Civilians

Flying at top speed, or rather, as fast as he could go with the others, Blue raced towards White Bride.
"Are you sure you know where we're going, Puro shouted to Sora, who showed her the phone,
"Got the sat-nav sister," he announced, almost dropping Christmas, who was pretty sick and tired of all of this flying. He wasn't one for speed, nor heights.

About ten minutes later and they passed the sign welcoming people to the village, Blue surprised to find it quite small and quiet. Of course the Manor House was easily spotted, Blue landing a few streets away.
"Why are we stopping here? Shouldn't we just continue?" Puro questioned, Blue shaking his head.
"No, if we just ran up to the house guns blazing, they would draw attention to ourselves. We need to sneak in as quietly as we can, find Sonic, and get out of there before this 'George' notices." Blue told the gang, all three nodding in agreement.
"Well, your in luck. If it's one thing this wolf does best, it's being quiet and unseen. That, and catching Pokémon," he admitted, giving Puro a plan.
"I have an idea!" She announced, "let Christmas go ahead, and look through the windows and see if he can spot where Sonic is,"
Nodding, Blue motioned for Christmas to go, the lanky wolf easily scaling the wall, falling silently into the snow at the other side, before rushing over to the house and taking cover in the shadows.

"For someone wearing massive chunky boots, he sure can be sneaky," Sora commented, watching as the wolf looked through an open window blocked by bars, before picking up a stone and throwing it in, whispering into it.

"Boy what a night," Sonic muttered to himself, picking himself from the floor, before noticing a tall, wide figure staring right into his eyes.
"Gah!" He almost fell over in shock, hearing a light voice laugh.
"I didn't mean to scare you!" Sonic recognized the voice as the maid from the night before, the one that made sure that he ate, "I just wanted to bring you some food! Master says he wants to keep you in the best shape possible. So think of it in the bright side, you get three big meals a day." She laughed, but deep down, she felt bad for the guy.
I'm pretty sure that keeping Möbians as possessions is illegal even though their not human. Ever way, this isn't right. Poor guy saves our side of the world all the time and this is how people treat him. Maybe I should find someone else to work for.

Sonic took the plate gratefully and was surprised to find it was a full Spagonian Breakfast. Shocked, he looked up at the woman.
"Don't question it, just be glad the chef is a nice dude. I should know. She's my wife. Soon as we have enough money, we're out of here, and we'll start our one family." She explained. In a way, she was glad that she had someone to talk it out to. George was a horrible, greedy, spoilt man who only liked his money and his collection. He didn't even care if one of his 'collectibles' was a living breathing creature.

Looking back at the stuff that he'd been allowed, he looked back at the kind-hearted person, "It was you, wasn't it?"
"Come again?"
"It was you who made sure I had water and something to sleep on,"
She nodded, "Yes. I couldn't bear to see anyone be left alone down here in the dark and cold. I knew that even if they had the thickest fur, they'd still catch their death down here,"

The way this woman acted saddened Sonic. It reminded him of Orbot and Cubot, and how they'd gone behind their cruel master's back and had made sure that he was warm and had been well fed and had given him water, and had even dressed whatever wounds his captors had given him that day. If it wasn't for them, he knew would have died. For six whole months they'd done this.
"Don't you worry," he finally said, "Once I break free, you and your wife are coming with me. I'll see to it myself that you are treated to the finest hotel room until you can find a home. And I'll see to it myself that you don't pay a single cent and I'll make sure the both of you get the best jobs you can, I promise," he held out his pinky
