Rouge sat in the cold dark dirty dungeon, her arms were pinned up against the wall.
" He was the Prince..." she spoke, her ears dropped " He must of reported all my crimes by now... I was so stupid!".
A small chirp emitted echoing, it was Gem, Rouge smiled at the Chao " Gem down here!"
Gem floated down to the Bat and landed on her knee " Gem darling can you get me out?"
Gem turned away and hopped off the knee, on the floor she shaped her head to resemble Shadow then pranced around all high and mighty. she shaped herself out and glared at the bat.
" Sorry friend" the Bat told her. The chao sighed and scrambled up to the lock she shaped her hand into a pick and started to dig at the lock.
" But don't worry, He's a Prince, and he gonna end up marrying a princess" Rouge spoke her ears drop down again, she was a bit sad of the idea.
The lock click and the bat's hands were free " maybe it's for the best".
" Giving up so soon my dear?" a old voice called scaring the chao. A elderly lady came out of the shadows.
" Who are you?" Rouge asked the lady. The lady was an Echidna, her dreads reached the floor and she hunched over.
" Just an old gal" the woman spoke " thrown into prison for the wrong reasons.. Just like you". Rouge stood up as her chao hid under the bat's white fur.
" Alone were nothing" the woman got a closer look " but together... Perhaps we can be more!"
" I'm all ears" Rouge told her, the bat's ears perked up. The Echidna smiled.
" I've heard of a cave... Cave of wonders, filled with treasure beyond your dreams" the Echidna dug into her dress pocket and pulled out a few rubies.
Rouge eyes lit up seeing the rubies, why 2 of those will buy her food for a year! the woman put the rubies back in her pocket.
" treasure that could make you... A princess if you know what mean?" she smirked " why with treasure like this.. You could... Marry a prince!"
Rouge thought about what the woman was tellinger. was it possible? No way!
Even if she had all the riches and lived like a princess she could never be a real one to Shadow.
" This treasure" Rouge asked " if it's so wonderful why are you telling me this?"
" Ah you see" the old woman poked at Rouge legs with her walking stick " I've wasted my youth looking for this cave, but it has been found, sadly i'm too old and fragile to enter so I need a young pair of legs and a strong back to go in for me"
" You're crazy" Rouge spoke " the cave is out there... Were in here how are we supose..."
the Echidna lady shook her finger and walked over to a wall " things are not what they seemed" she pushed against the wall revealing a secret passage " So my dear" she extended her hand to the bat " do we have a deal?".
