Well let's begin!
1 Week Later
Amy and Sticks walked over to Antoine's cottage after a long day of work, something they have been doing very often.
Antoine had quickly become a close friend of theirs, they loved talking to him, and they never wasted an opportunity to drop by and say hello.
"And then Cyril said, Sticks your burning the bread! and then I swear I ran as fast as Speedy Gonzalez to get that chizz out of the oven" Sticks laughed as she and Amy told Antoine of their adventure at work today.
Antoine laughed as well, he loved listening to these girls, little by little they were winning his trust and they didn't know it but they were giving him meaning to his life as well.
"Did your boss get mad?"
"Nahhhh she knows I'm always getting into trouble"
"Yeah just like in high school, remember Madame Rotwiler" Amy laughed.
"Ugh don't remind me of that crazy lady, 'Sticks turn your card, Sticks turn your card' ugh"
"At least you kids didn't have to deal with what I had to deal with as a kid, I used to have this teacher named Madame Rouault and she would ALWAYS be hitting me and Sonic on our hands with the ruler when we would misbehave"
"Did it hurt!?" Amy asked.
"Of course, it was like if those teachers joined martial arts classes or something, they were tough!"
"You should've Sticks Chopped her EEEYAH" Sticks said as she karate chopped her bag.
"Sticks there's no such thing as a Sticks Chop" Amy rolled her eyes.
"Psh there should be" Sticks said as Antoine laughed.
"Hey I forgot to ask, I always saw you two around the cemetery is there a reason why?" Antoine asked as Sticks looked at Amy.
"*sigh* My mom died when I was 7 and she was buried here" Amy said as her ears drooped down.
"Oh I'm so sorry, what was her name?"
"Angela, Angela Rose"
"Angela Rose? *gasp* you mean The Angela Rose!?"
"Yeah"
"No wonder you looked so familiar to me Amy you look just like your mother"
"You knew her?"
"Of course! I used to baby sit her in the day care your grandmother left her in when she was at work, she was a very sweet little girl and we never lost connection"
"Oh my god! That's great! It makes me so happy at the fact that you knew her!"
"Yeah and how's William?"
"William?"
"Yeah, you know, your father"
Amy's eyes widened, "Wait what?"
"William isn't with you anymore?"
"My father is named Bob" Amy confusingly said as she and Sticks shared a confused glance.
"Oh then I must be thinking about a different family sorry I'm old heh, but I did know your mother and she is a wonderful person"
"Yeah I agree" Amy said smiling at the memory of her mom.
"Speaking of memories, what's up with that black rose you left Sonic that other day in his memorial? I was kinda confused about that too" Sticks asked.
"It's hard to explain, but let's just say that it's a symbol of his memory... when he died... he had this black rose on the palm of his hand. I don't know how he got a hold of it but it must foreshadow something. Another ambiguous mystery I need to figure out..." Antoine said as he tried to prepare some tea.
"Oh dear I forgot to pick up some tea packets from the grocery store!"
"I'll get them if you want" Amy said.
"That would be lovely, I just hope it's not much of a bother"
"Not at all, the grocery store is right across the street anyway. Sticks, stay here and accompany Monsieur Depardieu will you?"
"Roger that captain" Sticks said saluting to Amy.
Amy walked out of the cottage and walked towards the grocery store, she thought about of what Antoine had said about her father.
I wonder what that was all about.
Amy's thoughts we soon interrupted when she had bumped into someone.
She looked up seeing an all too familiar blue hedgehog standing over her.
"You again?" Sonic asked obviously annoyed.
"Well I'M sorry YOUR MAJESTY I should've watched where I was going!"
"Now we're seeing eye to eye, now move I got places to get to" Sonic rolled his eyes.
"Woah why are you in such a hurry?" Amy asked raising an eyebrow at Sonic.
"It's NONE of your business!" Sonic snapped causing Amy to take a step back.
"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, you may step out of the door YOUR MAJESTY!" Amy mocked as she directed to the door.
"I will once you tell me why YOUR here" Sonic said.
"I'm hear to pick up some tea packets for a friend of mine"
"Friend? What friend exactly"
"It's NONE of your business" Amy mocked in a high pitched voice.
Sonic rolled his eyes and muttered something that sounded like Touché as he grabbed his groceries and walked outside, knocking down Amy's bag on the way out.
Amy scoffed at his rude attitude and grabbed Antoine's tea packets, paid and walked back to the cottage/
As Amy walked into the cottage she muttered, "Good for nothing no good jerk!"
Antoine and Sticks looked up from their game of Go Fish and looked confusingly at Amy.
"Is something the matter Amy?" Antoine asked.
"Nothing much but just guess who I ran into AGAIN"
"THAT BLUE HEDGEHOG!?" Sticks asked remembering of how Amy had told her of their past encounter.
"Ugh yes!" Amy said as she heated up the water for tea.
"Pardon? I think I've missed something"
"It's just that Amy has a huge crush on this handsome blue hedgehog she met last week" Sticks laughed.
"DO NOT! He's a disgrace to hedgehog kind"
"Blue hedgehog?" Antoine asked a little suspiciously.
"Yeah he's this tall blue hedgehog with green emerald eyes.."
"But with the nastiest personality ever" Amy finished Sticks' description as she poured tea in three cups.
It couldn't be him... no... he died 110 years ago...
"Monsieur Depardieu, are you alright?" Sticks asked.
"Yes of course" Antoine said being interrupted from his thoughts.
"You'll be much better with this cup of tea" Amy said giving him his tea.
Amy leaned against the wall and accidently dropped a photo album.
"Oops I'm sorry"
"It's alright they're just a couple of photos" Antoine said as he looked at the photos.
Suddenly Antoine widened his eyes at a certain photo.
"What's wrong!?" Amy asked receiving only wide eyes from Antoine.
"Cream hurry bring me a spoon!" Fiona ordered as Cream quickly got a spoon and handed it to Fiona.
Fiona tasted the soup they were cooking and cringed at the taste.
"Bleugh this needs more salt!"
"We're all out, Master Sonic went to go get more" Cream said.
Today was the all famous Pre-Ball Masters Meeting, everyone in the castle were running up and down trying to get ready for the occasion.
Sonic had gone to the grocery store to get the finishing ingredients for the maids to cook their food.
"Ugh where is he!? We're running out of time! Scourge and the other masters are gonna get here soon!"
"I'm right here Fiona" Sonic said as he walked in with his groceries.
"Oh thank goodness!" Rouge said as she got the tomatoes from the bags and began washing them.
"Thank you so much for bringing the groceries Sonic" Fiona said twirling her hair at him.
Sonic nodded and looked over at Blaze, oblivious of Fiona's attempts to seduce him.
"Where are the boys?"
"Outside, Tails is in the garden" Blaze responded.
Sonic nodded and walked outside leaving Fiona stomping her foot on the floor while Mina and Blaze laughed at her.
"What are you two clowns laughin' at GET TO WORK" Fiona yelled as Blaze and Mina began making the side dishes, still giggling at what had happened.
Sonic walked outside and noticed Tails observing the Blackshade carefully.
"They're beautiful huh Tails?" Sonic asked waking Tails from his thoughts.
"Oh your back Sonic! I was just observing your Blackshade garden, it is a beauty"
Sonic stooped down and touched one of the Blackshade carefully and softly pressed on its petals.
"Sonic why are black roses so important to you? And why did you name them Blackshade?"
Sonic looked over at Tails and answered, "Blackshade rescued me Tails... from death."
Tails was on the verge of asking how that could be but was interrupted when Charmy announced that the masters were here.
"Showtime" Sonic said as he walked toward the castle.
Tails glanced at the Blackshade once more before soon trailing behind Sonic.
All the maids and guards had lined up in their normal lines as Sonic opened the door and welcomed the masters one by one.
"Sonic I see your nervous breakdown has calmed this past week" Scourge stated with a smug smile while Sonic angrily looked at him.
"Oooooo don't go loco and start crying on me now just because I brought up your pathetic past life now"
Sonic charged toward Scourge but Knuckles and Tails held him back.
Scourge laughed evilly as he walked toward the meeting room.
"Sonic, remember, he's not worth it!" Tails said as Sonic soon followed the masters.
"Get into your positions and don't embarrass me!" Sonic said as he looked over at Charmy and Knuckles, who were put on a strict diet of blood and bread after their stunt pulled a week ago.
Charmy and Knuckles gladly took that punishment with no objections, after the amount of damage they had caused, they were surprised that Sonic hadn't given them a much more severe punishment. But everyone knew Sonic didn't have a cruel heart to punish them physically. Sonic had NEVER laid a hand on them, no matter how many mistakes they made, that's why they knew they were blessed to have a master with a good heart like Sonic, despite his temper.
Charmy and Knuckles nodded as Sonic walked in the meeting room and greeted the vampires by telling them how great it was to see them.
"Sonic, how have you been?" Master Pickle asked as Sonic shrugged and said "The usual"
"How well have your servants been behaving?" Master Mephiles asked, earning a loud snort from Scourge.
"Yeah Sonic tell him how WELL your servants have been behaving" Scourge stated.
"Does he ever learn how to shut up?" Shadow whispered as the servants were looking at the scene going in inside.
"Way to throw us under the bus Master Scourge" Charmy said as he rolled his eyes.
"Well it serves you two right for getting what's not yours" Fiona said as she crossed her arms.
"I would like to say the same thing to you Fiona, stop trying to get at Master Sonic, he ain't yours" Knuckles said receiving several giggles from the servants and a high five from Rouge.
Fiona scoffed as she looked through the window again.
"My servants are behaving well, although they do have their flaws they are always behaving. Couldn't have asked for a better crew" Sonic said as he looked toward Scourge who rolled his eyes.
"I agree, but I feel like you have such a small group, I feel like you should recruit more servants" Mater Pickle said.
"I'm sorry Master Pickle but I refuse to bite another mortal"
"Well alright, it's your decision" Master Pickle said as he grabbed a small sandwich from the plate Cream had brought in.
"More blood sir?" Cream asked as she was holding on a jar full of blood.
"Yes please" Master Pickle said as Cream poured some in his cup.
"Thank you sweety" Master Pickle said as Cream walked towards the rest of the vampires.
"So Sonic and Scourge, a little birdy told me you two got into a little mishap last week" Master Snively said as Master Pickle looked suspiciously at the two youngest vampire masters.
"Oh we got into a mishap alright and you can ask Sonic's AMAZING servants what occurred" Scourge said.
"Sonic?"
"Two of my servants unintendedly drank the blood of 5 chaos from Scourge's chao garden, it wasn't done purposely of course"
Scourge scoffed and rolled his eyes as he drank the blood Cream served him.
"Sonic, Scourge I understand you two are young, heck you two are the youngest vampires who have the position of a master in the whole world. But you two need to make wiser choices, I'm the oldest vampire in the world and I should know. What kind of influence are you two giving your servants? I thought YOU were smarter than that Sonic" Master Pickle stated.
Sonic looked down, he HATED disappointing Master Pickle, he was like a second father to him, he was there for Sonic when he had barely woken up from his 50 year slumber, he trained Sonic to be where he was now.
"Excuse me old man, what about me?" Scourge asked.
"You I understand Scourge, your always running into unnecessary trouble" Master Pickle said as Scourge scoffed and crossed his arms.
"Look I understand the favoritism you have towards Sonic but that doesn't mean you should be calling him the smarter one!" Scourge said.
"This is exactly what I'm talking about Scourge, you need to lower that jealousy you have toward Sonic, it will only lead you toward tragedy in the future"
"JEALOUSY!? WHAT'S THERE TO BE JEALOUS ABOUT! I'M BETTER THAN SONIC! I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND I ALWAYS WILL BE! AND I WILL PROVE IT TO YOU ALL ONE DAY" Scourge yelled fuming with anger as Sonic stared at him indifferently and Master Pickle frowned at him.
Master Pickle sighed, "Let's change the subject, Master Big, how have you been?"
"I recently realized that I could tell the future" Master Big said.
"Really? Why don't you show us?" Master Pickle said.
"Gladly but I want to experiment on one of the youngsters here, volunteers?" Master Big said as he glanced at Sonic and Scourge.
Scourge pushed Sonic towards Master Big and stated, "Sonic told me that he wanted to do it"
Sonic turned and gave Scourge a death glare as Master Big grabbed Sonic's palm.
Master Big closed his eyes and envisioned Sonic's future.
"I see.. a girl... a very beautiful girl"
Sonic looked confusingly at Master Big and listened intently at what he was saying.
"Love... I see you Sonic the Hedgehog... falling in love..." Master Big stated as Sonic let got of Master Big's grasp.
Scourge suddenly burst out laughing and curled on the floor.
"Sonic the Hedgehog falling in love, GET REAL!" Scourge said but soon stopped as Master Pickle glared at him.
"Your turn Mr. Laugh a lot" Master Pickle said as he pushed Scourge toward Big with a light push.
Master Big grabbed Scourge's palm and closes his eyes.
"Failure..."
Scourge looked shockingly at Master Big.
"And... DEATH!" Master Big widened his eyes as he looked at Scourge shockingly.
"Failure and death? BULLCRAP! YOU SAID THAT ON PURPOSE!" Scourge yelled as he walked toward the window.
"Scourge where are you going!?" Master Pickle asked.
"OUT OF THIS HELLHOLE OF HUMILIATION! SEE YOU ALL AT THE BALL!" Scourge said as he flew out the window.
Sonic stared at the scene but was too distracted to say anything because of what Master Big had told him.
Falling in love...
"What's wrong Monsieur Depardieu?" Amy asked as Antoine stared at her shockingly.
"Amy..."
"Bob... is not your father..."
OOOOOOO another cliffhanger!
Shadow: Ugh
Well stay tuned for Chapter 8 of Blackshade and DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW PLEASE! YOUR INPUT INSPIRES ME TO KEEP GOING!
Shadow: Do it!
