Shade's memories
Prologue
The discovery
Shade turned around, "V? Edward? Anyone? Are you guys there?" She heard a scream, she turned...
And woke up yelling. She blinked, she was sweating again. The same dream. But why was she dreaming about her.... A knock on the door interrupted those thoughts. "Shade?" Knock knock knock. "Shade?" "Yes?" "Are you alright?" "Yes." She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and rubbed her eyes. "Why... why... why... why... why..." She headed downstairs.
Her hand stretched and liquified before solidifying around the last tart and bringing it back to Shade's plate. "Aww no fair Shade!" Complained Ball. Laughing, Shade split it in half. "Thanks Shade!" She watched him wolf it down, "Stop doing that or you'll choke!" Ball stopped to stare at her officiously, "My powers prevent me from choking." He said, before going back to his food. Shade laughed, "Okay, whatever you say boss."
"Boss? Who ya' callin' boss?" He glared at her fiercely. "No one! I didn't say a thing!" Shadow and Sonic had come (Shadow only because Sonic had somehow angered him enough to come... somehow) to stay for the day. So Shadow was flipping through the newspaper, bored, while Sonic wolfed down toast. He paused to ruffle Ball's hair, "Good on ya' Ball! Show her who's boss!"
He recoiled from Shade's glare, "I'll take it from Ball but I won't take shinanigans from you." She growled. Shadow smirked behind the newspaper. Vivid looked over Shadow's shoulder, "New continent found? In the northwest? Interesting."
Shade slowly rose from her spot and tried to make it out the door. "Stay Shade, this could be interesting." Said Tralska. She was forced to stay and listen, eyes closed, as Vivid read the article aloud.
This new continent apparently has no name. The Mobians who inhabit it simply called it "Home". Though some would joke and call it "Hum". So it has, to everyones surprise, been named Hum Island. There is a natural phenomenon there where trees make a humming noise in midwinter, though why this happens no one knows.
The Hum islanders have a castle too, where there is only one resident. In one time-line, there were supposed to be eight children around the time that the crocodile known as Dr. Crike tried to destroy the royal family using one of the daughters. But someone changed the timeline, while everyone remembered it, so there would only be three children, two boys, and one girl. The youngest boy would be a baby, and Crike did not want to deal with more than one boy, so he used a poison that would destroy the child slowly, though painlessly.
The king and queen of Hum Island are long gone, though Prince V is still there. Why his parents named him V no one knows, except his older sister, Shade the Hedgehog and her two cousins, Ike and Peter the Hedgehogs.
Vivid's eyes were wide around the end, and Shade was shaking. Peter and Ike had fled when they heard the part about their youngest cousin. Shade stood there, eyes closed, as they stared at her. "Sh...Shade?" "Leave me alone." She darted out of the room, ignoring their calls for her to come back. She zoomed outside, then raced along the street.
She didn't bother to apologize to the people she was knocking over, she needed to get to Hum Island... she couldn't stay here. She had tried to put her past behind her, but it had decided to follow her, she had relaxed, and it had pounced.
