He stood in the bathroom as blood pooled onto the floor as he stared at the man in front of him, there was no emotion in either of their eyes as they looked at one another, only an understanding

"Have you come to finally get rid of me?" Silver spoke as he looked at the darker male "After all that's what you do isn't it? Destroy people Mephilies?"

"Silver how long must you think that? I never wanted to hurt you and I'll never hurt you again, I promise" Mephilies sighed as he stepped towards the ghost, whose eyes light up with white light as the blood on the floor spread 

"I told you to stay away" Silver's voice quickly changed as he glared at the other, it was distorted and fuzzy as Mephilies jerked away in the slightest, as tears began falling from the ghosts eyes "Just stop hurting me please, move on! I'm dead and your the only reason i'm still here! And I don't know why it was you I fell in love with Mephilies, but that shot is long gone"

"It's not..." Mephilies spoke quietly "I can bring you back if you let me"

"And at what price are you willing to pay to let dead boys wake?" Silver stated "I won't let you harm anyone Mephilies, just for your obsession over a dead friend; we all have our time of life, you just have to accept I'm gone instead of chasing fantasies"

"But I'm doing this for you..."

"I never asked you to"

"You never had too"

"Mephilies I did this because of you"

"I...I know..."

"So stop this and let me move on"

"I can't"

"Then I guess we're both doomed"

Fleetway sat alone in the classroom, despite there being students in the class with their teacher, he was alone since Scourge hadn't come to school that day, he didn't know why and it worried him, it made him panic a little thinking that something horrible had happened and he didn't realise it, but the room was going cold, it wasn't until one of the students asked if they could turn the heater on that he realised what he had been doing and he calmed himself down and thought of things that didn't cause him distress

~~*~~

Scourge slept in his bed after his mother had cleaned up the floor and him, he felt awful, so he was told to sleep while his mother and father called a home doctor, Sonic only watched with a frown, he was scared, he didn't know if Scourge was alright, he was the only person who he could speak to and see him and not be afraid

so he sat there in the room quietly, protecting Scourge, in a way, he found it stupid, but he didn't want to lose the friend he had made after ten long years of being here, Sonic often thought of what it would be like to have grown up with his brother...often wondered if they'd still be living in this house, or in another one, he thought that if her were alive he might've been in school with Scourge, or maybe never have met him at all, he couldn't stop the glowing tears from falling from his eyes, he was scared of loosing the person who cared enough not to want to move away discovering that a ghost lived with them

Sonic looked to the door and saw it open, saw Jules walk in with a doctor trailing behind, but he saw Scourge's father pause and looking in his direction, but there was surprise in the older males eyes that he hid well as the doctor asked questions and checked the green hedgehog who slept, and soon left, Jules remained in the room and turned to him again, the was a small smile on his lips, but there was a haunting look in his eyes as he sat down beside him, Sonic felt himself flare up in surprise and fear, Scourge wasn't the only one who could see ghosts in this house and it became crystal clear as the man spoke to him

"So...You've hidden yourself well in this house haven't you Maurice?" The small smile turned sad as Sonic looked at him, no one knew his name, no one but his brother who was long gone and not coming back, so how did this man, Scourge's father know?
