Ok…now…reeeaad…

Listen to: Little Wonders by Rob Thomas

A black hedgehog stood tall, shoulders set back, and his hands behind his back tightly clenched. A small smirk plastered on his face and his eyes half way closed. He had golden rings on his wrist like Emi had on hers. He looked at Sonic

"Good evening Sonic," He greeted him. Sonic was taken aback by his presence. He turned back to face Emi. "And my lovely Emi. How unexpected to see you again."

Emi's eyes narrowed but not out of anger but out of fear. "S-Shadow,"

…

Chapter 16: Back

Emi was still. Her throat tightened her body stiffed. She hadn't seen Shadow in weeks since she escaped and he was already on her trail. He was standing in front of her with a yellow crown with black with red gem on the sides. He had a long red cape that reached the floor. His black color was faded due to the light beams coming from the cube's laser. Shadow evilly smiled seeing all the faces in the room paralyzed with fear in seeing him.

Sonic was confused in every way possible, 'Lovely Emi,'. He didn't understand at first how Shadow knew Emi, but he had forgotten Emi came from those lands.

"Well, it's nice to see all of you, really." Shadow chuckled when no one said a thing. He whirled around taking a look around. He then spotted the queen. He lowered his eyes. "Aleena, it's been some time."

Everyone turned and found her standing by the doorway. Her eyes calm but rage holding inside them. Aleena stepped forward and glared at him. "Shadow, How unwanted for your presence." She replied, her voice a low hiss and her brows furrowed. Shadow huffed a low chuckle.

Out of all the room, Sonic and Aleena seemed to have had the more irritating looks. Blazing eyes looking cold as ice. The color in their eyes weren't even their bright color of emerald green and shinning blue anymore. Aleena lost her good husband and Sonic lost a great father. King Jules, the one who killed Shadow's father and Shadow who killed Sonic's dad. Emi could feel their rage within them.

"It's great to see you all in one piece…even till now,"

"What do you want?" Sally suddenly interrupted. Shadow's eyes flickered over to her. A grin appeared on his face. "Princess Sally, I only wish to speak with an old rival of mine." He said with fake innocence, his hand placed over his heart for respect.

"About what?" She snapped. "You are not welcome here nor are your men; entering Apotos giving messages around, there has to be an explanation to this, am I right?" Her hands bending down on her hips with a scowl look.

"If you please, Sally, let Sonic do all the talking." Shadow said with a tired, bored look. "You're a little too immature for my taste anyway." He muttered, looking to the side, his eyes half-lit.

Sally's cheeks flushed a deep red. "What did you say?" She growled. Sonic restrained her from attacking a hologram and pushed her behind him and walked up to the edge of the stairs. "Just spit it," He insisted his eyes narrowed, but he wasn't looking angry.

Shadow faced him, walking closer to the steps. "I have come to take back my claim," and then turned to face the maids. He spotted Emi hiding behind Rouge and Wave. She was shaking and peeking her head behind Wave's shoulders. Shadow bit his lip. "Something you have that I want back?" He finished turning back to Sonic.

Sonic's eyes squinted. "What are you talking about?" Sonic refrained from yelling at him, but it was growing harder and harder to do with the looks of slyness he carried.

Shadow turned back to Emi. She flinched and hid back behind Wave. "I believe what I'm talking about is behind those maids, hiding." He confirmed.

"Emi," Tails gasped in a low questioning tone.

Everyone turned to Emi who was reviled when the maids walked to the side leaving Emi stranded in the middle with no one to hide behind in. Shadow eyed her carefully up and down. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk," He said shaking his head side to side in disappointment. "My, my, Emi. Why must you keep running away from me? You do realize that maid dress doesn't suit you properly." He pointed out at her with a smug smile. He extended his arm out. In his hand there was a black rectangle figure. Nobody knew what it was, but Emi, who was feared. "Come along now, my dear. Let's get you out of that." There was a hint of flirtatiousness in his tone, shocking everyone in the room.

Emi whimpered and took a few steps back. Suddenly a blue streak of light passed in front of her and Sonic appeared throwing a protective hand in front of her. He was throwing murder sighs to him. "Yeah, not going to happen." Sonic said, feeling a rush of fierce protectiveness over Emi.

"Hm and why not?" Shadow asked.

"Because she's with us now," replied a soft voice behind Sonic. A small bunny was furiously looking at Shadow.

"Ah child," Shadow said shaking his head now smirking. Shadow walked up the stairs and reached the top where Tails and Sally where standing. "Defending one of my own? How interesting," His tone sounded assure of something and it made Emi feel pain in her chest. Something about him gave her scary memoires she didn't want to remember. It got her tense.

"She was never one of your own." Aleena then yelled. Everyone's eyes caught her coming up the stairs. Her expression: irritated. Aleena wasn't to please in seeing him and by the facts that she was always so happy gave Emi the thought that this wasn't going to be all too good of a talk. She reached the top and walked to the throne. "She was popularly stolen from another land and served as your personal slave."

Shadow laughed bitterly. "You know nothing, but then again you never know." Shadow shrugged hopelessly still smiling. His smile word off and a line printed over his lips. He turned his heel and walked back down the stairs his back to them all. "Alright, alright, you can keep the girl," He finally agreed waving a hand up in the air. Aleena smiled, but his next words cut their happiness down short. "For now. I'll be back for her and it won't be a pleasant return." He turned 90 degrees, evilly smirking at them all.

Sonic's anger look faded and them same sly smirk was returned to him, "I'm sure it won't be."

Shadow turned his head and once he was in front of the cube again said, "You still amaze me Sonic." Shadow turned his whole body to face him. "Though, you'll have to have an eagle's eye to keep me away from my lovely Rose." He said.

Sonic's eyes rounded and a disgusted look took place. "Your rose," He repeated quietly.

"Have a good night and Emi," His eyes were back on her and she gasped. Her stomach was filling with a heavy feeling and she suddenly felt sick to her stomach. "Don't miss me too much. I'll be back" He winked at her and then the cube glowed brightly. Shadow slowly faded and disappeared into the cube which absorbed the laser light. The cube's glowing stopped when the hologram disappeared and everything grew quiet. Everyone sighed, letting out the air they had been holding.

Julie-su was looking around the room. "Hey guys, where did that messenger go?" She asked. She was corrected, he had been behind the cube where shadow was, but somehow he escaped from their sights and was no longer there.

A beeping sound interrupted them all. The sound bounced on the walls on the throne room and everyone grew concern. Tails looked around. "Better question, Do you hear that?" he said, hearing her from below.

The sound got louder and louder and the Aleena backed away to Sally's side. "It sounds like a timing bomb." Sally worriedly said.

"Yeah, but where is it coming from?" Mina asked herself. "It's in here but where," Blaze was panicking and Rouge placed her hand on her shoulder. "I don't see it," Rouge said.

"The cube," Sonic answered.

Emi couldn't keep her eyes off the cube. She knew what it was and where it came from. She shook her head and backed away. She wanted to warn them about the cube, but she couldn't speak. The timer kept ticking in her head, ringing in her ears. She slowly felt time slowing down and being taking in by the familiar sound of a ticking bomb, but another voice interrupted the horrible song of the ticking and she saw Sonic mouthing words. A blur to her. He was then yelling at her, but she couldn't hear him. Sonic rushed backwards and pushed her away. "Get down!" He yelled.

The bomb went off and it exploded.

.:XxX:.

Cream ran down the hallways with Sally. Cream ran ahead holding a small aid kit in her hands. Sally carried a vase with water. Panting was the only thing that was heard in the empty halls of the castle. Cream stopped in front of two doors. A letter 'S' in gold at the top of the golden doors. Sally grabbed the knob and entered while Cream looked down both ways down the hall. She saw nobody and followed Sally inside.

Inside was Sonic's bedroom. The room was dark only the light of the moon shined a light blue in the room. With the explosion of the cube bomb the lights were cut off for the night until Tails fixed them. There was a large window with bright white brillant perde that were swaying swiftly along with the wind. Sonic was lying on bed covered in bed sheets. Emi sat next to him tapping his cheek with a white towel, only some of the spots of the towel had red dots.

"Is he okay?" Sally asked Emi with concern. She and Cream approached Sonic's bed.

Emi sighed. "He's doing better." She whispered back.

Sally placed the blue colorful vase next to Emi on a small bedside table and cream kneeled on the ground opening the aid kit. She took of another one of those clean towels Emi had in her hand and gave it to her. Emi gladly took it and exchanged for the one she already had placed it on top of the vase opening and picked it up. She tilted the vase down and water poured into the cloth. She tapped Sonic's with the wet cloth on his forehead where there was a burn injury. There was dry blood but it was healing, the stain marks from dirt and died blood passing on to the cloth.

"Gosh, he's such an idiot sometimes. He thinks he's Galahad or something." Sally muttered while rubbing her arm.

Emi looked baffled at her. "He saved my life." She stated innocently. "And he saved yours as well. He saved everyone's."

Sally looked regretful by the look she threw Emi. Sally rubbed the injury on her arm. A small red opening cut barely healing on its own. Emi tried her best to possibly not look at it, but Sally was covering it with her hand so it wasn't much of a problem for her. "I know, it's just, Sonic should think before he acts." She suddenly said her voice rising. Cream took out a healing cream and passed it to Emi. "There was no time to think." Cream whispered. "There was a timing bomb,"

Sally looked defeated. She sighed and turned around to the window. She walked up to look outside. "I just worry for the guy and frankly he's been through a lot." She said sounding hoarsely.

Emi turned back to face Sonic. She was feeling the same way Sally was feeling right now. Scared. Worried. Upset.

Cream got up just when Emi finished rubbing the cream on a few of his injuries. Cream placed her hand on Sonic's hand. "Please step aside, Emi." She instructed. Emi nodded and got up from the bed doing as told. Cream closed her eyes and then suddenly a light coming from Cream was send across Sonic's body. A green and blue swirl of color mixed around Sonic that shocked Emi. She had no idea what she was doing but she had never seen nothing like it.

"It's amazing what power she contains, huh?" Sally spoke with great softness. Emi turned to her. "What is she doing?" Emi asked Sally. Sally turned to Emi and smiled. "Cream's a healer. She has an energy booster to help her friends in need. Now, I haven't known her for long, but I do know that every time she uses her power, her life source gets taken away."

Emi gasped and jerked her head to Cream. "Will she be alright?" She asked in terror.

Sally giggled and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't panic little Emi. She heals just, it takes time for her to."

Emi relaxed her tensed muscles and exhaled. Cream's was done healing and backed away feeling woozy. She held her head and groan. Emi rushed over to her side and helped her stand. Sally helped too. "Thank you." She said standing now.

"You need to rest now Cream. It isn't good staying awake when doing what you just did." Sally told her. Cream nodded and turned to Sally. "I'll take you to your room." Emi offered.

"No, no. I'll take her. You have to stay here and protect dear old Sonic for me. Can you do that?" Sally asked with a wink.

Emi smiled softly. "Yes your majesty," Emi said proudly bowing down.

Sally looked uncomfortable and nervously smiled. "Hey, it's just Sally. You're my friend not my maid. I'll come back in a few." Sally warmly whispered to Emi. Emi felt her heart brightened with Sally's strong words. Sally left with Cream out of Sonic's room.

Emi smiled but it wiped away when she looked down at Sonic. She sat down next to him. She brought her hand to his cheek, caressing it softly. His cheek was smooth and soft. It felt nice to touch. She closed her eyes and imaged of blue clear skies and a happy town. A place of peace just like she'd always wished for. Smiles and laughter everywhere. "I'm so sorry," She whispered.

A hand rose and tangled in Emi's quills. Emi's eyes opened and Sonic was looking at her with his glowing emerald eyes. His eyes weren't fully opened but half way in a sleep state.

"Sonic?"

He smiled weakly at her. "Hey," He huskily said. She gasped with happiness. Both her hands reached Sonic's cheeks and she held them leaning forward. "You're okay," She squealed.

"Yea," he looked around and saw darkness. "Is everyone ok?" He asked getting up. Emi nodded but pushed him back down. "Yes, you don't have to worry about anyone. We're all alright, but worried for you." She said assuring him, her hands traveling down to his shoulders.

He let out a long breath and closed his eyes with relief. "Oh, that's good news," he trailed off. Emi hummed a huffed . She dropped her hands but his hand stayed attached to her cheek. "You ok?" he suddenly asked her his eyes opening. Emi was taken aback by his questioned by replied, "Yes, thanks to you." Her eyes opened. He smiled back. His hand dropped down to the bed's sheets. "We should sleep. It's late." He whispered. Emi smiled as his eyes slowly shut closed.

"No, you have to sleep." She told him softly. She got up the bed, seeing the dent she had made from sitting. She turned about to make a step but, Sonic grabbed her arm. She was startled and turned back. He took a breath and turned his head to the side. "Stay, please," he muttered. Understanding what he had said scared Emi, but he was hurt and maybe wanted a friend beside him. She nodded and sat back down. "Okay," She agreed. She sat back down next to him and he gave a light squeeze at her hand.

"Don't let go"

.:XxX:.

The wind blew softly into the room. The fresh cold air of the night. The curtains were blowing like light feathers dancing with the wind. The room was quiet and only the sound of the wind blowing in could be heard.

The door of the room opened silently and in came Sally. She closed the door once inside and looked around. The place was dark so she couldn't see as much. "Emi," She whispered roughly. She looked around. "Emi? Emi where are you?" She didn't see her around and wondered if she left. As she walked to the bed she turned to see if Sonic was okay. Her concern was only replaced by bewilder.

The light from the moon lit both Sonic and Emi who lay side by side in the large bed. Emi was asleep next to Sonic, shaped cut perfectly to fit in with his body. Sonic's chin rested on top of her head and his hand on top of Emi's. Sonic's mouth was slightly opened while Emi, snuggled underneath him in his chest, was breathing so lightly and calmly. They had fallen asleep together.

Sally felt something rise up her stomach, like hard rocks rolling and crashing into each other but she shook her head and dropped it. She allowed herself to smiled and walk to the front of the bed where there laid some sheets. She grabbed the blankets and moved back to the two hedgehogs. She whipped the blankets open and it extended across their body, covering them both up. "Rest you too." She whispered to them as she covered Emi's feet. "You two need it more than anyone else," She finished to herself leaning back. Something then caught her attention. A gleaming golden necklace in her neck. She stared at it for a while and then at Emi.

She smiled happily and turned around waling back to the door. She opened the large golden door and went out without hesitation to look back. She didn't need to, he was safe and so was Emi. In each other's warmth in this cold night. She had finally let Sonic go and she was proud of it. The door shut close.

Emi's necklace gleamed brightly with the moon's light. It was the last shiny object that that gave away the gleam before the shine disappeared and the shadow of a figure blocked it.

His scent.

His body wrapped around hers, coiled together.

His heartbeat.

The feeling was rushing up and down her sides and her own heart was beating twice as faster. She didn't want to wake up. The feeling next to him felt amazing and she's never done this before. Slept with someone. Never, but something told her this was awfully familiar. Though, she didn't know why and didn't care about it too much either.

Her eyes slowly slid open and the first thing she was light. The sun had risen up and she was still in bed. She groaned and closed her eyes getting closer to Sonic, but she never reached him. Her eyes fluttered open and she eyed her side. She sat up and looked around. Sonic wasn't in bed. He wasn't even in his room. She sucked in a long gasp and looked out the window. The sun was up and it was late. She never went to her bed. She slept with SONIC!

"No, no no no no no," She shook her head and threw the covers up and to the side. She threw her feet to the side and to the ground. She noticed she was still wearing her maid suit from last night but she was bare foot. Her shoes were on the bottom and she slid her feet in each of them. She felt coldness fill her body and shivered. She wrapped her arms around herself and rushed down the small flat steps which were like five and then raced to the door. She grabbed the knob and opened it.

She met face to face with Cherry.

Emi let out a scream and Cherry flinched backwards. "Holy Ambercane—Emi?"

Emi was breathing loudly nearly panting. This is what she didn't want to happen. "Good morning Cherry," She tried to maintain her voice only ending up cracking a few times in a row.

"What were you doing in Sonic's room?" Vitriolic said Cherry.

Emi began stuttering trying to get something out, but all that came out was 'I', 'Well' and 'uh'.

"Answer my questions," impatiently demanded Cherry.

'He let me sleep here for the night' she wanted to say but knowing Cherry's ways, that wasn't a good idea so instead she replied, "I was fixing his room. I have to go change now. Goodbye," Emi pushed herself passed Cherry and ran down the hall. Cherry's eyes were wide. She didn't want to believe it, but the answer was just told to her on the flesh.

"What did they do?"

.:XxX:.

Emi dropped her wet quills behind her on her shoulder and tied the bow on the back of her dress. She bit her lip and memory from last night covered her view. She slept in his bed. Her, a maid, slept with Sonic in his bed. Not only was that bad to do, but dangerous. A guy shouldn't have to sleep with a girl in the same bed when not married and especially the king. That was wrong, and she didn't do anything to say no, but she liked it. He didn't do anything harmful to her anyway. A pure gentleman. He wanted a friend to be with last night and he chose her. She was flattered but she began to wonder. Where did he run off to. She didn't wake up with him.

She walked to the door and walked out from her room. She grabbed ahold of her necklace and tightly gripped on to it. Walking down the empty hall felt strange. She felt lonely. She looked around and stopped. A little too lonely. "Where's everyone?" She muttered to herself. She continued to walk down the marble floor to the stairs to head down.

Each step she took made an echo sound. The stairs were in staircase form but larger in room and up in the walls were frames and paintings of Sonic's ancestors or past kings.

All were hedgehogs with different colors and shapes with sizes. They were interesting paintings to look at. She always did when she'd pass through here. She stopped and looked at a particular painting that always caught her attention.

A dark blue hedgehog, frowning on his throne chair with Aleena and a blue hedgehog who was smiling proudly up at his mom. That was Sonic and she knew it. It wasn't unmistakable. A happy camper he was.

'Amy,'

Her head flipped around but she saw nobody. She nervously looked up at the ceiling and took a small slow step to the next one.

'I'm over here,'

Emi turned. More golden ceilings and white walls. 'Hahaha'

Emi turned to the framed wall. The frames were golden and with cut in striped designs. She raised her hand and touched the golden strong frame. She wiped her hand on it and looked at her reflection. She was beautiful. Her quills down and wavy at that moment but when dried it was long and straight. She smiled at herself. A blue hedgehog then appeared and was laughing then disappeared. She blinked twice and shook her head. Her eyes were playing games with her again. She turned and was going to head downstairs for good. She was only half way the staircase but she was stopped when she saw a Black bat leaning against the walls down below her his arms crossed. He was eyeing her, his eyes crimson gold and his ears pointy. He wore a bad boy's leather jacket and he had one pierced ear. His boots were brown and had that extra piece of material for height. He grinned when she saw him and pushed himself off the wall. "Good morning Emi," He said with a happy friendly.

"Clade?" She gasped.

"So, you remember me. How sweet." He said with a low rough tone. He walked up to the steps and stopped there.

"How did you get in here?" Her voice was shaky and low. She feared his calm features. Like if he was going to attack her in any moment. She was unsure of something about him and didn't want to taunt him in anyway.

"Gosh, Emi, You're a slow poke. I'm sort of your everyday ninja." He said while uncrossing his arms placing them on his hips. Emi took a few steps back ever so slowly. She didn't want to run or he might chase her.

"You'd better go now. I don't want you to get caught around here." She warned him.

"Caught?" he looked insulted. "Now, you know as much as I do, I can't be caught." He said looking smugly.

"Why are you here first of all?" She asked in a low voice.

"I came to warn you, babes." He shrugged and stepped back. "Shadow's getting his army up and ready to come here and fast." His wings were flung out and his dashed up into the air and in front of Emi. She yelped and went back. "I tell you this because I was always on your side. " He backed away from her face and grabbed her hand and lifted it to his hands to kiss it. "But, it's not easy coming apart from my homelands."

Emi's heart relived that he wasn't going to harm her and took her hand back. "Then why do it?" She questioned him.

"You were my only friend." He whispered with a wink. "I'm only doing what's right here, but still Emi, You hehe, you slept with the King last night. How bad of you." He said teasingly, wiggling his fingers. "I like," He finished licking his lips.

Emi blushed but shook her head at him. "So, you've been here for a while." She muttered.

"I was send by Shadow to come check on you and get info from around here. I found it as an opportunity to come visit you." He got closer to her face and grabbed her hands. "Cl-Clade," She whimpered.

At the moment a blue flash came from around the corner and was aiming to get at the Clade but he was quick and had sense him before. Clade took flight but Sonic grabbed his leg and pulled him down and to the wall hard. Clade groaned for his head hit the wall hard. Sonic was murderously staring down at him, his arm choking his throat. "Shadow Lander," He growled.

"King Sonic," Clade replied with the same amount of hatred. Tails flew in with Sally who ran below him. They stood in shock looking up at them. Clade then grinned seeing he had friends and looked back at Sonic. "Heh, I've been caught," he pointed out admittingly while shrugging.

"No, Sonic!" Emi grabbed his arm and tried with all her strength to pull him away. "Let him go. He's on our side."

Sonic looked at his side and his eyes grew wide. "A Shadow Lander!?" He yelled in question.

"He's my friend." She defended and pulled him away from the bat. Clade coughed and flapped his wings and quickly was on the top of the stairs. "You've got strong muscles, boy. I like." He said flirtatiously

Sonic went pale white, as white as a piece of paper. Tails looked disgusted and Sally wanted to laugh but tried to hold it as much as she could.

"What's the matter, handsome, Bat got your tongue." He laughed.

Emi shook her head at him and turned to Sonic. "He's my old friend. He came to warn me about Shadow." She explained. Sonic angrily turned to her. "I don't trust him," He hissed.

"That's what you said with me, but look how I turned out." She rebutted.

Sonic looked back up at the bat who still was grinned at him. Sonic smirked back and crossed his arms. "What do you want, bat." He asked confidently.

"Your play friend is coming and is going to ruin your little festival, whenever it is." He said as he crossed his leg or the other. "Better watch out, Babes. After what happened yesterday, he isn't very pleased." He told Emi looking at her with a concern stare.

"Babes!?" Sonic parroted.

"Hey, don't get worked up hot stuff. I'm mostly gay than attracted to girls. Though, Emi's something." He said proudly.

"Why are you telling us this?" Sally asked.

"Because it's true. I'm really attracted to—"

"No, I mean about Shadow. Is there a specific reason as to why you'd be warning us or is it for a price well paid." Sally asked. Sonic liked how Sally talked. She was quick and smart, always knew what to say.

"Look, huns," Clade sighed, tired. " I'm Emi's friend. There's nothing more to it." He turned to Emi. "Now, I would like that info back for Shads."

Sonic glared at Emi. She nervously smiled at Clade not seeing Sonic. "I'm not telling you anything," She began. Sonic turned to Sally for help. She shrugged and so did Tails.

"I can tell Shadow you slept with Sir King. That'll get him pumped." Clade suggested.

"What!?" Tails yelled flinching.

"Yes, do so, please." Sally agreed. Sonic turned to her, his eyes wide open and his jaw opened into an 'O'. He changed his mind about her knowing what to say.

The bat got up on the railing and giggled. "Good. Take care Emi." He told her. Emi smiled and waved at him. "You too." He flew up and out of some open window in the ceilings.

Sonic turned to Sally. "Sal," he began.

Emi slowly turned to face him. He was glaring at Sally, but she didn't seem intimidated. She was smirking, her hands firm on her hips.

"You are a complete liar."

Sally's head shifted to Tails who was paled white. "Hey, I girl's got to do what a girl got to do." She said honestly. When Sonic's eyes blazed, a spark of fire burning in them, she added, "Besides, It's about time we mess around with that old hag. He deserves every bit of it. Though, I didn't completely lie to him." She turned to Emi who was staring at them very stilly. "Hm, isn't that right Emi,"

Emi flushed rapidly, with everyone looking at her with those eyes, why wouldn't she? Sonic looked at her sternly with such grim she didn't want to reply to Sally with the truth. Was he shy, embarrassed to have been with her and let anyone else know.

Emi's mouth tightened and she turned to the side to stare at the floor.

Sally's smirk disappeared and her gaze softened. "Hey you okay,"

"Yea, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." She muttered.

Sonic pouted his lip to the side and stared at the wall. Maybe Sally had a point. This was all fun and games to Shadow, why not return thee? If you can't beat them, join them.

He laughed and then crossed his arms. "Yea, your right Sal,"
Emi's head jerked upward and she met gaze with Sonic. He was smiling at her. "How 'bout we get things pumped around here." He said, smiling playfully at her.

Emi smiled back and Tails, who was completely shocked, finally said. "You slept with Emi?"

Cherry walked down into the maid's room. The room was empty everyone working somewhere else. She wiped out her communicator and pressed the red button. "Sir Shadow, we have a traitor in our hands."

She waited for a while until a reply came back to her. "I already know, but that doesn't interest me. We have an even bigger problem." Shadow told her through the radio line. Cherry walked into the little small kitchen the room had where the maids stored their snacks and lunches. She opened the little refrigerator and took out a little water bottle. She wiped it into her mouth once it was open.

"Sonic has slept with my future wife and now he has her in the grip of his hand. Sonic may discover the great power within her and he must now be stopped! You must kill him yourself!"

Cherry spit out the water she had in her mouth and accidently dropped the communicator. She silently cursed to herself and whipped her mouth with her sleeve and closed the bottle of water. She placed the water bottle on top of the refrigerator and bended on the floor to grab the communicator. "Kill him, but then that ruins your master plan."

"Sonic may learn the truth if she keeps going like this any longer. We can't risk losing Emi. She's our land's only hope for revenge."
Cherry rolled her eyes. "I cannot kill him. There are too many witnesses, then your plan will fail completely. You're coming here anyway. Kill him yourself. The more of a sweet revenge it'll be."

"I like the way you think Cherry. True evil in pure in you." Shadow chuckled.

Cherry giggled. "All's to serve you, my lord."

Longest chapter yet! New record XP

Clade was totally unexpected so ignore him. His a minor character. And just to make something's clear...again… Sonic and Emi didn't sleep sleep together. Everyone here has got it all wrong. It was just like a small sleep over or something, but some don't know that XD And Shadow, I understand you all know him as strong, quiet and firm, but here his like a nobleman's tone-attitude guy. His...cool that way :)

I'll be having small previews of my stories on my profile. If you want to check what's new you can always take a small peek. It won't hurt anyone ;D. I'm not very good with e-mails XP
