Chapter 14: Bitten

Once he was back at the cave, he sighed and shook his head. The tears were still in his eyes as he looked at the cave floor. The wolf looked around and growled, then walked deeper into the cave. It lay down and put its head on its paws. He whined and closed his eyes, not wanting to go back outside tonight. That is until he heard footsteps approaching him and he growled, knowing who it was.

You have done well, the Master said. In a few more days, you will become the new Master and lose control forever.

Sonic snarled at him and stood up, walking away. He wasn't in the mood for his talk about him 'doing well killing people' or 'that he'd be the new Master and would lose control in this many days. He didn't at that moment. Right now, all he cared about was that he had nearly killed Blaze. The Master watched him leave and chuckled. Everything was going according to plan. Sonic sat lay down at the back of the cave, facing the cave wall. He stared at it, thinking about what he had done to her. He hoped she wouldn't become a vampire. then again, he was a wolf when he bit her so...did that count?

She won't become a vampire but she will transform into a wolf, the Master said, reading his mind. It depends on the form that you're in at the time if you bite someone.

So...she'll be like a werewolf then?

Yes, she'll be a werewolf.

Sonic growled at himself as he turned back to face the wall. Dammit...

She'll transform on every full moon and have all the powers and weaknesses of a werewolf. They are our mortal enemies also. Sonic widened his eyes and looked down in horror. He looked at the wall with a frown, stood up and ran at it in anger. The wolf slashed the wall in anger and lay down, growling. The Master looked at it. Why are you acting like this? He asked.

Sonic glared at him and turned back to the wall, his back facing the Master. It then clicked in the Master's head of why he was so angry about biting this particular female.

You like her, don't you? Sonic snarled when the Master said that as if he had hit a nerve on the wolf. It nodded and turned away. The Master smirked. Vampires always go after the ones they love.

The wolf turned his head and snarled, his lips pulling back to reveal his fangs. He wasn't in the mood to listen or even hear the Master talking about him. The Master smirked and walked away. Sonic howled, and then lay down to sleep, curling his tail around his body. Sonic whimpered, closing his eyes, thinking about what he had done to Blaze. He just hoped...that she wouldn't hold it against him.

Blaze groaned in pain. She could feel something different about her, and looked at Knuckles. "He bit me. What will happen?"

Knuckles shook his head as he looked at the bite. "I don't know, but we better get that bandaged. Let's get to Tails'. That's the only place close to here."

They nodded and walked over to Tails' house. They knocked on the door and Tails opened it. His eyes widened in shock.

"What happened?!" he exclaimed, though he thought he may already knew the answer to that.

"Sonic bit her," Knuckles told him.

Tails widened his eyes at this information. "Sonic...bit you...?"

Blaze nodded. She then froze and looked at Tails as she began to sniff, and caught Tails' scent. "You..." she said. "You're one of them!"

Tails bent his ears back in fear. "W...What are you talking about?" he asked, trying to hide his fear of them finding out, but he was failing.

"I can smell your scent, vampire. It's changed."

Tails looked down and sighed. "Fine. I'm one of them." Blaze growled, but Tails held his hands up in defense. "But I'm a half vampire. Sonic got the worms out of my system before I became a full vampire! You could say ... he sorta saved me."

Blaze scoffed and shook her head, as Knuckles laughed.

"Really? Why would he save you when he attacked us?" Knuckles asked.

Tails looked down with tears appearing his eyes. "He's been telling me everything that's going in over there, even before I became a half vampire. I tried to find a cure for him. But his ...Master told him there wasn't one, but that didn't stop me from trying. Then ...he told me his Master told him the reason he had free will was because he'd become the new Master and he'd lose that control every so often until he lost it forever. He only had until the end of this week."

"That's only a few days from now," Blaze said. "Why would he attack us and kill innocent people if he has control?"

Tails shook his head at her question. "Like I said, he loses control every so often. He nearly attacked me while here once giving me information, but stopped himself. I noticed that he grabbed his head when he was trying to fight the evil vampire side of him."

"So, that was the one that attacked us...not Sonic?" Knuckles asked, confused.

"Did he grab his head and look like he was in pain?" Tails asked.

"Yes, he did. A few times, in fact. But even so, it was still Sonic."

Tails sighed, rubbing his forehead with his thumb and pointer. "We can talk more about this later. Let's just get that bite bandaged first." Tails pointed to where Blaze's bite wound was.

"Keep your hands away from me, vampire. I'll be fine," Blaze said.

The fox frowned, wondering what was wrong. This wasn't a symptom of the vampire transformation. He had to take a sample of Blaze's blood.

"Umm, Blaze, can I get a sample of your blood?" She glared at him and Tails sighed. "It's for scientific preferences; to what'll happen to you since Sonic bit you. You're not exactly acting like a vampire."

Knuckles turned to Blaze with a frown. "He's right. Then again, Sonic, was a wolf when he bit Blaze."

That made Tails' eyes widen. "Could him changing into a wolf and biting you mean that you'll become a werewolf. They're usually the mortal enemies of vampires, that's why you're acting so against me."

Blaze glared at him, but then sighed and nodded, holding out her arm. "Fine; go ahead."

Tails nodded, went down to the lab and came out with a clean syringe. "This will only hurt for second."

He stuck the syringe into Blaze's arm and she winced. When he took it out, he smiled and the two left. He took the syringe down to the lab to examine it through the computer.

His eyes widened as he saw Blaze's cells begin to mutate and change.

"Oh, my...she is a werewolf..." Tails said, biting his bottom lip. He looked over at his calendar and widened his eyes. "And tomorrow night's the full moon!"
