Sonic

I winced again at another one of Amy's screams. Ugh! I'll kill him, the sick bastard! Amy screams again, it was louder this time; I was close.

Rouge

I had finally found a sword, and was now running back to the doors that lead to the garden. I came to a sudden halt when a guard (that wasn't on our side) stopped me. "I'm sorry miss, but I can not allow you to go any further." Ugh! Bastard!

"And why the hell not?!" I screeched, losing my temper.

"Easy there, miss, or you might just get yourself hurt" He smirked, a silent threat lingering on his words.

"Like you could hurt me" his eyes narrowed.

"Yes I can, because you are just a helpless little female" he stated it as a fact.

My eyes narrowed "you bastard! You think you can talk to me like that?!"

"I know I can, you worthless female! Now get out of here before I decide to beat you!"

"Hey! Bastard! Don't. Talk. To. Her. Like. That."

My heart leaped in my throat, I knew that gruff voice anywhere.

Amy

I screamed in complete pain. My skin burned as the rain hit my cuts. Black bruises slowly made them selves show. "S-stop it!" I cried out trying to move away from him.

His reply was another cut. I screamed again. He threw me to the floor this time; I slowly turned myself, so I was facing him. He towered over me, a sick twisted grin on his face!

He laughed, pointing the sharp dagger at me "Oh Amy, you had such a pretty little body, now look at you. I don't want that anymore."

He was right, I looked down at myself; my dress was now torn, but still luckily covered my inappropriate areas. I had cuts and bruises all over my body. I doubt even Sonic would want me now…

"You were a good little play thing for a while, but then you had to fight back, didn't you?! You just had to go seduce that blue hedgepig and make him love you!" He hit me again "You. Belong. To. Me!" He hit me between each word, he was breathing heavily now. My tears mixed with the rain hitting my cheeks.

A sigh escaped his lips, he crouched down to my level, I tried to crawl backwards, but I was just too weak! "You did belong to me Amy. But from now on you'll belong to the devil" he said nonchalantly "Any last words?"

"I believe that even the devil is kinder than you!" I shouted, spitting in his face!

His face twisted with anger, "Why you little…!" He raised the dagger above his head, aiming it above my heart. He drove the dagger towards my heart, but it didn't get very far as a hand gripped his wrist. I looked to the owner of the hand and gasped, my guardian angel had saved me.

Sonic

I was now jogging as I heard their conversation! As I heard the question "any last words?" escape from his lips, I sprinted, going faster then I ever had before.

I then saw them, Amy laying there on her back, pure fear and hatred written on her face, and him standing above her, a dagger in hand. I leaped forward and grabbed his wrist, in a vice strong grip. I heard Amy gasp, but I couldn't take my eyes off the cold bastard as I looked upon him with pure hatred.

He looked up at me, the anger on his face melted to fear as I stared hard into his eyes. My grip tightened on his wrist, causing him to drop the dagger; it clattered on the floor. Once it was out of his hands, I threw him to the floor. He scrambled to his feet.

Once he was away from me, his fear vanished and a smirk played on his lips "Oh look Amy, Sonic's come to rescue you. How very sweet of him, he can join you in hell!"

I stepped in front of her, blocking his view. "Don't you dare threaten her!" Anger surged threw me, hatred clouding my mind.

I picked up the dagger without taking my eyes off him.

King Acorn

As Sonic picked up my dagger, I noticed his fur changing darker and his pupils fading to white. What is he?

Normal

As quick as lightning Sonic ran into the darkness, nowhere to be seen. The king turned a full three hundred and eighty degrees; it was as if Sonic had vanished. Deciding that he had run away the King turned back to Amy "He's left you Amy! He must have seen how weak you were, and decided you weren't worth fighting for!"

Those words hurt, more than the cuts, more than the bruises. Amy felt new hot tears running down her cheeks, mixing with the freezing rain.

King Acorn made a step towards Amy, a big mistake on his part. Sonic flew past him, slicing the dagger across his chest. And then he zipped back again, this time behind the King, drawing the dagger across his back. Sonic was just a dark blue blur.

Before the king even had time to scream Sonic ran past him again, and again, and again. Cutting the king multiple times; blood trickled out of the king's freshly cut wounds.

Rouge turned to look behind her, seeing Knuckles. She couldn't help but smile.

"Ah Knuckles, what are you doing here? It's not like you to protect a pretty lady" the guard sneered, ignoring the 'bastard' comment.

Knuckles chuckled "You don't know me at all, and she's not just a pretty lady, she's a pretty lady, not to be insulted by you talking to her."

"I should have your head for that remark!" The guard stated.

"If you want my head then come and fight me for it" the guard just looked at him; completely stunned. Knuckles never had smart remarks, ever.

Knowing very well that he could not fight Knuckles and win he said "I was only jesting Knuckles." He chuckled nervously.

"Well I wasn't" Knuckles smirked, taking the sword from Rouge's hand, giving the guard a swift punch in the face; for good measures, before running the blade threw the guard's heart, killing him instantly.

Rouge couldn't help but giggle. "Thanks Knuckie, my hero!" She giggled again and kissed his cheek. Knuckles' muzzle heated instantly.
