Chapter 48
Escape And A Threat
Sonic looked at his cuffed hands and growled to himself. He had to get out of there. Before the next night where his werewolf side might help Sonic-wolf. He looked at the bars connecting from the wall to the cuffs. Sonic tried to stretch his muzzle to bite the cuffs off, but it couldn't stretch like his arms. Sonic sighed and slouched his arms. He couldn't get out. There was no way out. Suddenly Sonic heard a screeching noise and Sonic looked up and growled. It was Sally-wolf.
"What Do You Want?" Sonic snarled.
Sally-wolf looked at Sonic with pained blue eyes and Sonic frowned.
"What?" Sonic asked.
Sally-wolf got a key out of her ruined and torn jacket pocket. She unlocked all of Sonic's cuffs and the werehog looked at her in disbelief.
"Why are you helping me?" Sonic asked.
"Because I want the old Sonic back. I don't love this new Sonic. I only pretend to love him, so he doesn't … kill me," she told Sonic.
Sonic stared at her in shock and horror.
"He would kill you even if you didn't obey him?" Sonic asked Sally-wolf.
Sally-wolf nodded and clasped her fingers together. Sonic clenched his hands into fists, drawing blood with his claws. Sonic, then, punched a wall in anger.
"Why Would He Do Such A Heartless Thing!" he shouted.
Sally-wolf was shocked at Sonic's aggression and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Please, calm down, I can get you as far as the dungeon doorway, but that's it," she told him.
Sonic nodded and looked at Sally-wolf.
"Is there anyone else who wants Sonic back?" Sonic asked.
"Yes. Almost everyone in the kingdom," Sally-wolf told him.
Sonic's eyes widened and she started for the cell door.
"Come on. Hurry. Before a guard comes," she told him.
Sonic nodded, took the sword of Acorns out of the wall and followed her. They walked through the open cell door and then closed it. Sonic looked back at his cell and frowned.
"Won't he get suspicious of who let me out?" Sonic asked.
"Yes. But he won't know who did it. Because we have all followed his orders for so long that he wouldn't know who let you escape because we've obeyed him for this long," Sally-wolf told him.
Sonic nodded and continued looking at the cell in anxiety. As they rounded the corner, Sally-wolf brought him back and held him behind her. She smelled guards coming and fast. She got a concerned expression on her face and looked at Sonic. He smiled at her, reassuringly, and got in front of her.
"Hold this," he said, handing her the sword.
She took it and held it away from her so it didn't burn her.
"Don't worry. They'll only see me. They won't see you," he told her.
Sally-wolf nodded and hid behind the wall and Sonic stood up tall and growled as his pupils became slits. The werewolf guards came around the corner and growled as they saw Sonic.
"Get Back In Your Cell, Werehog!" they snarled.
Sonic snarled back and whacked them on their heads with his fists. Then, he banged their heads together, causing them to go unconscious. Sonic's pupils became oval-shaped again and smiled at Sally-wolf. She smiled and led the way again. She handed the sword back to him and he took it back. Sonic felt joy in his body as he would finally get back at Sonic-wolf for the torture he gave him five hours ago.

Sonic-wolf sat on his throne and growled as he was starting to get bored.
"Where is Sally? She should be back by now. I send her to do one errand and she's over half an hour late," he snarled. "It's not that hard to get that damned sword out of that werehog's cell and bring it to me?"
He heard an alert sounding and knew that the prisoner had escaped.
"He must've used the sword to get out of the cuffs and probably ran out when Sally opened the door," he told himself.
Sonic-wolf snarled and got onto all fours and ran down the hall. He knew where the werehog would most likely head for and wasn't afraid to face him to the death.

Sonic ran onto the top of a tower on Castle Acorn and looked down over the edge. Werewolves had gathered underneath to try and stop him, but knew their king would do that himself. Sonic growled in frustration and clenched the sword tighter. He turned around, but saw a clawed hand on the side of the tower and knew at once who it was. Sonic-wolf came into full view as he climbed the rest of the way up and growled at the werehog in front of him.
"Give Me Back The Sword!" he growled.
Sonic looked at the sword and smiled, holding it up to show him.
"This?" he asked, acting stupid.
"Yes, that. Now Hand It Over!" he shouted, losing his temper.
Sonic frowned and watched Sonic-wolf draw closer to him as he drew further back. His clawed foot hit the edge and a few rocks fell from his weight. Sonic looked behind him and pointed the sword at Sonic-wolf. He just chuckled at the werehog.
"You're stupider than what I once was," he said.
Sonic growled at that comment.
"Don't come any closer," Sonic threatened, thrusting the sword at Sonic-wolf.
"I don't think so, blue werehog," he said.
Sonic furrowed his brow.
"If this won't than maybe…" Sonic took Chip's bracelet out of his quills and held it over the edge of the tower, "…maybe this will."
"Sonic, What Are You Doing?" Chip exclaimed, frightened.
Sonic growled and stretched his arm further away as he watched Sonic-wolf's expression change from anger to fear. Actual fear showed on his face as he stared at what the werehog was about to do.
If he let's go … the only light in me I have left will shatter, Sonic-wolf thought.
"What do you think, Sonic?" he asked. "Should I drop it and watch you suffer another loss of a friend or are you going to co-operate?"
The werewolves watched their leader make his decision. They all had their hands behind their backs with crossed fingers, begging that he would make the right choice. Sonic-wolf shook his head.
"NO! Give That Bracelet Back! It's Mine! Not Yours!" Sonic-wolf shouted, anger flaring in him.
Sonic smiled and dropped the bracelet and Sonic-wolf's eyes widened with fear.
"NOOOOOO!" he shouted as he fell on his knees and outstretched his arm.
The bracelet fell through the air and fell to the ground. It was a few metres from the ground when Sonic stretched his arm out more and caught the bracelet. He brought the bracelet up to him and held it and looked at Sonic-wolf's expression of fear and anguish.
"Unlike you, I don't like seeing others pain. That's why I give you this one chance," Sonic-wolf looked up at Sonic.
"What?" he asked.
"Become the Sonic you once were or I might actually let the wolf destroy this thing. And he actually feels up to it," Sonic threatened again.
Sonic-wolf took in a deep breath from the fear he experienced and stood back up.
"Al … Alright," he said and he held his hand out for the bracelet.
Sonic smiled and was about to hand the bracelet over when his mind was at war. He grabbed his head and roared in pain.
"Sonic, quickly the bracelet before…" he was cut off as Sonic's arm was forcefully thrown into the air, releasing the bracelet.
Sonic-wolf growled at Sonic, but saw it wasn't his doing. His eyes widened and his expression changed to worry. His eyes were now a blood red. His pupils were slits and a demonic, predator smile crept onto his face.
"I'm quite hungry. Get me food or I will crush it," he said in a demon-like werewolf voice as he caught the bracelet and held it in his fist.
Sonic-wolf looked at him in fear. Give him a weremobian to eat or get his last normal friend's communication with him destroyed.
