ShadAmy: The Animal-Talker

Chapter 21

(Normal Pov)

At the door there stood Scourge, with guards behind him.  A smirk forms on his face as he slowly walks inside the house. The guards follows his steps and block the exit, there was no way around them. The guards approach them, taking their weapons away from them. The only thing our hero's could do was surrender to Scourge and the knights of Queen Fiona.

Sally was taken away by Scourge while the rest was dragged down to the dark and cold dungeons. Amy and Shadow were taken deeper into the dungeons and locked together in a cell, far away from everyone else. 

"The Queen has a plan for the two of you" one of the guards says, as he pushes Amy inside the cell, having her stumble and fall into Shadow's arms. Shadow helps her regain her balance and moves away from Amy, after that plan to get into the city where Amy decided to stay back. Had the two of them draw apart.

"She will be happy when she hears we have the animal-talker and the future king of Mobius right here" said another guard, as he locked the cell and walked away with the first guard. 

Shadow sat in the corner of the cell, not a care in the world. He crosses his arms and closes his eyes, his mind in a far away place. Far away from this place, all the way back home. Thinking what he could be doing if he wasn't stuck here with her.

Amy tightly held onto the bars, tears stinging her eyes. She slowly falls to the knees, her grip still on the bars. Sitting on her knees in front of the dark hallway, only thing stopping her is the metal bars she is holding onto. Thinking of a way out, she tries to summon her hammer, but is not capable of doing so.

(Shadow's Pov)

I open my eyes to see Amy sitting in front of the bars, looking down the dark hallway. I guess she is looking for an way out, but there is none. I don't see why she is even bothering about it. If there was a way out, we would be already free. I slowly stand up, and walk over to her, I sit beside her. I notice her give me a small look. I don't blame her, I did yell at her then and ignored her most of the time.

"We are stuck here, aren't we?" I hear her say, she looks over at me. Her jade green eyes are full of sadness, it's easy to see she was crying earlier on. I couldn't lie to her so I slowly nod my head. There is no way out.

She takes a deep breath and nods, she moves her gaze back to the hallway. Staring into it's darkness, you can't tell how long it is until you walk it. After a while, we both just sit there and look down the hallway. The silence was nice but it got boring after a while.

"Do you want to be king?" Amy suddenly breaks the silence, she looks over at me and moves her body so she is facing me. I do the same and sit facing her.

"Not really, too much responsibilities. I'm not ready to run Mobius, also my dad is pressuring me to find a wife. A Queen is needed as well after all." I say, she nods. Listening to what I have to say carefully.

We have a chat, getting to know each other. The time flies by faster than what you have thought, she is not that bad. I like her company, maybe even love it.
