Red and the Beast

Escape

Locke hugs his son once more before he sets to leave the palace. "I can't wait for the wedding my son. Just promise me you'll write?" Locke asked and knuckles nods. "I will father and honestly I have to thank you for letting me come with you. I wouldn't have found the love of my life." Knuckles smiled. "Actually to be honest I didn't want to let you come but Mrs. Avery opened my eyes and convinced me. After seeing your face I knew she was right and I was foolish and let my own fear of losing you and Manson the way I lost your mother blinded me. She deserves your gratitude for finding your love and your happiness not me." Locke said tearing up. "Father you still could've not had me come but you still did so you still played a part. I can't wait to see you at my wedding and I hope you let me wear your brooch mother made you." Knuckles replied. "I shall make it so my boy" Locke said and hugged his son once more and leaves the castle.

Meanwhile back at the village in a jail cell.

"UGH! How the hell did he find out my plans!" Manson kicks the empty cup. "Guess all that reading has made him smart" said the purple chameleon. "I was able to trick him he isn't that smart!" "Perhaps he heard you leave and followed you then heard us" said the green hedgehog. "We are still getting those riches because once i become more wealthy then Driza will finally be mine!" He growled. "Driza? The bakers daughter?" The green hedgehog asked. "That's my sister's friend and she's getting married to a count" he said and this only angers Manson. "WHAT?!" He said. "Well she will change her mind once I become the prince!" Manson said. "Good luck with that you can count us out" the chameleon said. "Yeah good luck" the green hedgehog said. Manson growled at them before laying on his cell bed.
Night falls and Manson double checked his cell mates were asleep and sees the guard asleep outside of the cell. "Perfect" he snicker and uses the pole from his bed and loops the keys on it. He grabs the keys and unlocks the cell quietly before running out of the jail. "Now baby brother your wealth is mine" he thought as he highjacked a jail horse and rode off into the night.

"I'm coming knuckles and I'm going to kill you and your little prince!"
