I've returned! The book we've all been waiting for has now been starting. The third and final book in the To Say Goodbye series HAS ARRIVED! YAY! I know I've been waiting to start this story, and I'm glad it's time to start again. And I'm so sorry that I'm late. I've been really busy. But next weekend, I have a four day weekend, so I will update maybe twice. If I can. lol
This has really been an adventure, writing this story for my fans. I've really enjoyed giving the characters a little more background toward one another, and I kept them in character, for the most part. I think the upcoming character (-coughshadowcough-) will be the most out of character.
Thanks to the fans and reviewers of the story. I have a monolouge ready for the final chapter, so I'll save it for then. xD
And this is reallllllly short, so I'm sorry. I've been really sick and my sister had a birthday party Saturday, so I didn't have a lot of time to type.

Signs
"You may delay, but time will not."
Benjamin Franklin
The dark room was silent. No moon light flickered through the windows to light up the midnight black room. Everything was motionless inside the room.
But in a single moment, everything changed.
The room began to vibrate, shaking and shivering, slowly at first, then it became more violent. With every passing second, the vibrating grew worse, until the roof began to crumble ever so slightly. A hum started vibrating through the house, growing louder and louder, until it was earshattering. Then, in the same instant it had started, in a blast of blinding white light, the shaking and humming was gone, replaced by silence and motionlessness.
In the darkness something sturred suddenly. Two red eyes shot open, narrowed and concentrating. They blinked once, then narrowed further. He knew what the vibrating and humming meant, and it was time to act.
He stood up, his red eyes the only lumination in the home, and it was all he needed. He took silent, slow steps through the house, his red eyes unfocus in thought.
Red eyes narrowed even futher, and a frustrated sigh left parted lips as he lifted his hand for the window, twisting the handle and pushing it open with a small squeak. The moonlight entered through the open window, lighting up the room and making his black and red fur glow in the light. His red eyes glowed brighter as he stared at the crescent moon, scanning the sky around it. He watched as the three nearest stars to the moon flicker gently, before they dimmed slowly and disappeared from sight.
He knew what the two disappearing stars meant.
Someone had broken through the fabric of time. And he was almost certain he knew who it was. To him, all of the signs were telltale.
He turned away from the window and the sky, heading back into the luminated house. Had the hedgehog not heeded his warning? That time was a matter not to be dealt with? Had he and the echidna went and traveled through the fabric of time, even after he was told the dangers? And who was the third person, flying through time, represented by the third star fading in the sky? Red eyes blinked slightly, and he shook his head. His warnings were always to be taken seriously. After all, why else was he still alive after hundreds of years? Why was he, himself, the keeper of time?
He reached for the drawer nearest to the wall, walking past all the clutter lying on the floor. The drawer opened quietly, and the room was immediatly sent into a blinding light. The red jewel lying in the drawer lit up the room in blinding red light, but red eyes didn't even blink. He reached into the drawer, lifting the jewel from the bottom of the drawer, and lifting it into the air. His red eyes glowed like fire as he stared into it, squeezing it tight in his fist.
Time to fix the mistake that had been made.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the room shook around him. The humming started again, growing louder and louder, and his fist grew tighter and tighter, and just as it looked as the room was going to explode, a red blinding light flashed suddenly.
And when the light disappeared, he was gone, and the room was purged into darkness and silence once more.
-End of Chapter-
I know it's really short, but I had to show how this person (-coughshadowcough-) knew they didn't pay attention to his warning and went back in time. This also shows how he went back in time himself. There will possibly be two updates next week, and I also had a request to do another story, one that shows my opinion on how Sonic and Tails met. Until then!
