Silver's Part-Chapter 3

In the previous chapter:

"Heh, her plan SO backfired!" Silver thought as he went to bed, proud of himself that he tricked ROUGE when she was trying to trick him into going on a date with Blaze. Yeah, he wanted a date with Blaze, but he wanted to be SURE that she liked him first. As he went to sleep, he had the weirdest dream….

Silver was dreaming happily at first… A dream with him and Blaze running through a meadow, holding hands. Both of them were smiling and Blaze started to laugh. He was smiling in his sleep, but then the dream took a turn for the worse. In his dream, a flash of red blinded both of them, and a shockwave sent both of them flying backwards. He heard Blaze scream, and he jumped up from the ground, worried. The sky had now turned red, and it looked like Iblis had returned. He ran to where Blaze was, but she was now unconscious. "BLAZE!" he yelled, tears coming to his eyes. He picked her up and ran to somewhere safe, but a fire wall came up in front of him. He skidded to a stop and ran another direction. A fire wall blocked his way again, and he ran in another direction. Being blocked off a third time, he became determined to save Blaze from what was happening, even if it meant he had to take his own life.

He turned the only direction left, only to be facing ANOTHER fire wall. He had nowhere to go… He might HAVE to take his own life to protect Blaze. He wouldn't let her die. A flash of red blinded him and Blaze was gone… Only he was standing there, amongst the fire. "Silver…." a voice said. It was a deep voice, and he never heard it before. "Who are you? WHERE are you? Where is Blaze?" he demanded. "Silver, Blaze has left you for good," the voice said. "NO! It's not true! I won't believe that!" he yelled back, angry now. "Blaze is gone now Silver… forget about her…" the voice said again. Silver was succumbing to the statement. "Blaze is gone… Blaze is gone… Blaze is gone…" the statement echoed over and over in his mind.

"No… it can't be… she can't be gone…. It's impossible…" he said, tears coming to his eyes. "Silver, I can reunite you with her…. All you have to do is stand still… and feel the pain, then you shall be with her…" the voice said. Silver just nodded, not even worrying about this "pain" the voice was talking about. A flame began to consume him and he woke up.

"AHHHH!" Silver screamed. He looked around, breathing heavily. He put his hand to his furry chest. "Fur, arms, legs, hair…" he said quietly, checking to make sure he was in one piece. "That was a scary dream… worse nightmare EVER! At least it WAS just a dream…" he said quietly to his self. Sonic burst into the room, and he looked ready to attack. "I heard a scream! You OK, Silver?" Sonic asked, searching the room for danger. "No, it was just a dream… a bad, bad dream…" he replied. Sonic asked, "What kind of dream was it?" Silver explained the whole thing. Sonic just laughed. "Odd, I had the same dream, except it was Eggman that died, and I wasn't trying to save him, nor was I too sad about it. Didn't bother even TRYING and we were FIGHTING in a field… I was punching and he was saying 'Ow! Why you blue little pest!' and I was the one laughing," he added. Silver laughed at the joke. "What if that was a sign?" he asked. Sonic just shrugged. "Who can say? If it was, you better take action!" replied Sonic. Silver just sighed. "What kind of sign could it be…?" he wondered. Sonic said, "Well, if ya have that dream again, try not to scream…" Silver nodded. "Don't blame ME if I do. I hated that dream," he added. Sonic just went back to his room and Silver heard him say "Nothing happened Tails… Silver just had a nightmare" and Silver smiled, knowing that his friends were worried.

He went back to sleep… but better dreams didn't await him. This time, the dream picked up right where it left off. A flame started to consume him, but it was stopped. He opened his eyes, and tears came anew. It was a spirit in front of him. BLAZE'S spirit. "Blaze…?" he asked, his voice cracking from sadness and happiness coming forth. The spirit nodded. "That was the voice of evil. You let it influence you. I am never truly gone. I will always be with you… in your heart," Blaze's spirit said, smiling. Silver just lost hope of ever being ever to tell Blaze how he felt. The spirit began to fade away. "Blaze! Don't leave me… please…" he said, tears flowing from his eyes. The spirit only said "I'll always be with you, Silver" as it faded away. That sentence stayed in his mind and he fell to his knees. "It's over… no point in living… without Blaze…" he sobbed.

He woke up again. This time he felt something wet on his cheek. He was crying in his sleep too? He got a tissue, shook the dream out of his mind, then had a realization moment. He knew what the sign was now! He had to let Blaze know his feelings, or he might let the opportunity slip by him… for good! He wrote a note. It read:

"To Blaze"

And on the inside, its contents were:

"I really like you. I had a terrible nightmare, and I realized a sign within it. I wanted to know if you liked me back. If you got this and you DO like me, meet me in the park at noon at the center bench. You'll recognize me by the bouquet of roses I'll have."

Then he wrote the date, and sealed it. Then he crept out of the house. The time was 3:32am. He silently went to the house where Blaze and the others were staying and used his psychokinetic powers to slip the note under the door. He went back home and stayed up, too worried that he would have the dream again.

Hmm, I wonder if Blaze will figure out who it is on her own…? Come back for the next chapter! Blaze's part will reveal it this time!
