I awoke in my bedroom that Scourge had assigned me to. It was nothing fancy like his room or the other Destructix old rooms, just a single bed, small closet and a mirror.
I brushed my hair and looked at the maid outfit in the mirror, sighed.
'I cant believe I have to wear this. If Scar and Scratch saw me now, id never hear the end of it.' I thought, walking out. Scar and Scratch were male, twin echidnas. Scar was a dark purple with black gloves, black and grey boots, hazel eyes and a black four leaf clover tattoo on his shoulder. His brother Scratch was a regular purple echidna with grey gloves, regular black boots, hazel eyes as well and a green clover tattoo on his shoulder. The tats were the only thing I could use to tell them apart, unless they wear a shirt.
Anyways, they were my best friends, always there for me when my clan was against me and I didnt have any parents since my dad died not long ago. I could really use those two jokesters now considering my life officially sucked.
"Hey Arc." Sonic said, stretching his arms as he had just gotten up.
"Hey Sonic." I said, stepping onto a chair to dust the table with my tails. "Hey um...I never asked yesterday but...how do you know Scourge?" I asked.
"Better than Fiona does, considering im his anti. But yeah, I know a lot and can answer whateva ya wanna know." Sonic said, sitting in another chair that wasnt broken like the rest of the castle.
"Well...has he always been like this? I mean, your so sweet and nice, a hero..and he's so..." I said, shaking my head.
"Evil? Nasty? Bully?" Sonic suggested as I giggled.
"Yes. But just tell me how you two know one another, cause my dad told me antis and primes dont normally clash into each other that often." I asked, hopping down from the table.
"Theres not a lot when we first met, he was just a blue faker of mine covered in leather. He was a strong enemy to beat after he absorbed energy from the Master Emerald, making his colors opposite of mine." He said "I noticed that the other day, I just didnt say anything." I said.
"Anyways, he stole my girlfriend Fiona and they've been together ever since, except why he doesnt marry her is a mystery." He said.
"Oh..guess he runs away from commitment." I said, making him chuckle.
"Yep, and from girls he cheated on." He said, smirking. I smiled at him and walked around a bit, looking at the castle wreckage and wondered how it got there. Thats when I saw Scourge just watching tv in his room, amazing electricity was available here, although the lights work too.
"You need something?" He asked, I didnt even see him move his head at me, like he didnt care.
"N-no." I said, walking ahead until his words stopped me.
"You dont have to wear that anymore ya know." Scourge said.
"But I thought-" I started.
"Nevermind why, just do it before I change my mind." He said, making me smile.
'Finally.' I thought, running off.
Except I left out one thing, I didnt have any clothes with me, I was practically naked when Scourge bought me if it werent for my tails covering me. Though by some luck, I came across an old purple top with the sleeves torn, black shorts, blue and black short, high heel boots and a ice blue, knit beanie that looked pretty cute on me.
"Yep, this'll do." I said, walking off down a hall.
Sonic looked over and whistled.
"Nice Arc, blue looks good on anyone." He said, chuckling while I smiled.
"Thanks." I said, sitting on the table when there was a pounding at the door. "Wonder who that is." I muttered, about to get up when Scourge walked out.
"Sit." He said, making his way to the door. "What the hell are-Ah!" He yelled, then there was a thud and the door slammed shut.
"What the heck just happened?" Sonic mutted.
"I dont know." I whispered, so confused. "Scourge?" I called out. No answer. "Scourge, this isnt funny!" I yelled, getting up and stomping to the front door to find it empty and quiet.
Now a normal mobian, robian, whatever, would be confused as to who would kidnap him, like Fiona for example. Except my big ears were not only cute, but like my sister, they were sensitive. Enough for me to hear a car door slam outside and hear voices.
"I told you to let it go." A male that sounded like Sonic said.
"Doesnt matter, since no one was there, no one knows he's gone." A man who sounded like Eggman said. They drove the car with Scourge handcuffed in the back with an inhibitor collar locked on.
'Great, now he's going to prison, again apparently. And Fiona is still days away from coming back. No matter, I cant just barge in there alone, if I do, I risk being taken back to jail if they catch me. So I guess I have to wait, but when I go in there, im gonna make sure I leave with him alive.' I thought.
I had no idea where this commitment came from, maybe it was because he was somewhat nicer than yesterday, or because I failed to save my mom from Mephiles or my sister being taken away, but I knew I couldnt let him down.
