The following morning, the house was shook awake by a loud noise.  Upon getting thier wits about them, Shadow and Rouge were quick to find the source of which was that Emmett apparently fiddled with the dials in the stereo system before switching it on. An eighties rock ballad blasted through the house at an ungodly volume.  "WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE A STEREO?" Shadow shouted over it, trying to find the power plug amongst all the wires to cut the source. "IT'S TWENTY-SEVENTEEN, INVEST IN A PORTABLE PLAYER AND SOME BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS!"  He yanked the plug from the outlet, and turned his attention to the other h

Rouge stared at the Emerald in her hands. The sun’s light hit it at just the right angle to cause a rainbow of indigo shades on her gloves. Such a beautiful gem, and for it and its brothers to have caused so much strife… it seemed truly a shame… Mephiles felt the ache in his head subside some, and was reminded painfully of his shoulder injury. Had he had teeth, he would have gritted them. He made a mental note that if he lived through this; he was going to alter his look a bit, as he had actually grown used to the concept of teeth, tongue and mouth when he had managed to possess Shadow, and wondered vaguely, as his stomach gav

Rae froze. She had been afraid of not getting to him before he drowned. But by the look of things… she had pulled him up too late. Shadow immediately grabbed Mephiles and pulled him out of the water, then laid him down. He was deathly still, his bluish fur had paled in a few shades, water draining from his quills, some standing in his mouth, a tell tale sign that he wouldn’t even be breathing if he was conscious. Rae pulled herself out of the water slowly, shaking the water from her fur as Shadow tried to revive him. Never having heard of CPR, except in theory, he tried to get the water out by tilting Mephiles’ head to the si

Mephiles decided: That’s it… I have to get out of here… But how do I tell that to Rae? She seemed so excited that I was going to work here… and I do kinda owe her… He looked up to see Rae happily shelving mangas, her tails waving as she made comments about each one like: “… When I get enough money… I am so buying you…” and “… Hmm… didn’t know volume seven was out already… darn, I’m behind…” Suddenly, she churred excitedly as she jumped of the ladder (at the third step!), and held up a particular manga in front of Mephiles’ face. “Do you know

Taking a deep breath, Mephiles paused. He had never thought about inducing a panic attack before. Under normal circumstances, the idea just seemed like madness. But this was not a normal circumstance… And as such, it was difficult to force himself to have one. He would have to be in such a frantic state of mind, that his brain would start playing tricks on him. He would need to be feeling such fear and anxiety that he would be afraid that he would go mad; that his mind might be losing control of his reality and sending him back to the nightmare he had experienced when he had finally cracked and ended up in a delusional state of mind&

A few days later, Dark had been released from the hospital with the only thing they wanted from him was to check in every weekend for the next month to monitor his adjustment to things as well as make sure his injuries had healed completely. He wasn't looking forward to it at all... When they got back home, he was surprised to find that Tape had grown to look like a miniature version of what an adult cat would look like, his fluff sleeking out and showing the the fur on his body was short hair, while the tail fur was long. The hair on his ears were long at the tips as well. Tape sat down in his way and looked up at him, sounding out the loude

It was the middle of the night many hours later, and Dark could not sleep, no matter how hard he tried. It was not because he was suffering yet another insomniatic episode, but merely because he observed that he couldn't help but feel so... Vulnerable. No matter how small of a ball he curled into, nor how deep he burrowed under the covers, he still felt rather nervous and uncomfortable. Sleeping with his back to the wall made him feel like he too exposed, and turning over to face the wall made him feel as though anything to easily creep up on him before he could he able to react fast enough. ... This is ridiculous... Nothing could get in h

Author's Note of warning: There's some material that I think might be a bit triggering, so as a heads up, there's some discussions of alternate timelines and "bad futures" Also, I will be moving soon and may be without much internet for a little while, so next update may be a bit delayed... ^^; Snapping out of it was easy for Mephiles, who had gone through this process with his abilities enough times to have it down to a science. He blinked and pulled his hands away from Dark, and immediately looked at Iblis, who was sitting in the large cushioned chair beside the bed, shakily holding between both hands what appeared to be a mug of some sort

CRACK! There was a dead silence. Mephiles' eyes were as wide a they could ever get, a blank expression carried in them as if his very essence that made him a living, breathing being had been ripped from him. Iblis held him up by the throat, laughing at Mephiles' pain as the injured hedgehog could do nothing to struggle. Mephiles arms hung limply at his sides as tears began to pool up in his empty eyes, overfilling and sliding down his face as he emotionless face began to twitch. "… So the great Mephiles the Hedgehog can't even do more than shed tears right now..?" Iblis cackled. "… I must say, I'm very much disappointed… my

... I'm so bored... Dark told himself, staring out the window idly. I've already solved the puzzle book Mephy got me twice over and I can't even talk to him, or he'll get airsick if he's awake...  Dark looked back at Mephiles, who was sleeping fitfully in the seat next to him, pale face having gained a sick tone from the movement of the aircraft. The shadow then looked back out the window, eyes flashing a bit from the small amount of light outside, allowing him to see fairly clear in the night. This sucks... I'm bored, it's cramped in here, and I have the distinct feeling it's only going to get worse from here... Dark leaned back in t
