Hey guy! I've forgotten all about this story, I made it, about….A long time! I want to thank "Star Splice" for the nice review, and that little OC Splice (I think it's an OC) was adorable! Well, my version of adorable, which is a rabbit covered in blood, holding a knife, with sharp teeth. Yup, isn't it a cutie?

…

Amy tried to call Cream, but she wouldn't answer. This wasn't like the goodie-two shoes! Shadow walked down the stairs, he sighed. Amy kept calling, finally she stopped and wiped the sweat away. Shadow grabbed the phone, not even telling his wife and clicked a few buttons. Finally the black Goth looked up to his wife. "They're at that one park you didn't want them at." He said coldly.

Amy's eyes widened in shock. "But Cream said she'd take them to the new park!"

"Well, she didn't, now did she?" Shadow rudely turned and walked to the doorway outside, he turned to his lover. "Are you coming?"

"Y-yeah!" Amy choked out as she ran over him.

…

Knuckles was sitting by the master emerald, his eyes closed in deep thought. He opened one of his purple eyes, did he just hear footsteps? He waited for a minute and sighed, thinking he only scared himself. He heard footsteps again, he growled and jumped up, he looked around, at his left was a hedgehog. He held up fists up to the hedgehog, the hedgehog had a pale muzzled with green, glowing eyes, no mouth, and grayish stripes going down his quills and arms. He looked like Shadow, but Knuckles knew better.

"Who are you?!" Knuckles yelled, his sharp teeth showing as the hedgehog cocked his head.

"I am Mephiles…Mephiles The Dark…." The shadowy hedgehog spoke. Knuckles was taken aback by his voice, but he kept his composure. His eyes narrowed as he thought of a plan, only one came up. Run at him and kill him. Mephiles drew closer, Knuckles' eyes widened as ran at the ghostly form. Mephiles held up his arms, what looked like tentacles shot in the air. Knuckles stopped and gazed in horror as the tentacles snatched Knuckles' wrists and ankles. Knuckles struggled against the tentacles. Mephiles frowned.

The appendages pulled Knuckles' arms away from each other and his body, not enough to pull them off. Mephiles needed the body and wouldn't be foolish. He also spread the hot-head's legs so he won't kick. Mephiles wouldn't let the echidna break the body that Mephiles needed so.

"I-I won't let you win!" Knuckles choked out, he shifted his body that wasn't tied up insanely. Mephiles chuckled; he wrapped one of the tentacles around his red, furry neck. But softly enough not to chock him to death. The dark form also wrapped one around his head. Knuckles wouldn't say it, but he was terrified, Knuckles grinded his teeth. Then, the appendages pulled his body closer to the dark hedgehog.

The two looked at each other in the eye, Knuckles' face was only inches away from the pale muzzle of his kidnapper. Mephiles put his hand on Knuckles' head. "Don't worry; this will only hurt for a minute." The way that the evil form was smirking Knuckles knew he was lying. Knuckles readied himself for anything. Maphiles' claws shot out, what sounded like knifes being pulled out made Knuckles' face paled in fear.

Mephiles stabbed his head with his claws, Knuckles screamed in agony as blood ran down his face, tears formed in his eyes. But the crimson echidna didn't let them escape his eyes. Slowly the pain grew, Knuckles couldn't stop himself as he sob softly as tears rained down. "Shh, it's almost over…." Mephiles grinned darkly as he clawed into Knuckles' brain. Knuckles eyes closed, then opened glowing emerald green.

…

Amy pulled up to the old park that no one goes to anymore, Amy hopped out of the car and ran everywhere until she saw Cream's body, she ran over and fell to her knees. She slowly laid Cream's cold head on her lap, Shadow ran over, and stopped when he saw the scene before him. Amy looked over her shoulder at Shadow. "S-she's…." The pink hedgehog wept, Shadow wrapped his arms around his wife and scowled at his wife's sadness.

He pulled out an emerald. He genteelly pushed his wife away as he put the emerald on Cream's cut throat. It close little, Cream's brown eyes opened. "A…Amy?"

"Y-yes, what happened?"

"M-Maphiles….Took the kids….Please, save them…." Cream rasped, her throat opened again as blood flooded left part of her mouth. The two looked at each other.

"Who's Maphiles?"

…

Yes, I've made it where no one remembers Maphiles. 'Cause they lose their memory, remember? At the end of the game, I think. I could be mistaken. Yes, I've made it where only Cream remembers. I don't know why, just cuz…
