I took out the future 'lemon', seeing as though I will never write it, I deleted it from the summary. Who needs 'em anyways? Well, the fourth chapter is here, enjoy!

Sonic Growled to himself, glancing around at his new cement surroundings, on three sides, bars on one. This was not good. Not in the least.

"I need that map, an I know bloody damn well I'm not going to find it here." he thought.

He was just brought in less than an hour ago by the guards of the mansion, and they literally dragged him the entire way, punching in the gut, and possibly giving him the worst escort in history. Nothing Sonic couldn't handle though. The azure hedgehog slowly stood up, and walked to the bars, his face contorted with anger. A guard, sitting in a chair, lazily leaning his head back against the wall, snoring, was on the other side of the bars. Sonic grabbed the bars, and shook them.

"Hey!" he shouted.

The guard slowly raised his head, glaring at the blue hedgehog. From his face, Sonic could easily tell he was a coyote, brown fur with a peach muzzle, tufts of fur sticking from the sides. He was also clearly in his late twenties.

"Shut up you fool, before I give your ears a good boxing!" He shouted.

"Whatever, I'm thirsty." Sonic told him.

"And I should care, why?" The guard sneered. "Why don't you just shut it, and stop shaking those bars, or the noose will be the last thing you'll be worrying about!" he finished, shaking his fist slightly for emphasis.

Sonic sighed in agitation, but obeyed, backing from the bars, an angry grimace on his face. His bright blue eyes were now burning with anger. He silently cursed those guards, that stupid old woman.

( Flashback: one hour ago, Amy's room)

The room was silent, neither dared to speak, move, even think. That may be a slight exaggeration, but it was pretty close. Sonic then began to rapidly speed up, trying to loosen his bonds even more, but not bringing enough attention to himself from the governor's daughter, who was clearly more focused on what was on the other side of the door than him.

"Miss rose?" Jannet asked, a somewhat worried tone taking over her tone of voice. "Are you alright in there mam?"

She was about to respond, when Sonic finally undid the last knot. He made his move. He suddenly surged from his seat, the rope flung backward, knocking over a lamp, quickly grabbing Amy's attentions as she looked over her shoulder and gasped at the now full standing azure pirate. His emerald eyes glinted in the light as he grinned.

"Miss rose?" Jannet nearly shouted, wondering what was going on.

Suddenly, a group of several footsteps could be heard down the hallway. Sonic then glances at Amy.

"Sorry 'Miss rose'." He told her, a smirk on his face as he straightened his bandana. "But to be honest, work on your knots."

He then turned to walk to the door but then quickly realized he'd forgotten completely about the ring. He then went to turn around, when the pink hedgehog found her sense again, and swung the wooden blade at him, slamming it into the side of his head. Sonic grunted, slamming into a nearby drawer, shaking his head. His was quite disoriented, and tried to stand up. He also though he was losing his hearing and vision, as it blurred her into a pink silhouette, and if he hadn't seen her before, he wouldn't have been able to tell who she was. His ears were ringing, so he couldn't exactly tell what was going on anymore.

"You're not getting away." She growled. Her voice then began to fade away as the ringing in his ears took over. But before it did, he could make out the last sentence I need you. This had struck the blue hedgehog as odd, but he couldn't think about it, for the doors suddenly burst open, as three guards, and the governor himself stepped inside the room.

"Arrest this intruder!" the red hedgehog shouted, pointing at Sonic, anger clearly showing on his face.

The three guards quickly walked over to Sonic, surrounding the dazed hedgehog. The two of them on his right and left then moving their arms under his and up so he couldn't get away. Sonic quickly noticed his situation, and tried to pull free, but it was useless. They already had a firm grip on him. The third guard then stepped out of the way, As the governor then took his place, rearing his fist back and slamming it into the young pirate's stomach, causing him to double over almost, if not for the guards holding him. A few heavy coughs escaped his lips before he glared at the man.

Amy was looking away, silent. She didn't want to watch. She also couldn't believe she had blurted that out so suddenly. The pressure of her parent's, feeling locked up inside so much, no freedom, just too many restrictions seemed to all burst out into that one sentence. She just prayed her father hadn't heard. Amy ten glanced to her left, as her mother stepped in, glaring at Sonic.

"That's him! That's the crazy fool who attacked me in my carriage!" She shouted, pointing at him.

"Is that so?" The governor asked. "Well then..." The man, though old, but still quite strong, slammed his fist into Sonic's upper chest. Sonic clenched his teeth, trying to ignore the pain, but the evidence was written on his face. Something then caught the crimson hedgehogs eye, as he glanced down, and reached into Sonic's coat pocket, pulling out what seemed to everyone at first as a black handkerchief. "What might this be?" He finished.

Sonic thought he was about to get sick. That was his flag, the one he put into his coat. Sonic, yet again tried to break from the two guard's grasps, but again, he couldn't. He could only sit and watch.

"Must be important.." The guard on his right murmured.

"Yes..." The governor added, slowly unfolding the object. This only added to Sonic's worries. He then glanced at Amy.

Amy herself was clearly trying to think of what to do or say, but a second later, what she was going to say was already said for her, just not the way she would have liked it to be explained, just as her father had completely unfolded the object, revealing the picture of the skull and crossbones.

"Well, well,well. A pirate turning up at my mansion. What was your intentions, hm? To steal precious objects from here? Or worse?" He growled.

"Just shut up already." Sonic grumbled. For his trouble he got another good punch on his jaw putting him into another dizzy state.

"You watch your mouth!" The governor shouted. Amy's mother then stepped next to her, and took her by the hand gently.

"He didn't steal anything from you, did he honey? Say the word and we'll put this commoner in the jail to rot." She asked.

Amy's eyes then widened, appalled by that question. It was as if she cared more about what she owned than her, even though, technically, she was never in real danger. Amy then let out a low growl, yanking her hand back, then storming out of the room quickly, letting her anger cloud her judgment.

"Amy?" Her mother asked. "Amy!" She shouted. But the pink hedgehog had already left the hallway. The only sound left was the front doors slamming loudly.

The governor sighed. "Give her time.." He then turned his attention back to Sonic. "Guards...take the 'filth' to a dark, damp cell!"

"Yes governor." One of the guards replied. They both then pulled him upright, and dragged him out of the room, and to the steps.

(Amy's POV- Flashback over-)

I was just angry. At my mother, my father, even that pirate. But most of all, myself. How could I just sit by and let them control every step of my life. They'd probably arrange a marriage for me if they wanted to, and I'm pretty sure they would! I just kept walking, until I stopped, glancing around. I was in the east garden, the farthest from the house. She noticed the bench nearby made of wood, its arms and legs made of iron, created into complex patterns. However, from what Amy remembered, the bench was quite old. I remembered when I was younger, then I never minded her parents treating her the way they did. They over protected me, and gave me whatever I ever could have wanted, but hardly gave me the time of day. At first, I thought this was love. But now I knew better. It's not love, it's a coil of chains wrapped around me, tightening every day while I sat, praying that someone had the key to my freedom. Now I understood why I told him that.

He was the key to her chains.

I then turned her head, and watched him being dragged to a nearby carriage, the guards taking no effort to treat him well, as he was shoved, hit, and whatever they could do to him without stopping. They threw him in the carriage. I now knew what I had.

Use him to get you out.

I then smiled.

(Back in the cell, An hour and a half later)

It was quiet again, the guard now standing in front of the brick wall, just six feet from the bars that restrained the Azure hedgehog in his 'room'.

A few clangs then sounded. Sonic looked to his right, past the bars, and noticed they were coming from the steps that led upstairs. They almost resembled knocks. The guard must have known this though, because he then walked to the bottom of the steps.

"Yes? Who is it?" The Coyote asked, staring up the stairs.

"The daughter of the governor. I wish to speak to the prisoner held here recently." She told him.

Sonic's eyes widened, and he quickly stood up, walking to the bars.

"Ah." The guard muttered. Walking up the steps to the iron gate that separated Amy from the rest of the jail. The guard then looked her up and down. She was currently wearing poorly made shirt with a small, light brown jacket over it, and cotton pants to her feet, Black boots, her head covered in a hood. "You Don't look like the governor's daughter."

Amy then peeled her hood off of her head, so the guard could see her face. The guards eyes then widened.

"I apologize for the comment mam, but why are you dressed in those rags?" He asked.

Amy then rolled her eyes. "And what do you expect me to do? Walk around port royal in my finest gown, flaunting myself, practically asking to be mugged?"

The guard was then silent for a few moments, as if understand. "Well I suppose that makes sense."

Amy then sighed. "Open the gate then! Come on!" She told him.

The guard then quickly nodded, and reached to his side for the keys there, and sorted through him until he found the right key, and slid it into the keyhole to the barred door, turning it to the right with a 'click'. After that the guard opened the door, and stepped out of the way, allowing Amy to walk past him, downstairs. She then stopped and turned, looking back at him.

"And I'd wish to be alone with him. So go on, I'll call you down when I'm done." she told him.

His reply was a scratch on the head confused, but then a nod, as he stepped past the gate, leaving it slightly ajar, and walked up the steps. Amy then stepped downstairs, and glanced around, looking for the azure hedgehog's cell.

"You've traveled far off the beaten path 'princess', what brings you here?" Sonic asked. Emphasizing the word 'princess' with a cocky tone.

"Oh hush, I'm here to..talk." Amy told him, keeping a safe distance of three feet away from the bars.

"OH, talk huh? So, beating me upside the head, twice, tying me up, and you pretty much getting me stuck in here wasn't enough? What, don't you have other things to do in your 'High Society' life?" Sonic asked, agitated.

"No, I'm here to make a deal." Amy told him. "And keep your voice down."

"A deal huh?" Sonic asked, raising his arms, and letting them drop, hitting his legs. "Like what?"

Amy was silent at first, wondering if she was honestly going to go through with this. She could still just turn around ,walk away and leave him, go back to the way things were. But no, she had to prove once and for all that she didn't need to be protected. She then spoke.

"Well. How about this. I let you out, and you take me with you, to the horizon at the far edge of the sea, as far away from this bloody place as possible!" She told him.

If it could have, Sonic's jaw would have hit the floor and rolled away. This was something he definitely wasn't expecting. Take her with him? The redundancy of the idea practically froze his mind.

"Excuse me?" Sonic asked.

"You heard me." Amy asked. " I do not need to repeat myself."

Sonic then leaned against the bars and looked at her, confused.

"This isn't a fairy tail 'miss'. In the real world, people actually have to 'work', unlike you people who get everything they want, anytime they want, anywhere they want." Azure mumbled. "Besides, what on god's green earth makes you think that that's what you'd want?"

"Shut up. Are you taking my offer or not?" Amy growled. Sonic sighed. Her face was completely serious, but in a way, he thought she was crazy. But unfortunately, he didn't have much of a choice. HE had a map to get, and he glanced at her ring. He needed it, and smiled, deciding to turn the deal into his favor.

"Let me spice up the deal a bit. I do that, and you give me that ring of yours." Sonic told her.

"Why?" Amy asked. "I don't get it, this ring is all you've been blabbering about, why is it so important? It was a gift from my father."

"That's not part of the deal, is it? Now deal or no deal?" Sonic replied.

Amy then stood silent for a moment, considering her options. She then smiled and nodded.

"Agreed."
