A/N: In the last chapter, we saw how much of an emotional wreck Sherman is after Hayden died. He's been taking pills Mr. Peabody made to keep his werewolf form at bay, he's been seeing Hayden as an apparition, and now he knows that there's another person that Hayden bit and it's hunting him down for some reason. Enjoy!
The students were released for lunch and Sherman was sitting with his new friends, Mason and Carl.
"So, where did you say you moved here from?" asked Carl.
"Wolf Creek Colorado. It's a mountain town" said Sherman as he swallowed some of his tuna sandwich.
"Why did you move away?" asked Mason. Sherman took out the photo of Hayden and him out and stared at it. Sherman sighed and spoke.
"My best friend died in front of me. He was shot by a mugger when we were going to a 'Seven Eleven' for some bottled sodas" Sherman lied as he spoke and just looked into the photo. Sherman knew others would say that werewolves weren't real, so Peabody and Sherman agreed to tell others that Hayden got shot by a lone gunman instead.
"I'm sorry about your friend" said Mason.
Sherman handed Carl the photo and Mason went over to behind Carl to see the photo. The photo was taken at night time and Hayden were standing next to each other. Hayden was wearing a black and dark gray striped skin-tight sweater with a Mockingjay necklace on a chain hanging from his neck, and black skinny jeans. Sherman was wearing a black 'District 12' shirt with some light gray sweat pants. And they were standing in front of a movie theater entrance.
"Is that him?" asked Mason.
"Yeah, we went to see the second 'Hunger Games' movie together that night. Midnight showing. That really was one of my fondest memories I had of him and I together" said Sherman sadly.
"Do you miss him?" asked Carl. Sherman got a sad look and sighed.
"Every day of my life" he said. Carl handed Sherman the photo back and he put it in his pocket. Little did he know that the blonde girl who was spying on him at the beginning of school was spying on him again. The girl's name was Penny Peterson and she wasn't very fond of Sherman since he first arrived to the school.
"Check it, guys" she whispered to one of her friends. She then pranced over to Sherman on her tip toes and spoke.
"Hey, Sherman. What you got? Kibbles or bits?" she joked cruelly.
"No, just carrots, apple juice, and a tuna sandwich" said Sherman without looking to Penny and just ate another carrot.
"So you eat human food" she said.
"Why wouldn't I?" asked Sherman with a look that he didn't show her and look down at the food he was eating instead of his abuser.
"Because you're a dog" said Penny. Sherman began clawing at the table and his nails became sharp and made scratch marks into the wooden table. His werewolf traits that he had gained from Hayden's bite were kicking in again.
"No I'm not" he growled silently. Penny could still hear him though.
"Yes you are" Penny said. Carl then spoke up.
"Actually, it's an adopted relationship" he said. Penny shot Carl a death glare.
"Shut up, Carl" said Penny. Carl just turned away from Penny and looked down to his food.
"Fetch!" Penny said knocking the sandwich out of Sherman's hand and onto the floor. Other students started laughing.
"Oh, the humiliation" Mason piped in. Penny continued taunting Sherman.
"Sherman, go get your food. Make like a good little doggy. Arf Arf!" Penny taunted. Sherman began growling and his eyes began glowing yellow. Sherman pounced on Penny and pinned her to the floor. The other students who were laughing now gasped at what they just saw.
"Would you like me to throw YOU at the floor and tell someone to fetch YOU?" asked Sherman with anger in his voice. Penny gulped with fright and she was shaking a little bit. She didn't respond to Sherman's question and watched as Sherman got off her.
"That's what I thought" he snarled silently to the blonde. Sherman began walking away to pick his sandwich up and saw that the other students were still in shock at what he just did. Penny then got up and saw the folded photo in Sherman's back pocket. She swiped it out of his pocket.
"Hey!" Sherman said as he noticed the photo being taken out his pocket. He kept trying to grab it, but Penny raised it higher for Sherman to try to catch.
"Give it back!" Sherman demanded.
"Admit that you're a dog and I will" said Penny.
"I'm not a dog" Sherman growled.
"Yeah you are" Penny said. Sherman then growled and showed his now sharpened teeth. He then pinned Penny against the wall and other students began gathering around them.
"Sherman! Sherman! Sherman! Sherman! Sherman!" they cheered on for him. Sherman then snatched the photo away from Penny and began yelling at her.
"You do not ever touch this! This is all I have of my friend! You could have ruined it! Would you like it if I went and stole your precious property!?" Sherman demanded. He dug his nails into Penny's arm and opened up some cuts. The girl whimpered as blood drew from where Sherman's nails pierced her soft and fragile skin.
"WOULD YOU!?" Sherman shouted. Penny just shut her eyes tightly and shook her head, letting tears leak from her pale blue eyes. Sherman then tossed Penny aside to another table where she landed on her back upon the surface and looked to Sherman in horror with misty eyes.
"Now leave me alone" Sherman snarled at the blonde girl. He then ran away, leaving for the boy's bathroom. Little did Sherman know that a tall brunette slender woman with pixie cut hair saw the whole thing. And so did a large woman with black hair. They both walked off to find him.
Sherman was now in the boy's room and locked the door. Sherman took the bottle of pills out his pocket and took one. He took a sip from the water that came from the sink faucet to wash the pill down. There was a loud banging at the door, but Sherman ignored it. He then saw Hayden's apparition in the mirror behind him and he was standing two inches behind him and he was staring dead-straight into the mirror.
"Hayden, it's starting again" Sherman said trembling as his teeth, eyes, and nails went back to normal. Hayden looked down to him. The banging continued, but Sherman continued to ignore it.
"So it is" Hayden whispered loudly. The door banging continued and this time there was a loud voice shouting.
"Boy, you open this door right now!" shouted the woman. By the time Sherman looked to the door, Hayden had disappeared and Sherman sighed in annoyance. He unlocked the door to see the bigger dark haired woman who was known as Ms. Grunion standing over him.
"What do you want?" Sherman asked. She then grabbed Sherman's arm tightly.
"You're going to the office, young man" she said dragging him to the office by force.
A/N: God I hate Ms. Grunion. But little does she know of Sherman's Lycanthropy and he almost phased in front of his entire class. Sorry about the OOC Sherman, but this is what you get when your best friend became a werewolf and you had to kill him even though you didn't want to and having to deal with the fact that you're a werewolf now because they bit you. More to come in the next update. Please review, thanks!
