Chapter 18: Busted
Looking out from inside the castle into the open world was one of the most peacefulness Emi's ever felt at all. She was sitting in the ledge of the railing out in the balcony of Sonic's room. The hills in the horizon, with the sun barely coming out looked beautiful and the skies above her were a crimson blue. A few separated clouds surrounded the place. From above the tower she was on she could feel wind blowing her pink quills to the side more than she would on lower ground, but she liked it, the feeling of fresh air in the morning. It was all so calm she didn't want to ever leave this scenery.
"Emi," A voice whispered.
Emi turned around and saw Sonic coming onto the balcony. He looked just as calm as she did this fine morning and it surprised her. He was mostly rushing to things on mornings, but today…
"You sleep well?" He asked in a small mutter. Emi smiled and looked back at the large land Sonic had to watch over. With a nod she said, "Yea,"
He looked down the way she was looking and chuckled when he saw she was admiring the far lands and the way the darkness was setting with light coming in from the far horizon. "Aren't you cold?" His voice this time was concern. Emi shrugged without much emotion.
Sonic moved one hand under her leg and the other over to her back and carried her into his arms, bridal style. He carried her inside and closed the balcony doors with his foot.
Inside, he walked to the bed and placed her there. "I wasn't cold," Emi responded almost bluntly but with absurdness.
Sonic stepped away from her and smirked. "Yea, but I don't want you getting a cold. All you're wearing are jammies, and they aren't very long either."
This was true. She wore a medium size sleeping gown that Sonic had given her to sleep with. It was large for her but it only reached to her knees. If it were for someone's right size, it would have been too exposed from the bottom. 'Where did he get these from?' she asked herself, but she thought it'd rather be left unsaid.
"I won't get a cold," She muttered back.
Sonic chuckled and walked around his bed. Emi's eyes followed him until he reached his door. Emi turned around and bit her lip. She was wondering if he was going to leave her again like last time she 'slept over'. This morning she was lucky to have woken up earlier than Sonic.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
He opened the door and turned to her with a grin. "I'm going to the maid's room to find you something nice to wear. I'll be back." He assured her and dashed out with the door closing at the end.
Emi sighed and looked down for a moment. In moments pass, she got up and off the bed and walked around it. She turned slowly examining the room. When she got around the bed she saw a large cabinet that had a large mirror behind it. She arrived to stare at herself and predicted her quills messy and her face pale. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw her quills in place neatly. Her eyes then searched around. A few things were on the cabinet, a comb, stacks of books, papers with an ink in the side, the vase from before. Then Emi came across a picture frame. It carried a figure of two hedgehogs. Emi blinked and picked up the white glass frame with diamonds placed on each cornered side. She hadn't seen this before. One hedgehog was blue and the other…pink. Just like the ones she had seen before. Like a dream.
The two hedgehogs were out in the free open meadow. The grass bright green, the skies bright blue and the sun was sunning down. The pink girl had a cute little blue dress with a white bow and the hedgehog was hugging her tightly. Their cheeks were pressed against each other tightly and both were smiling.
'Sonic,' laughed a small girl voice. 'Stooop,'
'Come here,' he grabbed her and kissed her cheek. The girl continued to laugh as he teasingly nuzzled his nose against her cheek. 'Ok fine, you win,' the voice squealed with laughter.
She narrowed her eyes and her head tilted to the side in confusion.
"Emi?"
She flinched and Sonic met her eyes. She placed the photo down and backed away. He looked down and smiled. He looked somewhat pleased but saddened to her when he muttered. "Those were the good times,"
Emi looked up at him. "Who is she?" She felt herself ask.
Sonic grabbed the photo and stared down at it. "Amy,"
Emi's eyes widened and she rigid everywhere. That name, it was the same one haunting her, but where had she heard it before. Not through anyone's lip (but his right now) that's for sure, but whom?
"Her real name was Amelia, but everyone called her Amy…Amy Rose."
"Amy?"
She shook her head from side to side. "No, it's with an E….sir," She quietly said at the end.
"Amy,"
"Emi!" Amy "Come here!" Ms. Catt called
'Amy come here,"
"Amelia!"
Emi shook her head suddenly feeling dizzy. So many flashbacks of déjà vu callings came to her. Sonic chuckled and turned to her. "She was very sweet and basically the realest person here." He placed the photo frame down faced down and turned away from it to her. "But that's ancient history. She's gone now."
To Emi that sounded to sadly done. His voice ached in pain when he said those last words, and she even noticed. Emi placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "She will always live within you," She said softly. She pointed down at his chest and to his heart. "Right here,"
Sonic eyed her with a raised eyebrow and a small smug. Emi backed away. "What?"
Sonic laughed to himself and grabbed her hand. He coiled his fingers with hers and walked her to the middle of his up two feet floor near the window and balcony. "Emi, I've been wondering." He began with a soft voice.
Emi blinked twice and carefully stared at his beautiful eyes. So green so bright, she loved his eyes.
"You know how the festival's tomorrow and all," He began, catching her attention.
The festival, she had totally forgotten for some time. There had been so much to do around and for what? Nothing?
"I was hoping you'd be my partner."
Emi's eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened in shock. Sonic smiled sweetly at her and tilted his head to the side a little. "Y-you mean…"
"Yea," he said leaning closer towards her. "I…I really like you and I well…want you to be my partner." He said almost nervously but he meant it. Emi was blushing madly and couldn't stop either. "You want me to be your partner for the ball?" She asked softly.
"Yea, consider it another date," he said with a wink.
Emi giggled and leaned forward to peck his lips. Sonic was taken in by surprised but it wasn't long till he closed his eyes quickly but opened them just as fast when she broke away. He took in the sweet taste of her lips. Her soul in the taken "I'd love to be your partner." She giggled and pressed her forehead against his. A grin grew and he pressed his lips onto hers. Sweetly, Emi allowed him to and kissed him back.
Again, like last night, a passionate kiss returned and Sonic couldn't restrain himself. He liked kissing Emi now and found himself falling hard. Never again did he see himself falling head over heels with a maid. He was proven wrong.
"Emi," Sonic muttered against her lips after a moment. "Hm," She hummed.
"I got your clothes but what size cup are you?" he whispered almost distantly, breaking from her lips slowly.
Emi broke the kiss completely and playfully smacked his shoulder while giving a small chuckle. She blushed furiously. Her cheeks were red, but Sonic didn't seem to notice because he was grinning like mad while walking off the restroom.
Afternoon was like any afternoon in the palace would be. The maids were working and Sonic and Tails spending their time together. They had a long talk about what had happen and made amends. Sonic did feel bad though he couldn't do the same from Sally. He had tried sending a massager to her place but so far she hadn't replied to his letter.
The sun shined brighter than usual inside the ball room as Emi mopped the floors once again. Wave helped her by brooming first before she mopped pass the floor.
Rouge flew down to where a purple and pink colored cat was. A dark black mustache stood out on his face and wore noblemen's clothing's, a lavender suit and on the little pocket of his shirt, a red rose.
"BLIMEY ME!" The cat's voice was British and gleeful. Emi found herself chuckling a bit by his accent. The cat rushed over to Cream who was holding a hat with flowers around the top. She had made it with her own hands and the cat, with wide dark purple eyes, was fawning over it.
"Such splendid work you've created there." He told her, his big enlightening eyes intimating her. Cream nervously looked up at him. "Oh, yea, thank you,"
The cat squealed and backed away happily. "My oh my, Your still as beautiful and talented as your mother dreamy Cream," he said. Cream turned to Rouge, who smirked.
"Rouge! You're just absolutely gorgeous! Turn to the left for me, will you." He said to Rouge. She turned without hesitation and the cat gasped with a sequel. "What a fit shape." He said sweetly to her.
Rouge laughed and began to blush. "Aw, Lucas stop," She said flattered, and flickered her fingers.
Emi smiled and stood up straight from her bending down. Lucas turned and saw Emi. His eyes gleamed with surprised expression for he did not see her before.
"Golly, and who might this lovely flower be?" he said to her his hand extending out in questioning.
"Her name's Emi. She's new here so don't give her a hard time." Rouge said her hands in her hips.
"But of course," He smiled at Emi. "Lucas Brand, a pleasure to meet a fine lady like yourself," He said politely.
Emi smiled shy and let go one of her hands from the mop's stick to grab his and shake his hand. "Emi, nice to meet you too," She let go of him and he began to study her. "Hmm, such figure of voice. Her eyes sparkle with the sun's light, your hair thin as a flower's leaf. Boy oh boy, Emi you're precious." He gushed, his hands going to his cheeks to cover any blushing. Quickly, with his hands he put in an angle pose, he measured her face. "You're perfect for the festival's dance group. OHyee!"
"T-thank you," Emi nervously smiled at him, her brows rising and she turned to Cream but she shrugged with a giggle. "But…"
Lucas walked up to Emi and grabbed the rose from his pocket in his shirt while she began, but stopped her.
He stuck it onto Emi's quills and grabbed her hand. Suddenly he twirled her in circles and Emi gasped unable to react quickly to this. Lucas spun her into his arms and Emi blinked in confusion. "Like a red rose, you have the potential to rise up into something strong." He predicted and once again twirled her to the side.
"What is this a fashion fiesta?"
Tails voice ran into each and everyone's ears. They all turned and Sonic and Tails stood in the hallway. They both held smiles to die for and walked to where the commotion was.
"No, but your royal majesties—"
"Aren't you supposed to be in the village teaching the people the dance steps?" Sonic asked a sly smirk forming.
"Well yes, but here I see a fine young lady who has a bright future. My lord she has the skills and figure to be in my dancing group—"
"That won't be necessary Lucas." Sonic said firmly but a smile.
Lucas' smile faded and he frowned. "And why not?"
Sonic walked up to Emi and picked out the rose from her hair and handed it to her. Emi took it happily and smelled it. A bit sad that the rose no longer lives but glad it was happy enough to send its scent around to cheer people. "Because, Emi will be my partner for the ball tonight." He announced.
The room went numb and all gasped.
Sonic chuckled and turned to Cream. "I came to ask for your help Cream. Would you find Tikal for me? Emi'll need a nice dress for tomorrow night," he told her.
"Yes sir," Cream nodded with cheerfulness.
He turned to Rouge. "Find Bunny, we need a stylist because all of you must look your best." He told her.
"Anything for you," Rouge said flirtatiously, but in a friendly way.
He shifted his head to the side to smirk at Emi. She blushed instantly thinking about the way he was looking at her. The same way he had been when he had kissed her. "Do you dance?" he asked her.
"Dance? No," Darn, she thought. She forgot that she had never learned to dance. She basically never has done it. Her past life was full of boredom, hard work and fear.
"Good, because," he leaned to her ear. "That gives us more time to ourselves," He whispered.
She grinned along with a blush but was somewhat uncomfortable so moved away. "Sonic please,"
Sonic grabbed her hand and lifted it up to twirl her once and come back to wrap his arm around her for a bring-back to his chest. "Emi please," He mockingly repeated. Emi grinned shyly and everyone stared in awe.
"Ah, young love," Lucas wiped a single tear from his eye. "Gets me every time," He finished in a dramatic tone that made Tails roll his eyes and Rouge huff a skeptical puff, but she smirked, clearly agreeing with him.
Cream and Lucas laughed in cheer joy. Sonic let Emi go and but his gaze didn't let hers go. He eyed her in a most lovely stare that got Emi returning her gaze with affection.
Cream turned to Lucas still laughing, but it was cut short. In the doorway of a hallway entrance she saw a dark figure. Her eyes darkened seeing that when she looked at it the figure ran away. Emi's eyes widened when Cream suddenly dashed to the doorway.
"Cream!?" Emi called out and followed her.
Sonic, Rouge and Lucas were left dumbfolded but weren't slow on the act. Sonic dashed after Emi. Rouge flapped her wings and flew behind Sonic.
"Wait!" Lucas called after, "Wait for me!"
.:XxX:.
[Mephiles' Whisper (Theme)]
With nowhere to hide and to go, the figure gasped out air she had been holding and rushed into an open door room. She quickly closed the door and took out her communicator.
"Sir, I've been spotted but with information. Sonic and the girl are together; the festival is completely finished and starts tomorrow. The main dancers: Sonic and Emi. I need that hiding spy to help me. Where is he?" She almost said pleadingly.
"You've done good Cherry, but sadly you won't need that spy. I've had a change of plans," The dark voice told her.
"A change of plans?!" Cherry screamed terrified.
The door slammed opened and in came Cream with Emi. Cherry's ears bend down in fear. Sonic entered in and saw Cherry with her communicator. He held a shocked expression, the look of betrayal. Cream gasped, "Cherry?!"
"So I see you've caught my little spy," The voice in the communicator evilly said, scaring Emi and Cream. Cherry was baffled by the words Shadow had spoken.
Sonic's eyes shifted from the communicator to Cherry. A deep deadly glare that Emi had never seen before, not even with her.
"I know all your secrets and defense plans. You have nowhere to run, nowhere to go, you're dead Sonic." Shadow spoke with great patience causing anxiety to Sonic. "You better surrender now while you can, you and your kingdom. Give me my future wife and your throne and I'll let you live." He said with complacent.
Cherry gasped and backed away.
"Never," Sonic snarled.
Shadow chuckled and then darkly ordered Cherry, "Kill him,"
Cherry shook her head and the communicator exploded in her hand. Sonic dashed to Cherry, but she dodged to the side. She used her foot to kick him in the stomach and buy herself time to make a run for the door. Cream got in a fighting position but Cherry took out a knife and Cream backed down.
Emi got in front of Cherry to block her from leaving. The knife in her hand moved close to Emi's chest but Emi backed away, but bravely stood in front. Cherry jumped up and flipped her feet to try to smack Emi's face, up Emi dodged down, but Cherry got to the other side and kicked her down.
Emi was thrown down to the floor and Cherry made a run out the room and down the hall.
"Son of a bitch!" Cherry cursed, "When I see him again I will—" She never got to finish her sentence for Sonic spin dashed her down to the floor. Sonic grabbed her by her shirt roughly and picked her up to face him. "You Traitor!" He snarled, his black holes looking murderously at her blue ones.
Cherry smirked and slammed her elbow on his chest, leaving him breathless and choking. She stood up and slammed the same elbow on his back neck, pushing him down on the floor. She got the knife facing downwards on her hand and shook her hand. "I'm sorry Sonic, but I had to be in the winning team."
Sonic groan on the floor and she sighed. "I always did like you." She spun the knife and then aimed it down on to his back. Sonic new his faith then, he tightened his eyes shut and grimaced.
"No you won't!" Emi yelled coming towards her. Her hand extended out and suddenly a red hammer, long with the hammers head being yellow and solid. She whipped it across the air and made contact with her. Cherry was sent flying to the wall and hit her head hard against it, knocking her out.
Emi panted hard, breathing quicker than she should be. She dropped the new weapon on her hand and stared at her hands in shock. Her eyes were small out of shock and she backed away from the hammer. She had a new power.
Sonic got up from the ground and had seen the whole thing to be shocked himself as well. He though, rushed to Emi's side and grabbed her hands. "You okay?" He was deeply concern so she didn't want to scare him. "Yes," but truly, she wasn't.
"What happened!?" Lucas, who barely had arrived with Rouge, asked looking around. Cream ran out from the room and passed the sleeping body near the wall. "I'll go get help. Keep her down." She ran down the hall.
Rouge flew to Cherry. "Why is she hurt?" She turned to Sonic. "Sonic what happened?"
"We had a spy in our kingdom and it wasn't Emi." Sonic replied hugging Emi in his embrace. She was shaking out of fear. Rouge covered her mouth to block her gasp. He rubbed Emi's back smoothly and kissed her forehead before placing his chin on top of her head. Emi feeling comfort but still frightened only whimpered.
...Weird Chap. I know, but I can't believe it took me "years" to finish this XC
Usually I don't take this long. Anyway, kinda left it in on a cliff hanger because you know...Cherry got caught, they know there in danger...now what? HAHA I know you all have questions, but if there's enough reviews, I don't know }:), I might updated sooner, but I'm not in charge of that ;D
Anyway, hoped you liked this Chap.
Until Weeks pass, bye now ^^
