{Sonic} A Medieval Story

You Can't Kill a Renegade

*Long chapter warning* (I hope you guys still enjoy it <3)

Amy jolts upright with a heavy gasp. She quickly looks around in fear, beginning to hyperventilate.

What once was a smoky, dried-out, dark cave was now a bright, cloudy, empty area. She looks down and notices her body is faded out. She begins to panic when she doesn't see anyone in sight. She grips the part of her chest where she was stabbed and tears up.

She shakes her head, "...What have I done...? What have I done? How could I be so foolish?!" She clenches her fist, "I acted without thinking...again! What is wrong with me? Why am I panicking so much?!"

Amy grips her head, "Do not let emotion take over, Amelia. Be smart, Amelia. Be quick, Amelia! Breathe...Amelia." She grits her teeth and breathes heavily, "Merek is still alive...Everyone on the field is going to die...because of me. My girls...all those kingdoms...Sonic...they're all going to die because of me!" She shakes her head, "I...don't even know where I am. Or...maybe I do...but I...I can't be. I-I shouldn't be here! I can't leave them." She curls into herself, sobbing.

"Such a shame. So young and carries the fate of the nation on her shoulders. I wouldn't wish such a fate on even my worst enemies." Amy slowly looks up at the figure speaking to her and flinches.

He smiles at her, "Not even when my enemy happens to be my saviour." Amy shakes her head, "K...K...K-King Jules?" Jules spreads his arms, "The one and only..." Amy, not knowing what to do, bows before him, lowering her head, "Your majesty...your majesty...?! I-I...I-I don't know what to say..."

Jules chuckles, "Come now, Amelia. I think we're both past that now. I'm sure you know by now that we're essentially family." Amy slowly looks up at him with tears streaming down her face, "But I...I...I k-killed you. I-I lied to you...I deceived you...and..." He wraps his arms around her, rubbing her back. "Oh, Amelia...there, there...it's okay." "No! No, it's not okay! I killed you...I ruined everything...I lied and...and..."

She trails off as she sees him silently smiling at her. She frowns and sighs, "And you knew all of that already. You said that...right?" He nods, "Yes, I knew."

Amy shakes her head, "Before I...I k-killed you...you said you knew since the coronation who I was. If you knew I was a renegade, w-why didn't you say anything? My girls and I...we were meant to steal the crown that night. Had Merek not shown, we would have succeeded...so why?" Jules frowns, "At the time, I had no idea you were renegades. I didn't even know the Renegades were women; I had no idea what your intentions were that night. The whole false kingdom and false identity, I was curious about the reason behind it all."

Jules shakes his head, "What I said prior to my passing, about how I thought you were dead, that was true. It had been years since I heard the news about your parents' deaths. There was never a mention of what became of you after...and you were so young at the time. I merely assumed the worst. It's not like I could send a search for the daughter of the man Mobius believed to be the traitor. I couldn't risk it. So I grieved. And I grieved for each of you...for so long."

Amy frowns and lowers her head. Jules chuckles, "And then...I saw you at the coronation. It felt as though my heart were going to explode. Seeing you there, alive...you looked the same as the day you were born. Born with your mother's beauty, but you got your father's eyes."
