Blackshade
Chapter 9: Fitting In
WOO WE HIT THAT 30!
Shadow: Nice! You all get a virtual cookie with my face on it ;)
Me: Ewwww -.-t but anyway let's begin because I'm pretty sure you all wanna know what happened cx
Darkness...
That's all Amy saw, she didn't know where to go, she didn't know how to escape it...
There was no light.
She felt lost.
What happened to her...
Suddenly she saw late and walked towards it, little by little and next thing you know...
She saw the bright sunlight in her face.
Amy opened her eyes slowly and looked at her surroundings.
Was what happened a dream?
She looked at her arm and saw a scar there, nope it definitely wasn't a dream.
Where was she though?
It was a huge room, 10x the size of her and Sticks' rooms combined.
Where was Sticks anyway?
And Antoine?
And... Bob...
Amy shivered and grabbed her head at the memory, she widened her eyes and began shaking.
WHAT IF BOB BROUGHT HER HERE AND WAITED FOR HER TO AWAKEN SO THAT HE CAN FINISH THE JOB!
But then Amy stopped and thought to herself..
Wait... why didn't Bob finish the job?
Suddenly her fear returned as she remembered the blue hedgehog.
HAD HE BROUGHT HER HERE!?
"You've awaken."
Amy swiftly turned as she saw a yellow fox walking into the room.
"W-who are you!?" Amy said curling up on the bed.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to startle you, and I definitely don't want to hurt you"
"You don't?"
"Of course not" the yellow fox offered her a smile that was so heartwarming she relaxed her shoulders.
"By the way my name is Miles "Tails" Prower, but everyone call me Tails. You must be the famous Amy Rose" Tails extended his hand as Amy shook it.
"How do you know my name? Where am I?" Amy asked.
"I know you have lots of questions but that it isn't my place to answer them" Tails said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Then who is?"
Suddenly the door slowly opened and a certain blue hedgehog walked in the room.
"Tails there you are I was.. oh... your awake"
Amy suddenly got up from the bed and stood up in fighting position.
"DON'T COME NEAR ME! I KNOW KARATE!" Amy said as she karate chopped the air.
Sonic rolled his eyes and stated, "Wow Rose I save your life and this is how you thank me?"
"Huh?" Amy asked.
"For all I know I could've turned you into a vampire" Sonic said as he pointed to her neck. "But I didn't."
Amy touched her neck gently, nope, no bite marks. She was still a mortal.
"But... why? How... When..." Amy was interrupted as Sonic put his hand up.
"Let me explain, yes I indeed am a vampire, I've been one for the past century. Ever since I met you I've been keeping an eye on you since I figured it would be necessary in the future. Vampires just get that feeling you know, especially me since I'm a Guardian Vampire, I protect mortals from their miserable lives. Your lucky I was around town during one of your domestic outrages or else you'd be dead right now. You fell unconscious before I could explain everything to you" Sonic said receiving a shocking glare from Amy.
"Wait so vampires... exist!?"
Sonic rolled his eyes once again at that statement, "No Amy I just decided to go to the Halloween store to get some plastic fangs and some red contacts just to scare your step father"
Tails snorted receiving a confused look from Amy.
"Sorry that was just really funny" Tails scratched the back of his head again.
Amy looked back at Sonic and asked, "Did you kill Bob?"
"No matter how much that pig deserves it no I didn't at this moment he's probably running around telling the police he saw a vampire"
"Well if your saying that you were keeping an eye on me why didn't you just drop me off at Sticks' house after I fell unconscious. You probably know who she is at this point"
"Your little badger friend? Sorry no can do"
"What do you mean?"
"I can't let you go back to the mortal world"
"WAIT WHAT!?" Amy shockingly said.
"It's suicide Amy, it's not safe, think about it. If I would've taken you to your friend's house don't you think Bob would look for you there first?"
Amy thought to herself, it was true, Bob would be looking for her there.
"Not only would he kill you but he'd also kill your friend for hiding you in the first place. Second of all, you'd be causing unnecessary mayhem around the world. If the police gets to reports about vampires, they will get suspicious and our cover would be blown. All the vampires will come after me because that's the number 1 rule. Never let a mortal see you unless you bite them. Also, if the vampires found out that I brought a mortal into the castle double the trouble. I don't want to risk anything just because I chose to save your life so you better not try escaping or anything. Your stuck here from now on."
"But won't the vampires sniff me from wherever they are, I don't know if that's true though, I read it in a book"
"Tails here took care of that, he injected you with an anecdote that gives you the scent of a vampire"
"But what about my life in Paris, what about my job? And my friends?"
"I called Cyril's Bakery this morning announcing your early retirement and what not" Tails mentioned as he pointed to a payphone in the streets of Paris.
"And Sticks? Let's not forget my new friend Antoine..." Amy said as Sonic looked up from fiddling with his fingers.
"Antoine?" Sonic asked suspiciously as Tails widened his eyes.
"Yes Antoine, he's a new friend I made not too long ago. Sticks and I always visit him. If he finds out I disappeared he's going to blame it on himself because he was the one who revealed to me that Bob was not my real father"
Sonic stared blankly at Amy.
Could it be... no... at this rate Antoine probably already died...
"Well I'm sorry to announce that you won't be seeing them anymore, I'm sorry, but it's for the safety of all of us"
Amy sadly looked at Sonic and looked down.
"Who are you?" Amy whispered.
Sonic and Tails shared a look and looked back at Amy.
"I know I asked you this a long time ago... and you said I wasn't worthy of knowing your name. But now I don't think it matters if I'm worthy or not, since I'm going to be living with you I have the RIGHT to know. What is your name?" Amy looked at Sonic as he smirked softly.
"My name... is Sonic the Hedgehog. The master of this castle."
Amy suddenly fell back from her bed and fell on the floor.
"Are you okay?" Tails asked as he helped her up.
"Sonic! That's your name!" Amy said as she widened her eyes.
"Yeah? Why is there a problem?" Sonic asked as he looked at Amy with narrowed eyes, she knew something.
Amy began recalling a description of how Antoine described his best friend.
"Alright, well let's see, Sonic was an amazing person, very free spirited, he had an amazing personality, he was daring. Some of my most funnest moments happened because of him. His eyes, those emerald green eyes, always shining with happiness. I remember it clearly, he loved life. He was never in a bad mood and made sure to keep your frown upside down."
Amy looked at Sonic's eyes... emerald green.
But it couldn't be him, his eyes didn't shine. And his personality was the total opposite of how Antoine described him.
Maybe it was just a coincidence, there's probably several Sonic's out there in the world.
"Nothing" Amy responded. "Just ignore me heh" Amy sheepishly said as Sonic looked at Tails.
"Tell her the job that she will be doing from now on" Sonic said and with that he walked out of the room.
"Okay so from now on you will be working as one of the maids of the castle, don't worry all the other maids are nice... well... most of them are" Tails said.
"I know this life will be hard to adapt you and I know your going to miss your friends but think about it, although he'll never say it or think it since he's the most modest vampire in the world. But you kinda owe it to him, he saved your life and brought you here heck he even brought your suitcase" Tails said as Amy turned and there it was her giant pink suitcase.
"I'm sorry it had to come to this but y'know your lucky you got intertwined with us, we're not mortal hunters. We're all against the biting of human kind, now if you would've gotten intertwined with someone like Scourge, who by the way you'll meet sooner or later, then you'd be screwed." Tails said as he set Amy's maid outfit on her bed.
"This will be your room, feel free to ask me questions if you need anything. We're here for you Amy, come downstairs when you've changed so the maids can give you a tour around the place" Tails said as he gave her the same exact heart warming smile from before.
Amy nodded as Tails ordered her to change and walked out of the room.
And she was left alone again.
She couldn't cry.
She couldn't get angry.
She hated to say it, but she was in a way, grateful that Sonic had brought her where she was.
She was going to miss Sticks and Antoine though, hopefully they don't become too frightened.
Amy suddenly looked at herself in the mirror for the first time in days and realized how horrible she looked.
Her nose had a bruise on it while her arms were filled with cuts as well as her thighs.
She changed into her maids suit and thanked Chaos that it had sleeves.
She had to admit she looked good in the maid suit.
It hugged her curves really well and it covered all her cuts.
Amy shivered at the thought of Bob and continued doing her hair.
She tied her hair up in a ponytail and put on her flats and used some of her make up to cover the bruise on her nose.
You know for finding out that her father was actually not her father, almost getting raped by him, and being saved by a creature she thought was a myth, she was oddly taking it well...
Amy shrugged her thoughts off and focused on the present and continued applying the make up.
Once she felt satisfied, she slowly walked out of the door.
She walked down the stairs slowly as she heard a conversation going on below.
"I want all of you to make her feel as much as home as possible, I already told you what she's been through and I don't want her reminiscing that" she heard Sonic say to probably all the others living in the area.
"Master Sonic I still don't think this is a good idea" she heard a female say. "She could betray us."
"Fiona please." she heard another female voice say.
"I'm just saying for the good of the castle Blaze!"
Castle? Was she really in a castle...
Amy's thoughts were interrupted when she finally stepped down all the stairs and noticed about 23 individuals staring at her.
She shifted uncomfortable in her spot as she awkwardly waved at everyone.
No one waved back except for a little girl who seemed to be a rabbit smiled sweetly and waved at her back.
"Hello you must be Amy, I'm Cream the Rabbit, and I feel like we're going to be good friends" Cream said as she walked up to her and hugged her.
Amy's heart automatically softened as she hugged her back, yes, yes they were.
"Amy you came down! Let me present to you everyone here." Tails said.
"I'm Tails as you probably know and here are the guys, Knuckles, Silver, Shadow, Vector, Charmy, Espio, Mighty, Jet, Storm, Rotor, and Omega. For the girls they are, Cream, Rouge, Blaze, Mina, Fiona, Maria, Tikal, Wave, Bunnie, Cosmo, and Marine."
Everyone said hi and waved at her except for the fox who just crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
"Amy from now on you will be taking orders from Fiona the head of the maids, Fiona come here" Sonic said as the fox walked up to him.
"Make sure you obey her every order because if you don't there WILL be problems huh Charmy and Knuckles" Sonic said as he glanced at the two troublemakers.
"Charmy is a bad influence don't pin it on me!" Knuckles yelled.
"Me!?" Charmy yelled.
"Yeah! Remember how you let all the bats out that one time!" Vector said.
"How many times do I have to tell y'all THAT. WAS. ONLY. ONCE!" Charmy yelled but shut his mouth once Sonic glared at him.
"I won't be tolerating any acts of indiscipline, any horrible thing you do will lead to serious punishment" Sonic said as he looked from Charmy to Amy.
"Am I making myself clear?" Sonic asked her.
Amy nodded.
"Your supposed to answer 'yes master'" Fiona corrected her 'nicely' while rolling her eyes.
"Yes master" Amy whispered as she looked down nervously.
Sonic nodded as he began walking toward the staircase.
"You may now begin with your regular tasks, Fiona, please guide Amy" Sonic said as he and Tails walked back up the stairs.
"Yes master, your wish is my command" Fiona said with a bow while hearing a scoff from Blaze.
When Sonic was out of sight and the boys had gone back to their positions Rouge walked in front of all the maids and put her hand on her hip and mimicked, "Yes master, your wish is my command" Rouge mocked as Blaze and Mina burst out laughing.
"Hardy har har laugh all you want you clowns but it's obvi that Master Sonic is going to ask me to be his girl any time sooner" Fiona said as Mina, Blaze, and Rouge laughed harder.
"The day that happens will be the day we all turn back into mortals" Blaze laughed.
"But Miss. Blaze we can't turn back into mortals" Cream said.
"Exactly, Cream, exactly" Blaze said as the three girls laughed harder.
"ONE MORE SNORT COMING FROM THE THREE OF YOU AND SONIC IS GONNA GET A REPORT ON THIS!" Fiona yelled startling Amy from her spot.
"Wait so... none of you are mortals? Your all vampires?" Amy asked causing Mina, Blaze, and Rouge to stop laughing and sadly look at her.
"Yeah, but don't worry we may not be mortals on the outside but we certainly are mortals from the inside" Blaze said as she laid a hand on Amy's shoulder and smiled at her.
"Amy right? It's very nice to meet you" Rouge said as she walked up to her.
"Like Cream, we all want to be your friends here" Mina said receiving a scoff from Fiona.
"Enough with all the mushy crap! Hey Pinky we got work to do and Master Sonic asked me to position you and give you the job of gardener and cook. Can you handle that?" Fiona asked rudely as Amy nodded.
"How many times do I have to freaken tell you to not nod! IT'S DISRESPECTFUL! It's YES MA'AM!" Fiona yelled.
"Fiona quit being so hard on her can't you see the poor girl is scared enough already!" Rouge exclaimed as she directed her hand to Amy who was shaking in her spot.
"I don't give a damn if she went through domestic violence just like I don't give a damn about you selling your body before becoming a vampire" Fiona said causing Rouge's eyes to well up in tears and stare at her angrily.
"Now Pinky here are the rules, DON'T DISRESPECT ME IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU. Everytime Master Sonic comes into the room we all have to line up on both sides of the stairwell, girls on one side boys on the other, your position is on the end of the girls' line. Don't embarrass me when we do this. It's not very complicated, when Sonic walks by you, you MUST bow NO EXCEPTIONS! Follow me, I'm going to show you where you'll be working, then those four clowns can show you around the castle." Fiona said referring to Rouge, Mina, Blaze, and Cream.
Amy gulped, something told her that it wasn't going to be easy getting along with Fiona.
Well there we have it cx
Shadow: Booooooooo
Me: Shut up xD anyway I have something to say to some of my amazing reviewers ;)
Dear Engima,
THANK YOU FOR TAKING NOTICE OF THAT! I will be honest with you, Two Different Worlds, Two Different Sonics was my first fanfic that I wrote like at the end of middle school... ugh I know... my writing skills weren't on fleek. But I also have noticed that my writing has become more I guess you could say mature? Because I remember going on a HUGE writer's block that lasted like 1 whole year on that story and The Three Musketeers and when I went back to them and read them over I cringed and asked myself what in the world was I thinking xD So I kinda rushed like at the end of both stories cause I wanted to begin typing more mature like stories like Hey Arnold: TJM ft Sonic Boom and this story. Big difference huh? cx But thanks SO SO much for taking notice Engima the OG ;)
Dear Random Guest,
Lol when I saw your review at first I got kinda scared cause I was like, oh crap what did I do wrong now xD But it was actually very helpful and I really appreciated it! Trust me, I am NOT a Twilight fan AT ALL _ Ask anyone, it's a fact xD Mind inviting me to that bonfire of yours? I'll gladly burn the books with you, my goal for this story was to make it as different as Twilight as possible cause making a parody of it was NOT the goal Dx I'm glad your enjoying the story though! Thanks so much for pointing out the chao thing, I'll make sure to go back to that chapter to revise that :) I actually was using Sonic Boom's version of Knuckles to add a little humor to the story since the majority of it is depressing cx I changed Sticks' persona because I felt like it would fit the story more, I NEEDED Cream to be part of the castle group so I decided to make Sticks Amy's outside world best friend. And you'll see why in future chapters. I was going to make Shadow one of the masters but he wouldn't have a role in the story if I did that. I wanted Shadow to have a role so I made him part of the castle group. In addition, it would also ruin the fact that Scourge and Sonic were the youngest masters in the world ya get me, cause Shadow looks pretty young. xD The whole scene with Silver and the 'lucky rabbit's foot' was actually supposed to foreshadow the 'luck' the vampires had. Remember how Silver was told that vampires can't have luck, well after Silver picked up the foot and then the whole tragedy occurred with Scourge despite him obtaining the 'lucky' foot, it kinda gave out a message to the reader that vampires indeed DON'T have luck at all. That they are creatures from the depths of darkness. Now about Amy not reporting Bob cx lol don't worry because that is going to be answered in future chapters ;) I didn't forget that detail I promise ^-^ Thanks SO SO much for your input it put a smile to my face! I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.
Shadow: Sheesh Vega you talk too much
Me: Shut up Shadow xD Anyway review! Everything you guys say matters and is welcome! And thanks to all that have reviewed you are all angels from the fanfiction world! Stay tuned for chapter 10 of Blackshade ;)
