Blackshade
Chapter 22: Gaining His Trust
SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Okay, let me explain what's going on.
Junior year is tough especially with all these AP Courses I'm taking so that takes a lot of time.
I'm not dead xD Just busy.
I decided to make this my Thanksgiving Break Project and let me say that I won't finish by the time I go back to school.
So you'll have to wait until Christmas Break because finals are hectic and I won't have time for anything.
Just a heads up :)
Without further a doo, let's begin :)
"Alright, next thing on the list is Master Sonic's room" Sally read as she completed her chores.
She opened the door and noticed Antoine looking over towards the horizon.
He turned and noticed Sally walking in with the cleansing products.
"Oh, I'm sorry I'll come back later" Sally said but Antoine stopped her.
"No, it's quite alright, I'll stay by the balcony so that I won't bother you"
Sally softly smiled and began making the bed.
Antoine sensed a bright light coming from the Blackshades in the courtyard.
He leaned down, not knowing that he was slowly slipping.
"WOAHHHHHH" Antoine yelled as he held on to the edge of the balcony, not wanting to fall.
Amy, who was in the courtyard noticed Antoine hanging on for dear life on Sonic's balcony.
"HELPPPPPPPPP" Antoine yelled.
Amy gasped and ran into the castle.
"MASTER SONICCCCCCCC"
"What is it Amy?" Sonic asked as he interrupted his conversation with Tails.
"Monsieur Antoine, *pant* HE'S GOING TO FALL OFF YOUR BALCONY!"
Sonic's eyes widened as he ran towards his room.
Sally dropped her products and ran towards Antoine.
"HELP, PLEASE!" Antoine cried.
"Don't move! I'll save you."
She flew off the balcony and picked him up.
"Let go"
"But..."
"Just trust me!"
Antoine obliged and let go.
He closed his eyes as he and Sally hovered over the balcony and she safely landed him on the floor.
"ANTOINE!" Sonic yelled as he barged into the room with Tails and Amy trailing behind.
"Don't worry Sonic, I'm safe and sound thanks to this wonderful young lady"
Sally smiled in appreciation as Sonic walked up to her.
"Thank you so much, I don't know what would have happened if it wasn't for you," Sonic said as he grabbed both her hands and gave her a soft smile.
She looked into his eyes and blushed, boy his eyes are breath taking.
"It was no problem really" she said as he let go of her hands.
"No problem? You saved his life, he's not only important to Master Sonic but to me too, thank you, from all of us," Amy smiled as Sally felt a pang in her heart.
She's so nice, how could I possibly hurt her... no... I must stay loyal to Scourge.
Sonic looked at Amy in admiration as she spoke her words.
"Thank you Miss..."
"Sally," Sally told Antoine as she smiled at him.
After the great freak out, everyone returned back to their positions.
"You have got to be kidding me, why did you even bother?" Fiona rolled her eyes as she scolded Sally.
"I wasn't going to let him fall"
"What and ever," Fiona swayed her hair as she walked away, causing Sally to shake her head at her.
"Sally can I speak with you?" Sonic asked as he went up to Sally.
Sally jumped as she turned around and faced him.
"Of course Master"
Sonic motioned for her to keep walking as she smiled and obliged.
"You know, you've been here for a while and we never got to know each other"
Sally said nothing, she didn't know what to say.
"Where are you from Sally?"
"Ummm..."
Crap...
"You said you were a vampire from a separate kingdom and that your master abandoned you, what kingdom was it exactly?"
"...Master Bauque from Switzerland..."
Well I tried...
"That's understandable, Master Bauque has been quite off these past few centuries"
Phew, I thank the fact that I hung around Scourge.
"Tell me about yourself, what are your hobbies, interests, and likings?" Sonic asked as he looked at her.
"Well, I like to read, I'm really good when it comes to strategizing combat, and I love listening to Tchaikovsky..."
"You like Tchaikovsky!?"
"Yes, his music is inspiring in a sense of imagination and relaxation, when I listen to his music, I close my eyes and imagine a perfect world in my head"
"No way! So do I! Tchaikovsky is a legend! What's your favorite piece by him?"
"The Swan Lake Ballet, it's smooth and beautiful to listen to" she was actually speaking to Sonic as if she'd known him forever.
I've never spoken this way with Scourge
"That's my friend Antoine's favorite piece, sometimes he would literally grab a group of classmates and act out the play with that soundtrack, he was obsessed!"
Sally and Sonic laughed at the thought of Antoine trying to direct a play.
Amy and Blaze walked through the halls and noticed Sally and Sonic laughing and speaking with one another.
"Uh oh" Blaze muttered.
Amy frowned, "I wonder what they're talking about"
"Probably nothing important, I wouldn't worry Amy" Blaze smiled but noticed that Amy was still frowning.
"She's really pretty..."
Blaze looked at Amy in realization.
"Are you jealous?"
"What!? No of course not, it's nice that he's making friends," Amy blushed as she waved her hands back and forth.
"Real good friends if I do say so myself," Fiona smugly smiled as she walked up to Amy and Blaze.
"What now Fiona?" Blaze asked.
"Think about it, Sally is drop dead gorgeous and Amy... well... isn't. Did you really think he would fall for a MORTAL like you, HA, I wouldn't hold my breath"
Amy frowned and bit her bottom lip.
"He's one of the most powerful vampires in the world, and you're just a mortal, there's no chance whatsoever"
"Fiona do you ever take a break?" Blaze angrily yelled.
"No way, this is too fun! But I'll leave you two losers alone so that Amy could let it sink in," and with that, Fiona walked the other way.
"She's such a no good... ugh never mind. Don't listen to her Amy," Blaze turned but realized that Amy wasn't there.
Amy ran outside to the courtyard and sat next to the Blackshade, tears flowing down her eyes.
Flashback
"What did you get on Mrs. Mccorkle's test Amy?"
"I got an F"
"Woah princess what happened there?"
"Dexter, I couldn't concentrate okay... and you know why..."
Amy's eyes started filling with tears.
"Honestly Amy when are you going to report that guy?"
"Bob may be a monster but he's still my dad, and I don't want to end up in a foster home"
"Okay, well, I understand that but we're juniors, you turn 18 in two years, report him then"
"I can't..."
"Gosh Amy you're such a drag sometimes"
"Wait, what?"
"This is why I can't love you, you slow me down. The only reason I've been sticking around you is because I pity you."
Amy stood agape, she couldn't believe that the love of her life was telling her this.
"Look, I think you got the wrong idea, I never liked you, you must've mistaken my kindness for something more"
Amy was on the verge of tears.
"Look, I'm sorry, I really am. But just for future reference, never mistake a guy's kindness for love because that'll just lead you into pain. If a guy is being extra kind to you that must mean he's just pitying you. I'm sorry Amy," and with that, Dexter walked away, leaving Amy in a pit of sadness.
"That jerk! He's right... Fiona's right... Sonic has probably been pitying me this whole time... and here I thought I had a chance..."
Suddenly Amy felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Amy are you okay?"
She turned and noticed Tails stand before her.
"Yeah um, I was just reminiscing some memories, heh"
Tails frowned, "You know Sonic cares about you right?"
"Huh?"
"Sonic cares about you more than you think, never forget that"
"Yeah I know, he pities me..."
"Pities you? Amy it's much more than that"
"How would you know?"
"Because I'm Sonic's best friend. I should know."
Amy looked at Tails and he winked at her, he then walked away.
"Boy I sure hope he's right..."
