"Who is it?" Shadow asked.
"Do you know anyone by the name of…Silver the Hedgehog?"
Shadow sighed. "Unfortunately, yes."
"Just keep an eye on him. He hasn't killed anyone yet, and we want to keep it that way."
"Okay, anything else?"
"Anything on your end?"
Shadow sat down in his chair. "I suspect that world famous hero Sonic the Hedgehog is a Lycanthrope as well."
"Oh really?"
"Yes." He replied. "He came over to the house just before you called. He snarled at me and his eyes flashed yellow, and he had that scent."
"Hmm...Okay…It would be a huge public upset if anything happened to him."
Shadow nodded. "But he's not exempt from the hit list."
"Yes. I have to go."
"Okay, bye then."
"Bye."
The phone clicked off and Shadow put it down on his desk. Another one to the list. He untacked a piece of paper from a cork board and added Silver's name to it of the people he needed to keep an eye on. He put his pen down and sighed. Where were all these werewolves coming from? He'd had been busy for a while and it was annoying the Hell out of Rouge that he'd always have to bail out on their time together. Sometimes it worried him that she would just break up with him. He got up, turned off the lamp and went out of the room.
This time Rouge was standing right outside the door and he almost bumped into her.
"Whoah! Rouge!" He exclaimed.
"I'd like you to tell me what it is that you do every month, and tell me what is going on." Rouge asked, annoyed.
"I, uh. Not right now."
Rouge folded her arms. "I thought we could tell each other things. Don't leave me in the dark Shadow."
After he and Tails got home, Sonic sat in embarrassment. Tails could be such a jerk sometimes.
"Sonic, don't take what I said seriously. It was a joke." Tails told him as he worked on a new machine.
"It wasn't a funny one…" Sonic mumbled.
"Sonic, I know you like Amy, admit it, it's obvious."
"Yeah but, saying it will make me look like a fool for always running away from her." The blue hedgehog replied, crossing his legs and looking down.
Tails shook his head. "Sonic, you already make yourself look like a fool on your own."
Sonic glared at him. "Do you want me to bite you and turn you into a beast too?"
Tails stepped back. "Okay, I'll stop talking." He went back to his machine.
The rest of the night Sonic lay and think about how all this would unfold, he didn't go to sleep until morning.
With Amy, she had just woken up as the sun was rising. She looked at her alarm clock.
"6:00." She yawned, put on her slippers and got up out of her bed. The pink hedgehog walked to the bathroom and began brushing her teeth, but what she saw when she opened her mouth startled her.
"What the-?" Amy threw down her toothbrush and slowly brought her hand to her mouth.
"Fangs?!" The pink hedgehog touched the point of her newly enlarged canines. "And-?" She looked behind her at her tail. It had changed into a more wolf like tail. "My tail!" She ran out of the bathroom and got her phone. Surely Sonic would know what was going on.
Sonic's phone rang beside him on his bed. He slowly opened his eyes and yawned. The light coming from his phone practically blinded him when he picked it up but he answered it anyway.
"Hello?" He asked while rubbing his eyes.
"SONIC! I NEED YOUR HELP!" Amy screamed from the other end of the line.
Sonic held the phone away from his ear. "Amy what's wrong?!" He asked, concerned.
"I woke up this morning and I have fangs and a wolf tail!"
"What?"
"I thought I was only supposed to change under the full moon! What the Hell is going on?!"
"I don't know! Let me come over and see!"
"Hurry!"
Sonic rushed over to Amy's apartment in a flash. When he got there Amy was sitting on the floor halfway curled up. He walked over to her and got down to her eye level.
"Let me see."
Amy looked at him but didn't do anything so Sonic picked her up, put her on the couch and sat down next to her.
"Com'on Amy, let me see."
Amy looked at him, sighed and moved so that he could see her tail, then she opened her mouth to show him her fangs.
"Whoa." Sonic said in awe.
"I know, what's happening to me?" The pink hedgehog asked, tears forming in her eyes. "What did you do to me?!"
Sonic started to hug her. "I told you already and I deeply regret what I did. I'll find out what's going on. I promise." Sonic looked around and tried to make part of the wolf come out so that he could be the same as her, but he couldn't.
"I'm sorry. I'll stay with you as long as you need me to be here. I'll help you." Sonic told her and wiped her eyes.
Amy looked up at him and cried into his chest.
Shadow tried to get past his girlfriend but she always got in the way.
"Shadow. Tell me." Rouge demanded.
"Rouge, I can't. Everyone has secrets and this one is mine."
The white bat growled. "I deserve to know why you always bail out on me!"
"Rouge it's for your own safety!" Shadow shouted at her, mimicking the volume of her voice.
Rouge gasped. "Are you doing something illegal?"
"No! At least I think it's not."
"What are you doing?!"
Shadow quickly ran in his room and locked the door behind him to where she couldn't get in. Rouge knocked loud on the door.
"Shadow, get out here!"
Shadow shook his head even though she couldn't see him. "I'm sorry!" He ripped a newspaper clipping off of the wall. "I have to go!"
