It was a long month. Ok. No Judgy.

So now see, this took too long to plot. It came out the way I wanted it too, but it was hard to put it all together. Thank God I got that over with.

Chapter 7: New

The rain continued outside, stormy and windy, thundery, but inside a doctor checked a pink hedgehog's heartbeat. Sonic, his mother and Tails waited for anything the doctor had to say. They stood next to the other side of the bed. The Duck moved his small tool around her chest and listened carefully. Meanwhile, Sonic stared down at the girl eyeing her with his frown.

Something about this girl caused him to think. She looked familiar, but he couldn't quite but his finger to it. Her hair was soaked and still drying and her face was heated up. Tails smirked at Sonic who only stared at her.

"She's hot, huh?" he whispered.

Sonic's eyes widened and he turned to his buddy. His mouth opened wide and a shock expression showed the way he might reply to him now.

The Duck got up from the bend he was in and looked at the king firmly. "Well," he began taking the stethoscope off her chest and off his ears to go around his neck. "The girl's fine. She has a high fever but it's nothing major." He stated.

The queen let go the air she was holding. The king looked at the girl who slept peacefully. "Alright. Thank you Doctor Quack." Sonic said nodded his head down once.

The duck bowed down and walked away out the door and soon was gone.

"Wonder where she's from." Tails asked himself. Sonic angrily turned around crossing his arms. "I don't know but I don't have a good feeling about her presence," Sonic told him.

Tails frowned at him. "You can't be serious." Tails said in disbelief.

"Oh Sonic but she's only so young. Might as well give her a chance," The queen suggested.

Sonic turned his head to his mother still keeping his frown. He uncrossed his arms.

"Bring her to me when she wakes up. I'll be ready to take in answers." He ordered with a huff and walked out the room. The queen shook her head and Tails only crossed his arms staring at where he once stood.

The girl moaned and winced.

Night turned into day, and those days turned into a week and eventually weeks turned into a mouth. Still the girl never woke up. She had been asleep for all this time and everyone began to wonder if she was dead. She wouldn't wake up. Though, the girl would groan and moan at times so she was still alive but in some sort of coma they guessed. Tails had come back after two weeks of being at his home land. He wanted to check if the girl had woken up but she hadn't.

Tails eyed her. He watched her as she slept on the bed of the Healing room. The fox quietly watched her breath calmly and make small noises. Then it happened.

The girl moved her head to the side and then to the other side. Tails jumped up from the chair and placed his hands on the bed. The girl's eyes fluttered opened and she saw a blur of vision. Once her vision cleared she turned her head slowly to the side.

She saw a fox smiling down at her. She blinked twice out of confusion.

"Good morning Miss," Tails cheerfully greeted her. The girl innocently looked back at him without responding. "How do you feel after a full mouth of being asleep?"

She took off the cloth that was in her forehead and stood up from her laying position. "Where am I?" she asked in a low tone.

Tails nervously smiled and sweat a drop. "Ok let's answer your question first. You're in a safe palace" he told her.

She looked around the room. The place was small. There were other beds around the place that were empty. The room was practically empty. Only a metal desk in the far corner stood and the beds. There were small lamps hanging from the ceiling and that was it.

"I made it," she whispered to herself.

Tails raised his eyebrow. He didn't hear what she said but grabbed her arm. "Come, The king wants to meet you." Tails informed her. The girl allowed him to help her out of bed and take her by the hand out the healing room and down the halls.

.:XxX:.

Sonic and his mother were in the thrones. They had just denied another messenger with a message of marriage. He was sick and tired of all these messengers and arranged marriages.

"How could you let opportunities like this just escape your hands?" The queen questioned her son. Sonic only smirked. "You know if it made sense I'd say that 'opportunities like these come once in a life time', but in this case…it wouldn't make sense, cause….they just keep coming," Sonic snickered.

The queen frowned. "You say that now but one day the request will stop coming and you'll regret it." She warned him.

"I think it'll be a relief," Sonic spoke.

"Sonic! I will not allow it!" She yelled. Sonic laughed out hysterically.

Tails led the girl into the throne room. She looked around the walls made out of gold and silver. She narrowed her eyes as to wonder about something. Sonic and Aleena turned their heads and saw Tails walking to him with the girl trailing behind. Sonic narrowed his eyes and he stood up from the golden chair.

The councils and guards all stared down at the girl and Tails. The maids saw this new girl suddenly had awakened and Tails dragging her along. They peeked through the door ways to see, curious of the girl's sudden appearance and Sonic's last words to this.

The pink hedgehog wore a light tan robe around her body. She had a white hairband and white gloves with yellow rings around her wrist. Her hair was down. She was barefoot and almost naked to this point. She had nothing of clothes, but the robe that barely covered her body.

Tails stopped in front of the stairs below the thrones. "Here," Tails let go of her hand and walked to the side. She stood there not knowing what to do.

"So, you're finally awake," Sonic began.

She looked into his eyes and nodded very slowly.

"Who are you," He asked.

The girl held her two hands together in fear of saying something that would anger him or make a mistake. "I'm not really sure," She said

Everyone began to gasp and mutter words to one another's ears.

Sonic turned to his mom who looked shocked then at Tails who shrugged. He returned his gaze to her.

"Do you have a name?" He asked concern.

She nodded instantly. "It's E-Emi, Sir," she said respectfully.

Sonic's eyes widened. His firm look turned tender and he asked hopefully, "Amy?"

She shook her head from side to side. "No, it's with an E….sir," She quietly said at the end.

His tenderness hardened again with a tint of sadness. His mother meanwhile studied the girl. She looked awfully familiar, but by the looks of how she was she couldn't have been who she thought she was.

"Oh," Sonic said. "Where do you come from?" he asked calmly.

"The land of the Shadows. You see, I was wondering-" Before she could even finish her sentence, Sonic had sped in front of her with a sword put underneath her chin and pointing at her neck. The whole room gasped at how fast the move was. The queen covered her mouth and Tails clenched his teeth and hands. Emi screeched a high pitch squeal and swallowed down a lump.

"And you dare enter my kingdom!" Sonic growled.

Emi shook her head vibrantly. "Y-Y-you don't understand-"she began but was interrupted again.

"No I do. You're here to spy on us, but it's not going to happen." He snarled pointing the pointy tip closer to her neck.

"No no, please Sir, let me explain!" she begged.

"Explain what?" He snarled leaning the sword closer.

"I'm not one of them! I was their prisoners but I escaped! I only came looking for help!" she cried.

Sonic glared at her but he slowly loosened his brow's grip and lowered his sword, slowly taking all she said in.

"I came her looking for a Job and a place to stay. I've lost my memory and I know nothing of my past. I was told that…here was a perfect place to safe for a nice king lives here." She explained pouring her words out.

Sonic firmly glared at her and he stood up straight sliding his sword back in is holder pocket. He eyed her hoping he'd see truth him her. Should he give her a chance? She looked desperate. He closed his eyes and let go of his sword's hand holder.

"Alright," he softly began. "You can stay. I'll give you a job and you can live in the guest's room." He said.

Emi's worried look disappeared and she smiled out of joy. She clapped her hands together. "T-thank you so much! I can't even began to say how happy-"

"But that doesn't mean I suddenly just trust you. You're from the Shadow lands and that doesn't change anything." He said. Emi frowned.

"You'll work as a maid and stay as a maid. If you cause any problems or troubles," He approached her face and met her eye to eye. "You'll never see the light of day again," he coldly finished.

Emi shivered when his breath brushed down her face. He moved away and turned back to head to the throne. "Take her away. You start work today." He ordered.

A few maids came out from the doorway and walked to Emi who stood there in complete shock. "Come on Miss Emi," One of the girls whispered. Emi nodded and the maids pulled her from her spot. She looked up at Sonic. He was staring at her with his cold eyes. She turned away and was dragged into the halls.

"You're letting her live here?" Tails asked in shock.

"Only for a while. I don't trust her but it doesn't hurt to test her." He said.

The queen looked at him. "Sonic, please she is only a child. She means no harm. I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet," She told him. Sonic narrowed his brows even more. "I wouldn't be so sure 'bout that." He said to himself.

Doesn't Sonic seem harsh for a sweet guy.

Anyway i hoped you all liked it and I hope it didn't sound...bad.
