Chapter 45: A Mother's Fear
"How could he...how could he do this to me…" Sally whispered. She grabbed a mirror on Alice's shelf and looked at her reflection...all she saw were wrinkles and graying hairs...indicating her stress. She knew Amy was a young, bubbly, vibrant girl which made Sally feel insecure...however she shook those thoughts away and decided to head to the royal library.
"I want to know where Amy Rose lives." Sally instructed. The servant girl nodded and researched her home address before handing Sally a piece of paper with writing.
"This is where she lives." The servant girl said. Sally read the address and nodded.
"Good..I know where that apartment complex is." Sally said. "By the way, if my husband asks..do not tell him where I am."
"Yes, your majesty." The servant replied. Sally stormed out of the castle...she was gonna confront the woman who slept with her husband.
Sally soon arrived at Amy's door before ringing the doorbell. The door was soon opened by the pink hedgehog herself, Amy was indeed surprised that Sally was there at her doorstep...a person she hasn't seen in twenty years. She indeed looked different, that fangirl became a mature young woman over the years.
"S-Sally.." Amy whispered.
"Amy Rose, may I come in?" Sally asked, not showing any emotion. Amy nodded and moved out the way for the queen to enter. It was awkward for Amy, but she tried to keep a smile.
"Make yourself at home." Amy offered. "May I get you some tea?"
"No thank you, Amy…" Sally whispered. "I'm here for two reasons...first being to confront you!"
"About what?" Amy asked.
"Don't play dumb...I know you slept with Sonic, my own husband!" Sally yelled. Amy bowed her head in shame, knowing she'd get caught sooner or later. "Sonic told me everything...about the affair, about your son with him that you kept from him for years! How could you do this, Amy?! I looked at you as my little sister! Is your obsession with Sonic more important than the sanctity of someone's marriage.
"I kept him a secret to spare you from the drama!" Amy replied. "What I did was wrong...I had no excuse to sleep with him...I didn't expect Sonic to even find out about his son.."
"Well now you have no secret, because our children ran away!" Sally said.
Amy's eyes widened. "WHAAAAAAAT?!" She shrieked.
"Yes..." Sally replied, handing Amy the note. Amy read through the note, getting even more worried by the second.
"We have to find them!" Amy exclaimed.
Sudden Sally started to cough excessively, making Amy rush to her aid. "S-Sally, are you okay?!" She asked.
"I'm fine….let's search around the city first.." Sally suggested. Amy nodded and the two left Amy's apartment..searching for their children.
Meanwhile Sonic decided to leave the castle, he figured Sally didn't want to see him for awhile. He ran from the town to Tails's workshop, where he and his family resided.
Sonic knocked on the door, in which Cream answered with her cheery smile. "Oh hello, Mr. Sonic. Isn't it a wonderful morning?"
"Yeah yeah, have you seen Tails, Cream?" Sonic asked.
"Oh, well he should be in the workshop in the back, but would you like to join us for pancakes?" Cream offered.
"No thanks, I had a big breakfast but thanks." Sonic replied before running towards the back. Sonic headed into the opened garage door where Tails was.
"Hey Sonic, what's up? Did you tell Sally the truth?" The fox asked.
"Well yeah...she kicked me out." Sonic said. "So..mind if I stay with your family?"
"Well sure, just don't sleep with my wife." Tails joked which made Sonic roll his eyes.
"Great! So what are you gonna do today?" Sonic asked.
"Well I gotta deliver something to Angel Island for Knuckles." Tails said.
"Cool. Can I come?" Sonic asked.
"Sure, it'll be like old times!"
