"Silver, get ready." Shadow called from downstairs.

"For what?" I yelled. I still wasn't awake.

"You know for what." Sonic said, bursting into my room.

I looked at him and got out of bed. "Really… where are we going?" I asked.

"Shadow rented a boat at the beach."

I tilted my head to the side. "When did this happen?"

"…" He paused. "I forgot to tell you. Didn't I?"

"Apparently." I said getting ready. I made sure that this time I didn't forget my sunscreen.

I came cascading down the stairs with Sonic at my heels.

"About time." Shadow huffed. "It's your time to drive."

"You got it." I said sadly as I walked away from them.

Once again Sonic was the first one in the car. But he wasn't the annoying backseat driver. Which was good.

I started the car and waited for Shadow to get all of our stuff in the trunk.

Once he got in I pulled out of the driveway.

I had to make a sudden stop.

"Amy what is wrong with you?" Sonic asked.

I swore under my breath and Shadow rolled his eyes.

"Hi guys. Where ya going? Without me…"

"To the beach…" Sonic said.

"SONIC!" both Shadow and I yelled.

"What? I was telling her the truth." Sonic pouted.

"I wanna go." Amy wined.

"Sorry Amy. Guys night out." I said.

"You guys are so weird."

"And yet you always wanna hang out with us." Shadow said angrily.

"Amy could you move you ass. We have to hit the road." I swore.

She made a face at me then moved. "Have a nice time guys." She said. But there was something weird about they way she said it.

We continued on our way.

We finally made it to the beach. I was just glad that I remembered where it was at…without the map.

Shadow grabbed the cooler and we headed onto the beach.

"Amy?" I called.

"Oh hi guys. Funny seeing you here." She laughed.

I was pissed. "Move bitch."

"Wow Silver. Didn't get a lot of sleep I see."

"What can I say? I get pissed off easily."

Amy moved out of the way and we hopped on the boat.

Hours and a few drinks later we decided to head back to the beach.

Shadow was having trouble starting the boat.

"Silver…" Shadow called on me.

"Yeah…?" I asked grabbing a pole.

"You don't think…?" He trailed off.

I put the pole in the gas tank. "We have a problem. We're out of gas."

"But they said it would be filled to the top."

I thought about it for a minute. "…Amy…"

"What?" Sonic asked.

"Amy did this."

"Makes perfect sense to me. I mean Amy did wanna go with us. And we did tell her 'no'. And Sonic did tell her where we were going." Shadow said.

"I would wanna get revenge on you guys too." I huffed.

"Hey, you're apart of this too ya know." Sonic and Shadow said.

"I was just the driver. Who even said I wanted to go?" I argued.

"Well you got ready and came with us." Shadow argued back.

"Yeah Silver." Sonic added.

"Shut up Sonic." Shadow puffed out a breath of air. "We'll just stay here I guess."

"And where are we gonna go?" I wasn't done arguing with them.

"Silver, sit down and shut up!" Shadow growled.

I sat down with hot tears swelling in my eyes. My crying sensation soon left me when I spotted a little island.

"Hey guys?" I called. "Do you see what I see?"

"Where?" Sonic turned to look.

"Off in the distance." I pointed out.

"I don't see anything Silver." Shadow pouted.

"Well that's because you're not looking." I said levitating in the air. "Oh well. Maybe im just seeing things again." I sat back on the boat. I yawned. The sun was making me tired.

It seemed to be doing the same for the others.

My eyes closed with one final yawn.

I woke up in the middle of the night. I looked around and saw that I wasn't seeing things after all. There really was an island there. And the boat had docked. The island wasn't so tiny after all. But it did look deserted.

Hopped off the boat and went to look around on the weird island. I had to be brave. Because if the others woke up we'd never be able to leave this forsaken land.

But I was too late. By the time I had returned Sonic and Shadow were up.

"Fuck." I cursed at the wind.

"Planning on abandoning us I see." Shadow said angrily.

"No Shadow. Not at all. I was just hoping that we could get out of here. So I went to go look around to see if my hunch was correct or not."

"You can leave you know." Shadow was still angry with me.

"Shadow, I don't know the way home. Or I would have a while ago."

"I see."

"No not like that. I would have taken you guys along too. You know I love you guys."

"As soon as we get home, you're packing your things up and leaving."

"Shadow!"

"Shadow…he has nowhere to go." Sonic was the voice of reason.

"That's not my fault anymore. Im sure his job can get him a new house, far away from me." Shadow walked away from us.

I tried to hold back the tears in my eyes. But I just couldn't do it.

Sonic kept looking at Shadow then at me.

I ran away from them with tears rolling down my face. I need a friend at the moment. A friend like Blaze.

Minutes slowly lagged on, which turned into hours. Hours turned into days. Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. And months turned into time that was forgotten.

I watched, from in a tree, as Sonic and Shadow had fun in the water. They hadn't talked to me in what seemed like forever. And I was slowly losing my mind.

I hopped out of the tree and headed deeper into the forest. To where my house was. I lived on my own, far away from Shadow and his ways. It was for the best. I didn't feel like dying.

But to them I already was dead.

My stomach growled in hunger. I grabbed a banana and devoured it within seconds. But it didn't seem like enough. I didn't need food. I was hungry for love. Love from the horny hedgehogs that used to care about me.

I could hear something in the distance, over the laughter of Shadow and Sonic. It almost sounded like a helicopter. But I thought nothing of it.

"SILVER!" I heard Shadow and Sonic yell.

I flew in a daze to where I knew they were.

Sonic ran over to me and got me to land. "Silver, help has come."

I could hear him but I was so empty inside that it was like I didn't understand what he was saying.

"Silver, you okay?" Shadow asked.

I was going numb. I lost all feeling in my arms. Soon to come was my legs.

Shadow picked me up and walked me over to the helicopter.

"What's wrong with the kid?" the pilot asked.

"We don't know. Im sure he'll snap out of it soon." Shadow said.

"Shadow, look at his eyes." Sonic said getting close to me. I didn't even look at him though. "They're hazy. What do you think is wrong with him?"

"I don't know." Shadow said being Mr. Cool.

We soon made it back to the launch pad, close to where the beach was.

"Did he snap out of it yet?" The co pilot asked.

"No. we don't know what's wrong with him." Sonic said.

"Im sure he just needs a good night sleep." Mr. Cool said aka Shadow. "We'll take him now."

"Thank you for helping us. We'd been trapped on that island for god only knows how long." Sonic said.

"If Silver would start talking to us, he'd tell us." Shadow laughed.

Shadow still carried me. Which I just didn't know why.

We soon got out of the car.

"Amy?" Sonic called.

"Guys? You're all right!" Amy cheered.

"No thanks to you." Shadow huffed.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what we mean." Shadow growled.

"Guys I didn't think that would happen. I didn't think-"

"That we would make it back." Shadow interrupted.

"Well it doesn't look like you all returned. Look at Silver." She said messing with my quills.

"We don't know what's wrong with him." Sonic said sadly.

"I'll leave you then. Shall I get Blaze? She might be able to help with this problem."

"If he doesn't come back to us in a week, then you can get Blaze to help."

Amy walked away.

And Shadow walked inside the house. "Wow this place is filthy." Shadow put me down on my bed.

As soon as he left I dazedly packed all my things up in a backpack. It was like I had no control over what I was doing. I put my packed things under the couch. I lay back in my bed.

Well a week went by without me eating or sleeping or moving from that spot.

"Call Blaze." Shadow said to Sonic.

"On it."

Shadow picked me up and carried me over to the couch.

Soon Blaze made it to the house.

"What's wrong with him?" She asked.

"We were hoping that you could tell us." Sonic said.

"He's been like this for a week already. Maybe even longer then that." Mr. Cool said.

"His eyes will tell his tale. If you bother to look." She hissed.

I could see her looking deep into my eyes. Into my soul.

"Well?" Sonic asked impatiently.

"His breathing seems slower then normal. So does his heartbeat. He's been starving himself. But he's not hungry for food. He's hungry for love. For forgiveness. He's begging. He's desperate. He's dead on the inside." She paused. "Silver, come back to us. To me." She said planting a soft kiss on my lips.

I blinked my eyes. I could see clearly again. "Blaze." I pulled her close. "I have to find another place to live." I whispered into her ear.

She nodded and helped me to my feet. She helped me walk to me room and grab my things.

I rail grinded down the stairs. With my backpack on my back.

"Silver?" Shadow called.

"You told me that when we got home that I had to move far away from you." I paused. "All I wanted was you." I said walking out the door.

"Silver! Don't do this. I didn't mean what I said. I said it out of anger."

"I don't care Shadow. You said it anyway!"

I found a nice live on my own. Right in the middle of the dark woods. I disappeared from my friend's minds. And I became 'Silver the wolf."
