Chapter 4: Tails' Theory
A few days later, Sonic's anger increased. He yelled at everyone, and was angry all the time. He wasn't sure why but Tails thought he was just going through a tough time in his life. He thought back to what Tails had said a few days ago, that he was changing in some way. Sonic sighed; perhaps he was in some way. He had noticed that he felt stronger since the night he was attacked. Also, his appetite had increased and for some reason he had a strange craving for meat.
Tails was right, I have been changing lately. Sonic thought. Everything about me, my personality, appetite...
Sonic sighed and went upstairs, looking for Chris. As soon as he opened the door to Chris's room, Chris came running around the corner and slammed into Sonic, sending both of them tumbling to the ground.
"Chris! What on Earth was that all about?"
Chris panted heavily as he stood up. "Sorry about that; I just left something downstairs. I'll be right back."
Sonic stared at Chris as he ran off. He shook his head and headed for his room. When he touched the doorknob, he yelled as a sharp pain went through his hand, burning. He instantly pulled his hand away from the doorknob and looked at his hand. It was burned; smoke was coming from the palm. Sonic watched as it healed instantly, and pushed open the door.
All of a sudden, his ears started ringing. He plugged his ears but the ringing continued. A few seconds later, it stopped. Sonic then heard voices from the city, voices that belonged to people. He frowned in confusion; he could never hear this good before. His sense of smell increased as well.
"Hey Tails, come here!" he yelled.
Footsteps approached the door as Tails ran into the room.
"What is it, Sonic?"
"I...you're right, I am changing."
"How so?"
"Well, I just noticed my hearing and sense of smell just increased. Also, when I touched the doorknob, my hand burnt."
Tails frowned in confusion. "That doorknob is made of silver...and you say your hearing and smell has increased? I wonder..."
Sonic's brow furrowed. "What is it?"
"I read on the Internet somewhere about these symptoms. They all add up. Increased hearing, appetite and smell, burnt when touching silver, anger issues..."
"What's your point?"
Tails sighed. "You recently got these symptoms after you were bitten by that wolf, right?"
Sonic nodded. "Yeah, I did. I thought was just stressed."
Tails shook his head. "I think you're becoming a werewolf."
