you. These kids need a place to stay in for the night. They both can sleep upstairs." She informed.

"Thank you Lady Rosie," She said kindly.

"If I were you I'd stop struggling," They turned back to face the two hedgehogs who were fighting. Amy was stuck under Sonic's arm and Sonic evilly had his arm latched around her neck, hurting her. "If I were you I'd close something personal of mine." She lifted her leg and hit the middle in between his two legs.

Linda and Lady Rosie both winced and shivered at Sonic's loud cry.

.:XxX:.

Linda opened the door to a room inside the fortune teller's house. Inside the room were two beds. Both of the same color and size, only this was a bump bed. There were no windows but the place was shining with light out from the lamp that sat on a table on the right side of the bed.

"I call dibs!" Amy yelled raising her right hand up and running to the latter on this wooden bed. Sonic ran after her yelling, "Nah uh I get top one,"

Amy was already beginning to climb the letter to get to the top but he grabbed her shirt and pulled her back. She fell off the latter and on the bottom of the bed. Sonic quickly climbed the bed and sat on the top bed when he reached it. Amy growled and turned to Linda.
"Oder him to move!" She yelled angrily. Linda frowned, "Now Amy, there's no point in fighting for a bed." She softly said.

Amy frowned and looked down sadly. Linda walked beside her and helped her up. "Besides, it's not time to sleep yet. It's barely the afternoon."

Amy's lip rose up into a defeated pout. Linda lifted her hand up and she placed something in it. Linda closed the palm of her hand and kept her hand on top of hers. "You should go exploring." She suggested. "Take a look around," With that she moved back and puffed into a dust of colorful sprinkles and magic. She was gone. Amy stared at where she once was and instantly looked down, opening her hand.

There, laid the shiny necklace that Rosie had bought her out in the market place a while ago. She remembered that she had dropped it when the men grabbed her.

"The necklace!" She exclaimed in relief that she had gotten it back. Sonic slid down the latter and jogged to her side peeking over her shoulder. "What she give you?" He asked interested.

Amy hid the necklace and she moved her body to the side as if in hiding something very precious, which he was. "Nothing that concerns you." She said angrily.

Sonic smirked and quickly grabbed her hands and took out the necklace. Even without his super speed, Sonic was pretty quick.

"No, give it-"she cried but Sonic interrupted her before she said anything else. "Relax I only want to help you put it on." He said going behind her and whipping the necklace around her neck. Sonic pulled her quills aside and began tiring it. Amy grabbed her quills and pulled it up holding it in a ponytail. Sonic finished tying it around her neck and smiled. "Not half bad. Let me see, turn around." He said. Amy automatically turned, letting her quills go and dangling on her shoulders. He smirked seeing how the necklace fit her so perfectly. It suited her well and even he hated to admit she looked astonishing in it.

"Sexy," He flirtatiously commented. Amy's eyes lid half way and she turned around to head t the door.

"Where you going?" He asked chuckling.

"Away from you," She walked out the room, leaving Sonic in the room chuckling. His laughter slowly died when she left and smirked. 'Amy was one cute girl' He thought to himself. Sonic's eyes widened in shock of even thinking that about her. 'You have a girlfriend' he reminded himself as he jogged after Amy out the door. 'Who's not here,'

Oooooooooo...Sonic ._.?
