Chapter 19: The BIG Revelation
Ayyyy I'm back!
Shadow: NO INTRODUCTIONS! START THE CHAPTER!
Okay geez xD
"Antoine..." Sonic said his eyes filling with tears.
Tails widened his eyes at the sound of that name he's been hearing for the past century and looked at the elderly coyote.
Suddenly Amy and all the other servants escalated down the stairs to see who this new vampire was.
Sticks looked inside and noticed Amy walking toward the scene.
"AMY!" Sticks yelled.
Amy stopped in her tracks as she heard her name being called.
There they were, the chipmunk Tails was speaking of who looked extremely confused, Antoine and Sticks.
"STICKS!" Amy ran toward Sticks and Sticks did the same.
They hugged tightly as they cried their eyes out.
"AMY THANK CHAOS YOUR OKAY IDK WHAT I WOULD'VE DONE WITHOUT YOU!" Sticks yelled.
"STICKS YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I'VE MISSED YOU"
The servants confusingly looked at the girls.
"What's going on?" Charmy asked everyone as they all shrugged.
"How did you guys get here!?" Amy asked.
"That's what I'd like to know" Sonic darkly said as he grabbed Amy's arm and placed her back with the servants.
Amy looked into his eyes and realized that he was back to having his extremely pessimistic and indifferent persona. His eyes had lost their color once again.
Sonic turned and looked over at Antoine.
"Your still alive." Sonic asked indifferently as Antoine straightened himself and looked at Sonic.
"You know each other?" Amy asked Sonic as he turned and looked at her.
"Oh we know each other very well Amy" Antoine responded. "And I think I've let out a detail or two about him to you"
Suddenly Amy gasped and widened her eyes.
"So the Sonic you were telling me about... that poor 7 year old boy..." Amy didn't finish as Antoine nodded his head confirming that it was indeed him.
"So this whole entire time Amy" Sonic said as he looked at Amy. "YOU KNEW ANTOINE! YOU KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME!" he yelled at her as she stood back.
"No of course not! I mean I did know Monsieur Depardieu and I did know that he had a friend named Sonic that died but I didn't know it was you because he never told me how you had died... but... the puzzles fit now. I thought it was just a coincidence that you had the same name as his little friend"
Sonic glared at her and then looked back at Antoine.
"What she says is true Sonic, she knew nothing of the cause of your death but the actual ambiguous fact itself. You have no idea how many years I've spent trying to find out what had occurred to you... 117 years thinking of what could have happened. I cannot die peacefully until I found you, dead or alive. I've spent all these years worrying for you..."
"LIAR!" Sonic yelled causing his servants to take a step back.
Fiona looked over and noticed that Sally was looking at the scene before her.
Sally looked over at Fiona and Fiona motioned for her to walk toward her.
Sally nodded and walked toward Fiona.
"We can't talk here" Fiona whispered as she and Sally headed for the meeting room.
"YOU NEVER CARED! YOUR LYING! IF YOU CARED YOU WOULD'VE CAME BACK LIKE YOU PROMISED!" Sonic yelled as the tears finally began flowing down his cheeks.
"IT. WASN'T. MY. FAULT!" Antoine yelled as Sonic glared at him with his teeth clenched, trying to with hold the tears.
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY NIGHTS I SPENT REGRETTING NOT GOING AGAINST OUR PARENTS JUST TO GO BACK TO GET YOU! WHEN I ARRIVED HOME AND TOLD OUR PARENTS WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO YOU THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. THEY THOUGHT... YOU GOT EATEN BY SOME CANNIBAL AND I WAS TOO TRAUMATIZED TO THINK STRAIGHT. AND WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS GOING TO GO BACK TO THE CASTLE TO GET YOU THEY DIDN'T LET ME! THEY LOCKED ME IN MY ROOM AND WHEN I TRIED SNEAKING OUT THEY CAME UP WITH THE CONCLUSION THAT WE HAD TO LEAVE FROM SAINT VERAN AND GO LIVE IN PARIS! I WAS FORCED TO GO WITH THEM! THEY WERE HEARTBROKEN AT YOUR LOSS ESPECIALLY JULES AND ALEENA, YOUR PARENTS! YOUR PARENTS DIED 5 YEARS LATER, THEY JUST COULDN'T MOVE ALONG WITHOUT YOU! MY PARENTS PUT ME IN A RELIGIOUS BOARDING SCHOOL FOR THE REST OF GRADE SCHOOL SO I CAN RECIEVE THERAPY FOR YOUR DEATH BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. CAUSE I KNEW YOU WERE STILL IN THERE!" Antoine yelled as he pointed at the castle.
"Then why did you wait until you were old to come!" Sonic yelled still clenching his teeth.
"Because by the time I became an adult I had lost hope! But once Sticks and Amy began giving me these signs about you being a vampire I had to come over here! I just had to!"
Sonic looked away a took deep breaths.
"Well you saw me..." Sonic said. "Now leave." he cruelly stated as he looked over at Antoine, a look of hurt expressed on his face.
"What happened to you Sonic?" Antoine asked as he shook his head.
"What happened to that energetic, optimistic, good hearted, and adventurous Sonic we all knew and loved..." he said.
"He died." Sonic cruelly stated. "That Sonic died when he was bit by that vampire."
Antoine's tears flowed down his eyes as he looked at Amy.
"Alright Sonic, if my presence is what irks you then I shall leave, but I'm taking Amy with us."
"How are you so sure I didn't turn her into a vampire?" Sonic said as he looked at Antoine.
Antoine slowly walked up to him and said, "Sonic, I know she's still a mortal."
Sonic narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth.
"C'mon Amy, we're going home." Antoine said.
"Amy's not going anywhere." Sonic darkly growled.
"I'm sorry but this is when I step in!" Sticks yelled as she walked in front of Sonic.
"That's MY best friend your keeping prisoner here. If you know what's good for you, I would advise for you to let her go!"
"She's. Not. Leaving."
Sticks was about to argue but was stopped by Antoine, who put a hand on her shoulder.
"Let's just leave Sticks, there's no point in trying to convince him" Antoine said as he gave her a look that signaled to Sticks that he had a plan.
"But before I go, Sonic, I was wondering if you'd give me permission to speak to your friends here" Antoine said as he looked over at Sonic's servants.
"Make it quick" Sonic stated as he looked away.
Antoine slowly walked over to Sonic's servants.
"Sonic wasn't like this" he said as he stepped in front of them.
"Did you guys know that Sonic used to be a guy who loved life? He was never mad, a little cocky, but very good hearted. Optimistic, caring, kind and NEVER said no to an adventure?"
Sonic scoffed as his servants shrugged and gave confused looks at one another.
Sonic was the TOTAL opposite of that.
"Let me tell you who I am. I am Antoine Depardieu, I am 117 years old. And I was Sonic's BEST childhood friend. Unfortunately, on that horrible day back when Sonic and I were 7 years old... 110 years ago to be exact, I lost Sonic to a vampire... It was a normal day, and we found this castle... We stepped inside, and we ran into a flesh eating vampire, and that day I lost Sonic to that vampire... and here we are, reunited, after 110 years..." Antoine's eyes filled with tears as the servants stared at him in sadness.
Now they know... now they know what's been tormenting Sonic this whole time...
He was the Antoine he called out every night whenever he had nightmares.
"Sonic and I in those 7 years had great moments together, there was once a time back when we were 5 that we both decided to have a chilidog eating contest, he came up with the rules and I quote, Okay Antoine, who ever can eat the most SPICY chilidogs without drinking water, wins" Antoine giggled at the memory as Sticks, Amy, and all the others listened intently with small smiles.
Sonic leaned with his arms crossed and his eyes closed on the wall, secretly reminiscing the memory as well.
"You guys can imagine how that ended up, it was my first time eating a chilidog and when I took my first bite, my ears steamed with hotness and my eyes went watery and I breathed out water" Antoine said as he portrayed choking himself.
The servants giggled as Antoine continued, "Noooo but that's not all! Back in the 1800's we didn't have gallons of water we can easily apply onto our homes, noooo we had to walk a LONG mile over to the well to get some water from a bucket. Sonic was so scared to get in trouble from our parents that he literally carried me and ran the whole mile to the well! But boy was that the best bucket of water I've ever drank"
The servants laughed as Sonic smiled, clearly remembering how he had to carry the 65 pound coyote over to the well.
"There was also a time where I developed my first crush, her name was Nicole. Sonic tried SO hard trying to hook us up but it ALWAYS failed! I was just too much of a loser for her, the only piece of affection I got from her was her damped handkerchief filled with snot" Antoine laughed as well as the servants, suddenly the servants were shocked in hearing that Sonic began laughing too.
"I remember that! Oh my goodness" Sonic walked over to Antoine and poked him repeatedly. "Tell them about the time we dressed up as girls so we can go to Megan's slumber party"
"OH YEAH! We literally got small oranges to put in our chests so we can look more feminine. By the way that was Sonic's idea" Antoine said in a matter of fact.
"Don't pin it all on me! It was your idea to put on my mom's make up!" Sonic argued as he laughed.
"NOT EVEN!" Antoine argued.
"YES! Antoine I remember clearly! And I quote, We still look like boys, let's use your mom's make up"
"I never said nothing of the sort!" Antoine said as he pouted comically and crossed his arms.
"Woops! Look at your nose Antoine it's getting longer from all those lies!" Sonic said as he pointed at Antoine's nose.
Amy, Sticks, and the servants stared in awe as Sonic's eyes began to shine and he began acting rather... positive...
"Remember the French Revolution song Antoine?" Sonic asked.
"The one Madame Rouault forced us to sing 24/7?"
Suddenly Sonic and Antoine put a hand on each others shoulders and began singing.
"We are the reveling revolutionaries, and we party where we like!" Sonic and Antoine laughed.
"You still got it Louis the XVI" Sonic laughed.
"Not as well as you Mr. Sonic Robespierre" Antoine said as they both laughed.
When their laughing died Antoine's smile faded as he let go of Sonic.
"Well I guess... it's time to leave now... c'mon Sticks" Antoine said as he looked over at Sticks who sadly nodded and gave Amy and long meaningful hug.
"I'll miss you Amy, take care!"
"You too Sticks!" Amy said as tears flowed down her eyes.
Sticks and Antoine walked toward the door as Sonic sadly stared at them along with his servants.
"WAIT!" Sonic yelled as Antoine and Sticks turned.
"It's kinda late and it's dangerous out there..." Sonic scratched the back of his head. "Why don't you two stay?"
Amy and the servant's faces lit up as Antoine and Sticks smiled.
"We'd be happy to" Antoine said.
This caused Sticks to squeal and run toward Amy and hugged her.
Both squealing in happiness.
"But if Sticks stays she'll have to complete the same obligations as Amy and the other girls, and both of you are going to receive the anecdote Tails made so vampires won't smell you from afar" Sonic said.
"NO PROBLEM... ummm" Sticks asked as she tried to figure out what to name Sonic.
"Master Sonic" Amy whispered as Sticks nodded.
"Master Sonic sir" Sticks yelled as she threw up a salute sign.
"Master Sonic? Dang Sonic!" Antoine said as he looked over at his cobalt friend.
Sonic gave a nervous shrug and smiled.
"Don't expect me to call you Master Sonic" Antoine said as he pointed at him.
"Don't worry, I wasn't expecting for you to call me that anyway Ant" Sonic said as he messed up Antoine's hair.
"Eyyy" Antoine said as he smacked his hands away. "I knew you would never change"
Sonic smiled as he looked around.
"Wait, where are Fiona and the new recruit?"
OMG I MADE IT TO 100 REVIEWS! MY GOAL HAS BEEN REACHED!
