Mephiles' POV

It's been almost three months since me and Blazes fight along with Silver leaving. I haven't told the others about what I had found at Silvers spot. I don't really plan on it either. Especially if Blaze found out. She's take the phone and use it constantly. She'd want to check on 'her Silvyku' and try to get him to come back to her. I swear she's just as bad as Amy before Sonic started dating Shadow...

Speaking of that lovely couple. They finally told us a month ago that they were actually dating. Amy had balled her eyes out and ran away. And even better, Tails and Knuckles confessed their own relationship after Sonic and Shadow. Everyone was surprised by that. Rouge on the other hand...nearly killed the poor fox out of jealousy over the echidna. I'm just going to say now, Rouge is not pretty when she doesn't get what she wanted for years. Meaning since she had apparently liked him when they first met. Amy and Rouge... Women... I guess it's a good thing I'm gay, right?

...right?

I sighed as the thought of Silver went through my head. After finding out he left because of me, I've kinda become depressed. Tch, who wouldn't when they find out that the love of their life runs off with hatred because of you? Most days I'll randomly wander the streets and not even return home until the moon is out. Then I'd go home, into my room, and cry myself to sleep. I just want Silver back...

I want him to forgive me. I pull out my phone and check the time. 11:43 PM. I guess I should head home. Looking around, I find myself by station square. My house should be 20-25 minutes walk from here. I turn in the direction of home and start my 'journey'.

I close by bedroom door behind me, not bothering with turning on the lights. I strode over to my window so I can block out the natural light of the half moon soon to be sun. But then something caught my eye.

I looked across the street and there I saw him. My eyes widen and I felt like I could have already been in a deep slumber. There, on the other side if the road, was a shadowed hedgehog figure. The outline of five quills on the front and a slight glow of yellow eyes. It's no doubt Silver. There's no other being I know that has five quills on the front of his head and yellow glowing eyes. But why is here? I thought- the note said- he- what?

I shook my head and rubbed my eyes. When I looked back at that spot, he was gone. Now shocked to the core, I darted my gaze left and right to see if I could spot him once more. There was no sight of him. Am I'm going insane?

I sighed and shook my head again before closing the curtains and heading over to my bed. I laid on my back and stared at the ceiling. Was that really him? Or my imagination? If it is him, then why did he come back? Let alone to me. The one he supposedly hates! The hell!

Once more, I sighed and shook my head. I then closed my eyes and allowed the darkness to pull me into a slumbering state.

I woke up to the sun hitting my eyes. I looked out the window and glanced at the mountain view. It was always beautiful to see them... I sat up in my bed and stretched my arms over my head, hearing and feeling a crack in my back. I sighed in content and relaxed once more. A knock came from my door that was then opened to reveal my father.

"Hey dad," I said with a tired smile.

He smiled back and said, "Morning son. You might want to get ready."

I looked at him confused and asked, "Why?"

His smile turned into a smirk and he said, "Silver's in the dining hall waiting for you."

He winked to me before closing the door. I sat there dumbfounded as my mind processed what he said. Silver isn't supposed to be here until... I gasped and my eyes widen.

"I totally forgot!" I said to myself. I then threw my covers to the ground and jumped off the bed, running to my closet.

"Where is it... Where is it... Where- Ah Ha!"

I pulled out the dress wear I had chosen ahead of time for this occasion. It was my black tux-like robe with purple trim on the outer cloth and purple trim on the pockets. I quickly put it on, making sure I did it correctly, and headed towards the dining hall. On the way, I passes a side table with a vase full of purple and white designed Butterfly Rose. I went over and picked one out, adding it my outfit by putting it in the pocket on the left side of my chest.

"Now I'm ready," I whispered to myself.

I soon made it to the dining hall and opened the door. I smiled as I saw my parents and Silver. They all smiled back, Silver's beaming the most. But it quickly faded and he looked to the ground while hold onto his left arm.

'Why would he-?' my thoughts were interrupted by a female voice. One I had not recognized before.

"You must be Mephiles, I presume?"

Snapping my gaze to the owner of the voice, I saw a black hedgehog female with two long quills like Silvers and purple eyes. Silver had told me about her before. Midnight, his older sister. And queen to the demonic kingdom. My eyes slightly widened and I bowed to show my respect for her.

"I am Mephiles," I said, swallowing the lump in my throat from the new nervousness that has arisen.

I raised to my full height and and looked at her with a small smile and a glint of determination. Silver had said that Midnight is very protective of him and is not too fond of the idea letting him and me be together. She was forced to take on the task of mother for Silver since birth. Their mom had died during and Silver's father killed Adrian, Silver's twin. Midnight was able to fight their dad off whom disappeared after. No one knows where he is and all are still fearing he may strike at any time. Midnight has had Silver by her side all his years and is extremely protective on letting him go.

"Silver says that you already know me through him, yes?" she then questioned with such maturity that it was hard to remember that she was only 34 years and not 120.

I nodded my head and said as formally as I could, "Yes. Queen Midnight of the demonic kingdom."

She eyed me suspiciously. I could see the glint of slight uneasiness hidden in her features. Her eyes lidded halfway and all of her went to a neutral stance. She's thinking. Silver does the same thing when he thinks. It usually is adorable when he does it, but now it's unnerving seeing Midnight do the same thing.

I shot up in my bed and looked around the dark room. Light was able to go around the curtain and allowed me to see enough of the room. All of my belongings were present. None of that...royal looking stuff...

I hid my face in my hands and thought about the dream. 'What was that all about? I haven't had one of those since Silver left...' I thought. I heard the faint sound of a knock on the front door downstairs and perked my ears.

"Hey Mephiles? You in there? Haven't seen ya in awhile."

Sounds like Sonic. What does he want? I know I haven't showed myself in a few weeks but it's none of his business on my reasoning for it.

"Mephiles?"

I groaned and rolled my eyes. I begrudgingly got out of bed and made my way downstairs to the front door. I opened the mahogany door and saw Sonic about to leave my yard. He heard the door and twirled around to see me. His looked surprised and happy. But that changed when he noticed my own tired, downgrading appearance.

"Here comes the rain of questions," I whispered under my breath to myself, moving back from the door and into my house for Sonic and Shadow to follow when they would like to come back in.
