Royal Problems (Sonadow)

21

Sonics P.O.V.
I had been locked here for a couple of days. It hadn't even been a week yet.

I had gotten the news that Shadow retired from GUN. It was his own choice, or at least that's what they are telling me. He has also not been seen since that...

Not even Rouge had seen him.

My mother never came to see me. I didnt care. I didnt even want to see her.

"Sonic." I looked up. Zeth.

"What?"

"I told you what your mother was planning. Why did you come?"

"I had a plan. But... I messed things up. I had to break up with Shadow to come here and now there is nothing for me to go back for." I was siting down. All the food given to me, I would flush down the toilet and throw it through the very small gap in the wall.

"Sonic please don't try to escape." He sighed. I knew why he said that. He had orders from my mother to stop me no matter what. He hated hurting me.

"I wouldn't do that to you. Don't worry. Just go. I promise I will stay here." I said with a fake smile.

"Maurice. I dont know what you are planning, but I hope things turn out for the best." He said with a low sigh, it hurt him to see me like this. He basically saw me as his younger sibling, I grew up with him around. He was like part of my family here at the castle. Of course it hurt him.

"So do I, man. But you know me, I always get away." I gave him a thumbs up, cheering him up as he chuckled and nodded. The echo of the footsteps and the door closing as all I heard before the room became dark again. Quiet. I could hear my broken heart still beating.

Shadow...

I hope you are okay...

I looked down at the cracked part of the bar. I kicked it once more until a sharp one came out. I was about to pick it up when my ears flickered and I looked up.

"What have you come to now, Maurice? This isn't who you are."

My mother. Standing right in front of me with tears streaming down her muzzle, dark bags under her eyes. She looked like a mess. It hurt me but, I didn't show it.

"Go away." I stood up straight. I was skinnier. I was already skinny enough but I haven't eaten in days nor drank a single drop of water.

"Why wont you just listen?" She said, her voice breaking. "I just want you to be safe!"

"Don't you get it?! This place! No matter what, I was meant to be a hero! I was never meant to be a prince, or a king! I was born in the path of a hero and that is how it will stay. I rather die than lose that title by giving up to you! I wont let you take my freedom...not anymore..." I looked up at her, standing straight and looking at her with a serious expression. "No matter what, I will never be safe. I was born to be a hero and I will keep protecting Mobious. I will not marry some princess and retire for you. Now, I will give you an option. Either you let me go, or you kill me, Mother."

She looked at me shocked. I kept glaring, not changing my expression at all. I was not afraid.

"So? Which will it be?"
