Description
There was a old dirt road, it was small, and traveled through the darkest parts of the forest. Few dared to travel this path, yet here was a small carriage being followed by heavy armed guards who await the slightest sign of danger. For what was within this Carriage was a Single Pink female hedgehog. Her name was Amy rose, a princess of a allied kingdom of the Mighty Station Square kingdom and their ruler Sonic, Prince Sonic actually. Yet that would all change when she reached the Kingdom to meet the man she was in love with for many years, she was in such a love rush when heard the news of the marriage that she didn't even wonder why Sonic had changed his feelings for her so quickly. "maybe he finally realized that we are prefect for each other" Amy whispered to her self as she sighed with joy, griping tightly to a picture of her lovely soon to be husband. There was a knock on the door of the carriage, "Who is it" Amy asked after getting out of her love daze. "its me Madam" A female voice said through the door, "oh come in" Amy said unlocking the carriage door. Just then the door was opened from the other end by a purple female cat, wearing light armor with a thin blade that rested on her belt, "Princess Amy, sorry to bother you but I wish to tell you that we must stop and make repairs for the left wheel has seem to bend to badly for it to hold this carriage up much longer, that and the men need their rest we been traveling for days now with little rest" the Female Knight told Amy who sighed with grief. "Blaze, you know that I wish to reach the kingdom where my love is as soon as possible" Amy said sadly, Blaze nodded knowing how she felt about Prince Sonic. "I'm sorry Madam but we must fix the wagon or it will delay us only longer" Blaze said sorrow to Amy, feeling bad that she would have to make her friend wait. Amy finally agreed but told them to hurry. Blazed nodded and got out of the carriage bring it to a stop.

Meanwhile around the dark forest that surround the princess escort there were sounds that drawled the guards sight several times. Blaze knew and felt the feeling of a unsafe area, this place has been attacked over and over again by bandits but it was the fastest way to get to the kingdom of station square. "why would the Prince ask us to take such a dangers road" a Guard asked another who didn't answer. Blaze looked around, she felt odd like something was watching them. Eyes of the forest, nothing felt right while they stood still, Blazes hair started to go up across her backside out of a fear that boiled in her guts. Suddenly there was a rush through the bushes, Blaze looked to it trying to find something, but before she could see what it was a guard grabbed her shoulder "Madam we are going to need a hour to fix the carriage" the Solider stated as he went back to work. "fine I will inform Princess Amy" Blaze said as she walked back into the Carriage.

A few seconds when by and their was nothing, yet as the time it took to fix the carriage went on everyone was on end, guards jumped at the voices of others, not a good thing to see. Blaze felt that she was awaiting a storm to come down on them as fast and hard as the silence before the storm was as peaceful and quiet. Just then as Blaze traveled back into the carriage to check on the Rose the shadows of the woods came to life, the guards had very little time to defend them self's as the Shadows of people came on them. "What is that sound out their" Amy asked to her guard Blaze who had just heard the sounds of battle going along the road. "princes stay here I will check it out" Blaze said locking the door behind her.

Blaze came into the storm she felt that was sure to rise, She saw the guards trying helplessly fight off the Shadows, they were bandits. Hedgehogs, dogs  and foxes alike, they were bandits for sure and they had a red S on their shoulders showing they were part of some clan of bandits. "knew we should not have taken this road!" Blaze cursed to herself as she felt anger to the foolish prince Sonic. Blades clashed daggers cut, axes chopped and spears stabbed yet Blaze was not scare when it came to defending the princess. Blaze took out her  two short swords and charged at the bandits, cutting one that had a guard by the neck, blocking the attacks of other bandits while slashing back and forth killing what could be a few or a hundred bandits. Blaze was in the heat of the combat now, and she did not fear the fire, but just as she was about to slay a young fox bandit she was knocked over and rolled on the ground till she was able to stand and take up her blades. She scanned for what had knocked her over, but she was then attacked from above by a female bat with a pair of jewel incrusted daggers, Blaze was luckily enough to parry their blades together and through push her back. The bat stood up after being pushed back Daggers in hand and charged swiftly a Blaze, dodging her attack by back flipping over her so she was behind. Blaze felt a sharp pain on her backside then, she was cut by the bats daggers and they stung badly, Blaze had enough and kicked the bat in the face sending her sliding back "I have had enough of this" Blaze  shouted at the bat as her eyes went in flames, The swords blaze had grew red and longer, only to burst into flames making them very deadly. The bat was scared though did not show it. She pulled out some throwing daggers and kept throwing them at Blaze while she was run in circles around her, trying to find a opening.  Blaze blocked each dagger as they came, they melted around her from the overpowering heat of the flames. Blaze saw her chance and charged at the bat, who didn't have time to react, and made a great blow across her arm, The bat screamed out in pain of the flames that stung her arm so badly. Blaze just grinned as she fell down in defeat, "well Cut throat any last words before I end you" Blaze said to the Bat bandit as she stood by her body. The bat grinned as she did a wind like attack with her feet knocking Blaze off her feet and then the Bat put something over Blazes mouth. "Go to sleep warrior you will not meet your end yet" the female bat said slowly to Blaze as she slowly black out, The bat then removed the cloth from Blazes mouth.

The bat got up, while holding her arm and watched as the guards slowly ran away from the bandits who cheered while they did so.  The fox bandit came up to the Bat "thank you Rouge"  The fox said with a smile, But Rouge didn't smile, it just hurt to much to smile, her arm burned to badly and was maybe scared for life. Rouge walked over to the carriage and kicked the locked door of it open and saw the princess with a horrified look on her face, for some reason it cause Rouge to grin "well hello there Princess" Rouge said with a smirk, she had known who this girl was from the seal she wore across that thin neck of hers. Amy didn't say a word but only wished hat someone like her prince would save her yet her prayers were not being answered for the next thing Amy knew was that she was knocked out by the same stuff used to knock out Blaze. Rouge picked up the young princess and took her into the forest with her fellow bandits following.

An hour pasted and the bandits were now deep in the forest, one of the dogs, a husky, Looked at the princess in Rouges arms "well what are we going to do with her" he asked. Rouge looked back at the Husky "Well seeing we got a princess I'm sure the Don (a.k.a leader) would have some use for her. If not well I'm sure he will throw her off somewhere in the forest to suffer" Rouge said smirking. The Bandits finally came on some camp a few wooden shacks and so on, mostly surround by swam and beasts that could pack a mean bite. The others walked over to the blacksmith or maybe the healers to rest their wounds or fix their weapons. Rouge on the other hand walked up to a large fort like hut with watch towers and archers waiting from all sides. It was more of a war hut then someone's home and with good reasons, for their in the shadows sat someone in a king chair looking at the bat and the princess that was already waking up. "Rouge who is this women, and why do you bring her to me?" the Voice of the one in the chair asked. Rouge bowed "Don, we found this girl in a carriage heading to Station square  kingdom, she is a princess" Rouge told her leader as she set the girl down on the ground before him. "It looks like the Prince was trying to become king, lucky for us we found her before it was to late" The Don said with a smirk. "what should you have us to with her?" Rouge asked. "take her to my bedroom, She is a princess and I don't want her to think to bad of us unclassly people" the Don said with a grin. Rouge nodded as she walked over to the bedroom of the Don and sat her down on the red rose bed. Rouge smiled "well good night princess, can't wait to you when your awake" she though as she walked out of the room.

An hour pasted and Amy slowly started to open her eyes only to find she was staring at Crimson roof, poorly painted mind you. Amy looked around to see she was in a bed that was red as a rose "what was going on" Amy asked her self as she slowly got out of the bed and looked around. Just as she was going to open the door it went flying open and in the darkness of the shed it was hard to see who it was, but the figure of the shadow looked just like Sonic. Amy couldn't hold her self back as she ran up to the Sonic look-alike and hugged him in a death grip, but he did not return the hug Amy started to see who it was as she looked up at a pair of Crimson eyes that burned down on her "what are you doing?' the Don asked the princess who was in some shock. Amy pushed her self away from the Don meeting her Emerald green eyes with his crimson one. Amy sighed at the fact this was not her love and asked him "who are you and where am I". The Don smiled "well you are in my camp of 'Bandits' and I am the Don" He said sinisterly. Amy's eyes went wide "How dare you take me prisoner  I am a princess and soon to be queen of Station Square" Amy shouted at the Don who shook his head. "oh how blind are you Girl? Let me tell you something, This is my Camp, there is no king here but me, your title doesn't matter here, and remember who holds the cards here" the Don said to the girl as he walked over to her and forced her on the bed. Amy saw she head no hope in this matter and only hoped that she would be saved soon. "Well rest up princess, tomorrow your going to be working those rich hands of yours down to the workers class" the Don said as he locked the door from the outside, he walked off to his war room planning his next move. "Well, Sonic loves me. He will come for me for sure" Amy thought to her self as she tried to rest up inside the  warm sheets of the rose bed. Amy just couldn't get over one thing "who is that man, and why have I seen him before?" Amy said to herself as she drifted off into the peace of sleep, knowing little about what would soon come at the dawn…
