Blackshade
Chapter 12: I Won't Say I Fell for a Vampire
Phew hey guys!
Shadow: SCHOOL SUCKS
Me: True cx but let's get started
"So when is The Ghouls Ball?" Amy asked Cream as they walked toward the ballroom.
"October 31st, 1 month from now" Cream said as Amy nodded.
1 month.
She had been living in the castle for a whole month.
She had made several amends and has won the trust of all the workers and the maids, with the exception of Fiona.
Amy has been feeling very odd around Sonic though...
She seems to get overly happy when she sees him, she starts blushing uncontrollably, and when he talks to her, she freezes in her spot.
She just loved his voice.
He wasn't the jerk she thought he was when she was a human, he was actually a considerate being.
"Amy can you help me with this?" Shadow asked as he walked up to Amy.
"Sure what is it?"
"Something weird is happening with the master's Blackshade"
Amy immediately walked with Shadow toward where the Blackshade were saying a farewell to Cream.
Amy noticed the Blackshade beginning to glow.
"Do they always do this?" Amy asked.
"Never, but if we don't do something about it the master is gonna make a big fuss about it"
Amy kneeled down and eyed the roses with awe but fear, she knew these were very important to Sonic and she knew she was going to get in trouble if something happened to them"
"Maybe they need blood?" Amy said as she got a watering can, filled it with blood and fed it to the plant.
Suddenly the Blackshade glowed brighter.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know but whatever it is we must fix it?"
"What does the master see in Blackshade anyway? Like is there a meaning behind it?" Amy asked.
"He says that for vampires, Blackshade represents safety, peace, and in come cases love."
"But why black roses?"
"We are dark creatures, which means that black would be our color. And just like red roses represents love with mortals, black roses represents love with vampires. Black roses are our only happiness, since as I said before, we're dark creatures"
Amy thoughtfully looked at the flowers and try to plug what was going on with what Shadow had just said.
"Maybe this is a sign"
"A sign?"
"Yes, a sign of more peace, or safety.. or..."
"Love is in the air!?" Shadow responded.
"Yes but who..."
"Blackshade has been linked to the master for decades now since his death, at least that's what I heard from Tails"
"So you think that..."
"The master has found love?" Shadow and Amy said at the same time.
"Wow Rose your pretty smart, that never would have crossed my mind"
"Meh, I took a lot of AP English classes in highschool. Too bad BOB didn't let me go to college" Amy said as she scratched the back of her head.
"Hmm.. I was actually on my junior year of college when the master turned me into a vampire back in 1952"
"Really?"
"Mhmm, but enough of that. What do we do about these roses?" Shadow asked but was interrupted when the roses dimmed in their glow completely.
"YOU GUYS THE MASTER WANTS YOU IN THE CASLTE! WE HAVE A VISITOR!" Charmy yelled.
"Who?" Shadow asked.
"Master Scourge." Charmy sarcastically responded.
Shadow groaned as he and Amy walked toward the castle, leaving a confused Amy falling behind.
I wonder who the master found love with... if that's the case that is..
"I'm just saying Sonic that you don't look like the type to know how to coordinate such an important event!" Scourge stated as Sonic rolled his eyes.
"So that's it? You just came here to insult me?" Sonic asked as Amy and Shadow got into their positions.
"No I came here to help you Sonic"
"Is that Master Scourge?" Amy asked Shadow.
"Hmph unfortunately."
"Why do you..."
"Wow Sonic you got busy!" Scourge exclaimed as he noticed Amy.
Scourge slowly walked up to her and Amy began shaking.
"I thought you said you weren't going to recruit any more vampires?" Scourge asked.
"I changed my mind..." Sonic responded.
"Good, because it's very unhealthy not to bite mortals y'know that stupid chao hunting of yours is not only basic but very.. PROBLEMATIC!" Scourge said as he glared at Charmy and Knuckles.
Charmy squeaked and hid behind Knuckles.
Scourge looked back at Amy and eyed her up and down, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"Not bad.. you actually got yourself a very... intriguing one this time" Scourge said causing Fiona to puff her cheeks up.
Sonic walked in front of Scourge and put his hand over Amy.
"Don't get any ideas Scourge."
"Now now Sonic don't get all defensive now sheesh! That's the first time I ever see you get so overprotective over a girl" Scourge evilly smirked as Sonic rolled his eyes.
Scourge looked at Amy grabbed her hand, "The name is Scourge what could a beautiful mademoiselle as yourself be named?" Scourge kissed her palm as Amy blushed immensely.
"A-Amy Rose" Amy responded.
"You have a beautiful name, but I'm not surprised" Scourge smiled at her and Amy blushed more.
This guy is so much more gentlemanly than Sonic... I like him already... not like THAT though...
"T-hank you Master Scourge..." Amy responded as Scourge let go of her hand noticing Sonic glaring at him from the corner of his eye.
"So Sonic, have you gotten the music for the ball yet?"
"No"
"Boy you really haven't done anything yet, but your my friend so I wanna recommend the vampires of England, Master Snively has some pretty good musicians recruited"
Sonic was about to argue but Tails intervened.
"We'll consider it thanks for the input"
"Anytime you need advice from the best ball host in the century just give me a call, now Sonic I need to speak to you in private"
Sonic nodded as his servants went back to doing their normal tasks, Scourge receiving a wink from Fiona.
"I'll see you at the ball" Scourge said as he held on Amy's arm as she smiled and walked away.
"Let's head over to the meeting room shall we?" Scourge asked as Sonic walked over there without saying a word.
"Stick in the mud" Scourge rolled his eyes as he followed Sonic.
Amy suddenly realized she had forgotten her set of cleaning supplies in the meeting room since she was cleaning there with Cream in the morning and tried to sneak in and get them but stopped outside the door.
"No Scourge! I won't do it!"
"Are you stupid!? With HIS power you can be the most powerful vampire in the universe. You gotta let this stupid past of yours go"
"That thing almost killed my friend! What would happen if the tables were turned I'd never forgive myself! Because I was the one who led him into the castle in the first place."
"Then make what occurred count! You can't be moping around all day crying because of what occurred in freaken 1876. Do something about it!"
"Scourge why are you insisting so much, this is exactly why I don't tell anyone about my past. Nobody understands that I HATE what I've become! I HATE being a vampire, and the fact that it was my fault that I turned into this for what I used to be disgusts me."
"So curiosity killed the cat. Or hedgehog in this case but can you AT LEAST tell me where you left its ashes?"
"You have no idea how much I regret ever telling you what happened. And don't think I'm just going to tell you where its ashes are."
"You know for a fact that Master Pickle and I were the only ones there for you when you awoke from your stupid slumber, so since I practically helped you become a vampire, since I awoke before you, I have the right to know where its ashes are."
"NO SCOURGE!" Sonic snapped causing Amy to jump from outside the door.
"Alright fine don't tell me." Scourge said as he got on the window sill.
"I'll find out sooner or later, YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR STUPID PAST A SECRET FOR MUCH LONGER!" Scourge said as he flew out the window.
Sonic growled as he heard a thump on the door.
"Crud..." Amy whispered as she realized she accidentally hit her hand on the door.
Sonic opened the door and was surprised to see Amy smiling sheepishly at him.
"What do you want." Sonic asked.
"Um.. I kinda forgot my cleaning supplies here a while ago, so I came to get them back..."
Sonic indifferently looked at her and stood to a side and allowed her to walk in.
Amy awkwardly walked in and picked up her supplies, feeling Sonic's eyes on her.
I think he suspects something...
Amy turned and noticed Sonic leaning on the wall with his arms folded and his right leg being used as a balance, he had his eyes closed as well.
Amy began walking outside but stopped when Sonic bluntly stated,
"So how much did you hear?"
Amy stopped dead in her tracks.
Could he have heard her...
"Um.. I" Amy noticed Sonic close the door and he began walking up to her.
"How much did you hear?" Sonic roughly said.
"Not anything that I understood, so to speak" Amy began walking back.
"WHAT did you hear!?"
Amy's back had landed on the wall and Sonic put his hands next to the sides of her body to trap her.
"Just something confusing about ashes and what not, I didn't think much of it since I know it's not my business." Amy responded, trying to avoid eye contact.
Sonic grabbed her chin and turned her head and she was surprised at how close their faces were.
"Are you sure that's all..." Sonic whispered beginning to lose his train of thought as he looked into her eyes.
Amy began blushing at the position they were in and nodded.
"Ok..." Sonic said as he whispered, "I believe you"
His eyes began closing as he leaned in, Amy's mouth partly open as her eye lids began slowly closing.
Her heart was pumping like crazy as they got closer and closer and closer.
"MASTER SONIC!" Charmy yelled from outside causing Amy and Sonic to abruptly move away from each other as their eyes widened.
So close...
"Yes Charmy?" Sonic asked.
"Miss. Fiona says that lunch is served!"
"I'll be right there" Sonic gritted from his teeth.
Amy blushed as Sonic looked back at her.
"Um, I should held the girls set the table" Amy sheepishly said as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Yeah" Sonic said as Amy walked out, leaving Sonic sit down on one of the couches and rub his head in confusion.
"What's happening to me.. I've never felt this way for anyone before..."
After lunch the girls had agreed to hang out in Amy's room and talk about the ball.
"Amy, what are you doing over there!" Rouge asked as Amy was at the balcony holding a small flower.
"Are you picking petals off a flower!?" Mina asked as Amy hid the flower.
"Um. no!"
"YOU LIKE SOMEONE!" Mina said as Amy blushed deeply and rejected that thought.
"No I don't!"
"Yes you do, spill it Amy" Blaze said as they hung out on the bed.
"Is it someone in the castle?" Blaze asked.
"Guys please"
"Let me guess, is it Shadow!?" Rouge asked.
"No"
"Silver! It better not be, he's totally mine" Blaze said.
"Don't worry Blaze its not Silver"
"Okay" Blaze said in a cheery mood again. "Is it Knuckles"
"No, he's Rouge's crush isn't he?" Amy asked.
"Alright who told her!" Rouge yelled receiving giggles from the other girls.
"Is it Master Sonic?" Cream asked as Amy fell into silence, receiving shocked glares from the glares.
"I KNEW IT!" Rouge yelled.
"You knew?"
"Girl it's pretty obvious you two have a something going on, do you see the way he protects you and looks at you!?"
"Guys..."
"No, we totally have to hook you two up!" Mina squealed.
"Later" Amy said as she walked out of the room.
"Wait up Amy! Don't run away from love!" Blaze said.
No... I can't be in love with a vampire...
Amy thought as she headed toward the kitchen.
Yay so this story gets more mysterious over time.
