Chapter 9: The Other Werewolf
Chris's eyes widened as he saw the gun Shadow was holding. "What? No, we can't kill Sonic! Even if that is the only way to cure him, we can't do it!"
Shadow put the gun away. "I agree, Chris. We have to come up with something else."
Chris frowned in confusion. "Like what?"
Shadow cleared his throat. "I was reading online about the werewolf curse, and I saw that werewolves can control their transformations after the month they were bitten."
"You're not making any sense."
Shadow shook his head. "In other words, Sonic could have complete control over his werewolf transformation. When the full moon isn't around, he could transform at will, anytime he wants, and still retain his humanity. On a night of the full moon, however, he'd be forced to transform and be like he was last night. Do you understand now?"
Chris nodded and smiled. "Yeah, thanks a lot."
"You're welcome. Now, go see Sonic."
Shadow walked off as Chris ran into Sonic's room. Sonic sat next to Tails, who nodded as Sonic told him what happened. They looked up as Chris sat down on a chair across from them.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for the way I acted a few minutes ago, Sonic," he apologized.
Sonic's face remained emotionless. "It's no big deal, Chris. I understand."
Tails spoke up. "Sonic was telling me about last night."
Trying to retain composure, Sonic nodded. "I...I remember doing all those terrible things, and I'm sorry."
Tails shook his head. "Don't blame yourself, Sonic. You couldn't help it."
"You don't understand...it was horrible. And that other werewolf..."
Chris interrupted him. "What other werewolf?"
Sonic blinked. "Didn't I tell you? There's another werewolf out there, probably the same one that bit me and passed on this curse."
Chris and Tails looked at each other, wide-eyed and shocked. They looked back at Sonic.
"Wh...what can we do?" Chris asked Sonic.
Sonic shook his head. I don't know. Kill him, maybe?"
"Well, who is it?"
Tails sighed. "He doesn't know."
Sonic hung his head and walked out of the room. Chris looked at him in disbelief, shocked at what he had just heard.
