==Chapter One: The Return==
A girl walked up to an abandoned house. It had the names "Samuel and Scarlett Fox Residence" on the worn, forgotten mailbox. The girl gave a sad smile, then walked past it.
She went into Cream's Book Store. Though she hardly had any money, the girl liked to look through the books during store hours while she could.
"Hi there!" an orange hedgehog girl walked up to her.
"Uh, hi." she said.
"I've seen you a lot in here. I'm Rose." the girl hedgehog said. "What's your name?"
"I'm Thorn." she replied.
"Nice to meet you. Want to hang out?" Rose asked.
"Not really..." Thorn replied.
"Puh-lease!" Rose begged. "Come on, I've got snacks!"
Thorn's stomach growled.
"I-I guess," she said.
"Yay!" Rose said, clapping.
Rose took Thorn to her pink buggy. She drove Thorn to a huge black mansion. There was a gate surrounding the mansion, and a garden around back. Rose took Thorn down into the storm cellar on the side of the mansion. Three teens were sitting on the floor eating pizzas and drinking soda.
"Hey, guys! This is my new friend Thorn." Rose said.
"Hi." a yellow female cat with black fur said. "I'm Honey."
"H-hi!" a brown boy squirrel said. "I'm Kyle. N-nice t-to meet you Thorn."
"I'm Midnight." a peach-orange echidna said.
"So, what are you all up to?" Thorn asked.
"Well, we were wondering if you wanted to have a movie marathon." Honey said. "Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?"
"Harry Potter," Thorn replied.
"Great. I'll turn it on." Midnight said.
As the movies extended late into the night, the five teens fell asleep.
"Ugh..." Kyle said, waking up.
"Uh, where's Midnight?" Honey asked.
"Yeah, and Thorn..." Rose said groggily.
Thorn walked into the cellar.
"She's gone. I looked everywhere."
"What do you mean she's gone?" Honey asked.
"Look, I don't know where she went. I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and saw her run off." Thorn told them.
"Come on. Let's go look for her." Honey said to Kyle. They walked past Thorn. Kyle looked at Thorn sadly.
"I'm sorry Rose. I don't know where she went." Thorn said.
"It's okay. Look, my friends don't exactly trust you. I have no idea why." Rose replied.
"Maybe she went into the attic!" Rose exclaimed.
"What?" Thorn asked.
"Well, she's always wondered what's in my family's attic. I've never told her. Maybe she snuck away and her curiosity got the best of her." Rose replied.
Rose took her into her family's mansion. Mounted on every hallway was a rifle, shotgun, or pistol.
"Uh..." Thorn said, motioning to the guns.
"My parents are G.U.N. agents." Rose explained.
"Ah...I...I don't like guns." Thorn said.
Rose took Thorn to the attic. It was full of old boxes, old photos, and old trophies. One box was disturbed.
"I knew it!" Rose yelled.
"Did she take anything?" Thorn asked.
"No..." Rose replied. "It's just an old uniform."
"Wait, there's a little hole in it." Thorn said.
"Where?"
"Right there." The hole was small, like a pin.
"Why would she steal one of my family's pins?" Rose asked.
"I don't know, she's your friend." Thorn replied.
"Come on. We have to tell Kyle and Honey." Rose said.
They found Kyle and Honey in the garden.
"Did you find her?" Kyle asked.
"No." Thorn said. "We...we found something else."
After they explained everything, Honey couldn't believe it.
"Midnight is one of the most trustworthy people I know!" Honey said. "You believe me, right Kyle?"
"Well...I-I h-haven't really known M-Midnight t-that long." Kyle replied.
"I should've known you'd take her side! You're supposed to be my best friend Kyle!" Honey yelled. She stormed off.
"What was that about?" Thorn asked.
"Nothing. Honey's just been going through a lot lately." Kyle said.
"Huh." Thorn said.
"Rose, what's wrong?" Kyle asked.
"I thought I was her best friend..." Rose said.
"Sorry..." Kyle said.
"That's okay. Come on, let's get back looking in the morning. Honey'll make it back home." Rose said.
"You sure?" Thorn asked.
"Yeah, she's tough." Rose replied.
The three teens went back into the storm cellar.
Honey walked back to her house. She lived down the street from Rose's, right next to Kyle's, and across the street from an abandoned house.
As soon as Honey walked in, she knew something was wrong. The plant pot was out of its place. It was never out of place because her mother never moved it. Never. Honey ran up the stairs. The door to her room was closed, but her parent's stood ajar. Her parents were working late at night, so they couldn't have been in there.
"Hello?" Honey asked. She went into the room, and found it completly ransacked. The bed sheets were thrown across the room, clothes were out of drawers, and a picture frame was on the floor.
The picture was of Honey as a child. It was her in a picture wearing her first red gloves. The frame had been torn open. A small hole, like a pins, was in the picture frame's soft material.
"Someone took a pin from Rose's house...and mine?"
She heard a crash from Kyle's house. Honey climbed out the window and stuck to a tree. She sat on a tree branch, staking out Kyle's house.
The noise had come from Kyle's basement. Honey went inside, since the door was already open.
In the basement were old boxes and furniture. One box toppled over. It was Kyle's old stuffed animals. One was torn open, all the stuffing taken out. A small pin sized hole was in the stuffed animal's foot.
Honey ran back to her house, and tried calling Midnight.
A figure in black robes walked up to the Altar on Angel Island. A black smoke appeared in front of her. It formed into a black hedgehog with blue stripes- Mephiles the Dark.
"Hello, my student. Have you found all the pieces?" Mephiles asked.
The figure nodded. She handed Mephiles three pins. They all had a black and pink design on them. The pins all formed together into one medallion. Mephiles started laughing.
The figure in black said an incantation.
"Revertetur et evigilare solani! Revertetur et evigilare solani! REVERTETUR ET EVIGILARE SOLANI!"
Lightning flashed around the island. The Master Emerald turned black, and a woman was thrown out of it. She was in a cocoon of black energy. The energy faded, and the woman opened her eyes. She was a fox.
"Hello there." she said. "Thank you for awakening me. I am Nightshade, the Sorceress."
The figure in black bowed. Mephiles smirked at Nightshade, and she smirked back.
"Who are you, my Waker?" Nightshade asked.
"I am the Echidna known as Nocte, my lady." the figure said.
Mephiles looked at the girl.
"She is otherwise known as...Midnight."
