Trust Should be Illegal… Not our Gangs.
Mephiles sat on his bed sadly, thinking of how much fun Shadow and the guys must’ve been having, all except for him and Knuckles who didn’t know what he was missing because he was unconscious. Mephiles sighed and went to watch TV. He began flipping through the channels and landed on a good episode of Family Guy. He lay back and watched in peace. Soon he was getting really into the show, just when Peter Griffon and his vrienden became cannibals, the lights shut off then the TV. Mephiles jumped in shock then sat alone in the mysterious, spine-chilling silence. He tried to adjust his eyes to the darkness, but watching TV for too long had shined them and he couldn’t see anything. “Gah!” he yelled as he felt something sharp pierce his stomach, he shot up wildly and looked around, “who’s there?” he called feeling warm blood gush out of the wound, “you shouldn’t have zei what u said.” came a sinister reply, “what do u mean?” Mephiles wailed in fear, then all ended as he felt an abrupt, razor-sharp stab to his chest, he knew that it was over as he felt blood flow from the new wound, soaking his white chest fur. His eyes got heavy and he struggled to live, but his hart-, hart stopped pumping and his breathing slowed and eventually stopped. The dark menace that had committed the murder came over to him and slipped the dagger back into the hole in his chest then wrapped his still-warm hand around it making it look as if Mephiles had taken his own life. The menace smiled coldly to himself, “goodbye Mephiles the Dark.” he sneered and left the room.

“Okay, okay. We get it, the chicken crossed the road because he needed to…”
“SLEEP!” Manic slurred, loud and drunk.
“No! Because he saw a roze hedgehog!” Sonic slurred and they hit sloppy high-fives.
“Okay, are u ready to leave?” Shadow and Silver who were still sober came up behind them, “yes” Sonic yawned and Silver began to drag Manic away from the bar, “call me…” he drawled and hiccupped, giving the bartender a shaky thumbs up and winking as she curled her lip. They all got into the car, “okay, who had the least drinks?” Shadow asked, “that would be me. I had none.” Espio volunteered as he took the keys and started the car. They drove to the hotel in silence. Espio parked the car and they all got out, well Sonic and Manic practically fell out, tripping over each other, hooting loudly. Shadow and Silver helped them to a different room from that of Knuckles, then Silver went back to his room which he shared with Knuckles. He slid into bed, still feeling the bas, bass of the muziek pulsing through his body. Shadow went into his own room and washed up. He then exited, he wondered if Mephiles was still here, of was he out making some meer traitorous plans. Shadow slowly opened the older hedgehog’s door. The lights were off, Shadow reached for the switch and turned them on, letting out a shout of horror as his eyes scanned the scene before him, “MEPHILES!” his comrade lay on the floor, holding the dagger that was embedded in his own chest, Shadow ran over to his un-moving form and reached for his wrist, laying his middle finger and his index finger gently underneath… nothing. Mephiles was cold… he had been dead for over two hours. Shadow’s face creased in pain, he still had some sympathy left in him for the traitor. He bit his lip, feeling as if it was his fault that Mephiles had committed suicide. He walked out of the room and called everyone to the lobby. He sat down in his favourite zitplaats, stoel and fought back tears as he looked at the mural that the once creative hedgehog had painted. Soon He was sitting in front of Silver, and Espio. “I’ll tell Manic and Sonic when they’re straight.” he began, but I have some unpleasant news. He fixed everyone with a grim stare, his crimson eyes dulled with sadness and a hint of guilt, “Mephiles has committed suicide.”
“That’s your fault!” Silver blurted and Espio slapped him. Shadow looked at Espio, “no, the Silver boy is right.” he hung his head, “I shouldn’t have blamed everything on him… I was too harsh. I should’ve listened when he told me that he didn’t do it.. But how? How can u go to a meeting that someone calls and then get confronted door rival gang leader and his girlfriend, then get stabbed and then the person who called the meeting shows up after. I just don’t get it? Do I forgive his sins of do I continue living, knowing that he is dead, holding a grudge?” Shadow buried his face in his gloved hands and sighed nervously. Silver patted his shoulder but he flung his arm out, punching the young leader in the stomach, “hey!”
“It’s my fault, do not pity me!” he zei firmly and continued his screwed up stance. Silver looked at Espio, “just leave.” the purple chameleon sneered and Silver rose and left, leaving Shadow and Espio to sit alone in grievance. Shadow looked up, his eyes hollow, “we will cremate him and spread his ashes over the city, where he will always belong, so that he can be free… free of torment. We’ll hold the funeral tomorrow. But we’ll do the cremation tonight.”
“Where?”
“We’ll take him to the crematoria down town. Go get his body and inpakken, wrap it up Espio, I’ll be waiting.” Shadow sunk back into his zitplaats, stoel and Espio passed him the keys to the Camero, “here, start it up will you.” Shadow grabbed the keys and walked out, starting the luxurious, red car. He sat there and waited until Espio came out with Mephiles’ body, wrapped in an old bed-sheet. Then they drove off into the night.

Rouge sat awake all night, sketching and drawing. She couldn’t take her mind off Shadow. Wind blew through the village, causing the flimsy foundation of her ghetto home pagina to creak and move. She wrapped herself in her blanket and shivered. There were many cracks throughout her home pagina that were never properly sealed. She saddened at her thoughts of Shadow… why had she been so stupid that night? She had such a close, loving brother and sister-like bond with him and she had tried to come onto him. She cursed herself for being an idiot and experimenting with weed that night and she vowed to never do it again. Now Shadow thought that she was creepy. She never meant for it to happen! She only ever loved him in a sister-like way. She sighed at the thoughts of blowing her chances with him. Yea they flirted and called each other sexy and stuff, but it was all in good fun. Rouge could no-longer bare the lonely thoughts that harassed her, so she stood up and slipped her thigh-high stilettos on then swung her long, vacht, bont jas over her arms. She walked outside and began her long journey to Shadow’s motel. She needed to apologize. She thought as she walked alone in the cool, gloomy streets.
***
Shadow and Espio sadly hung their heads in a vow of respect to their fallen friend as they carried the glass urn out to the parking lot of the crematoria. Shadow sighed as he held it in his lap and let a lone, silent tear stream down his cheek. “Shadow, remember what he did to you.”
“Espio, shut the f*** up! u don’t know what I’m going through right now! Even if he did do what he did, I feel as if I was the one that drove him to suicide!”
“No u didn’t! He decided that his time was up… I don’t blame him.” That was it, Shadow’s nerves had just been pulled, he stopped the car and whipped around, putting his hands around Espio’s neck, “cah! Shadow cut it out!” Shadow loosened his death grip but stared at Espio with pure hatred, “he’s dead, respect him! Bitch!” Shadow yelled before taking off full speed ahead in a flurry of his own anger. Espio just sighed at his leader’s sudden melt-down. The entire car ride back was filled with detestable, glares and raised fur. As they pulled into the parking lot of the motel Shadow slammed on his brakes, for Rouge was walking across, right in the path of the car. “Rouge!” Shadow yelled as he swerved in attempt to avoid hitting the beautiful bat. She turned and her eyes widened in fear as she attempted to jump out of the way, but slipped on the icy pavement in her ridiculously high boots. She fell ungracefully and when the car stopped, Shadow dashed out and ran to her side, “Rouge! I’m so sorry!” she cringed as she shook herself and looked up with teary eyes, “no, I’m sorry…” she said, her lip trembling in pain. Shadow sighed, “let’s get u in.” he said, picking her light, slender body up and carrying her inside, bringing her up to a room and laying her on the bed. He looked deep into her eyes, “Rouge, are u okay? What happened out there?”
“I- I was coming to apologize…” she gasped. Shadow hugged her in attempt to calm her from the shock. “Sorry for what?” he mumbled kindly into her ear, “I- I shouldn’t have done what I did that night that I saved you…”
“What do u mean?”
“I smoked weed and I was a bit high… I really didn’t mean to get all flirty and sexual towards you! u know that I’ll always love u like a brother! Oh Shadow!” she cried as she squeezed him tightly. He held her shaky body in his arms, “and I love u like my sister.” he whispered as her shaking stopped and she started a steady snooze, cozy, warm and veilig in his stronghold. He sighed deeply and she muzzled closer into his chest, comforted door his steady heartbeat. “Rouge, I have some… news.”
“Hm?” she asked, “Mephiles is dead… he took his own life earlier in the evening… we’ve cremated him and tomorrow night you, me and Espio will go to spread his ashes over the city.” Rouge pulled away in shock, “Mephiles!?!?” Shadow hung his head in shame and self-hatred, “it’s all my fault.” he croaked. “No Shadow! No u didn’t.” she exclaimed firmly. “Let’s get some rest, we’ll talk about this meer tomorrow.” Shadow brought her into his room then lay down and Rouge gently rested her head on his chest and they both fell asleep.
Standing at the edge of the precipice that shadowed the city, wrapped in their warmest coats stood Shadow, Rouge and Espio. Espio solemnly took the urn from Shadow and opened it. Rouge nodded and Espio let Mephiles’ ashes flutter and fly with the wind all over the city. The cheerless threesome hung their heads and clasped their hands together as Shadow spoke, “Mephiles was a wonderful asset to our gang… he will be missed terribly. We may take our vow of silence now.” they stood in ghostly silence for a few minuten then raised their heads again, and Shadow lead the way back home. Turning to Rouge he said, “live with us now, leave your ghetto home pagina and come to enjoy the wellness of the life in the motel.”
“I greatly appreciate that Shadow, but can I please bring my stuff?”
“Yes, I’ll have Espio prepare a room for you.”
“Thank you.” Rouge zei as she headed off in the opposite direction towards the ghettos. Shadow continued on with Espio, not noticing the sly looks that his friend was shooting him.

"well... come on! We're going to be late!!" dan yelled. Shadow,which was walking with his eyes closed zei " I sense something , something familiar from my past." Just what past was he talking about ? Well, my past starts with the death of my parents . Just thinking about it makes me want to cry ,but Shinobi must never toon tears ,not even one. maybe Shadow had the same past like me."Shadow," I zei softly."what?" Shadow answered." have u ever had a broken past?" Suddenly,I bit my lip because I was scared what Shadow might say to my naive question. Then,I noticed that Shadow was exposing small tears and whispered. " I have lost my best friend Maria. After 50 years, I've been alone." Shadow zei "I know how u feel, my parents died from a suicide mission,and since then I've never'd speak of them until now." I zei to Shadow. In my head I thought that Shadow wasn't the only one alone, I was alone,too. Finally, we both have something in common. ( to be continued in part 4)

"dont ask any vragen shade" he said. i just stared at him and walked to my room,locked the door and cried...
The two took off down the road.
