Chapter 1: The horrid truth

I, Amy Rose, was running. This was one of those moments when the castaway on the deserted, island with no food says, "Well it can't get any worse." And then it starts to downpour. I felt just as stupid as that poor castaway.

I was heading to the café where were supposed to meet for our date. I walked in and headed to the corner booth. I was early so I thought that Silver wouldn't be there. I sat down and started to brush my long quills quickly before he got there. I heard a laugh and put my brush away.

I looked across the room and I saw a hedgehog with his arm around a purple cat. I recognized the laughing girl as Blaze the Cat. She was obviously laughing at what the white hedgehog said. The hedgehog looked up and I saw his face. It was Silver! I watched at horror as they started to make out. I stood up and a loud sob escaped my lips. Tears were streaming down my face. Silver looked at me and his smile instantly vanished. I saw him mouth the word, 'Amy' before I ran out of the café.

I could hear Silver shouting my name as he ran after me. I ignored him and turned into a dark alley.

"I didn't want to do this Amy." He said and a light blue aura surrounded me. My feet stopped moving and I knew that Silver was using his Psychokineses on me.

"Put me down Silver." I yelled as I floated up a foot in the air and started to move to him, "Or I'll beat you with my hammer!"

He set me down in front of him and grabbed my wrists so I couldn't get my hammer. I tried to break free but he pushed me up against the wall.

"Silver, let me go. Why are you acting like this?" I asked. He smiled and brushed a quill from my face.

"Why did you kiss her? Why?" I said persisting. He started to kiss my neck. I struggled to get him to stop. He did.

"I love you and nothing can change that." Silver said.

"Then what just happened back there?"

He didn't answer but looked at my chest. I wanted to smack him so badly. He made the mistake to let go of my wrist and place his hand on my chest.

I smacked him with my now free hand. Silver let go and staggered back, holding his face. I took my hammer and raised it above my head.

"Don't make me!" I said loudly.

"Amy, what was that for?" He asked innocently and used his Psychokineses to take my hammer from me. He tossed it a good ten feet away. He then used his powers to hold me against the wall.

"Help! Please! Helphmm…!" He covered my muzzle and sighed.

"I thought we were going to have fun. I can't have you yelling the whole time." He leaned in and removed his hand but replaced it with his lips. Usually his kisses were sweet, but this was forceful. He pushed his tongue into my mouth into a French kiss.

Suddenly we heard a noise from the darkest corner of the alley. Silver released me and I ran to my hammer. I snuck up behind him and hit him in the head. Not hard enough to kill him of course, but enough to stun him. Silver's knees buckled and he fell to the ground knocked out. I dropped my hammer and fell to my knees. I started to cry. I felt stupid. Stupid about believing Silver, stupid about going into this stupid alley, stupid about being tricked.

Was that just me or did something just say my name?

"Amy…" It said. I stood up and shivered. It had suddenly gotten colder.

"Amy…"

"Who's there?"

"Amy…"

I was really getting scared now. What ever is going on is certainly not good. A purple-blue mist was emitting from the corner where I heard the noise earlier.

"Amy…" The mist engulfed me and I saw someone come towards me. He looked like Shadow, but his stripes were gray, not red. His eyes were a greenish yellow color and the rings around hs wrist and ankles are silver.

When I saw his rings I was instantly reminded of Silver. I looked around but I didn't see him.

I looked back at the hedgehog and saw that he was only 2 feet away. The mist was disappearing. This hedgehog gave me the creeps. I flattened my ears and backed away, but I hit the wall

"Don't be afraid." He said, still coming towards me.

'Too late' I thought. He was right in front of me now. His voice didn't seem to come from him. It sounded like it was just…, there. He caressed my cheek and put one quills behind my ear.

"Amy…,your name suits you…beautiful." He remarked.

I blushed.

"Th-thank you." I replied. "What is your name?"

"My name is Mephelis."

"Oh. W-why did you help me?"

"I was watching when you smacked him, Silver, was it? I didn't think you needed help until I realized that his powers were an unfair advantage. So I knocked over a box." He snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.

"What do you think you're do…" His lips silenced me. At first I started to push him away but his grip was too strong. I started to enjoy it though so I stopped and put my arms around his neck.

After a while I started to get dizzy and I heard my name being called, "Amy!" Mephelis broke the kiss suddenly and laid me down on the ground. My vision swirled and I saw a flash of purple. I was on the verge of unconsciousness when I felt strong arms pick me up bridal style. I remember realizing that they were black and red before I passed out.
