The fifth chapter… I hope you enjoyed the other chapters, hope you enjoy this one. Sorry about taking so long on the chapter. I have been having alot of homework lately. Anyway, the Sonic characters don't belong to me… they belong to SEGA.

Isis also doesn't belong to me… she belongs to Yokaichildofthesouth.

Mist belongs to me though.

I am going to change some things about the past, like I am also going to change Maria's age to 25, and she has a daughter (I know it doesn't make since but it just wouldn't make since to have Maria have a child when she is only about 12.)

Thanks Allybalybee for giving me some suggestions about what I should add

into the story.

Mist has brown hair and red eyes, but she hides her red eyes with hazel (she can do it with one of her powers), her hair is short, but grows quickly when she is mad, so she always carries a dagger so she can cut it short again. Her body is made up of pure muscle, in other words, no body fat. She has gashes that are in the same spots as Shadow's red streaks (Mist's gashes appeared after the encounter with Shadow for the first time).She is also alot like Sonic.

Isis has black hair, she is egyptian but moved to America and became friends with Mist, she has brown eyes and she is strong, but nowhere as strong as Mist. Isis is very quiet. In other words, Isis is the same as Shadow, because she actually she is, except for the chaos powers.

The Fifth Chapter: Troubling Thoughts

"My mother actually died years ago when I was very young. I never really knew her; all I know was that her name was Maria." That tipped Shadow off. So that's how she knew me, he thought. "So your Maria's daughter?" Shadow then asked Mist quietly, a quizzical look on his face. "Yeah…" she said as her voice trailed off.

Flash Back

"Yeah, it's my birthday, finally I'm fifteen," Mist exclaimed as she got out of bed. She snapped her fingers and she was dressed automatically. She heard her horrible stepmother call her so they could leave to go to the theater to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. "Ok, I'm comin'," Mist yelled in a disdainful voice. Then she heard her father yell that her friend, Isis, was here with her parents. As soon as he said they were there Mist ran down stairs, at mach 1 speeds (which she can run at mach 2). "Ok, I'm ready," she said. Then, they left to go see the movie. Later, Mist was talking to Isis when they got to the theater. They went straight inside because her father worked there so they were able to get free tickets for it. In the middle of the movie, Eggman made his strike. Robots came streaming in from all directions. Fire was everywhere; it was hard to find an exit, but when Mist saw that her father was dead on the ground with burns all over his body, she knew that he had tried his hardest to get a route out of the flames. But knew he had failed. She saw though, that he had made a good exit from where he tried to get out. Once everyone had noticed it then they tried to get out. But they saw that Mist was next to her father's body. They tried to get her to leave but she just wanted to die. Finally she let Isis' mother lead her.

When Mist was 5…

"Mom, I'm scared," Mist said. "Don't worry, he is really nice when you don't get him mad," Maria joked with her daughter. Then Maria heard shuffling above her and her daughter and looked up and said "Well I think he's here." Mist looked up and saw a black hedgehog with red steaks on his spines. He jumped from his spot and landed on top of Mist. "Oh, I forgot to tell you he can be rowdy and playful" Maria said with amusement in her voice as Shadow rolled on the ground with Mist, play-fighting. When Shadow let her up she was smiling which was rare because she was always like the Shadow we know today. Mist was enjoying herself even before she had met her great-grandfather. When Mist saw her great-grandfather she screamed and ran into him at about 50 mph, which knocked the air out of him. A few days later, Mist had already met almost every researcher on the ark. But, today her great-grandfather had to go to Earth to go his son. When he left, Mist was very disappointed to see him go. Her mother reassured her that he would be back soon.

End Flash Back

"You ok, Mist," Isis asked, concerned. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. It's just…"

Shadow was concerned now. Even for a human she was so different from all the other humans. But he wasn't just concerned, he was confused. When he looked at her, it felt like he was mad at her for some reason, but instead, mad at himself.

Okay, that was the chapter. I know it got confusing in the ending sentence; I kind of got confused also. You better thank me (you don't have to though) for making this chapter longer than the other chapters. Of course, the next chapter may take awhile. But I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
