DON'T KILL ME I PROMISE IT WON'T BE ANYTHING TOO SAVAGE I'M A SONAMY FAN TOO SWEARZIES!
Lol anyway let's begin
Sticks and Sally got accustomed to the castle life quicker than expected.
They were both caught up in the gossip and the past events that occurred.
Sticks became to be really close friends with Blaze, Rouge, Mina, and Cream, who greeted her with open arms.
Sally on the other hand spent her time around Fiona, since those were her orders.
She couldn't help but admit that living in Master Sonic's castle was much more comforting than living in Master Scourge's.
Life here was just more laid back..
Antoine spent his time around Tails and Sonic, quickly becoming Sonic's confidant.
Those three told each other everything.
Tails became very fond of Antoine and respected him for all he's been through.
"So Sonic, I've been thinking, and although I've only been here for one week I couldn't help but notice somethin' odd going on here" Antoine said as he grabbed Sonic's attention.
"And what would that be?"
"Is there something going on between you and Amy?" Antoine asked as Tails snorted in agreement.
"Um no of course not! Why would you think that!" Sonic said, a deep blush forming on his cheeks.
"Just a thought"
Meanwhile a certain chipmunk stood outside the door, trying to figure out some dirt to give to Master Scourge.
She already planned to report that Sonic had brought two mortals into the castle, maybe they'd be good for when Master Scourge tried to unleash the ashes.
He needed mortal blood anyway.
"Sonic I would advise you to be careful! After all, Amy IS a mortal" Antoine reminded Sonic.
Sonic sighed deeply and sat on the bed.
"I know, you don't have to remind me"
"You say that in such a depressing tone, so I take that you do have feelings for her?" Antoine asked as Sonic looked at him and Tails quietly.
With a deep breath, he spoke, "Yes... I have fallen deeply for Amy Rose"
Tails jumped up and did a small happy dance, "YES! ABOUT TIME! I KNEW IT WAS PRONE TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER!" suddenly Tails sat down and was reminded of something a certain cat stated, "Wait... then Sonic fell in love... then that means... Master Big's fortune was right?"
Sonic perked his ears up in memorization.
"Yes... I guess it was..."
Sally removed her ear from the door.
So Master Sonic was in love with the pink hedgehog?
The chipmunk walked away, figuring she had grabbed enough information.
"Sticks can you pass me that blood over there?" Amy asked as she glanced at the Blackshade.
Sticks obliged and passed Amy the watering can filled with blood.
"So what's happening?" Sticks asked.
"I don't know, I thought the roses would've gotten cured by now but they get sicker and worse EVERYDAY!"
"Are the roses okay now?" Shadow asked as he walked up to the girls.
"No! Ever since that day we both checked on them they've gotten worse!" Amy exclaimed as Shadow glanced over at them.
"Maybe you over watered them?" Sticks asked.
"No I don't think that's the case I've been feeding them correctly, Master Sonic is going to kill me!"
"What about that one?" Shadow asked as he pointed at a rose that had a lot of life.
The rose was in the middle of all the other roses, who seemed to be dying and glowing a darker aura everyday.
The middle Blackshade, on the other hand, was shining a bright, vivid aura.
"That's odd" Amy said as she softly touched the petals.
The Blackshade got brighter and it's petals spread out much more, making it much more beautiful.
"It's like if the Blackshade is supposed to symbolize something" Amy suggested.
"Master Sonic is unpredictable, I wouldn't be surprised if those were magical roses" Shadow stated as he kneeled down and touched the petals of the middle rose, causing it to lose its brightness.
"Huh?" Amy asked as she touched it's petals, causing it's brightness to come back to life.
"That is the weirdest thing I've ever scene in my whole life" Sticks said receiving an agreeing nod from Amy.
"Yo Shadow, we need your help over here real quick" Vector called out from the courtyard.
With a 'hmph' Shadow stood up and walked away toward Vector.
"So Amy, now that we're alone, I'ma ask you something and your gonna answer with sincerity!"
"What is it Sticks?"
"So what's up with you and Master Sonic anyway? I've never seen your face light up for a guy that much since you had a crush on Dexter"
"WE DO NOT SPEAK OF DEXTER THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" Amy scolded as Sticks giggled.
"What EVER just answer my question" Sticks asked as she lightly punched Amy.
"Promise not to tell anyone?" Amy asked, not realizing that a certain chipmunk was watching.
"My lips are locked, so, do you like him or not?!"
Amy quietly looked at her and nodded slowly.
Sticks squealed as Amy fringed and covered her ears.
"OMG I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW ITTTTTTTT! I KNEW IT EVER SINCE YOU SAW HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE BAKERY!"
Sally, who was watching them, nodded at the fact that both Sonic and Amy had feelings for each other.
"I can't believe Fiona couldn't deliver such EASY information"
Sally walked away and began walking through the courtyard.
"There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere!"
"Fiona?"
"Where have you been Sally?!"
"I'm completing my orders, what have YOU been up to?" Sally shot back as Fiona blushed in embarrassment.
"Look, don't play that card with me! Winning Master Sonic's trust is harder than you think"
"It's hard because of the way you treat the other servants!"
"Huh?"
"Think about it Fiona, maybe if you were much kinder to Amy and all the others and actually tried ACTING and PLAYING the good girl card, maybe you would've figured out the location to the ashes years ago!"
"Well it's too late for that princess don't you think I've noticed! I've noticed that already but it's too late to try to all of a sudden act nice, so why try?"
"Fine, then I'll play that card" Sally said as she headed toward the back of the castle.
"Where are you going!?" Fiona asked.
"Italy, I need to give Master Scourge the latest information"
"Well what if Master Sonic finds out your missing?"
"Stall him, duh" Sally said as she rolled her eyes at Fiona's uselessness.
"Going to Italy won't be necessary Sally" the girls heard a voice state.
Scourge floated down next to Sally and asked her,
"I came to speak to Sonic, as well as speaking to you two. Any status updates."
"Actually Master, yes there is"
"Well, shoot"
"Master Sonic brought two mortals into the castle not too long ago, apparently one is actually the all famous Antoine that Master Sonic has been traumatized about. He's extremely old and the other girl he brought in is apparently the pink hedgehog's friend. Who is also a mortal"
"Woah hold the phone! Amy Rose is a mortal!?"
"Apparently"
"How come I couldn't sniff her blood?"
"Tails put an anecdote in all three of them so they wouldn't get discovered by other vampires"
"Interesting, I could use that to my advantage. Anything else?"
"Turns out that pink hedgehog and Master Sonic have feelings for each other that neither one nor the other know about"
Scourge evilly smiled and looked at the castle.
"Now that's gossip I wanna hear, as for the mortals, we'll have no choice but to keep quiet and pretend we don't know anything. It'd be easier to get more information that way. Anything else?"
"The Blackshade are slowly dying, only one remains vivid. And the only time it can get brighter is when Amy touched it, as a matter of fact, it seems to get brighter when Master Sonic touches it too"
"Wait. Did you just say that the Blackshade are dying?"
"Yes"
Scourge smiled evilly, "Perfect, that's a sign that the creature is coming to life, keep a close eye on that Blackshade for me. Now as for the glowing, that's simply a sign of Amy and Sonic's love for each other, which comes to our advantage"
"What the hell are you talkin' about now Scourge?" Fiona asked.
"Sally, I want you to win Sonic's trust and separate him from Amy as much as possible, not only will you be getting information, but you'll be weakening him too"
"Yes sir"
"Good, now I must go, lots to talk about to the old blue 'friend'"
And with that, Scourge headed into the castle.
"Sonic you should ask her to a romantic date!" Tails beamed toward Sonic.
"No way! Tails, you more than anyone know I'm not good with all that romantic mushy stuff"
"That's pretty obvious to us Sonic the Hedgehog"
Sonic groaned as he turned and noticed Scourge laying on the window sill.
"What do you want?" Sonic asked.
"Oooooo well someones feisty" Scourge said as he acted offended while laying a hand on his heart.
"So Sonic, aren't you gonna introduce me to Antoine" Scourge said as he motioned toward Antoine.
"How'd you find out?"
"Everyone knows Sonic, and by the way Antoine I just have a complaint or two about Sonic"
Sonic groaned as Antoine curiously looked at Scourge.
"Ever since you two separated this foo has been a MESS and I mean a MESS! He'd cry day and night over you like a little girl"
"Scourge." Sonic threatened but was ignored as Scourge continued.
"I tried to get him to be outgoing but he ALWAYS spent his time locked up in a castle feeling sorry for himself, and I was like 'hey man, get a grip, have some fun' but he'd always look at me with that stupid hater look and I'd be like chillll man, I'm just trying to get you out there. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk"
Antoine looked at Scourge oddly and asked, "I assume that this is one of your other friends Sonic?"
"He's NOT a friend"
"Your just salty cause you know I can steal yo' girl oh what's her name, Amy? She's pretty hot"
Sonic suddenly snapped and banged Scourge on the wall, "Don't speak of Amy in that format!"
"Calm down anger problems your as mad as Bob when he doesn't get his afternoon drink"
"Bob?" Sonic asked.
"This new recruit I recruited not too long ago, but that's not the point, the point is that hopefully now that Antoine is here, he can get you to get your freaken crap together"
Sonic rolled his eyes, "Are you done ranting?"
"Yes I'm done, it was nice meeting you Antoine, farewell Tails, and arrivederci Sir Sonic the Angry"
"Get out."
"Alright alright I'm leavin' but I'm serious about stealin' yo girl" Scourge laughed and flew away as Sonic growled.
"He seems... interesting..." Antoine said receiving a nod from Tails.
"He's the master of the vampires in Italy, the most cocky and annoying one too, don't mind him" Sonic said as he turned toward the door.
"I'm sure I won't" Antoine muttered to himself while following Sonic.
Scourge flew down toward Amy and Sticks as they glanced at the roses.
"Well if it isn't my favorite pink hedgehog"
"Master Scourge!?"
"Yes it is I. Your prince charming" Scourge said as he kissed Amy's hand, receiving a blush from her muzzle.
Sticks scrunched up her nose, there was just somethin' about this guy she did not like.
"What are you doing here?" Amy asked.
"Oh you know just browsin' around, who's your friend?"
"Oh, Master Scourge this is Sticks and Sticks this is Master Scourge, the master of the vampires in Italy" Amy said as Sticks waved.
"Nice to meet you Sticks" Scourge said as Sticks awkwardly nodded.
'Yup, there's somethin' fishy about this guy'
"So Amy are you still thinking about my offer"
"Mmmmm I think I'm better off staying here"
"Well if you change your mind just call me over, the offer will always be available"
"Thank you Master Scourge, for always being so kind"
"Anything for someone as cute as yourself" Scourge said receiving another blush from Amy and a snort from Sticks.
"Well I must be off now, I got things to do back in Italy, it was nice seeing you again Amy and it was very nice meeting you Sticks" Scourge said as he began floating.
"Au revoir Master Scourge" Amy said.
"Arrivederci, Amy"
