Sonic cowered in fear of the silver cross in his ball form. Silver looked at the pathetic state of the hedgehog and shook his head. He picked him up with his powers and proceeded to rock the hedgehog in an effort to calm him down. Amy still held her cross in front of herself.

"Silver, where are we going to get a cage?" She asked.

"I bet that we can find one someplace." Silver replied. "We just need one big enough to contain him for when he goes crazy like this, to keep him from trying to eat anyone."

Amy nodded. Sonic had calmed down and was now sleeping while suspended in the air by Silver. The psychic hedgehog set him down on the couch and released Sonic from his power. Silver sighed. "I hate being a werewolf, and I'm sure you hate it too."

"I'm just scared more than anything, no hatred at all. I don't want to be a monster." Amy replied sadly. "There's no telling what we could do that could hurt innocent people."

"That's why we need to watch over each other."

After a few hours, Sonic woke up on the couch, having no idea where he was. The hedgehog looked around and realized that he was home, so that meant Tails was around somewhere. He got up off of the couch to go find the fox.

"Tails? Tails where are you?" He called and looked around the house. He looked in the room, the bathroom, everywhere before plopping back on the couch.

"He must have gone out." Sonic rubbed his temples. "Oh my God my head hurts!" He exclaimed and fell to the side onto the cushions. Where was this headache coming from? He lay there in pain trying to push through it before even thinking about whether Tails had any pain medication that he could take. When he couldn't take it anymore Sonic went hunting for some pain pills to ease his headache. He went into the kitchen to the medicine cabinet where he found a note from Tails. It read:

"Sonic, I went out to the grocery store to get more food, I'll be back later. Silver and Amy will be there to look after you, so make sure they know where you are."

-Tails

Sonic cocked his head." Okay, so he went to the store. Why would he need Silver and Amy to watch me?" He thought to himself. He put the note aside and got some medication from out of the medicine cabinet and took it with a glass of water. After that he walked back into the TV room. Amy and Silver didn't seem to be anywhere. Where were they? He walked around the house to double check everywhere for them.

"Maybe they're outside…" Sonic said to himself. He waked to the front door and turned the brass handle.

"Peek-a-boo!" Amy jumped out from the bushes, making the blue hedgehog jump in surprise.

"Amy! You scared me!" He told her.

Amy swayed back and forth with her hands behind her back. "I was wondering when you were going to wake up! You slept for a long time."

Sonic yawned. "Yeah, but I'm confused. Why did Tails tell you and Silver to watch over me?"

Amy's smile faded from her face and she pushed him inside the house and closed the door. "Well, the reason is not a pretty one. You may want to sit down for this."

Sonic nodded and sat back down on the couch while Amy sat beside him. "What happened?" He asked.

The pink hedgehog took his hands in hers and looked at him with a hurt expression. "Sonic…Earlier you tried to eat Tails."

Sonic's gasped and his eyes went wide. "I did what?"

"You tried to EAT Tails, Sonic." Amy repeated.

Sonic cupped his hands over his mouth and tried not to puke.

"I know, it's a disgusting thing to think about." She gave him a serious look. "That's why Tails wanted us to look after you, so you wouldn't go outside and try to attack anyone else."

Sonic breathed in and out, trying to let his stomach settle. "W-where's Silver then? Isn't he supposed to be with you?"

Amy nodded. "He is but he went to go find a cage."

"A cage?"

"Yep, one to keep you in, in case this happens again."

"Oh…" Sonic's ears drooped. "Amy, I'm so sorry…and my head hurts like Hell."

Amy put her arm around him. "I know you're sorry, but we have to take precautions now."

A tear started to roll down Sonic's face and Amy wiped it. She wrapped her other arm around him and started to hug her mate to make him feel better. Sonic sniffed and started to howl a long howl that rattled the house.

"AWOOOOOooooOOOOO!"

Amy pulled him closer and gave him a peck on the cheek before joining in with his howl.

"AwoooooOOOOOOOOooooooOOO!"

The two wolves sang their hearts out in long howls that they were sure the neighbors could hear, but forgot that they weren't supposed to let them hear.

When the duet of howls ceased Sonic and Amy sat on the couch together in silence. Amy could feel Sonic's warm heart beating against his chest. The pink hedgehog started to wag her tail. Sonic also started to wag his small hedgehog tail in response to her tail wagging.

About an hour later when the sun was setting Silver came back with a trailer with something covered with a big sheet.

"What is that?" Sonic asked outside where they were standing in Tails' yard.

Silver flew up and grabbed the sheet. "I'm glad you asked, because this is the cage that we're going to put you in if you ever do anything like what you did to Tails earlier again." He pulled off the sheet to reveal a large iron cage.

Amy, who was holding Sonic's hand, tightened her grip on it.

"Where did you get it?" Sonic asked.

Silver covered the cage again and flew down to the ground. "I got it from a traveling carnival, they said they didn't need it anymore and that I could have it."

Sonic nodded. "That's…Nice…"

"Silver, are you sure that that cage will hold him?" Amy asked. "I think werewolves have immense strength too."

Silver started laughing. "Of course, Sonic's a noodle, he won't be able to break this cage."

"Hey I am not a noodle!" Sonic protested.

"Sure you're not."

"Shut up!"

"Hey guys, what are you doing out here?" Tails flew down out of the sky with some grocery bags in his hands. When he saw Sonic he backed away. "H-hey S-sonic." He stammered.

"Tails! I'm okay now! Really!" He tried to hug the fox but Tails ran behind Silver.

"Don't come any closer!" He shouted.

Sonic slumped his shoulders, Tails was scared of him now, but it wasn't surprising, considering what he had done to him. "Okay, I'll stay away if that's what makes you feel safe…"

Tails nodded and continued to hide behind the white hedgehog, watching the blue one carefully.

"Okay guys, if this makes you feel safe. I will comply." Sonic put his hand over his heart.

"There's no telling what you'll do if you get like that again. Com'on it's getting dark out. Everyone needs to go home." Silver started to fly up towards his house.

"Bye Silver!" Amy waved goodbye to him, still by Sonic's side. Tails went inside the house to put his groceries away and Sonic watched the sky get darker as the sun set.

"Hey, Tails won't mind if I sleep over here, right?" Amy asked him. "It's too dark for me to go into the city alone."

Sonic looked at her and nodded. "Yeah, I think so, let's go inside." Sonic and Amy both went inside Tails' house to ask him if the pink werewolf could stay the night.

"Hey Tails, can Amy stay the night tonight?" Sonic asked when he walked into the kitchen where Tails was.

The fox closed the fridge slowly. "Uhhh…"

"Com'on Tails I promise we'll behave."

Tails turned around to face him, his facial expression made his answer obvious, but his answer was the opposite. "Y-yeah. She can stay the night if she wants to…"

Amy frowned. "Tails, is everything okay? You look like you're feeling sick."

Tails shook his head. "No, I feel fine." He lied. "I'm just gonna go to bed now…" The fox scurried out of the kitchen to his bedroom and slammed the door shut behind him. Sonic and Amy just stared.

"I think we might need to take him to a doctor soon…"

"Okay, we have everything set up now." Shadow told Rouge out in a forest-like area with a field on the end of it. They had set up targets on tree trunks, and posts and had put tracking devices on some wild rabbits.

"So what are you trying to teach me?" Rouge asked as she put down a bow.

"I'm going to teach you archery and how to track things moving through the woods. I've seen it before, werewolves love to try and escape into the woods to get away from me, but with your help that won't be a problem for much longer." Shadow explained.

"And the bow and arrows?"

"Just another weapon, use them with silver tipped arrows." He answered.

"But why can't I just use guns? I'm already trained with those."

"I don't trust you with my guns."

Rouge put her hands on her hips. "Why not?!"

"Because, these are special and I don't let anyone but myself use them."

She gave him a look and rolled her eyes. "Okay!"

"Okay, let's go." Shadow picked up two of the rabbits and went to the edge of the forest. "I'll let these guys go and you have to use that device I gave you to track them down. Try to find them ASAP and bring them back to me. Got it?"

Rouge nodded and Shadow released the rabbits into the forest. The bat waited for a moment and went in after them. She swung and flew through the green forest, keeping her eye on the tracking device she was holding to follow the rabbits. Those little critters were fast but she managed to find one of them in no time.

Shadow stood outside the forest reading one of his spellbooks when Rouge came back with the rabbit.

"Got one!" She shouted and put it down on the ground.

Shadow looked up from his book. "Where's the other one?" He asked.

"I haven't found it yet. I couldn't hold both rabbits and the tracking thing all at once."

Shadow nodded. "Well, get back in there and find it."

The white bat nodded and flew back into the forest to find the second rabbit. She looked around and at the tracking device she was holding but she couldn't find it. "Where are you little rabbit?" She called out.

Rouge swiveled her ears around to see if she could hear the rabbit making noise. She didn't hear any rabbits but she did hear a howling noise in the distance. Upon hearing that she rushed back out of the forest.

"Shadow! I heard howling!" She exclaimed.

"I heard it too." Shadow replied. "I totally forgot to watch the lunar cycle!"
