Okay so this is the last chapter that I will be posting for awhile, as I'm going tonight, so I hope you enjoy this chapter and I will try and work on the next chapters while I'm away

"So you're telling me that, that dog is actually Chris and he is like that because of Eggman" Knuckles said slowly

"Yep now do you understand what we were trying to tell you before" asked Sam

Knuckles grunted "yes I get it can you untie me now" he said to Sonic

For the past half hour Sam and Sonic we're relaying what happened to them to Knuckles, who they had managed to tie up with rope so he wouldn't try attacking their friend again

Sonic quickly untied the echidna, who then looked to the boy-turned-dog who had been silent for the past twenty minutes

"How's the kid taking it in? He's been really quiet" Knuckles asked Sonic who looked at his friend a little worried

"To be honest I don't think he's taking it well" Sonic answered "and I don't exactly blame him either I'm wondering if he's gone into shock or something"

Sam walked up to Chris to check to see if he was alright, what he found though made him chuckle

"I don't think he's in shock Sonic I think that he's just fallen asleep" Sam laughed

Sonic and Knuckles looked and sure enough the boy was asleep they both gave a chuckle of their own

"I suppose that's one way of getting over something, just sleep on it" Sonic said

"Or maybe his body is just not used to the changes yet and needs to catch up" replied Knuckles

Sam went into a thinking pose and said "Actually now that I think about I think something similar to this has happened to him before"

Both Knuckles and Sonic turned to him in surprise "what do you mean?" They asked simultaneously

"I'm not really sure what happened exactly but I think it was when he was just about two years old when it happened, so he doesn't really remember it, you may have to ask Chuck about the full details of it though"

Sonic then turned to Knuckles "by the way why are you here aren't you supposed to be guarding the master emerald, and why do you look so beat up"

"That's why I came here I was attacked last night when I was guarding the master emerald" Knuckles grunted

"By who Eggman?" Asked Sam

"Nope it wasn't even human, it was more like some demon wolf or something" Replied Knuckles

"Is that why you attacked Chris because you thought he was another one of what attacked you?" Responded Sonic

Knuckles nodded "yep whatever it was that attacked me was strong and it tried to take quite a few bites out of me" a triumphant smirk then appeared on his face "too bad for it though cause it didn't stand a chance, as soon as it saw it couldn't win it turned tail and ran"

"What about the master emerald? Did that thing try to take it?" Questioned Sonic

"At one point it did get close and it just...well sniff it really, the it backed away from it and started growling at it, that was when I managed to get a hit on it and then it ran"

Sonic wore a look of confusion as he was trying to come up with a reason for the creature's actions "I've got no reason as to why it would do that, that's pretty weird"

"Well I have a feeling that it won't be coming back tonight, so I suppose we could think about other problems such as Eggman and what he's planning, such as why turn the kid into a dog that's something I don't get" Knuckles said

Sonic turned to look at his friend seeing that he was still asleep before turning to look back at Knuckles "yeah that is a good question, why turn Chris into a dog and better yet how do we turn him back"

"I'm going to phone gramps maybe he knows something on how to turn him back" Sam said before leaving the room

Both Sonic and Knuckles were left in the room with only silence between them, however that silence became broken

They both heard the sound of small whimpering and turned to see Chris tossing and turning in his sleep, Sonic started trying to shake the boy awake

"Hey Chris wake up it's just a bad dream"

Chris' eyes snapped open and he flung his head around and almost bit Sonic's hand off, Sonic and Knuckles jumped back at the sudden attack

"Hey relax pal it's just me" said Sonic, but Knuckles noticed that something wasn't right

"Something's wrong with the kid here, I don't he's even aware of what he's doing just look at his eyes" Chris' pupils were dilated and his eyes were slightly glazed

Sonic and Knuckles were trying to catch the distressed boy but he kept managing to slip away from their grip

At one point he almost ran straight into a wall trying to avoid Knuckles

"We got to try and keep him still and calm him down, if this continues someone might get hurt" Sonic breathed

"Why don't we try knocking him out like a sedative or something" Knuckles suggested "and how the heck does he keep slipping away" he yelled as once again failed to catch Chris

"I think that there is some sedative shots, and he's probably slipping away easily because he's smaller" Sonic replied back to Knuckles

Knuckles and Sonic started trying to get Chris into a small empty room, Sam came running into the hall after hearing the noises they were making

"Hey what's going on in here?" He asked

"Long story short Chris just went out of control and we have to use a sedative to calm him down" Sonic answered him

"Wait sedative, you're not about to use a syringe are you" Sam asked with a hint of alarm in his voice

"Yeah we're using a sedative"

Sam became alarmed when he heard this "wait that's a bad idea you can't use a syringe on him..." The rest of Sam's voice was unheard as Sonic and Knuckles managed to get Chris into the room and they had to corner him

"Sorry about this kid" Knuckles said as he swooped in and grabbed Chris by the scruff "Sonic hurry up and get that sedative ready the kid's struggling here"

Sonic had the sedative ready and was coming up near Chris "easy Chris it's alright but we really need you to calm down now or you're gonna hurt yourself"

When Chris looked at Sonic his eyes widened and then without warning he started to struggle even more in Knuckles grip, Knuckles was starting to have a harder time holding him

"OWWW!"

Chris had bitten down on Knuckles' hand to dropped him, He then ran under a nearby table

Knuckles was holding his sore hand "Sonic hurry up and give him that sedative NOW!" He yelled

Sonic crouched down near the table and tried to grab his distressed friend but he couldn't reach him, "seriously pal you're not making this easy for us here"

The door to the room suddenly slammed open causing everyone to jump, the three occupants looked to see who was at the door

Okay so I hoped you enjoyed this and please review and tell me what you think ;)
