•Y/N: Your Name

Your POV:

"That's enough." I stare everyone down with an angry, almost scolding, glare. My legs are a little shaky, but I'm mad enough to stand protectively like this. Mephiles has done nothing wrong in this instance. He saved me, so why should he be punished like this? "Stop fighting all ready, I'm fine! I wanted Mephiles to come for me."

Everyone appears taken aback aside from Shadow, who's sitting angrily on the floor.

"B-but why? Y/N, I don't think you understand that-"

"I don't care." I cut off Silver's words almost instantly. They should know my reasoning.

"The only reason I asked for him to get me was because mister emo to the extremo over here was chasing after me and freaking me the fuck out," I explain while pointing a finger at Shadow, who now stood from his spot on the floor. The other two hold a hand over their mouth to stifle their laughter. They must've found the nickname I gave Shadow hilarious. The tan male growls, however, with clenched fists as he's quick to defend his actions.

"You don't seem to understand the problem here." He points an accusing finger at Mephiles. "Do you have any idea what that bastard has done?!"

"Well... No, but-"

"He's the bad guy here, Y/N, not us. I don't know what the hell he wants from you, but it's certainly not going to be good. He should've stayed dead!"

My heart pounds faster in my chest, and my trembling worsens. What am I supposed to do here? I'm faltering, and I know they see that.

"It's okay, Y/N, just come back home with us." Sonic holds out his hand towards me with a smile on his face. I shake my head in defiance. They might still hurt him if I leave. They're clearly not fond of Mephiles. Whatever he did must've been bad, but...

"No, I don't need saving this time." Mephiles laughs hysterically behind me, directing everyone's attention towards him.

"You see, I've done nothing wrong," he stands, wincing a bit while clutching his stomach, "so leave us," he demands in a low voice. Shadow's fury showed clearly in his ruby orbs. I'm not sure who it's directed towards, but it spells trouble nonetheless. I take a step back in fear and collide with Mephiles' chest.

"Whether you like it or not, we are getting her out of here!" Shadow reaches towards me only for Mephiles to shove me behind him to block the enraged male's path. Shadow's grabbing actions shift to a punch, but Mephiles dodges it with ease. I cling to his back and cower, for Shadow was only bringing back those horrid memories of Jeff. Mephiles looks down at me with a satisfied look in his eyes and a smirk on his face. He chuckles darkly, setting a hand on my head as he turns to the trio.

"Well, well, looks like she prefers to stay with me after all." An idea seems to spark in Shadow's crimson orbs, and a smirk appears on his own lips.
