Start A New Life

(Silver’s POV)
I never believed such a thing for cats to have nine lives. That was just made up or so I think. Or that black cats can bring bad luck to people. That can never happen because it never did. Not even mobian felines have that. Usually it’s always different between mobian felines and non-mobian felines. I’ll never know.
That all changed when something unbelievable happened that night when something or someone saved my life. I wasn’t sure who or what it was but it will be revealed when I tell you my story.
(End of Silver’s POV)

A silver-white hedgehog wearing goth-punk clothes and dark make-up was doing his sketching art as usual at home, trying to get over his past about his Ex-girlfriend breaking his heart. It happened a month ago and she was begging him to take her back but he refused and this got her very pissed that she bashed his artwork.
He looked at his watch and saw it was 09:00 a.m. He simply sighs a bit and puts his pencils aside and goes to his bed to have a moment to think for himself.
He sighs “It's hard to let go of the past. But I need to start a new life" he said to himself.
He gets up to go to art class with his two closest pals. He goes downstairs in the apartment and sees a red/black hedgehog with a blue one standing at the door near the entrance.
"Hi Silver, we got not much time to art-class" the blue one said.
“I know. I’m just trying to get over the break-up thing from Scoria” Silver sighs.
“Dude, I know it’s painful but you’ll find the right girl that isn’t Scoria” Sonic said.
“I don’t know, guys. It’s just I don’t know which girl will the right one for me” Silver said.
"You'll see when the time has come. I myself am in a good relationship with Ames and she is doing alright" Sonic said.
"Very well. I guess I’ll have to wait" Silver sighs.
"Look at the bright side now Silver, wipe off that frown please" Shadow said to him.
“Maybe you can attract girls with the leather biker outfit Shadow gave you last week” Sonic said.
“Nuh uh. I would do no such thing. I like the leather outfit but I’m not wearing it in public. No offense though” Silver said.
"Have it your way" Sonic shrugs. They walked their way to the art class school down the street. But Silver on the inside still felt depressed.

Once they went inside, Shadow sees his girlfriend that works here is happy to see her.
“Good morning, boys” the blue-violet hedgehog said.
"Good morning Nebula" they all said in unison.
"How's your night?" she asked them,
"Good, Ames did the good pancakes again" Sonic said.
"A little great I guess" Silver muttered.
Nebula knows what he’s talking about and she sure does feel a little sorry for him, “Hey, I know it’s painful but sooner or later you’ll find the right girl. Don’t beat yourself up, Silver”
"Very well" Silver said and joined the others in class. He picked up his painting and began his work on it. He was painting a white cat on a grass hill.
"It's beautiful isn't it, Silvy?" Shadow asked Silver.
"Yeah, I like cats" Silver said and keeps painting. Shadow shook his head and goes back to his painting, that of a blue dressed blonde human female. Sonic was just doing a painting of his girlfriend Amy.
"She's beautiful as in real-life" he sighs in love.
“Still in a lovey dovey trance again, Sonic?” Silver smirked.
"Well I used to be a bit shy when I first met her. But I learned to love her" Sonic said, snapping out of the trance.
"Whatever" Silver shrugs and goes back to painting.
“Damn, Silver. Slow down with painting” Shadow chuckled, “You sure are a fast artist sometimes”
"I know" Silver said.

Later after art class, Silver was walking by himself to the café to have a cup of coffee for himself.
"Can I get you something?" the waiter asked.
"A decaf coffee please" Silver said.
"Alright then. On the way" the waiter goes to make his coffee.
While Silver waits, he sees a white non-mobian cat glancing at him from outside the café window. He thought that the cat looked familiar to the one he's painting right now. But these thoughts were interrupted when he got his coffee.
“Thanks” he said and looks back at the window but the cat was gone.
"Maybe I should look after it later" Silver said. He takes a sip from his coffee while glancing at the window.

Later he goes out from the café to see if the cat is still there.
“Weird. Where did it go?” Silver said.
He looked down the alley to see if there’s any cat there.
"Where are you little kitty? I don't wanna hurt you" Silver tried to call for it. Then the cat appeared from the dumpster and it glanced at Silver with blue eyes. It jumped out of the dumpster and ran to the other direction.
"Hey you!" a deadly voice was heard behind Silver.
"Huh?" Silver turned to see a street gang with crowbars in hands.
"Hand over your wallet!" one of the thugs shouted. Silver then ran away from then while they followed him in hot pursuit. Silver knocked down some barrels while running but the street gang ran over them and still chased him. The chase continued until they came to the junkyard where Silver climbed over the fence to find a hiding place.
"He went over there!" One of the thugs pointed and they jump over the fence to go after Silver. The hedgehog boy hides inside an old wardrobe and stays quiet.
“Damn it! We lost him!” the thugs said.
They all walk away when Silver got his chance to get out from the wardrobe, he sneaks quietly so the thugs won't see him.
"Phew, that was close" Silver pants out. Suddenly he accidently steps on a clock, catching the thugs’ attention.
"Oh shit!" Silver gasped and ran away from them when they saw him. He jumped over some piles of garbage and then run up on a treadmill that goes to a dumpster full of mattresses.
"This time he won't get away!" the thugs shouted.
