Two photos came out
"This should be enough..." They whispered and ran into the forest
The Next Day
He ran through the castle halls as quick as they could
"I was suppose to report yesterday... but it was way too late!"
He ran as fast as he could
"Hm?"
Cream and Tail were passing by and they looked at him, he seemed suspicious
"Who's that?"
Cream shrugged and continued walking, her eyes widened and turned around when she realized the direction he was heading
"H-He's going into the Queens room!"
-
"...Have you done what I told you?"
"Y-Yes" He bowed before her and walked up to her handing her pictures and the newspaper from the other day,
The newspaper had Amy in the cover, and the pictures were of Sonic and Amy's kiss
She grunted and crumbled the newspaper throwing everything on the floor
"So this is what he's been up to"
There was a long pause, she looked at the floor thinking then back at him
"You... I need you to do one last job"
"What...?"
She walked up to him and whispered in his ear, His eyes widened and he stepped back
"I-I can't do that... No...No! I won't do that, no way!-"
She grinned
"You wouldn't want your family being executed would you?"
She turned around and sat down in her chair, she grabbed an item near by rapped around in black cloth and handed it to him
"So?"
He gulped, looking down at the floor thinking
"I don't have all day, If you won't do it, there are plenty of others who I could threaten and get them to do as I wish... And if they don't" She pointed and dragged her finger along her neck "Death. You aren't the first... and most certainly won't be the last, so... What will it be?"
His hand shook, and he reached out taking the item
"I'll do it..."
"Good choice" She smirked "The wedding is next week, You'll do it after it's over, but if anything happens... you do it right there and then no matter who is watching got that?"
"Yes... "
"Very well, you are dismissed"
He bowed down once again and left
-
"You aren't the first... And you most certainly won't be that last"
These words played again over and over in his head as he walked in the hallways
"Not the first... Or last? Just how many people has she done this too. How many people will she do this too... How many people have died?"
His hands still shaking, looking around if there was anyone, he took out the item again and stared down at it
"I don't want to... no I don't! But my family... I can't-"
"Yo."
He flinched
"Wh-What? There was no one there before..."
He quickly hid the item and turned around
Shadow, was standing behind him. There was a long pause
"Who are you... And what were you doing in the Queens room?"
"How did he-"
He looked behind him, Cream was shaking behind the door
"It's that girl from earlier, she must have told-"
"Answer. Now."
"It was for business matters"
"You sure don't look like a business man to me-"
"I-I gotta go-"
Shadow grabbed him and pushed him up on the wall
"Hey!"
"I know that isn't your purpose... I can see fear in your eyes, now. Tell.Me"
"P-P-Please....Put Me..D-Down... You're... Ch-Choking...Me...!" He said between breathes
"SHADOW!" Amy ran up to them "PUT HIM DOWN, NOW"
"Tch..."
BOOM
He dropped to the ground gasping for air
"Amyyy!" Cream ran to her hugging her and crying "I-I didn't know what to do! I'm sorry he looked really suspicious so I told shadow but I didn't know it would turn out like this!"
Amy rubbed her head
"Calm down Cream..."
She looked at Shadow
"What the hell were you doing?!"
He walked off
"Hey!..."
He looked up at her,
"This girl...She's the one from-"
Amy crouched down and extended her hand
"Are you ok?" She smiled
"This is the girl... from the other day"
He quickly got up and ran away
"Whats wrong with him?" She got up
"I saw him going into the queen's room before"
Amy's eyes widened
"The queen...?"
