-Maria POV-

It was hot that day, or maybe it was just me. I was left alone with Amy at the apartment, but not a single thing was said. Amy had gotten out of the shower and then into her room, to never be heard from again. Maybe I should check on her. I sighed looking at the clock. It was so late already that the sun was setting. I wonder where the guys are? I looked around the living room to see all sorts of pictures of Amy, Manic, Cream, and Big. The Squad, we called them. To be honest I was an outsider coming in many years ago. I was in an accident, so I don't recall anything of what happen before the age of 11. Here I am 13 years later, not 24. I made friends that I care about, Scourge mostly. I don't have any romantic feelings for him though, I have a sense of that he was always my family, even though he told me countless times that he wasn't. When I first got to Mobius, it was lonely, but I managed and everyone was friends with each other, but then everything went down in high school with Amy and the Henderhog triplets. It wasn't Amy's fault though, but Sonic and Sally. I couldn't really say anything back then, even now I can't say for sure why I didn't speak up. I assume the same goes for Scourge, I mean he was dating Fiona. I shook my head as I looked at Amy's door. Should I knock? I go to the door as I was about to knock, I heard noises, When did she get a guy in there? I took a step back as I knocked over a few books on a near by table, which caused Amy to call out, "Is everything ok Maria?" I gasp as I blushed heavily, it was then I heard some muffling and then some foot steps. That guy is probably leaving through the window Just as I was sighing, the bedroom door flung open to reveal the guy from earlier in just his jeans.

"Maria?" he was trembling, his eyes got all watery as he smiled. "it is you Maria." he pulls me into a tight hug. "I thought you were dead, I saw you get shot." My eyes go big as I looked up at Amy, she was shocked too as she had on a robe.

"I don't know who you are so let me go." I tried to get away as he loosens his grip still holding me. He had on a sad face.

"It's me Shadow, your brother." My heart stopped and the word Brother spins around in my head as I then blacked out. The last thing I heard was Amy and Shadow calling my name.

-Shadow POV-

I held onto Amy tightly as I kissed her all over, she moaned ever so slightly, which drove me crazy, I leaned up against her ear as I whispered how beautiful she was. My hands traveled all across her body, everything was clear now, all of it was my happiness, she was my world. I love her. After some time we were still doing it until we heard a bang sound. Amy sat up as she blushed and then she looked up at me and then back the door as she reached for the robe. I got up to put on my clothes as if the look was a way of saying to leave. I followed through until I heard Amy say, "Is everything ok Maria?" I looked up at Amy as she said Maria, No it can't be, there's obviously more than one Maria in the world. It wasn't until I heard this Maria speak, that I knew that it was my Maria, my little sister.

"Maria." I whispered which caused Amy to look over to me.

"Shadow are you ok?" I nodded, but when I looked in the mirror my face was white like I had just seen a ghost. I quickly go for the door to see Maria stand before me. Amy had just gotten up from the bed to see the scene before me. It is Maria. oh Maria. A wave of emotions swirled inside me as I smiled, but tears began to flow. I hugged her as a result in that and telling her that I am her brother she passed out. I leaned down to pick her up as my motion me to put her in one of the extra rooms. She helped fix her as she walks out to the living room to where I was. she sits in a chair across from the sofa. It was silent. She finally cleared her throat and moved the hair out of her face. "So Maria is your sister?" was all she said as she smiled up at me. I nodded ever so slightly. "I'm glad she is." I looked up at her as I was confused I want her to elaborate on that. As I was about to ask she said, "13 years ago my father took her in and cared for her like she was his own daughter and she my sister. I wanted her to remember her past before her incident had occurred. She couldn't move, speak, nothing. She was paralyzed for so long. I wanted her to find her real family, but their was no way to find them." My eyes look down to my hands, Amy then leans up to hold them as our eyes meet. "It's not your fault if that's what your thinking." She leaned over to me to kiss my cheek. "You are here now, so be the best brother you can be." I smiled up at her as I thought I love you more than ever Amy with all my heart. I leaned up to kiss her as I brought her closer to me as she sat on my lap. I cupped her face as I kissed her. She giggled as she sank into my grasp, I held onto her tightly. This is my safe place.

-Manic POV-

We couldn't do it alone, not now, not ever, scourge was piss and me and Luna had to bring him down. "Scourge stop it you idiot." Luna screamed out to Scourge in his ear as it just made him more pissed off. This is it, it's all over now. He pushed us to the side as he charges into the house and up by the window I see a smiling Sonic, What the actually fuck is wrong with him? He made all our lives miserable with his bullshit, even now when we made a name for ourselves away from him, he still made us feel like shit, like we didn't matter to anyone. I was gay, Luna is a head strong independent women, Scourge is Scourge, he just wanted us to be what ever he wants us to be. I never really understood him, even in high school with Amy. I dated her, Scourge dated her, but he never did, but he raped her, was there something to do with rejection that got his grudge against Amy, that's just a theory I suppose. He was like our father Julius, a very traditional man, being gay was a sin, being independent for a girl is a sin, screwing around with multiple girls was a sin, but Julius never knew the real Sonic, he slept with girls from left to right and he got away with it because he was the jock, on honor role, everything he did was smooth, while the rest of us were no good. Sonic and Scourge are twins, it's just they have different hair colors, while I looked more like Luna despite me and her not being related by blood, but I had the same color hair as Scourge if that's worth anything, And then you have my older sister Sonia, she was the perfect daughter. She was 30, married and had already two kids. She was to come at anytime now to be honest. I sighed as I heard crashing inside, me and Luna ran inside to see Sonic and Scourge on their knees on the floor being yelled by Sonia.

"I swear you two are just unbelievable, you two are children who may I say are worse than children. I mean how in the fuck do you expect for me to give you this house when the two of you are such." She stopped herself as her anger face turned into a nice bright smile. "Manic, Luna dear, how are you both?" Me and Luna couldn't help, but laugh as we went up to hug her. This is my family, the sadistic Sonic, the badass Scourge, the sweet head strong Luna, The motherly Sonia, and me the gay out cast. This is the Henderhog familia. Our secret we are the mafia of Mobius.
