Shadow's Point Of View

Mephiles and I were asleep until we heard a crash downstairs. The impact of the crash made me jump awake and Mephiles didn't even flinch, as he kissed me on the forehead in a comforting gesture.

"Stay here, I'll be back in a few."

I nodded, "please be careful Meph..."

"I will" and he left the room and went downstairs as I sat up in the bed pulling the covers up so they wouldn't fall.

"So nice to see you again Shadow..." A voice said. I froze at the sound of it as it came from the shadows of my room. Then a dark blue figure stepped out of the shadows. It was Sonic, only he was different; instead of his royal blue fur it was tainted darker, till it was almost the color black. His eyes seemed to glow with darkness and he had black mist swirling all around him, making the room seem cold and dark.

I backed away on the bed using my hands as he walked forwards toward me. "St-stay away from me…"

"Now why would I want to do that? ~" My eyes widened as he was in front of me all of a sudden, holding me in place with his hands on both of my arms. My eyes widened, as he pushed me down onto the bed. I struggled as he tried to keep me there.

"It's rude to run away from your guests Shadow~" Then he jerked me from the bed and made me stand up in front of him.

"Shadow?!" Mephiles yelled from downstairs.

"You just can't be alone now a-days can you? No matter, this time I'm not leaving empty handed." He smirked at me and I felt my pulse get faster, as his grip on me got tighter.

"Mephiles!" I yelled, almost as soon as I did, I heard him run inside the room. As he entered my room Sonic turned me around so one of his arms was around my neck and the other was around my waist.

"So that's where I knew you from! I guess I'll just have to beat you again!" Mephiles got into a fighting stance with a frown, about to attack him, when Sonic stopped him.

"Ah, ah, ah~. We wouldn't want anything to happen to this little hedgie now would we? ~" Sonic smirked as Mephiles growled at him. I struggled harder under his grip, but stopped when I felt the hand he had around my waist, go under my sweatshirt straight to my chest fur and he kneaded it with his fingers. I blushed furiously, as my eyes widened and I gasped under the sudden contact. I flinched, when he pulled on it to hard and closed one of my eyes in pain. Out of the other I could see Mephiles' anger in his eyes as Sonic smirked mockingly at him.

"P-Please…make him stop…" I pleaded, as he tugged a bit harshly on my fur, making me become teary eyed.

"Let him go!"

"Nope" In a second, Sonic had me in his arms bridal style on the window sill of my room.

"I'd love to chat but I have some activities planned for me and him." He suddenly jumped out of the window and Mephiles followed right behind him outside. I could feel the cold night air brushing past me making me shiver as Sonic ran all the way to the back of the house. They stopped running once they were in the very edge of my yard that was surrounded by a white fence.

"Sorry, but I'm afraid we're going to have to part ways." I could feel Sonic's mist wrap around us.

"No!" I screamed as I held out my hand for Mephiles.

"Shadow!" He yelled and tried to run towards me. In seconds we were completely enveloped in darkness.

Shadow's POV

When the dark mist went away, I was alone, lying on a bed with red, see through silk surrounding every side of it with an opening at the foot of the bed. The room was decorated to have everything I needed or wanted. The room had a balcony with gold designs framed on its fence. I was awed, the room truly was beautiful but it was missing one thing. Mephiles.

I got out of the bed and walked to the balcony to look over the edge. Outside was nothing like this room. The ground was completely rotten and thousands of weeds were going up the side of whatever building I was in. The trees were bare of leaves and looked black from poison. The only living things that seemed to be down there were the bugs that no one wanted. It was probably poisoned.

Almost immediately after I looked outside, I ran for the door, knowing right away that wherever Sonic took me was not good.

"Where do you think you're going?" I recognized the voice as Sonic's right away and turned around to see him only a few steps behind me. When I tried to open the door he walked up and stopped it with his hand, blocking me from escaping him.

"Why are you doing this Sonic?" I yelled. He only smirked and laughed which made me frown.

"Because you belong to me, of course!" He then started leaning in close to my face. Not liking the idea, I pushed him away and opened the door, running into the dark hall. I ran through and past plenty of doors and I didn't stop until I reached a control room of some sort and immediately recognized it as one of Eggman's old bases.

"Where are you~" I heard him call. I darted around the room in search of a place to hide. Then I felt something tug at my arm from a corner. Having no other way to turn, I chose to follow whatever was tugging me. It pulled me down into a corner blocked by stacks of boxes. I held in my breath, as Sonic walked past me into another hall. I sighed; I don't know what he would have done to me, if he had caught me. Then I looked at the figure next to me, which had tugged me down in here. It was Tails. The kid fox was chained to the wall by his ankle and he was holding some sort of communicator device in his hands messing with it. He was so engrossed in it that he didn't notice me looking at him.

"Tails? What are you doing here?" I asked startling him a little as he put the object he had down. Then he looked extremely guiltily at me.

"I'm so sorry Shadow! Sonic made me help him capture you, so you'd be held captive in this base. I didn't want to help, but he said he'd kill me if-!" I put my hand over his mouth to make him quiet. I may be nicer, but it didn't mean I liked listening to people ramble all day.

"Shhhh, its fine Tails, really." I smiled. He seemed to feel a little bit better, but I could tell he still felt bad.

"You have to get me out of here before he finds me." The kid smiled and held the device he had in the air.

"I can tell Rouge to get some help for us. Is there anyone you know who might help?" I only hoped Rouge would know how to find him. His powers could come in handy, considering if he really loved me.

"Tell her to get Mephiles." The kit looked at me questioningly and then he looked horrified when he realized, exactly who I was talking about.
