Chapter 20: Rising Suspicions
Heyyyyy guys!
Anyway lol let's begin
"And that's the plan, got it?" Fiona asked Sally who nodded her head.
"So Fiona, I've been meaning to ask, where are the ashes anyway?" Sally asked.
"See that's the thing, I have no clue. It's been SO hard to gain the master's trust for him to tell me, it's gotten even more worse ever since that pink rat came into the picture. She's turned him against me completely. By the way, I would watch out for her if I were you, she's a threat to the plan"
Sally nodded as they heard the door open.
"Fiona what are you two doing here?" Sonic asked, standing in front of the two girls.
"Since there seemed to be a lot of tension out there I brought Sally Acorn here, she seemed a little frightened and I wanted to comfort her" Fiona said as she motioned toward Sally.
"Is that true Sally is it?" Sonic asked as Sally nodded and blushed.
She didn't know why but Sonic made her legs feel like jelly.
He was so handsome, and seemed so kind and good hearted.
"Well Fiona will guide you and what you'll need to do from now on, but both of you must come to the dining room. We must celebrate my reuniting with Antoine" Sonic smiled as Fiona nodded and Sally blushed deeper.
Wow he has a nice smile...
The dining room was filled with delicious food and appetizers, Sticks sat next to Amy while Antoine sat beside Tails, Sally sat beside Fiona.
"Wait, are these chilidogs?" Sticks asked as she picked up a dog.
"Yup" Tails responded.
"But don't they have garlic?" Sticks said as she widened her eyes causing all the other servants to laugh.
"Sticks, vampires aren't allergic to garlic, so I've been told" Amy laughed as she remembered how afraid she was when she made her specialty.
"I remember that day like if it was yesterday" Fiona said, "Poor Amy was traumatized because she thought Master Sonic was gonna hit her for committing a mistake. *sigh* the things Bob done must've been VERY traumatizing." Fiona evilly smiled at Amy as Blaze, Rouge and Mina sent her a death glare.
Amy looked down as Sonic set down his spoon.
"You didn't have to bring that up Fiona" Sonic declared as Fiona rolled her eyes.
"It was just a simple comment Master, no shade intended" Fiona innocently stated as Rouge scoffed loudly.
"Like it's not my fault she had an abusive step father" Fiona said again as Sally widened her eyes and looked at Amy pitifully.
"Now hold up a sec!" Sticks yelled as she stood up from her chair.
"It's not worth it Sticks, sit down" Amy said as she picked at her food while Sticks obliged.
Antoine raised his eyebrow at Sonic as if saying 'wow Sonic they're SO well educated .-.'
Sonic nervously shrugged as he continued eating.
"Master Sonic, Master Pickle is here" Charmy said from the kitchen.
Sonic sighed and stood up,
"You put the anecdote on them right?" he asked Tails.
"Yeah when you were talking to Fiona and Sally"
Sonic nodded and headed toward the kitchen, "Antoine, I want you to come with me, there's someone I want you to meet, Tails you come too"
Antoine and Tails nodded as they stood up and followed Sonic towards his room.
Everyone else just quietly ate as Fiona stood up.
"Alright Amy's friend! I want to make something VERY clear to you" Fiona said as she walked towards Sticks.
"YOU FOLLOW MY ORDERS OKAY? YOU DON'T BREAK THEM, YOU DON'T DISRESPECT ME BECAUSE I AM THE HEAD MAID OF THE CASTLE AND I AM MASTER SONIC'S RIGHT HAND WOMAN, SOON TO BE HIS QUEEN SO IF YOU START TRYING TO BE TOUGH THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!"
"Leave her alone Fiona!" Blaze said as she, Rouge, and Mina stood up.
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" Fiona snapped.
"You can't talk to me like that!" Sticks said as she stood up.
"And with what right are you going to stop me!"
Sticks charged toward her as Amy held her back.
Sally simply shook her head at the scene and face palmed in embarrassment at Fiona.
No wonder she hasn't gained Master Sonic's trust.
"Sticks just sit down" Amy calmly said.
"Are you gonna let her just say those things!"
"Of course she is, she's used to staying quiet. Like it's absolutely RIDICULOUS how she never reported Bob for committing domestic violence. He's probably runnin' around freely right now with no punishment" Fiona rolled her eyes as Amy looked down.
Bob? Sally asked herself. Why does that name sound so familiar?
"I'll have you know that Bob ISN'T running freely! I'll have you know that Bob is DEAD!" Sticks yelled but immediately covered her mouth and widened her eyes as she looked at Amy.
"Wait... what?" Amy said as she turned to Sticks.
"Oops... I wasn't supposed to say that" Sticks said in a shocked way.
"What do you mean Bob is dead!?" Amy yelled.
Now the whole room was dead silent, even Fiona, waiting for Sticks to respond.
"Um... it's a long story..."
"I have time." Amy responded impatiently.
"Well I was walking towards Antoine's house since y'know that's a habit. Bob came and assaulted me because he wanted to sell me into prostitution because he needed money, so Monsieur Depardieu rescued me and we both went to the police to report him. The police ran after him and Bob refused to get arrested so he shot himself with a gun that he got from the police station..."
The room was silent, no one DARED to say a word, including Fiona.
"So... he's... dead?" Amy asked.
"Yes Amy, Bob committed suicide"
"This is exactly why I never told the police..."
"What?" Sticks asked.
"Bob is stubborn, the reason I never told the police was because I THOUGHT he was my real father and I knew he was going to react in that manner... by killing himself... I couldn't afford losing another family member, even if he was a jerk..." Amy wrapped her arms around her chest and looked down.
"Amy, I'm sorry... I never knew..."
"But now I know that I've been wrong in not reporting him, you did the right thing Sticks... even if it did end in tragedy. Thank you, your the greatest friend ever" Amy hugged Sticks as Sticks smiled.
"Are you sure your okay?"
"Yes, I actually was going to report him but, well, you know what happened"
"Yeah"
"So your stupid stepfather is dead, BIG DEAL, your still a miserable lonely sap with no family" Fiona rolled her eyes and laughed.
"That's it!" Rouge said as she threw her cake at Fiona's face.
Fiona gasped as she looked at herself in disgust.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHH" the boys hollered.
"BURN!" Jet yelled.
Sally put a hand over her mouth, trying to withhold her laughter.
Fiona glared at Rouge with an angry look.
This. Means. War.
"Master Pickle, what a pleasure to see you!" Sonic said as he greeted Master Pickle.
"Sonic, I'm sorry to come at such a late timing but coming from America to here is a long flight"
"No problem please sit down and enjoy the blood" Sonic said as he served him, Tails, and Master Pickle some blood.
Antoine stared at it in fright and disgust.
"Aren't you going to have some?" Master Pickle asked.
Antoine looked at him with fright and looked at Sonic.
"Um, he already had some, we were eating dinner a while ago" Sonic nervously said as Antoine nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Master Pickle, remember Antoine?" Sonic asked.
"Yes, how could I forget!" Master Pickle exclaimed.
"Well, here he is, turns out he never died... he's surprisingly 117 years old" Sonic said as he motioned toward Antoine.
"My gondy! So Sonic bit you by surprise? Or did he ask you if you wanted to join the vampire crowd?" Master Pickle asked.
"He... asked me..." Antoine nervously said.
"I knew it. It's SUCH a pleasure to meet you! I've heard so much! I'm Master Pickle, I'm like Sonic's second father, I've trained him to being what he is today, generous, kind, and noble" Master Pickle said as he shook hands with him.
"You did a great job!" Antoine said, getting comfortable with the man.
"Yes, yes, now to the order of business. Sonic have you been sensing weird things going on?"
Sonic looked at him confusingly,
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know it's just that I have this odd feeling, I don't know what it is... I just sense danger coming your way"
"Danger?" Sonic asked.
"Yes, danger, like if a past foe were to come back. Maybe it's just because I'm old... but the odd thing is that Master Big had the same exact vision as I did"
"Wait, vision?"
"I don't want to frighten you, but Master Big and I had this vision that HE came back to the afterlife"
"Define he" Sonic said, kind of getting an idea of who it is.
"The ashes Sonic... your biter, the vampire who chased you and Antoine out of the castle... I had a vision... that it was unleashed again..."
"Unleashed? That's impossible! I locked those ashes away years ago without a trace of where they could be... No one but me knows where they lie"
"Ah but you must be careful Sonic, be careful of who you trust. Your doing right in not telling anyone, it could lead to danger."
"Master Pickle you never quite told me... who IS the vampire who did this to me... what's his name?" Sonic asked in curiosity.
"I mustn't say, it was such a long time ago..."
"But don't you think hiding the ashes would be easier if you told me who that vampire was?" Sonic asked.
"Sorry to interrupt but I'd like to know too, who IS the vampire who did this to me and Sonic?" Antoine asked as Master Pickle hesitated.
As Master Pickle was about to speak screaming was heard from the dining room.
"Ugh what now?" Sonic asked as he walked out the door as the other three trailed behind.
Sonic walked into the dining room and stared in shock at the now disastrous room.
Fiona and Rouge were both covered in chilidog sauce.
"What the hell is the meaning of this!?" Sonic yelled as Rouge and Fiona pointed at each other.
"She started it!" they both said in unison.
"Both of you! On a diet of bread and water for 3 days understood?"
Fiona and Rouge nodded as Antoine stared at Sonic with a knowing smile.
"I see you've learned a thing or two from your father" Antoine said with a smile as Sonic returned a nervous one.
Amy glanced at the two in curiosity, she couldn't help but wonder how Sonic's parents look and how their persona was...
She wanted to know who were the wonderful pair who created such a handsome, amazing, and caring son...
Wait... handsome?
Suddenly Amy blushed and glanced over at Sonic, who made eye contact with her and smiled.
She looked away quickly and blushed more deeply.
Yes... handsome...
Amy had to admit it...
She had most definitely fallen DEEPLY for Sonic the Hedgehog.
But did he feel the same way?
No, he most definitely doesn't. Those past couple of 'incidents' were simply accidents. He's usually cold to her...
Amy sighed in frustration and turned towards her room.
Sonic was so complicated.
Sonic looked over at her and sighed.
If only she know how much he loved her...
Ayyyy well there ya go!
Sorry, its been really busy.
I will post the next chapter tomorrow though!
Shadow: Good. Anyway don't forget to R&R!
