Chapter 4: Reminiscing the Memories
Guess who's back!
Shadow: This story is really violent and dark compared to your other ones
Yes, yes I know xD But anyway on with the story
Amy walked through the rose bed in the backyard of Sticks' house, she took a quick sniff at one of the red roses and added water on them.
"Still love tending gardens I see" Sticks said walking towards the patio with a jug of lemonade, some chocolate chip cookies, and croissants.
"Oh yes I love feeling the petals of the roses between my fingers" Amy stared sadly at the rose bed.
"Look Amy I know you miss tending gardens with your mom"
"She had such a beautiful garden that she took care of really well, too bad stupid BOB had to destroy it all" Amy glared angrily at a distance remembering clearly how he used a chainsaw to destroy his mother's roses.
"Bob is such an inconsiderate jerk, he mistreats you, hurts, you, heck he even stares at you when your changing, UGH, I don't know why you don't just move out, you're 18!"
"Are you kidding, Bob would kill me if I did, besides where would I go"
"Here! We can be roommates, we work at the bakery don't we? We can just both pitch in for the rent and we'd live happily, no Bob whatsoever"
"Bob would know that I came here and he'd kill both of us, and I don't want you getting involved in any of my domestic problems"
"Are you kidding? I'm already as involved as it is" Sticks rolled her eyes while taking a cookie.
"Come and eat, we start work in a while" Sticks motioned for Amy to come over while Amy obliged.
After eating they both headed towards Cyril's Bakery and worked their shift, unaware of what was outside.
The door to the bakery opened and an individual walked in looking through his surroundings.
"Amy can you take that young man's order?" Cyril asked Amy while Amy nodded and headed toward the counter.
"Hello I am Amy Rose and I will be serving you tonight, what would you like?" Amy asked as she stared down at her notepad.
"Some baguettes and croissants to go" the individual stated while Amy wrote down in her notepad.
"Anything else?" Amy said while looking up and widened her eyes at the sight.
He was the most handsome hedgehog she had ever seen, his blue fur matched his caramel skin color, his emerald eyes looking down at the menu.
"No that's all" Sonic said as he looked up at Amy suddenly taken aback at how beautiful she was, her pink quills pulled up to a pony tail, her waitress outfit showed her curves, her jade eyes shining, he tried really hard to not pounce on her and bite her. Something about her intrigued him, it was the same feeling he felt when he bit his 23 workers.
Sonic was a Negativity Detecting Vampire, he can detect if someone is having a miserable life and he somehow feels the urge to bite those people, Tails says that's a good thing because by Sonic turning those individuals into vampires, he takes them away from their misery, but Sonic doesn't buy it. So he vowed not to bite a mortal again.
Sonic had to get out of there before he lost his self control so he looked back down as he stated, "And make it quick!"
Amy was taken aback by his sudden outburst. Well someone's a little grumpy today. She thought as she walked back to the kitchen.
"Sooo I saw you talking to that cutie over there" Sticks said as Amy walked up to her grabbing his order.
"But he's a total jerk" Amy replied as she put Sonic's order in a bag.
"How so?"
"He totally rushed me he was like 'and make it quick'" Amy said mimicking Sonic.
"*sigh* It's a shame that people with such good looks throw them away with such ugly personalities"
"Yeah" Amy muttered while heading over to Sonic and handing him his order.
Sonic grabbed the paperbags and walked out the door without saying a word.
"Your welcome?" Amy stated, annoyed at his behavior.
"Amy your cellphone is ringing!" Sticks yelled. (A/N: Yes people I did my research, there were cellphones in the 80's)
"Hello?" Amy asked when she received it.
"Where the hell are you?"
Amy rolled her eyes, can't Bob leave me alone for a couple of hours.
"You told me to leave, remember?"
"I never said such thing!"
"Yes you did, you told me to leave the house cause Wendy was coming" Amy mocked.
"Are you calling me a liar!?"
Amy groaned, might as well go along with it.
"No Bob, forget I said that, your right you never said such thing I'm just distracted cause I'm at work at the moment"
"I thought so. And since when do you work!?" Bob yelled.
"Since 3 years ago? I'm the one who's been paying the rent?"
"Well get your butt home now!"
"Isn't Wendy going to be there"
"She's not coming and I'm bored and I'm excited at the moment and I need to let it out"
Amy scrunched her nose in disgust, oh he did not, gross. Amy looked over at Sticks giving her a disgusted face towards the phone.
Sticks' eyes widened, understanding the message.
"Give me that thing!" Sticks yelled as she took away the cellphone from Amy.
"GO TO HELL" Sticks yelled as she hung up. "You are NOT going home!" Sticks yelled.
"I know I know" Amy said as she laughed at Sticks' outburst.
"But you do know the beating that's in store for me when I get home right" Amy sadly stated.
"Don't go home then Amy stay with me, you know your welcome at my home"
Amy smiled at Sticks eventually hearing the bell signifying that their shift was over.
"Tell you what, it's not late why don't we visit your mom now?" Sticks asked receiving a quick nod from Amy.
"Let's go then!"
Sticks and Amy both walked out of the bakery unaware that a certain pair of emerald eyes were watching them.
Sonic had heard Amy's entire phone conversation thanks to his sensitive hearing.
"That Bob guy doesn't sound very pleasant to say the least, I wonder who he is, and how he knows that pink hedgehog" Sonic asked himself quietly.
"I need to keep an eye on that girl, but now I need to get back to the castle, dinners ready in 10 minutes." and with that Sonic was off.
Père Lachaise Cemetery
Sticks and Amy took a little walk until they arrived in front of Angela's grave, they had stopped by the flower shop to get Angela a bouquet of roses, her favorite type of flower.
Angela Rose
(1945-1975)
Gone too soon and shall be missed.
"I love you mom" Love Amy...
Rest in Peace..
Sticks and Amy stood there in silence reminiscing the memories of Angela.
Suddenly they noticed an elderly man on the other side of the graveyard, he was holding a cane and looked like he could barely walk.
He was silently looking down at a gravestone.
"Look Sticks it's that man again"
"I know he's always coming to the graveyard, I don't think he misses a day"
"That's kinda weird though"
"Not really, they say he's the oldest man in France, like over 100 years old"
"You can live that long!?"
"Apparently he can" Sticks said, "Maybe that's why he's always dropping by, to see the ancestors he's already lost, I mean I don't want to be rude but being that old could mean that he could be lonely in life right now"
"Aww how sad"
"Yeah but what's really weird is that he's always coming to look at that gravestone, I never see him looking at any other one"
"Probably his wife, or a sibling, or a parent" Amy answered still staring at the man.
The man finally looked up, and began walking away from the gravestone and towards the exit.
"C'mon Sticks let's go" Amy said walking towards the area where the man was.
"Amy where are you going?"
"Well if he's so fond of the person who lies there I gotta know who that person is"
"Wait for me then!" Sticks answered as she followed Amy.
Once they arrived at the gravestone, they curiously looked at the words plastered there.
Sonic the Hedgehog
(1869-1876)
Gone mysteriously, but loved eternally.
His adventurous spirit would brighten every room he entered.
His positive attitude admired by several peers.
Aleena and Jules loved him dearly.
Rest In Peace
"Awwww this boy died at just 7 years old!" Amy sadly stated oddly interested in the boy.
"What a tragedy, and that was such a long time ago"
"110 years ago.. but what could that elderly man have to do with him?"
"No idea, but we better get going, it's getting late and I'm pretty sure you don't wanna be here at nighttime"
"Yeah we should" Amy said giving a last glance at the grave and continuing walking"
"Ughhhh do I have to!?" Sonic groaned as Tails reminded him of the Pre-Ball Masters Meeting coming up.
"Yes Sonic, don't you remember attending them when the other vampires would host the Ghouls Ball?" Tails asked receiving a 'really' look from Sonic.
"Oh yeah, you never attended them, I forgot" Tails responded scratching the back of his head.
Sonic rolled his eyes as he walked over to the kitchen.
"Someone order any bread?" Sonic asked placing the croissants and baguettes on the table.
"Mortal bread?" Blaze asked as she tenderly held a baguette.
"Take a bite, I'm sure it's been a long time" Sonic told her, Blaze soon following by taking a piece and biting it.
"Wow it's so soft and so warm" Blaze smiled, her eyes glowing in fascination at how good it tasted.
Sonic gave an indifferent face on the outside but on the inside it warmed his heart seeing Blaze so happy.
I should bring them things from the mortal world more often, maybe that way I can somehow make it up to them for taking away their normal lives.
"Thank you master Sonic" Blaze smiled.
"Meh, it was nothin" Sonic shrugged. "But I have an announcement to make! The Pre-Ball Masters Meeting is coming up and we all need to look fresh for the occasion, so starting tomorrow we will be going on a hunt for blood" Sonic said receiving wide eyes from his workers.
"Not from people you silly vampires, from chaos" Sonic rolled his eyes at his servants' misunderstanding.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh" everyone said relieved that their master hasn't gone back to his old ways.
"We start tomorrow afternoon, I will be going on another trip to the mortal world tomorrow morning so I hope there's no trouble" Sonic said looking over at Charmy.
"That was only once!" Charmy groaned receiving a pat in the back by Espio.
After dinner Sonic and Tails walked up to their room.
"So how was your trip?"
"Odd"
"Odd? Why did something happen"
"No, it's just, I saw this girl, the waitress that gave me the bread and I felt that... need again"
"You didn't bite her did you!?"
"No, of course not I held it in, but there's just something about her that caught my eye"
"Was she pretty?"
"Beautiful" Sonic said looking at Tails but immediately realized what he said when Tails gave him an evil glare.
"Don't start getting ideas Miles"
"Ugh you know I don't like it when you call me that!"
"*cough* Miles *cough*"
"Whatever, so what are your plans?"
"I don't know, something tells me I should keep an eye on her"
"Well that's your decision buddy, just don't bite her"
"I won't I vowed that I wouldn't"
"Do you at least know her name?"
Sonic looked over at Tails and answered, "Amy... Amy Rose.."
