"Hey! Are you okay?" Sonic felt his body being shook but was too exhausted to speak back. "Hey! You have to wake up!" Again, Sonic felt his body being shaken rapidly. Why couldn't the other just shut up and let him sleep already? "I know you're awake; so get up already." This time his ears were pulled and his nose was pinched. Sonic was so surprised by the sudden attacks that he sprang forward and banged heads with the other. A high pitched yelp was heard and Sonic, still not opening his eyes, rubbed the pained spot on his head. "Is that how you always treat your saviors?"

"You didn't have to pull my ears, you know." Sonic finally opened his eyes and winched at the bright sun light. He quickly closed them and instead cracked them open until he was used to the bright light. When Sonic could finally open his eyes all the way, he found a slightly annoyed albino hedgehog with five quills sticking out the top of his head. Water slowly dripped off his pelt and onto the green grass below. "Why are you all wet?"

"You mean you don't remember? You fell into the pond and I saved you." Sonic blinked and the memories of the whole incident rushed back into his head.

"I didn't fall in, I was pushed!" Sonic exclaimed and quickly looked around for any sign of his attacker.

"Wait," the albino said as he raised his hands, "You were pushed into the pond?" Sonic rapidly nodded his head. "Did you happen to catch a glance at who pushed you in?"

The cobalt thought for a couple seconds and his ears drooped slightly. "I didn't, but I did see a strange figure in the forest before I came here. It was a male hedgehog; I know it wasn't you since he didn't have your strange hairdo." The other gave him A Look and Sonic quickly continued on. "Other than this creepy laugh as he pushed me in, I don't know anything else." Sonic then tried to look into the other's amber eyes only to find that the albino refused to look at him. "What is it? Am I too handsome for you to look at?" Sonic joked and his chuckles melted away when the other hedgehog didn't say anything back. "Seriously, what is up with your sudden depressed attitude?"

The albino hedgehog completely ignored Sonic's question and got up. He turned around and took a couple steps before stopping once more. "Be careful and don't ever come here again. You might not be so lucky next time."

The albino quickly took a couple more steps before Sonic sprang up and zoomed in front of him. "What do you mean by that? Why should I be careful about this place? It's so peaceful here." The albino shook his head and walked around the cobalt hedgehog. "At least tell me your name. I'm Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog and I just moved into the church down the road."

"I'm Silver," and that was all he said before disappearing back into the surrounding green forest.

*Lost Souls*

When he had gotten back home, his mother had forced him to stay on the porch while she got him a towel to dry off with. After Sonic dried off, or as dry as he could get with one towel, he walked back into the house and dropped like a rock into his bed. Of course Sonia walked in moments later demanding why he had gotten a better room. Their father had come in in the middle of her rant and told the magenta hedgehog that it was originally hers but she had already picked the other room and should leave her brother alone. Sonia, being the princess she was, then pointed out if it was originally hers that Sonic should move out so she could have it instead.

Sonic, who had not spoken at all, finally shouted for his sister to leave him alone and if she had just checked out the whole place before picking her room she wouldn't be in this mess. Sonic was very short fused right now; his day had been very hectic. He had moved into a new house, if you could even call it that. There was a graveyard in his backyard; he had almost drowned in a pond by a mysterious hedgehog. Another hedgehog had saved him but was completely tight lipped on why it was so dangerous there. Then Sonia just had to put the icing on top of the cake to his miserable day.

Sonia had taken his outburst completely in stride; as if she had known it would happen. She huffed, turned around and crossed her arms across her chest. Before leaving, however, she vowed that she would have his room eventually and he would regret not giving it to her. Their father then proceeded to scold her and kicked her out of the room.

Sonic muttered some unmentionable words and buried his face into his pillow. Thunder suddenly cracked outside and the cobalt hedgehog turned to watch it from his sunroom windows. His bedroom lit up dramatically from a lightning strike and another boom vibrated through their house. Just like that, rain pelted the roof and sunroom windows. Sonic grabbed another pillow and hugged it to his chest. He might of hated water with all his being, but he couldn't help but watch the down pouring rain. There was something mystifying about watching the rain fall down from the heavens above.

Another lightning strike lit up his bedroom and the outside of his window and Sonic's eyes widen as he sees a figure a mere two yards away. Lightning flashed again and this time Sonic could make out a bright green hedgehog with many random spikes sticking out the top of his head. He wore a small red vest and had aqua blue eyes. Sonic jumped off his bed and ran over to the windows to his right.

His nose tapped against the glass and his right foot started to tap as he eagerly waited for another lightning strike to see the green hedgehog once again. Could he be the one that pushed me in the pond? This time, two strikes happened simultaneously and Sonic could make out that the other wasn't the one who pushed him; he would have recognized that hair style right away if it was.

Another strike and he saw that the other was waving at him. Sonic raised his right hand and waved back as if mesmerized. However, who wouldn't be like that when a complete strange stood outside your room, waving at you while it down poured outside? Lightning flashed outside once more and Sonic was shocked to find that the green hedgehog had disappeared.

Before he could question on where the other could have gone, his mother called that dinner was ready. Sonic slowly backed away from the windows and out of his room. It was only before he went to bed that night did he remember a couple more odd things about the green hedgehog. The first being that the mysterious hedgehog was over joyed about… something. The last two things caused sudden anxiety in Sonic's stomach. The green hedgehog had been completely transparent and he hadn't even been touching the ground.

*Lost Souls*

"Get out of bed you lazy bum," came the snippy voice of his sister. Sonic groaned slightly when his sister disturbed his peaceful slumber and turned his head to give Sonia the best stink eye he could muster at seven am.

"Sonia, please tell me why you would wake me up at seven o'clock in the morning when it's a Sunday and summer vacation." Sonic practically growled at his sister.

A slight knowing smirk edged across her muzzle. "If you hadn't taken my room this wouldn't have happened."

Sonic's emerald eyes narrowed dangerously at his sister's spoiled princess ways. He had always relented for his sister, whether it had been letting her have the window seat on the airplane ride over to the new house or letting her have the last piece of pie left in the fridge; Sonia always had gotten her way around him. However, not this time. Sonic wouldn't give his sister the room that he had strangely grown a large attachment to. It was about time that Sonic had gotten one of the better objects out of his and Sonia's relationship.

"Besides, Sonic," Sonia strode around this bed and tugged at the hanging tapestry, "this bed was meant for a girl. Not to mention that half of your room is made out of glass." She looked over at the wall of windows to there right.

Sonic sat up in his bed and glared holes into his sister's back. "You will do just about anything to get this room, won't you." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Sonia's eyes widened and she twirled around to look at her brother. Her brother whom she had always thought of carefree and, well, happy go lucky was gone. The carefree attitude had disappeared completely and the voice of someone who would like to rip her head off had appeared.

"S-Sonic, are you okay? You don't sound like yourself," Sonia stuttered out.

"Yes; I'm fine," and he strode out of the room. He had won the battle in his bedroom but the war was another story. Even he was surprised at how he snapped at his sister. Yeah, he was cranky that his sister had woken him up at seven am on a Sunday. However, that was far from the reason he had snapped. No, it was from the sudden confusing events that had whirled in his head all night and… ever since he had woken up the feeling of being molested by unseen eyes returned. The same feeling he had felt when he was chasing that hedgehog in the forest; the same feeling he had felt when he was pushed into the pond. He had to get answers; he had to find that albino hedgehog, Silver.

"Sonic?" The pleasant voice of his mother pulled the cobalt hedgehog out of his whirlwind of thoughts.

"Yea, Mom?"

"Are you alright, honey? You look kind of pale," like the caring mother she was, she placed her gloved hand over the cobalt hedgehog's forehead. "You don't seem to have a temperature."

Sonic gently pushed the appendage away from his face, "I didn't sleep very well last night; that's all."

"If you say so, honey. Follow me to the kitchen, I just made some crepes." His mother led him into the kitchen and Sonic slid into one of the open seats at the counter. Crepes might not have been his favorite breakfast meal, but it was the only one where he could get away with eating ice cream in the morning.

A plate of two objects that resembled thin pancakes were placed in front of him. The thud of the ice cream container landed to his right and Sonic grabbed a nearby spoon. He scooped a fair sized of vanilla, chocolate swirl and placed it into his crepes before rolling both of them up like burritos. Sonic dug into his breakfast and a sudden thought occurred to him. If the albino hedgehog from yesterday walked home, he had to live close by and, if he was lucky, so was a town.

"Hey, Mom," Sonic asked his mother at the stove.

"Yes, Sonic," since she didn't look up from the pan when she answered, she was probably making more crepes for the rest of the family.

"Is there a town nearby? I met another hedgehog while I was exploring yesterday."

His mother let out a slight laugh and flopped another steaming crepe on a nearby plate. "I was wondering when you would ask that. There is indeed a town nearby. You just walk about a two miles east and you should be at the small town of Knothole."

Sonic gabbled down the last of his breakfast and jumped out of his seat. He grabbed his dishes and placed them in the sink. "Thanks, Mom!" And he raced out of the kitchen and out the front door.

Aleena let out another laugh at her son's antics and continued to cook. "He is definitely his father's son," she muttered to herself.

And the second chapter is here!

Manic: Finally, you seem to be more focused on your other fics.

Hey! At least I updated! I feel really mad at myself for getting writers block on Master and Servant when both of these fics are b-day presents! So, because of this, I've been spending more of my time thinking of how to continue M and S, than writing. Opps. ^_^'
