{Sonic} A Medieval Story

A Love to Bear

The door flies open, and an enraged Rouge comes flying in. She growls, "There she is! Nowhere to run now, ya little thief!" Cream rushes behind Amy in panic. Scourge groans in exhaustion, "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!"

Rouge flies after Cream, who quickly flies away from her. With both of them flying around the hut, Scourge became angrier by the second. He grabs a broom from the corner of the room, then swats Rouge to the ground.

Rouge rubs her head while Cream flies behind Amy. Rouge frowns at Scourge, "What the hell did you do that for, you ape?!" Scourge scoffs, "Oh, I'm the ape? You almost wrecked my shop with those cursed wings! And I don't suppose you'd like to help me clean this mess?" She laughs as she slowly stands up, "No, I don't suppose I would."

Amy folds her arms, "Why are you tearing up his shop anyway?" "Yeah!" Scourge says as he sweeps his floor.

Rouge grits her teeth, "Because of that little urchin you're hiding behind your back." Cream cowers behind Amy, "I-I-I don't know what you're talking about!" Rouge shoved Amy to the side, "Enough games! Return what is mine or meet the sharp end of my blade. Your choice."

Amy shakes her head, "Okay, I'm still confused." Shade chuckles, "Apparently, this rabbit stole gold from Mobius' greatest thief." Rouge huffs at her, "Do not start, Shade. Because I am the greatest thief, I know when I'm being robbed. Her little 'sweet' act is not fooling me. Now, hand it over."

Blaze folds her arms, "Rouge, can't you see this is a little absurd?" Rouge snarls at her, "Blaze, perhaps you've seen that kind of magic in your sorcery world; however, in the real world, my gold would not have sprouted legs and run off." "You haven't even asked her. You just assumed she stole it because she was a street beggar." Rouge holds Cream up by her shirt, "No. It was because she was the last person we spoke with before it went missing. Perhaps, she found my not offering her money to be offensive. Thus, she plotted to steal what was mine. Whatever the reason, I know she took it."

Shade rolls her eyes, "I mean, can you blame her? You called her a peasant, then jiggled your bag of gold in her face." Rouge growls, "Quiet! If she refuses to return my property, then so be it."

Amy folds her arms and watches in silence. Cream shakes in fear, "Please don't kill me...I-I-I truly don't know what you're t-t-talking about. I didn't take anything!" Rouge chuckles, "Allow me to lay some insight. Let your last words have more meaning." She presses her blade on Cream's throat, "So...what do you wish your last words to be?"

Cream looks around the room with pleading eyes. She locks her sights on Scourge, who is still sweeping the store. She thinks for a moment, then gasps, "I-I practice medicine! R-Real powerful medicine. I can help your wife."

Scourge scoffs, "Call her that again, and she might heal herself." Cream frowns, "What if she doesn't? Rumor says an illness is spreading around Mobius, a deadly one. I-If I could look her over, maybe I can help. Please?" Amy smirks at Scourge, "Rosy has been sick for days. Do you truly want to clean for the rest of your life?"

Scourge drops the broom, "Oh, spare me, Amelia. I've never heard of such an illness. And on the off chance that was to be the case, I do not allow Rosy to be in Mobius without my knowledge. The gorgeous idiot got sick after falling into a nearby swamp."

Cream grew nervous, "W-W-Well, I can still help. My medicine is like no other, this, I swear." Scourge evilly smiles, then strolls over to her, "You swear it?" He glances at Rouge, still holding her blade, then looks back at her, "Would you stake your life on it?"
