Mephiles' POV

After 3 hours and 16 minutes of interrogation from Sonic and Shadow, they knew everything from three months ago of Silver leaving to me staying out till midnight to now. They were obviously sympathetic for me now that they knew the truth.

Sonic stared at the island top while Shadow leaned against the wall looking the other way. I leaned against the side of the island looking between the both of them, tempted to tell them of the flashes that continued to appear out of no where.

"So you knew about Silvers disappearance all along?" Shadow then questioned, looking to me.

I met his gaze and nodded my head. "Like I've already said, I found the note and the phone at his get-away spot next to the pond in the park."

"But why didn't you tell us about it?" Sonic spoke up, catching my gaze as well before continuing, "Blaze has been going head over heels about Silver randomly disappearing without a trace. She blamed you for it and was going to come here and kill you if it weren't for the rest of us holding her back."

I rolled my eyes at gaining the knowledge that Blaze was going to kill me. Not really surprised though. "I didn't tell anyone, especially Blaze, because I knew that someone was bound to do something rash. Silver is already mad at me for fighting with his best friend and I don't want him to hate me more if he has a dozen people coming after him."

"I guess you've got a point," Shadow said.

The room fell silent once more with Sonic looking at his hands and Shadow looking at the ground with me looking between them. Then I felt a vibration in my back pocket, the phone Silver left. I reached to my back pocket and took it out. Looking at the caller ID, I see it's Silver calling. I put it on speaker and set it on the island top.

"Hey Silver," I say, catching Sonic and Shadows attention instantly.

"Hey Meph. Haven't heard from ya in a while, eh?" Silver replied.

Sonic jumped to the gun and practically yelled, "Silver?"

"Sonic?" came Silvers reply.

"Where the hell have you been Silver? We've all practically gone insane from your sudden disappearance three months back," Shadow said while walking up to the island to be closer.

"Shadow? How've you guys been?"

They might as well not even try. I have and Silver always asks about something else...

"What do you mean 'how have you guys been'?! You’ve been gone for three months and that's all you are worried about?! Do you even know what has happened between all of us with you out of the picture?!" Shadow yelled.

I was surprised by his outburst but have asked the same question. Silence fell upon all of us. Not even Silver has responded. It's like this for a minute before Silver responds with an answer he had not given before.

"Yes. I do know what has happened with me out the picture Shadow. I know about what happened the day I left. The day that you and Sonic started dating. The day that you and him came forth that encouraged Tails and Knuckles to come forth as well. I know that right now, you are all in Mephiles' house. In his kitchen at the island. I know what has happened without me."

The three of us stood there dumbfounded. How did he know? He's not here! The note he left said that he was somewhere that we wouldn't be able to find him! No matter how long we looked or how much help we had! How?!

"How do you know all of that?" Sonic said, beating me to it.

"I have my ways. You shouldn't underestimate someone by what you know," came Silvers reply.

"What about last night?" I said, not thinking.

"What do you mean? You'll have to be more specific."

"Last night. When I was going to bed and you were standing outside. Why?"

Silver was silent for a moment. Then the phone beeped. He hung up...

I stared at it with wide eyes. What the hell?! He'll be willing to answer Sonic and Shadows questions but not mine?!

Frustration took over me and I yelled while grabbing my quills. I stared at the phone with hatred before storming into the living room and sitting down. I put my head in my hands and hunched over in the seat.

"You'll be so willing to answer them. You tell them the truth. You give them reasons. But you lie to me and don't give me answers. Then why would you give me the damn phone to talk to you if you're going to do that?" I whispered to myself.

Sonic and Shadow walked in and stood in the doorway. I could sense that they were surprised by my actions. Most of the time in our friendship I'm nice and caring. I think they've only seen me stressed out, let alone swearing and talking to myself, a few times. But that was when I wanted to know about my past before my amnesia. This is a completely different reason.

I removed my hands from my face to my chin and looked at the ground, anger still present. Sonic came over and sat down next to me. He hesitantly put a hand on my knee and looked at me with sympathy, worry, and slight fear. None of which I would like right now.

"Mephiles I-"

I abruptly stood up, cutting Sonic from his sentence, and went to the front door. I quickly got my jacket off the hanger and left. I need to take a walk. I need to clear my head and get my thoughts back in order. But with how jumbled they are...that might take a while...

~Time Skip~

When I thought it would take a while to clear my head, I didn't think it would take ten hours. It's now around midnight. Again. I look at my surroundings like I have many times before. This time I'm near the park. By Silvers get-away spot.

I sighed as the memories from his spot came back. I remember one time, I had found him there crying. One of Scourges friends, that wasn't apart of the gang, had hurt Silver. Emotionally and physically. He had called Silver a 'family-less slut who would never know a meaning of love'. I had about exploded with anger and went to the guy. Sent him to the hospital when I was done with him. Silver found out and I thought he was going to be mad at me for it. But all he did was hug me and told me not to do it again.

I teared up from the thought. If I remember correctly, it was also the first time being at Silvers get-away spot. It's always as beautiful as the last time you'd seen it. No matter the season or mood or anything. It was always pretty to see and lighten up the mood. That much I know.

A rustle come from behind me and I twirl around to see the shadowed figure of Silver, down the street, looking at me. Only this time, he seems more...creepy...

A chill runs up my spine and I swallow the lump in my throat. Why is Silver acting like this? He never did it before. And he has other people who he hates more so that's out the question. So...why?

I keep my gaze on Silver as he stands as still as a statue, staring right back at me. The longer I look at him, the more of a creeped feeling I get. And I don't know why but...the little voice at the back of my head tells me something when the shadowed figure of Silver starts to walk directly towards me...

It's not Silver. Run.
