Sonic

The king was sat in a chair behind a desk "What can I do for you sire?" I asked and bowed.

"Come sit" the king gestured to a chair opposite him behind the desk. I walked over and sat in the chair. "Amy" Amy looked up in his direction "Come sit with me" He then gestured for Amy to sit in a chair next to him. Amy did as she was told and sat next to him. He started to fiddle with on of her quills, looking at me. I tried my best to look at him but I could see Amy cringing in the corner of my eye. "Sorry to call you here this early but I have to ask, did Sally invite you to the ball I'm having for her?"

"Yes she did. And I said I would attend" I answered.

"Oh excellent, I thought she would. She's taken quite a shine to you" He grinned at me.

"I'm very flattered your majesty" I lied.

"Well Sally was too shy to ask you herself so she asked me to ask you, if you would be so kind as to accompany her to the ball" She didn't even know me that well.

"Yes, I'd love to" I lied again, if I wanted to be trusted to look after Amy today then I'd have to get on his good side.

"Good, I shall tell her later. And remember Sonic, she is my daughter so don't get too carried away that night if things should lead to that" He jested.

I went along with it and smile "Don't worry sire, I won't."

"Thank you Sonic, that is all. Now if you'll excuse me I have to be going, the horseracing will start with out me if I'm not there." He then turned to Amy "Amy, one of the guards will be here in a minute." He said as he stopped fiddling with her quills.

I knew why, but I needed the subject to come up so I could offer. "Why is a guard coming up, may I ask?"

"Someone must keep watch over her. However I need the guards else were, I might have to ask Sally." The king said, mostly the last part to himself.

"I could do it for you. I wouldn't want Sally to be burdened with her" I said.

"Sally does hate Amy. Would you do that for me Sonic? If she becomes too much trouble hand her to the guards and they'll inform me." The king stood up.

"Yes of course." I said getting up.

"Amy, if you cause Sonic any trouble you will be punished, do you understand?"

She got up "Yes sire" she said curtsying.

"Good luck with the horseracing sire" I said to keep on good terms with him.

We all walked over to the door and I bowed. I and Amy walked back to my chambers in silence, so no one would get suspicious. Once we entered my chamber, I shut the doors behind me. Amy was quick to make distance between us, and as soon as I started to move towards her she moved back. Not this again! I decided to do what I did last time and backed her into that wall. She winced when her back went into contact with the wall and I used my speed to run over and put my hands on either side of her, like last time, so she couldn't runaway. "Amy where else are you hurt?" I asked.

"N-nowhere, I-I'm fine, r-really" She was a really bad liar.

"Amy." I said in a warning voice, but kept it soft so I wouldn't scare her. But she seemed scared anyway, why though? I wasn't going to hurt her.

"Please j-just drop the subject" tears started to form in her eyes. I had either scared her that much or she was remembering last night.

"No Amy I won't. I need to know" I told her in a soft voice.

"Why do you care?" She bit out, her voice defensive.

"Because, I don't like seeing people hurt." I told her.

"You're the commander on the army, you have to hurt people when you go to war" She had a good point.

"It doesn't mean I like it. But back to you, where else are you hurt?"

"Like I said nowhere" She was being so stubborn.

I knew I wasn't going to get an answer, so I'd have to find out for myself. I gently took her left hand with my left hand and pulled sideways gently so her body pivoted. Her back was now to me and I could see the ties on her dress, I quickly, but gently, took both her hands and put them together above her head and against the wall, holding them with one hand. "W-what a-are you d-doing" she asked, her voice only had fright in it.

"Your not tell me where your hurt, so I'm going to find out" I said softly so not to scare her, more than she already was. I then pulled the first tie that was holding her dress together and it came undone, there were about ten of them in total. I then went to do the next one.

"W-wait s-stop, please d-don't!" She said struggling to get her hands free, I stopped undoing the tie.

"Shh Amy… its ok, I promise I won't hurt you" I said, and started to undo the tie again. Amy didn't say anything after that. I undid the last tie, and I could see that she had a corset on underneath, but that wasn't the thing I was most interested in, she had huge black bruises all over the parts of her back, that I could see, and from the edges of her corset I could see angry red scars. I let her hands go and she turned to me, her hands at the top of the dress to keep it from falling. Her face had fear written all over it and the tears had fallen from her eyes. I didn't want to make her cry, but I had to see where she was hurt. I went to wipe a tear away from her muzzle, but she jerked her head away from me. "Amy I won't hurt you, please don't cry."

"W-why are you doing this?" She asked, referring to me undoing her dress.

"I told you. So I can see where you're hurt" I said, I moved my hand to wipe a tear away again, but she jerked her head away again.

"I-is that all you wanted!? O-or did you want to do the same thing t-the King does to m-me!?" She accused. That was why she was so frightened of me? She thought I was going to rape her!

"I wouldn't do that! I would never do that to anyone!" I told her. And I was telling the truth, I wouldn't even dream of it!

"T-then why did you just force my dress o-off me!?"

"Because you weren't going to tell me where you were hurt" I said, trying not to raise my voice at her.

"W-why do you n-need to know a-a-anyway!?" More tears fell from her jade eyes, and ran down her muzzle.

"Because… I-I… I don't like seeing people hurt" I didn't actually know the reason why.

"If you don't like seeing people hurt then w-why look!?"

"I want to see if I can help you Amy. I don't want to hurt you, and I won't hurt you I promise you, I won't." I told her gently and went to wipe a tear away again, and this time she let me.

She sighed "w-well now you've seen, so do it back up" she said, turning her back to me. But I wasn't done yet, I knew it wasn't just her back. So instead of doing the dress back up I gently pulled the sleeves down so they slid off her arms, and, as they were the only things holding her dress up, it fell to the floor, and created a pool of fabric around her feet. She gasped and turned around staring at me, with shock and fright on her face. Her arms were across her chest. "Wh-what are you…?"

"You and I both know that you aren't just hurt on your back."

"B-but-" I cut her off.

"I won't hurt you Amy" I told her softly. What did the King do to her to make her this afraid of me? I then saw more bruises up her arms and legs. I couldn't see her stomach because of her corset and I couldn't see her chest because she had put her arms over it. I gently took her hands and removed them from over her chest. She blushed as I removed her hands and looked at her chest. It had scars on it, so the King must have pulled a knife across it. Some of the scars went further down but I couldn't see because of her corset. I didn't want to scare her anymore so I didn't even try to see the other scars.

Sorry for the long wait, my computer is crap. Thank you to those who are still reading this crap, it actually really means a lot to me. I don't really like this story anymore and I'm just trying to finish and forget it, to be honest. To those of you who are worrying that I won't finish this story, don't worry, it is actually already finished I just need to get it up on here. I'll get all the chapters up as soon as I can, but I'm really busy and I when I copy and paste to here, it doesn't like paragraphs so it just all clumps together and I don't really have the time to go through it and press 'enter'. Thanks again :)
