Lina: We don't own any of these characters except for Kiya nad her brother. Sega owns the rest!
She blinked a few times, no longer smelling the bitter scent of alcohol. What had happedned? Amy heard a pain groan below her, and the drunken man that attacked her was one the floor, blood flowing out of his nose. What had happened?
"Miss?" The voice asked again.
Amy tried to look up at her mysterious hero, but her accursed hood hid his face from view. Would it be alright if she just bid him thanks? Kiya had specifically said to not talk to any stranger, and this man was just that, a stranger. But he was her hero too, wasn't he? Just a glance wouldn't do any harm would it?
No, she had promised to her sister that she would stay clear of any uninvited persons and a promise is something that she would keep. Without any second though Amy stood up and turned around, starting to walk in the other direction, ignoring him just like how Kiya told her to. But he was much faster than her and placed his hand on her shoulder, turning her around. "I'm fine." She yelled, he face still obstructed from view. She pulled her shoulder away from his grasp and began to walk away again when she felt her hood come off.
It slipped of her head, presenting her bright pink quills into the night. "Hey! What's your problem?" Amy barked. She blazing eyes she turned to look at this pestering man, but those fires cooled into ice at the sight she saw. A blue hedgehog with emerald green eyes was looking at her with a shocked look on his face, mirroring the expression of her own. His quills were spiked to perfection, and his pale skin glowed a warm orange from the lamp light.
His emerald eyes were bouncy and fun, greener than the evergreen fields of Alfieri. His grin opened into a shocked "O" and his eyes shone something so familiar.
"Who are you?" She asked, feeling as if she'd met him before. She had known she hadn't met this man, heck; the only people she had ever known in her life were her brother and sister along with a few other royals and nobility.
"I'm Sonic…and you are?" He only stared at her. His voice was energetic yet cauticious, rolling of his tongue so sweetly like candy.
She wasn't sure if she could trust him with her name, but something in her head was telling Amy it was OK." Amy…..My name is Amy." There was an awkward silence. It was grabbing her by the neck and chocking her. She had to go; she couldn't take his stare much longer. Amy turned around and walked in the other direction in embarrassment.
She had felt so stupid just standing there, staring at his handsome face like a surprised deer. Wait, had she just thought he was handsome? She walked faster, knowing she had to leave now.
"Hey wait! Sonic called after her. Somehow he had ran fast enough to reach her in a split second, or was she just walking slower than she had thought. Yes, there is no way someone could run that fast. He stood in front of her, "Hey you shouldn't really run away when you're introducing yourself to someone. Why are you acting like that Ames?" he asked.
She looked at him with shocked eyes. "W-What did you call me?"
Sonic scratched the back of his head, looking up at the sky that was filled with millions of diamonds. "Well I like Ames better then Amy so I guess I just gave you a nickname." Amy walked again blushing. How does he do it? How does this man make her feel tingly inside with simple words? Oh how she yearned to stay with him and converse, but she still had to follow Kiya's orders.
"Sorry but I can't talk to strangers."She said, thinking that maybe being rude would drive him away. She walked away with her nose held high like a brat, and Kiya always said that she was so good at it.
"But I'm not a stranger! I just saved you; doesn't that put me in the friends list? "Amy stopped and walked towards him and smiled, causing Sonic to blush.' He doesn't sound like someone that would hurt me... and I really wanted to stay with him awhile… so it wouldn't hurt to talk for a bit. This trip will be a little lonely, so a friend wouldn't hurt. And I'll keep an eye on him just to make sure he is one hundred percent safe.' Thought Amy, as she continued to stare.
"So what are doing out here all alone?" asked Sonic, changing the subject. But his question was cut short of an answer when a rustling bush caught Amy's ear, making her very uneasy.
"Before I tell you I think we should get off the streets." Sonic nodded and grabbed her arm, running to the outer walls of Alfieri. The kingdom of Alfieri homed two walls, the inner, and outer. The inner protected the homes that lived closest to the castle, while the outer defended the market places' that immediately led to the forest trails.
Amy had been to the outer walls only once. She was a young child, and her mother had taken her to the outer wall to greet the soldiers and her father when they returned from war. The war with Ferias no doubt.
In the carriage she had been able to watch her people wave at them with smiles, and watch each sign slowly pass by. This image, however, was different. When Sonic grabbed her arm he bolted towards the outer wall, zooming past everything. The wind raced past her ears until finally she was outside Alfieri, standing in the grass with her hair in a mess.
"Wow your fast!" He let go of her arm and sat in the grass. She was so shocked by his speed, both impressed and bewildered. With her nimble fingers she combed down her unruly quills, soon joining him on the grass.
"OK now tell me why you were there alone at midnight." He said, pushing for the answers he wanted.
"Well I'm on my way to Ferias and I don't want my family to know." She replied.' I can't believe that I had just told him that! What if he was brothers' spies? The words just seemed to come out so easily.'
"No way! I'm the prince of Ferias!" Amy could tell that by the way he covered his mouth, that he couldn't believe what he had just said out loud as well, " I mean you shouldn't run away like that it's dangerous!" He shouted, trying to cover up the mistake he had just made. He flushed out of embarrassment, and his heart pounded out of his chest. Obliviously this girl would scream, running far from him to tell the guards that member of the royal family was in the territory. Then they would lock him up, hold him for ransom, and destroy his beloved country. But she hadn't moved. She hadn't flinched, nor did she scream. She just stared at him, more silent then the night air. Her breaths became loud and scared, ready to burst with a call to the guards, but her lips pricked into an unexpected smile filled with excitement that that then turned into confusion.
"I thought that Ferias royal families were Kitsune." She frowned. He must have been lying.
Sonic was shocked. She had practically called him a liar, and as if everything else he had thought disappeared, he said, "They are, but you see when I was a kid my parents were killed and the royal family's son, Tails, let me stay with him in his room secretly. One day they caught me but let me stay and treated me like their own son, so I became a prince like my little brother Tails." He hit himself on the head hard," AH! I wasn't supposed to tell anyone that! "
A thought bubbled up in her mind. Something both genius and dangerous that she was willing to give a try. She considered her possibilities, and debated , ' Should I tell him? He told me his secret so I might as well…I hope Kiya won't mind.'
"Can I tell you a secret?" She whispered, covering her mouth with her gloved hand. Sonic grinned and nodded. It was only fair that he knew that he was talking to a princess, and he would be a great asset to her brilliant plan.
Amy looked from side to side and leaned in, placing her hand next to his ear. Her breath was so warm and kindling in the cold air. She whispered. "I'm the Princess of Alfieri."
