Amy didn't know what to think about the words she had let come out of her mouth, soon after hearing her enticing tale the green hedgehog only laughed as he felt like she was only fibbing to get him to release her, to be free once more.  Her efforts were a fail as she watched him shake his head.

"You are quite the story teller." the green hedgehog mumbled as he kicked off his boots and removed a belt that was around his waist, "I might have to get you to tell me more of these interesting tales."

"But its not a tale." Amy sighed, "Its the truth."

Scourge patted her head once more, "It was a bed time story, nothing more nothing less. You did say you'd comply, but that didn't mean I was going to believe your far fetched tale."

Amy's head only hug, "I can not believe this." She mumbled under her breath, He is just as hard headed as the one she knew off.

 "Arrogant, self centered and-"

Scourge's eyes pierced through her as she looked back up, "I am sitting right here Rose, and the last thing I need is to have your tail again."

Amy shut up. Why would he not believe her? I mean she explained her situation fully, thoroughly, and clearly to him.  It was no use, she had only hoped that this nightmare would end and she'd be back to her normal life.  Something then hit her. She had been wanting excitement in her life, but this way wasn't the way she wanted it.

"Well you need to get some rest rose." The green hedgehog patted her once more before pulling back his covers, "You learn to behave properly then you might get to sleep in this bed by my side."   He then grinned, flashing the sharp smile that he was well known for sending chills thought he pink hedgehog's body.

"I... I think I'm fine."

He only smirked slightly. Before reaching over and turning the dimmer on the oil lamp, "Get Some sleep." he ordered, before the flame went completely out.

Amy only stared into the darkness as she felt the movements of Scourge's body turning over before finally settling down. Amy sighed ajusting the leash that was near her to where she would not roll around and cause it to choke her in her sleep.  Ridiculous this thing was, she had now been degraded to a pet, one with no means of escape.  A single tear slipped down her cheek as she slowly pulled the blanket over her body, the cloth pulling up her gown, but she adjusted it to where it went back over her knees.  Curling up, Amy signed once more, and shut her eyes. Wishing she'd never have to wake up again.

That wasn't the case though. What it has seemed only a few minutes a small stream of light that was coming between the curtains that were draped over the wall was now shining in her eyes. The morning sun, it felt like she was an ant and a nasty little kid was holding a magnifying glass and trying to fry her.

Amy stirred quickly covering her face with the blanket, but was re awoken with a surprise as she felt Scourge's hand grab the top of her blanket and yank it off, instantly causing the cold air to hit her, making her quickly curl up in the fetal position.

"Time to awaken Rose." The green hedgehog's voice seemed more calm than agitated. Amy growled, but lifted herself up to see he had taken her leash off.

"Alright, I'm going to make a small deal with you Rose." stated Scourge, "I hate seeing you with the leash on, in my honest opinion, now, I know you can't do any duties with it on, SO I'm going to tell you whats what. Now stand up."

Amy sat up slowly letting her legs hang off the side of the silken bed sheet covered bed, she then stood slowly as he placed his hand on her back making her jump.

"First off." He walked her toward the window and pulled the curtains back revealing the large window, flooding light into the room, "This is my Kingdom. My rules. Its not an eye sore though I will tell you that Rose. Take a Look."

Looking out the window, and adjusting her eyes, she could see he wasn't lying, the view was amazing. Her gaze was cast over a series of vast hills, and small mansions scattered here and there. In the distance she could see a large wall and the wooden gate she had arrived into this place from. She could tell they were high up, because she was able to see over the whole castle court yard, that had flower beds and various stone fountains that was overflowing into large basins.  In the distance, past the wall she could also see the small outline of the forest she had awaken in as well, which was larger than she thought.

Her gaze turned back to Scourge, "Its beautiful."

"Yes, well, at first with my reign no one believed in a Slavery system, but as you can see things are well kept, and quite nice."  Scourge eyed Amy, "Well except for the slaves of course."

So cruel.

"Well today's your lucky day Rose," stated Scourge, "I'll be showing you around the castle, so you can know whats what. Now I'm not going to put your leash on, but the collar is a signal to every one here that you are mine, so don't try escaping, or you will be brought back."  His face became stern, "And after last night I don't think you want to go through that again, would you?"

Amy nodded. He was right, she could still feel the pain of those many lashes he gave her, and only hoped she didn't have to deal with his wrath again.
The green hedgehog walked over toward his dresser and pulled out a dark black colored tunic and a pair of black leather pants. "So far there is not a single ordinance I have to deal with today, so I don't have worry about dressing too fancy."

Amy turned her head as she heard the green hedgehog unbuttoning his brown pants. She could hear him stepping out of them, chuckling as he placed his newly picked attire out.  "You might as well get used to it Rose."  laughed Scourge, "You seem like you've never seen any one in the nude other than yourself."

The pink hedgehog looked back at Scourge as she watched him placing a pair of black leather gloves on, her ears flattened. That was one of the things that was actually true. She hadn't been around any one other than herself, not that it really mattered though.

"I can see the look on your face," stated the green hedgehog, "Your expression is enough."  He walked over placing his hand under her chin, "We will change that soon enough."   He chuckled darkly, "Come on Rose, lets get you in a better attire as well."

"But I  thought."

"Its a night attire you have on. You have multiple outfits you know? Its the perks of being my chosen."  Scourge cooed as he walked slowly over toward the chest at the foot of his bed, "I don't expect much from you today Rose, but starting tomorrow that is when things will change."

He lifted up revealing a dark green outfit that was a once pieced dress that's hip area was missing and a golden threaded section where looked like a built in bra with straps that went around her neck. Amy thought it looked quite skimpy, actually more skimpy than the gown he gave her last night.

Amy didn't even let him ask, she just lifted her arms and looked in the opposite direction so she wouldn't have to see him eye her again. It was enough to know her predicament, with out the other fact knowing she was now eye candy to him. "Get it over with."

"You are learning quick."   Amy felt his hands grab the base of her gown as he lifted it over her pink furred body. His hand ran up the side of her hip, as she jumped quickly looking at him cutting a look but looked away again as she saw him smirking at her, his blue eyes glowing translucently contrasting with his green skin and quills.  He chuckled once more before slipping on the new dress, one that actually seemed like one a slave in her position would wear.  I almost feel bad that my other chosen grew gravely ill.

What? Her eyes widened, almost? Was he so blinded by his ego that he didn't care for the others that was under his care?  Amy mentally marked a tally, with that being another thing she hated about the green hedgehog.

"Alright, come on Rose, I guess you want to get out of this room don't you?"  Scourge held his hand out asking Amy to take it.

Rolling her eyes the pink hedgehog grasped the green hedgehog's hand reluctantly. He was right, she wanted not out of this room, but this whole world, but that wasn't going to happen any time soon.

Nodding, he started walking her toward the door, opening it he smiled.

"Then lets go."
