Amy then ran out of my sight. I hadn't even been here twenty-four hours yet, and I already hated the King. But who could blame him for wanting Amy to do that. Amy was gorgeous! She had a better figure then the princess; the corset that was supposed to give females an hourglass figure, hung loosely on her, but she was sickly skinny either.

However it wasn't just her figure that made her gorgeous; her short pink quills cupped her pretty face, her jade green eyes sparkled like stars and her muzzle was a brilliant shade. Although Sally was attractive, Amy was better.

I walked to my chambers slowly thinking to myself. But my thoughts were interrupted when I came to the doors of me chambers. Stood by in front of them was Princess Sally. She smiled and I returned it.

"Sally, what can I do for you?" I asked politely.

"Well I came here to invite you to the ball my father is having for me, the whole kingdom will be there."

"Yes of course. When is it?"

"Three days time, sorry that it's such short notice."

"No it's fine. I'll be there."

"That's great. And I also came because you said you would tell me what you were laughing at." Damn it! I was hoping she'd forget.

"It's a long story; you'd have to have been there." I answered quickly.

"Well I have a lot of time and I'm sure you could explain it." She just doesn't give up!

"I'm sorry Sally, but I had a long journey and I just want to go to bed."

She looked disappointed "Oh no, I'm the one who is sorry. I'll let you rest. Good night."

I said good night to her and she left. I walked in to my chambers and looked around. On each wall was a lamp full of oil so all I had to do was light it. I was on the second floor so I had a balcony. The bed was by the far wall and hand light blue curtains that went all around the bed. I had a wardrobe (that I needed to fill with clothes) and a stand that my new armour was on.

I got out of my clothes and put then in the basket by the door that the maids would collect in the morning. I still had my underwear on and I couldn't be bothered to look through my bags for my nightclothes, so I just slipped under the soft blue sheets.

I couldn't sleep; know that Amy was with the King. I shuddered at the thought. I felt my anger boil up at the thought of her in his bed having to do what ever he wants her to. She obviously hates him so it wouldn't surprise me if she denied him.

She most likely had bruises all over her body that were hidden under her long dresses.

Amy

I walked, well limped, out of the King's room in a new dress. It looked just like my other dresses (long-sleeved and went down the ankles) but it was red and I didn't have the brown corset on anymore.

I always had a corset on underneath anyway (even if I had the other corset on the top), the King says 'its fun to undress women, especial the corsets'.

I ached all over; I had been punished for being late and the King just so happened to have a whip, for horseracing tomorrow.

It was about three in the morning that means I had been in there for about eight hours now. The king had sent two guards that had been on night watch, to pick me up from his room, like every night to "escort" me to the dungeon. I got lucky and had to of the nicer guards (Knuckles and Silver), we weren't friends but they were nice to me. I was so tired that I feel about twelve times before Silver took pity on me, picked me up and carried me the rest of the way. I didn't even bother to fight back, I just feel asleep.

I had some how managed to sleep and woke to the sound of knocking on the door.

Amy

I had gone to the King's chambers like every morning. Once I was there I set down the food and before I could turn away, he said "Amy get Sonic. I'd like to speak with him."

"Y-yes of course" I stuttered a bit, I was scared of him. As I said that he smirked, knowing that I was. I turned out of the room and shut the door.

I quickly ran down the hall (it was so painful to run), knowing that if I got there faster then I would have some time to talk with him and not have the king be suspicious about it.

I got to Sonic's door and knocked.

Sonic

"Come in" I said. And as soon as I did Amy walked in and shut the door behind her.

She took one step forward and I saw pain in her eyes when she did. 'She must be in pain from last night' the sick bastard! "Amy are you alright?" I asked getting out of bed.

She blushed, and I noticed that all I was wearing was my underwear. "The king would like to speak with you" She said, not answering my question.

"And I would like to speak with you Amy" At the moment I didn't care what I was wearing and walked next to her, but she moved away from me.

"Are you alright?" I asked again.

"You have to get dressed" She said, again not answering my question.

"As soon as you answer my question I will."

"Yes I'm fine, now get dressed" I went over to my bag and pulled out a white shirt and black trousers.

I pulled them on quickly; as I was getting dress I noticed that Amy was looking the other way at the balcony doors. I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder, but moved it as soon as I heard her cry out.

I didn't know if it was because I scared her or hurt her so I asked "Amy what's wrong?" She took a couple of steps away from me.

"N-nothing, I-I'm fine." But pain was written all over her face. I took a step towards her but she backed away again.

"Amy stop moving away from me" I said gently. I kept walking towards her but she kept backing away, but soon enough her back hit the wall, and she winced.

I took the opportunity to corner her. I put me hands on either side of her against the wall so she couldn't get away. "Amy what's wrong?" I demanded. She looked up at me and all I saw was fright and pain, tears threatening to fall. "Amy what's wrong?" I said again, in a gently voice so not to scare her anymore then she was.

When she didn't answer I put my hand on her shoulder again. She winced, only proving me right, she hadn't cried out over me startling her the first time, but out of hurting her.

I then pulled down the sleeve of her dress to see a bruise. It was a horrible dark purple, almost black, and it covered her whole shoulder. I wanted to see if the other shoulder had one so I went to pull down the sleeve until she stopped me.

"W-what are you doing!?" Her voice was full of fear. I looked down at her face so see that the tears that had once threatened to fall now had.

"I'm not going to hurt you, please trust me" I said looking in to her eyes. I didn't get an answer, so I went to remove the part of her dress covering her shoulder.

She had another bruise; it covered her whole shoulder like the last one. I wanted to know if there were anymore, but the only way was to remove her dress. The sound of her voice brought me out of me trance, "We have to go now, King Acorn is waiting for you." I decided to leave it for the moment because I was afraid that if I kept her any longer the king would punish her.

"Alright" I pulled the part of her dress back up and stepped back. "But I still want to talk to you" I said.

"I know. And you can today, the king is going out horseracing, but he makes sure someone keeps an eye on me at all times" Amy then walked to her door and was going to open it but I ran in front and opened it for her as I didn't want her to hurt her shoulder.

Amy knocked on the door "Come in" the King said. I was going to open the door but Amy stopped me.

"I'm the one who has to open the door for you" She whispered. So I let her open it. Amy held the door open for me to walk in and then she walked in behind me.

"Good girl Amy" He said to her and I could see her trying not to cringe.
