(-In Reimi and Silver's House-Reimi's Room-In her Dream-)

I sat up on the ground where I was laying for some reason 'Wh-Where am I?' I asked myself looking around. I couldn't see anything but black everywhere I turned that's all I saw, It was a scary sight, and it had a bad feeling to it as well. 'Where is everybody...? Where are Silver and Blaze?' Just then I saw two animaloids, they looked like a hedgehog and a bat 'Maybe they'll know where everyone is...or at least where I'm at.' I said looking behind me feeling scared I ran to go catch them keeping my eyes behind me until I got closer to them 'Ex-excuse me! Can I ask you a question.' I said slightly out of breath

'Hey there sugar, why the scared look. What's a matter? Lost?' The Bat questioned putting a hand on her hip

'Y-yes I am, at least I think I am' I said shyly

'Well don't worry there hun, we'll help you. We wouldn't want a pretty little thing like you getting kidnapped, would we Shadow?' She smirked at the black hedgehog who was Shadow, or at least I guessed.

The hedgehog crossed his arms as he shook his head at the bat before walking towards me 'Don't worry about Rouge, she can just be a little tooforward at times.' Shadow said shaking his head once again as he looked at me

'O-okay...' I said putting a hand balled up to my mouth 'These two are so strange...but I feel like they can really help me find Blaze and Silver. But for some reason...' I glanced over to Shadow 'Shadow seems so familiar to me...like I've known him for so long...Since we were kids...' He's...really handsome as well...AH!' I shook my head and scolded myself on the inside 'Ahhh! Reimi this is no time to be thinking like that!!' I sighed and walked along with Shadow and Rough now, instead of behind them when I was thinking. We went around the abandoned town square not seeing anyone at all, it had a very creepy feeling about it.'Umm...is it always like this?' I questioned Shadow who was now walking in front of me

'Not usually...'Shadow replied rather coldly, not turning around and still walking on

'It's usually bustling with people, it's weird.' Rouge add in, then she looked like she saw something very important that we didn't 'Ah! Shadow I'll be right back, watch the girl.' She said flying off with a wave

I frowned 'I have a name you know, It's Reimi, sheesh...' I said crossing my arms

Shadow stopped walking, causing me to stop as well, then he looked over at me 'You're not used to people like that are you?' Shadow questioned as he looked to the city that was a Ghost town now.

I looked down at the ground and put my right hand on my left arm 'It's nothing personal, it's just...' I sighed deeply and rubbed my arm 'I just have a bad history with people like who are similar to that...'

Shadow turned around and walked towards me, laying a hand on my shoulder, causing me to jump a little 'Maybe you and I are more alike then it seems.' he said walking past me 'Let's hope things are better for you then my past...'

I raised my head up and turned to look at Shadow 'What? Wait a second! Where are you going?' I asked I started to follow him 'Wait a minute!' I called to him as I reached my hand out to grab Shadow's arm 'What do you mean?'

The ebon hedgehog turned around and said something as he walked away but I couldn't hear him.

'What?! I can't hear you! Don't leave! I don't understand, what's going to happen?! What are you trying to say?'

When he repeated it there was a loud screech then Iblis appeared and roared as he swiped his arm at me; but as it came close to a bright light blinded me and I blocked the light with my right arm then...

I woke up with a jolt sitting straight up on my bed, rubbing my head "Man...That was strange dream...I wonder what if meant..." I shook my head and got up off my bed and went over to my windowsill and sat down, bringing my right leg up to my chest and wrapping my arms around me knee. I stared out the window at the city, it seemed like everything was peaceful for once "...I'll figure it out later, right now I've got better things to worry about..." with that I stood up and walked to my closet opening it up and thinking about what I should wear 'Hmm...' I pulled out a white button up shirt and black cargo pants "I guess this is good enough for today." I undressed out of my pajamas and I got dressed in the clothes I had picked out. I then grabbed my with the fingers cut off gloves that went up over my elbows slightly, I rolled up my sleeves and then put them on. I then found my crystal cross choker, that my parents gave me for my 2nd birthday. After I had got all that on I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth after that I fixed my hair and put my headband on. "There, All done." I nodded to myself and went to the window, opening it up. I looked out to see if anything was happening in the outside world "...Mmm everything looks calm...for now anyways..." I sighed to myself "You know what they say, there is always calm before the big storm..." I shook my head and leaned against the windowsill then noticed that was someone at our door below "...That's not Blaze...is it?...She's early... but it doesn't really look like her..." I leaned as much forward as I could without falling to see if I could see the animaloid better "That's not Blaze...!" I gasped and covered my mouth so it wouldn't be heard "Hey! That's looks like..." I searched my memory of where I might have seen this this animaloid from, then an image from my dream appears "AH! That's the hedgehog from my dream! What's he doing here...?" I questioned myself before calling out to him "Hey!...Eh? Nani?!" The hedgehog right before my very eyes "How'd he do that?...and why was he here?" I shook my head and shrugged "No time to worry about that, I've got better things to worry about then a disappearing hedgehog. The other's might know more then I do about this." I stood up and walked out of my room, down the stairs and walked into the kitchen and looked around "Hmm I guess Silver is still asleep..." I yawned and stretched my arms out "That's a first though, Usually I'm up last..." I shrugged and started to make breakfast for us

(-In Silver's room-)

Silver tossed and turned in his bed as he grumbled words out "...Ugh...No...Iblis...Rei...no...don't do it...what?...NO!!" Silver woke up and sat straight up, clenching his bed sheets as he panted then wiping his forehead that was drenched with sweat from his awful nightmare "Ugh...Not again..." Silver laying his head in his hands "That same damn dream haunts me every night...at least since last Monday..." He sighed deeply "It's the same thing every time..." Silver moved the covers off him and sat at the edge of the bed and thought about his reoccurring nightmare 'It's always me and Reimi fighting Iblis for what seems like the last time...Then...' Silver shooks his head trying to get the terrible thoughts out of his head 'If it ever came to that...I don't know what would happen to all of us...' Silver sighed and grabbed his gloves off the nightstand next to his bed, he slipped them on over his hands as he looked at the clock "Hmm...I slept longer then usual...I wonder if Rei is up yet..." Silver put on his boots then walked out of his room, closing the door silently just in case Reimi was still asleep. Silver walked down the hall way and smelled something good. 'Ah That smells really good, Rei must be up and cooking breakfast.' Silver walked into the kitchen spying the Wolf-Cat making breakfast, he smiled to himself and leaned against the Doorway

I heard something behind me and turned to see what it was, then I smiled when I saw Silver "Morning Sleepy Head, You're up later then usual."

"Yeah, Yeah I know. Can't Help it though." Silver said with a shrug as he walked over to where I was and looked at what I was making "Pancakes and Hash? Smells really good."

"See, your not the only one that can cook." I said with a smirk

Silver rolled his eyes "Yeah, Yeah."

"Make your self useful and set the table, Every thing's almost done." I nudged Silver

"Alright, Alright I'm going, I'm going. Sheesh your so bossy." He said sticking his tongue out, grabbing the plates from the cabinet

"Haha...Shut Up! Or I'll hit you with this hot frying pan still full of food."

"You do I'll just catch it, Remember?" Silver replied with smirk

"Well...Dang I forgot about that." I said shaking my head "Which it should count as cheating but then again we have the same powers mostly."

Silver chuckled and shook his head "How can you forget that? It's kind of like forgetting you have legs or a tail!"

I gasped and looked at my tail "Oh My-! I have a tail?!" I joked and laughed as I set the food on a plate then put it on the table "I can't help it, I just have alot of things on my mind."

"Really? Well you know you can talk to me if you need to." Silver nodded rubbed his eyes, yawning slightly

"Yeah I know, I will if it gets too bad." I nodded and went to go get the silverware

"Okay..." Silver looked outside the window but then remembered something from his nightmare 'You can't save them, You can't save her! Trying to escape is futile! Either way she'll die.' Silver tried to shake the thought from his mind and grabbed my arm, which stopped and pulled me back

"Silver? What's wrong?" I said my ears drooping

"Ah, oh nothing, Never mind." He said letting go of my arm and sitting down

"Oh...ok, You know you can tell me If something's wrong." I looked down at the ground then went to go get the silverware before handing one set to Silver and taking a seat "Thank you for the Food."

Silver picked up his fork and played with it for awhile then he spoke up "Hey...Reimi..." He said rather quietly and sadly

I stopped eating and looked over at Silver tilting my head "Yeah Silver?"

"Um...Have you ever had like...Really bad nightmares...? Like reoccurring or ones that seemed so real you think they're going to happen?"

I thought for a moment "...Well Not lately but I have had a dream that was kind of like that...Why?"

Silver laid his fork down and sighed before speaking "Well...Lately...I've been having this really bad nightmare...About Iblis and...well what seems like it's our last battle..."

I nodded for Silver to go on, I laid my head in my hand listening to Silver

"And every time...at the end of the battle...Iblis takes control over you...and Makes you try to kill me..."

I looked shocked and grabbed the edge of the table "What..? I do What?!" I asked my hands shaking "Th-That's terrible.." I said shakily

"Yeah...having the same nightmare over and over really sucks..." Silver said quietly, sighing deeply and shaking his head "Sorry, I didn't mean to be a downer I was just...you know curious and stuff.."

"Nah, Don't worry about it, I understand. Now eat up so we won't be late to training." I said pointing with my thumb over to the clock "You know what happens when we're late."

"Yeah I know." Silver shook his head and started eating

(-An Hour Later-Outside Silver and Reimi's House-)

"Argh, I'm so tired now." I said rubbing my eyes yawning slightly then stretching my arms out beside me

"Your telling me that cooking, and eating wore you out?" Silver said tilting his head at me as he locked the door

"Argh Shut up, I didn't sleep good. So I have a reason." I frowned, crossing my arms

"I'm just joking Rei, Chill." He said hitting me lightly on the head

"Yeah, Yeah, whatever." I said rolling my eyes and looking up at the sky "...Hey Silver...Do you...Do you think we'll ever beat Iblis...?" My ears drooped

Silver looked over at me then to the sky as well "Well I think we can beat him, we have to find a way and defeat him once and for all one day. I know we can." Silver said with a nod

"...Yeah, your right." I said with a smile then looked down at my belt 'For Some reason...something feels off...like I'm missing or forgetting something' I thought to myself for a moment then my eyes widen and I Yelled "...AH!! MY SWORD!!!" I grabbed my face in horror and stopped dead in my tracks

Silver stopped "What? What about your sword Rei?"

"It's Missing! I don't have it with me! and I always have it!!! AHHH!!! The Midnight Blood was something my Dad gave me before he passed away!" I threw my hands up in the air and sighed "Ahh..."

Silver put his hand on my shoulder and spoke gently "Hey Don't worry Rei, we'll find it I promise."

I sighed deeply and nodded

"Do you at least remember where you had it last?" Silver questioned

"...Well I had it yesterday when we were battling Iblis, well actually...I had it before that and I don't remember using it after I got attacked."

"We'll look there then come on." Silver grabbed my hand and started to walk in the direction of where we were yesterday

"Ah but we're gonna be late Silver." I pulled at his hand

"Ah don't worry, Blaze'll understand." He said with a nod

"Ok, fine..." I let go of Silver's hand and saw the alleyway that looked like the one I was in the other day "Hey Silv, this looks like the place." I started to look around for my sword "Argh, where is it...That creep better not have walked off with it or they'll be Hell to pay." I growled to myself

"Calm down Reimi, it's got to be here somewhere." Silver searched everywhere he could see

I plopped down on the ground and whined to myself my ears all the way down "Ehhh it's hopeless, if it was still here it'd be a miracle. If anyone saw that sword it'd be gone in a flash." I closed my eyes and put my hands over them 'Maaaan dad would kill me if he was still here...ugggh how could I lose something so-'

"HEY! Rei I found it!" Silver yelled, calling me over

I sat up quickly and looked over to Silver "EH?! What? You found it!!" I jumped up and ran over to where Silver was and saw my sword and picked it up "MY SWORD!!! You Really did find it! Oh Thank you so much Silver" I gave Silver a big hug almost knocking him over

"Haha No problem Rei, just glad you found it." He smiled and patted my head causing me to growl

"Quit treating me like a little kid..." I pouted then heard my watch beep "Ah Crap we're late for training! Come on, we got to move!" I attached my sword to my belt and started running for Blaze's house

"Oh Right! We're in trouble now. If you hadn't of lost your sword.."

"ARGH! It's Not My Fault I got ambushed the other day!! Besides you were then one that Said 'LET'S GO LOOK FOR IT'!" I shot a glare over at him and growled

"Well you shouldn't have forgotten it if it was so important." Silver scolded

"Oh Just shut up and run!" I said continuing to glare at him 'Bad enough we're late...Ahhh I just hope Blaze doesn't kill us.'

(-To Be Continued-)
