Hello everyone! PRK is back! After taking a three month hiatus, I am back for some LHNL action! Just letting you know, the updates might be slower again, but as time goes on, I will get back into the swing of things. I've just been so preoccupied with stuff in real life. And of course, the drama with people reporting this story for no reason. It has been over three months since this was reported, and it's still up! So obnoxious story reporters, you lose! Fatality! Sorry... I had to make that reference.

I know some of you hate me for not updating, so I'm sorry. The drama was too much. No one should have to go through so much crap to write a story for wonderful readers like you to enjoy.

In other news, there is a story contest! That's right, I'm doing another story contest! And this one will be a New Years' theme! However, it won't start until early December, because you don't know how the holidays will end off at, haha! I'm just letting you know ahead of time so you can start thinking. If you're interested, PM me or tell me in your review.

I forget if I mentioned this, but some of you thought Geoffrey St. John was an OC. He isn't. He's in the Archie universe, like Bunnie Rabbot, Sally Acorn, and Fiona Fox. If you want more info about him, look him up.

Also, I'm not sure that I made it clear that I stopped accepting OCs in chapter 6. The five that were debuted were the permanent five. If there's a chance for more, I will let you guys know. :D

Alright, so enough jabber from me! Let's get going with chapter 7~! :3


Chapter 7 Fading Away

A figure popped out of a bush early the next morning near the girl's dormitory. He looked around for any unwanted witnesses, then ducked back into the bushes. He reappeared again, but with binoculars.

About fifteen minutes later, the ECSU clocks struck 7am, and hundreds of girls filed out of the dorms, dressed and ready for breakfast. The mysterious figure searched the flock of girls with binoculars until he spotted the girl he was looking for: Blaze. She was walking alongside Amy, Cream, and Cosmo. They met up with Rouge, Raven, and Skye before heading to the dining hall.

The sketchy individual ran along the shadows of dawn, trailing Blaze undetected. When Blaze entered the dining hall, he crouched down behind the building.

"This is RSS to KF." The man whispered into an audio recorder. "It is 7am in Emerald City, and the suspicioned target has been spotted. She is heading to breakfast with her American friends. I don't know if she is who we're looking for, but I have a hunch. I will keep an eye on her. RSS out."

The man turned off the recorder and stood up.

"Dude, I had the craziest dream!" Sonic said excitedly to his friends. "I was in High School Musical, and Troy was like "Hey there, Wildcat!" Then Gabriella was like "I want to eat your neck!" Then Troy said "I like turtles!" Man, that was so weird."

"Sonic, what have you been smoking?" Shadow face palmed.

"More like what hasn't he been smoking?" Knuckles chimed in.

"Ha, ha, very funny." Sonic rolled his eyes. "But I assure you, that dream was trying to tell me something. Like... something really strange is going to happen."

Blaze shivered in her seat, despite Silver's arm being around her. Then, she had a feeling that she was being watched. She turned around, but saw no one. Sighing, she turned back around. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure was around the corner, relieved that Blaze didn't see him.

After breakfast, Silver and Blaze walked to their first class of the day, Calculus.

"Are you okay, Blaze? You looked a little woozy at breakfast." Silver observed, concerned.

"I-It's nothing. I'm okay." Blaze replied, leaning her head on his shoulder.

Then, Silver swiftly turned his head, his eyes narrowing. A shadow disappeared in a hot second.

"Silver? What's the matter?" Blaze asked, wondering why Silver was tense all of a sudden.

"Hmmm, nothing, I guess. My peripherals must be playing tricks on me." Silver said slowly.

Silver turned back around and continued their walk to class. The same hazy person was hiding again, still spying on Blaze.

"RSS to KF." He spoke into his recorder. "It turns out the target is in a relationship with an ordinary hedgehog. He is unconsciously aware of my activity. He may turn out to be a problem if the target is who I think she is."


By lunchtime, Blaze was shrouded in paranoia. The feeling of being watched never went away. She sat down at a vacant table in the dining hall as she waited for Silver.

Does this have anything to do with the weird dream I had? She wondered. Oh, what am I going on about? I've been feeling uneasy ever since I got here. It's just anxiety from being away from home, that's all.

Then, all of her fears flooded back into her mind when she saw a silhouette of a person behind her. Her reflexes got the better of her as she stood up and struck a punch.

"Blaze! Calm down! It's me!" Silver cried.

Blaze sweat dropped as she realized she knocked Silver tray of food into the air and onto the floor.

"I-I'm sorry..." Blaze murmured, bending down to try and clean up the mess.

"Blaze..." Silver took hold of her arm.

Flinching, Blaze tore her arm away. "I'll be right back."

Blaze stood up and hurried out of the dining hall, leaving Silver dumbfounded.

She headed for the nearest restroom. Luckily, the restroom was empty, so no noe could see her teary eyes. Blaze ripped off a paper towel, put under the faucet and ran cool water over it. As she was wiping her face, she could see the same silhouette leaving the restroom in a hasty fashion.

Without thinking, Blaze ran after the figure. Thanks to her sensitive ears, she could hear where he was going. The search led her to behind the dining hall. She crept up to it, and then jumped around the corner.

"I found you!" Blaze shouted.

The figure jumped in surprise.

"...hey, I remember you! Aren't you in my culinary class?" Blaze asked, her eyes narrowing.

In front of her was Geoffrey St. John, the British student body president.

"Indeed I am." Geoffrey replied.

"You're also the president, I recall. What the hell are you doing stalking me?" Blaze snapped.

"Stalking you?" Geoffrey repeated, feigning bewilderment.

"Don't play stupid with me!" Blaze shouted, flaring up. "I knew someone was following me! And I saw someone leave the girl's bathroom when I could've sworn it was empty. My search led to you!"

"Cool it, flamey." Geoffrey rolled his eyes. "Fine, you caught me. I was just doing my job, miss."

"Your job!? You pervert! I don't believe spying on girls is a job!"

"Whatever you say, girl. I do believe we got off on the wrong foot." Geoffrey told her. "Remember my name? I'm Geoffrey St. John. And you are?"

Blaze eyed Geoffrey suspiciously. "Blaze."

"Well, it's lovely to meet your acquaintance, my lady." Geoffrey said slyly, kissing her hand.

Suddenly, Silver ran up and crashed the party.

"Blaze! I've been looking everywhere for-!" Silver cut himself off as he stared at the misunderstanding scene in front of him.

"Hey, who the hell do you think you are!?" Silver shouted, balling his fist into Geoffrey's shirt. "You better not have done anything to Blaze!"

"Get your hands off of me." Geoffrey rolled his eyes, removing Silver's fist. "As if I would tarnish my reputation like that. I'm the student body president, remember? Besides, your girlfriend is the one who came to me. My work is done here, so if you two will excuse me, I have other business to attend to."

Straightening his shirt, Geoffrey walked away without looking back. Silver's harsh gaze then landed on Blaze.

"Silver!" Blaze said, exasperated. "This is not what you think!"

"First you attack me, then you blow me off, and now you're behind a building with the student body president? What the hell am I supposed to think?" Silver snapped, clenching his fists.

"Silver, just give me a minute to-"

Silver refused to listen. He stomped off in a fit of rage.

All Blaze could do was watch helplessly.

In my dream, you and I were together. We were holding hands and having a great time. Then...something was tugging at me, and I was suddenly being dragged away from you. I screamed for you, but you turned your back and walked away.

Could my dream... be coming to pass?

Meanwhile, Geoffrey was speaking into his recorder again.

"RSS to KF. The target's name is Blaze. Her last name is unidentified. After listening to these tapes, research that name immediately. Also, I take back what I said about her boyfriend. He might not be a problem after all. RSS out."

With a chuckle, Geoffrey walked back to the dining hall.


"Aw Silvie, are you still upset?" Graham whined.

That night, Silver was sulking on the couch in the suite.

"After what you were crying about earlier, this was all a misunderstanding, mate." Graham told him. "Didn't you say Blaze felt like she was being watched? That was probably hunky skunky Geoffrey!"

"Graham, don't call him a hunk." Silver moaned. "He was touching my girlfriend. And she didn't even fight him off."

"The heart of a woman is very feeble, dahling. Remember, I used to date girls. Even though Blaze seems very tough, she's still a woman. And Geoffrey kissing her hand is not a big deal. The bloke is British and of high status. He was probably taught that. It's not like they were humping like rabbits."

"Oh great, thanks for the image!" Silver snapped, turning over.

"The point is, Blaze did nothing wrong. You jumped to a conclusion too quickly." Graham pointed out.

"I know that..." Silver murmured. "It's just..."

Silver trailed off as he closed his eyes.

When Blaze brushed me off and I saw her with Geoffrey, I immediately thought of the dream she told me about. She said that in her dream someone was tugging her away, and I never looked back. It's starting to really bother me now. What should I do?


Yay, another traditional cliffhanger! How's that for a new chapter?

As you can see, the story is focusing more and more on Silver and Blaze, and that will happen more and more. This entire plot is Blaze. However, there will still be Shadeam, Sonamy, etc. and OCs.

Also, don't forget about Graham's New Zealand dialect. I realize some of the words are spelled incorrectly, but that's because of dialect.

Why was Geoffrey St. John stalking Blaze? What is he hiding? What is the "RSS" and "KF" he's referring to? Is Geoffrey really the cause of Silver and Blaze's fading relationship? Or is it something else?

I am on a strict no flames policy. No more trashy reviews! They WILL be removed, and you WILL be reported. LHNL is here to stay, and there's nothing any of you radical story reporters can do about it! It was reported ten times by ten different people in July, and guess what? It's still here!

So for those who support me, thank you show much for your encouragement!

And remember...

REVIEWS ARE LIKE PORN TO WRITERS, SO SATISFY OUR URGES!

Ja ne, minasan~! :3
