Amy awoke in some strange room. The walls were made of large stones. She swiveled her head from side to side. Her vision was blurry. She felt soft cloth around her. She didn’t feel like she had any strength to move, though she wanted to.
“How are you feeling?” Tikal’s voice was a soft whisper.
Amy turned to see the orange echidna. “I hurt like hell.” Amy froze. She knew what she had tried to say, but no sound came out. She shot up despite the dizziness. She ran her hands down her lower half. Legs! I have legs! Amy smiled brightly.
Tikal smiled as she placed her hand on Amy’s cheek. It was cold as it had always been. But it felt colder out of the water. “I’ll go tell Madam Rouge you’re awake.”
Amy nodded, but the door to the room opened.
“Ah, so she’s awake,” Rouge smiled softly. She pushed a cart in front of her. There was a full five course meal on the plate. “I didn’t know what you would like to eat, but since I am a lander, allow me to give you guidance while you’re on land. There’s a lot you’ll need to learn.”
“Like what?” Amy mouthed.
Rouge giggled. “Sign language for one.” She handed Amy a cup of warm milk. “Most people don’t know how to read lips like I do. It will be best to teach you sign language. You’ll also need to learn how to walk, proper societal etiquette too, I’ll need to get you some nice clothes too.” Rouge counted on her fingers. “I can’t let you go meet this love of yours wearing rags, now can I? Will you be coming with us Tikal?”
Tikal shook her head. “You know most people here can’t see ghosts. Especially me.” Tikal looked sad.
Rouge sucked in her bottom list. “My apologizes. I wasn’t thinking.”
“It’s fine.” Tikal nodded.
Amy ate her food. She drank the soup and ate the salad and steak with her fingers. Rouge didn’t say anything as she ran her fingers through Amy’s long quills. Once Amy was done, Rouge took the cart out and handed it off to someone in the hallway.
“Let’s start with walking,” Rouge stated softly. “After all, you seem so full of energy now.”
Amy smiled as she nodded. She had been kicking her legs from underneath the blankets after drinking that warm white liquid. Rouge told her it was milk. Amy liked milk.
Rouge helped Amy stand up.
“Now, let’s try to stay balance,” Rouge placed Amy’s feet on her own. “Now walking works like this. One foot in front of the other like so.”
They practiced like that for a while. Rouge even let Amy get off of her feet for a few steps. But soon a knock came at the door.
“What is it?” Rouge called.
“That bath you ordered is ready Madam.” A maid opened the door. She was pushing an empty wheelchair in front of her.
Rouge smiled at Amy. “Come on dearie, let’s get you a nice bath.” In a swift movement, Rouge hoisted Amy into the air. Amy soon found herself sitting in the wheelchair. The maid held her hand over her mouth. Rouge took the handles from the maid. “Lead the way,” the white bat beamed at the maid.
Amy was in awe at Madam Rouge’s home. It was huge! A lot bigger than the halls and rooms on the sunken ships she had explored. Rouge explained a lot of things, and Amy listened to some of it. But most of her attention was on her brand new surroundings. The bathroom as Rouge and the maid called it was covered in a white shiny tile with little black diamonds embedded in the corners. They placed her in a large round bowl which Rouge told her was a bathtub. It was filled with warm water and a thick layer of bubbles on top.
Amy liked the bath. She gathered the bubbles in her palms and blew them in the air.
“The poor thing is just like a toddler,” the maid gasped.
“Yes, but I’ll take the best care of her I can,” Rouge combed shampoo through Amy’s quills.
“You’re such a kind lady, madam.” The maid smiled.
“Not really,” Rouge denied. “I’m actually really selfish.”
Amy shook her head as she turned towards Rouge. Water splashed everywhere. Amy grabbed her hands and looked at her with bright eyes. “No you’re not,” Amy mouthed as she brought Rouge’s hands to her lips. The pink hedgehog gave them a light kiss.
“Thank you Amy,” Rouge smiled. “It makes me happy that you think so fondly of me. But we don’t fully know each other yet. You’ll see just how selfish I am in time.” Rouge ruffled the pink hedgehog’s hair. She scooped up water into a cup. “Lean your head back so I can wash off the shampoo.” Amy did as she commanded.
Amy giggled as the water ran through her hair.
“She doesn’t make a sound. How odd,” the maid muttered.
“She’s lost her voice,” Rouge grabbed a towel.
