Silver was in the kitchen cooking with other children and Sonic, when different thoughts kept pushing themselves into his mind, which was preventing him from concentrating on the food that was in front of him
'How could I escape?' Silver thought while just moving his hands around in the raw meat causing attention from Sonic 'Maybe I can climb out of the windows some how, yea throw a rope up there, there has to be a hook here somewhere'
"Hey bud" Sonic said while walking up behind him startling the young hedgehog making him shake slightly "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you, but what exactly are you doing?" Silver then noticed his hands pushed into the raw meat, not showing any part of them
Silver blushed then took them out seeing juice from the meat all over them, Silver gave a look of disgust then turned towards Sonic
"I'm sorry" Silver apologized innocently
"It's ok, just go wash them off" Sonic ordered, he then sighed and walked over to the meat prepared to do it himself "Why don't you go back to your room also, it looks like you need some sleep" Sonic said while grinding his fists' into the wet pink beef
"What?" Silver asked turning around causing water to drip onto the floor
"Yea you don't look so good and I don't want you to be unfocused while your cooking food for the entire building" Silver looked down, this could be a good opportunity to escape and hopefully find Shadow
"Ok Master Sonic" Silver said while starting towards the door
"And I told you to just call me Sonic" he yelled before the young one walked out, he then grinned and chuckled while continuing on the meat
In Silver's room he was thinking of how to escape the building and be exposed to the outside world, he then noticed that it would be no easy task and he would probably need some help from friends and he knew just who to ask

"What's in it for me?" Christopher asked while walking around the exercise room with Silver following
"Come on you always ask me to do Something bad with you, and now once I actually want to do one you want something in it for you" Silver replied
"Well it's different, that's when I want to do something" Silver's ears folded back
"But it will allow you to escape and be free of this house!" Silver practically yelled hoping that's what Christopher would want
"Nah I like it here, it gives you food, and a bed that you don't even have to pay to for" Silver huffed
"But-"
"No" Christopher interrupted "I don't even feel like it" Christopher said while sitting down on a rest couch then Sprawling out on it
"Since when do you decline to break the rules?" Silver asked
"Hm good question, but the answers still 'no'" Silver growled, Chris can be such a jerk sometimes, no scratch that, all the time
Silver walked out of the room miserably, thinking of what to do, how could he escape? His thinking got interrupted when he got pulled over to the side
"What the?" Silver yelled about to roundhouse the person who jerked him
"Relax it's just me" Robbie said as he let go of Silver
"Oh god, don't scare me like that!" Silver said, being pulled was new for him as far as he was concerned, but for some reason once he got pulled he felt worried as if it happened to him before or like he had a bad experience with it
"Sorry, anyway what were you doing in there with Christopher?" Robbie asked while he followed Silver who started walking
"Nothing I was just talking to him that's all" Silver replied
"There's no 'that's all' when It comes to Chris" Robbie said sternly
"Come on Robbie don't get your soft, doggie, ears into a knot, nothings going on"
"Are you sure" Silver knew he wouldn't win this as well as Robbie, Silver couldn't lie to his best friend
"Ok I want to break out"
"WHAT!!!" Robbie screamed
"No wait you didn't let me-!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU now Christopher I can see BUT YOU NO!"
"You didn't even let-"
"I THOUGHT I RAISED YOU BETTER THEN THAT!"
"But I! Wait raised? Anyway you didn't even-"
"AND AFTER ALL THE TIMES I TAUGHT YOU TO STAY CLEAN!"
"ROBBIE LISTEN TO ME" Silver's outburst caused faces to turn towards them and Robbie to go quiet, Silver sighed "Come here" Silver started dragging Robbie towards his room to explain everything fully
"Now what is it?" Robbie said as he crossed his arms against his chest, Silver sighed
"Master Sonic said some guy named Shadow rescued me and brought me to this house, he said that, that guy had ruby colored eyes the same eyes that used to be the only thing I could remember from my past, and now, oh now I know that he's out there somewhere and I want to find him"
"Find him!?! Silver that was three years ago do you even know what he looks like!?!?"
"Well no…but Sonic said that he was ebony" Silver lifted a finger to count "and had red streaks on his arms, legs, and quills!" Silver then smiled
"Well how do you know he's even here still" Robbie said while sitting on Silver's bed "Heck he could be dead" Silvers ear twitched and then he pounced on Robbie
"Don't say that!" Silver yelled
"But it's true! You don't know!" Silver looked down, yes that could be true, but he didn't want to think that
"No I know it's not true he's probably still alive and probably extremely healthy" Robbie looked down
"Silver…." There was a silence between the two they didn't steal a glance at each other or anything, Silver then walked over and sat next to the worn out dog
"So are you with me?" Silver asked turning his head towards him
"Silver I don't know" Robbie said staring at his hands
"But I really want to find this guy, a-and if we can't find him we can come back!" Silver smiled just a little, making Robbie manage a smile
"Ok then Silver, if this is what you want I'll do it but I probably won't like it" Robbie said, the canine got up and walked towards the door
"You know Robbie you don't have to come" Silver said looking at him, Robbie turned around and stared at the Ivory hedgehog
"Your right" Silver's ears folded back but he managed a smile "But who else would have the brains to get you out of trouble?" that made Silver's small smile turn into a beam, which made Robbie beam too
"Ok then we'll meet up tonight and plan it all out deal!?!" Silver said a little excited since he hasn't really been out of the house except for a few play times in the backyard
"Ok see you then" Robbie said then walked out, Robbie kept on a straight face the whole time but deep down he was petrified
---
It was about eleven O' Clock, Silver threw his legs over the bed again then stretched, he didn't get much sleep that night, his mind was too tied up with thoughts that it was impossible to get any rest.
Silver put on his boots, straightened his fur out, then tip toed out while trying not to disturb his roommates
The door slid open when he came face to face with Baker the Leopard, who was wearing just some sweat pants
"Where are you going?" He asked Silver
"Oh um to the bathroom" Silver lied
"Oh…you better be careful one of the Masters is in there, he's really horny" He said in a whisper
"Oh ok…thanks for the heads up" Silver said as he started walking out of the room
"No problem" Baker said as he walked back into there room
Silver walked out tip toeing not wanting anyone to hear his footsteps, he still didn't know how this would turn out, all he knew is that he needed to get to the exercise room which would be a little difficult knowing masters are practically around every corner.
Silver walked towards the wall and laid his back against it while looking over the side to see if he could glimpse any kind of movement or any animal frame, it was kind of hard because of the darkness in the halls, usually they would have little flashlights to guide there way.
Silver guessed no one was there but just to be sure he walked even slower and looked around more.
Silver got to the edge when suddenly a light appeared right next to where he was standing; Silver panicked and ran back forgetting to be quiet
"Huh? Who's there?" one of them called, Silver was so too nervous to even recognize the voice, so he kept jogging
The person behind him sped up to get near him, which was a simple task since he was faster then the young one
"Silver?" He said as he held Silver by the arm
"Master Sonic!" Silver said looking up, Sonic growled slightly "Oh sorry… Sonic"
"What are you doing out here?" Sonic asked still looking down at him
"Um I well" Silver didn't know what to tell him, he couldn't tell him about the plan but he had to make up an excuse to get out of there "I left my jacket in the exercise room!" Silver lied
"Oh….Well come on let's go get it" Sonic said while starting towards the room
"N-No I'll get it my self!" Silver said while running in front of him and sticking his arms up
"What are you hiding?" Sonic asked as he cocked an eyebrow
"Oh nothing" Silver lied again while laughing nervously "I just want to do it myself, I don't get that many chances to walk in the halls at night, unless I have to use the bathroom that is, but this is the perfect opportunity"
Sonic looked strangely at Silver, he knew he was hiding something but didn't know what, and he had to find out
"Ok go on, but here" Sonic reached in the back pocket of his pants and pulled out a notepad then he felt around in the same pocket a little then checked the other one until he found a pen, he then put it against the wall and started writing on it
"If anyone catches you tell them you have my permission" Sonic handed the note to Silver
"Thank you Ma- I mean Sonic" Silver smiled sweetly then darted off towards the exercise room where he really was meeting up with Robbie, but Silver couldn't shake off the feeling he was being watched.
--- Three years ago (The night Silver woke up)
"Ah here we go Shadow, apparently his parents died in a fire and he was the only one who could escape" Shadow's ear flicked in response "It seems that he has been living on his own for who knows how long"
"So that means he's an orphan" Shadow said staring at the small hedgehog
"Yes" Bain walked over and rested his hand on Silver's forehead making him stir in his sleep; he just turned over on his side then back again "I guess where keeping another one then"
After the ferret said that Shadow stood up, and crossed his arms
"Hmm unless….you want to keep him…" Bain said gazing up at Shadow
"Are you kidding? I have better things to do then take care of a kid I don't even know"
"But that's the thing Shadow; the fluid in the needle erases every child's mind that we find, so he won't remember a thing except the last thing he saw"
"Well the last thing he saw was probably my fur" Shadow turned around "Now if you excuse me I'm leaving"
"Ah, oh where are you going Shadow?" Bain asked getting up and running towards him
"Wherever my feet take me" and that was the last thing Shadow said before he ran off into the night, yes Shadow really did want to go but deep inside he knew he wanted that kid he just knew it, but he couldn't let him live with Shadow, there were just sights that shouldn't be seen as a kid, and he knows that from experience.
Silver started to stir in his sleep again, his eyes opened to see a gray room with little light, he whimpered a little then sat up, looking around he didn't see really anything to make him feel more comfortable
There were a bunch of computers and tables with test tubes and microscopes, vials, plastic funnels, Scales, and other instruments used in science.
Silver started getting scared he didn't know what was going on; he looked around and behind him but didn't see anything, or anyone for that matter that is until he heard a voice.
"Ah you're finally awake!" Said a ferret walking over towards the confused hedgehog "You were out for hours, I guess we gave you a little too much Melatonin"
Silver looked around not saying anything, he was still confused and couldn't remember anything… except, ruby colored eyes
"I want you to take a few tests ok?" Bain said while walking over to one of the overfilled tables, he started toying with the items up there trying to find something "Ah ha!" He said in triumph as he held up a thermometer
Bain walked back over to Silver with the thermometer in hand
"Open your mouth and hold this under your tongue" Silver hesitated at first but then opened his mouth praying that he wasn't going to get poisoned or something, Bain shoved the thermometer under his tongue then walked back over to the table
Silver sat there, he was cold, hungry, and confused, he had a stick under his tongue, and the only thing he could remember was someone's eyes, he didn't think he has ever been this confused before, well not that he could remember if he has or not
Silver sat there for a few more minuets before a thermometer made a small beep noise, Silver looked down quickly wondering what it meant while Bain just came over, drew it out of his mouth and stared at it curiously
"Hmm" Bain cocked in eyebrow 'It seems he has a slight fever' Bain turned around and looked at the patient on the table, he didn't actually look to good, he looked frozen and like he hasn't eaten for days
Silver's ear twitched and he got a little edgy since Bain was staring at him for so long; Bain looked back at the thermometer for a second then started towards the sick hedgehog
"Where have you been staying before you came here?" Bain asked inquisitively, Silver didn't say anything he was trying to think but couldn't remember
"I can't remember" Silver spoke for the first time since he was awake, Bain stared at him
"Ok then what is your name?" Silver stared at him again, he couldn't remember that either what was wrong with his memory?
"I-I don't know" Silver said innocently, Brian sighed and rubbed his temples
"Do you remember anything?" Bain asked actually hoping that the drug didn't cause too much damage
"I-I remember red eyes"
