A/N: We discovered Amber became a werewolf because of Hayden's accidental biting of her in chapter 3. and Jimmy revealed that liquid silver can cure a werewolf. Now Sherman is still having trouble controlling Hayden since his rebellious side has been unleashed due to this whole Lycanthropy thing. Enjoy!
Later that night, Hayden was walking down the street and he saw teenagers sitting by a fire in front of a dumpster. They noticed Hayden and walked up to him.
"Look what we have here. We've got ourselves a wanderer" mocked one teenager as he took a sip of beer and spat it in Hayden's face.
"Wanna have some fun kid? Yeah, we'll have some fun" said the second teenager and shoved Hayden to the street.
"Don't touch me" he growled. Hayden's yellow eyes began glowing and he began snarling at them.
"We are so screwed aren't we?" asked the first teenager. The other teenagers nodded in agreement. Hayden opened his mouth to reveal his sharp fangs and charged at the first teenager. He made a meal out of the first teenager in a matter of thirty seconds. Hayden then got up, licked some blood off his fingers and looked to the other teenagers who were shivering in fright of Hayden.
"You're next" whispered Hayden as he pointed a blood covered finger at them. They screamed and ran away, but Hayden jumped forward super high and landed in front of them.
"Sorry, but I'm fast. Outrunning me would just be a waste of time" Hayden joked cruelly. He then jumped in front of them and feasted on their bodies.
Meanwhile, at Sherman's house, he and Mr. Peabody were watching the news.
"A grand total of three bodies were discovered in front of Wolf Creek Spirits and Liquor store. We haven't been able to identify the bodies yet or who is responsible but they suspect that it was a wolf" said the reporter on the TV. Sherman looked up after hearing the word 'Wolf' being said on the screen.
"Hayden" he muttered.
"What was that?" Mr. Peabody asked.
"Nothing" Sherman replied as he just got up off the couch and went straight to bed.
It was now two o' clock in the morning and Sherman woke up to hear munching and crunching noises. Sherman put his glasses on and walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. When he got there, he saw Hayden eating all the fruits and vegetables out the fridge.
"Hayden?" Sherman asked softly to get his attention. Hayden looked to Sherman and snarled. Sherman flinched a bit and backed away. Hayden then ran out the kitchen and jumped out the window. Sherman looked around to reveal the mess that Hayden made. He picked up everything and threw it in the trash and took that out to the front porch, he'd take it out tomorrow. But for now he just went back to bed.
The next morning, Sherman woke up to see Hayden waiting for him at the breakfast table wearing the same clothes from yesterday and eating bacon off the small plate, but he was eating like an animal.
"Boy, Hayden, you really are hungry" said Peabody as he looked away from the dishes he was washing to see Hayden and his monstrous appetite.
"Hayden, what are you doing here?" asked Sherman with a nervous smile and a barely audible tone.
"Seriously? I'm your best friend and we walk to school together every single day, remember?" asked Hayden like Sherman was stupid.
"Oh yeah, my bad" Sherman said as he picked his school bag up and walked to the door.
"Sherman, aren't you going to eat anything?" asked Mr. Peabody.
"No, I'll get something at school" said Sherman quietly. Hayden then followed Sherman out the door with his book bag around his shoulder.
That day at school, Hayden and Sherman didn't exchange a word at all.
When Sherman got home, he saw Mr. Peabody sitting on the couch with his forearms crossed.
"Mr. Peabody, what's going on?" asked Sherman. The beagle patted the seat next to him, signaling for Sherman to sit down. The boy complied and sat down.
"What's going on between you and Hayden? It's not like you two to be ignoring each other like this" asked Mr. Peabody.
"What do you mean? Nothing's going on with Hayden and I" Sherman said softly as he lied to his father.
"Don't lie to me, Sherman. What's going on? You know you can tell me anything" Peabody persuaded to his son. Sherman sighed and spoke.
"Okay, but only if you keep it between us and don't say I'm crazy or call the cops or the circus" Sherman said trying to make his terms clear to his adopted father.
"Sherman, what are you trying to say?" asked Peabody to his son like he was crazy.
"Promise me" said Sherman with a more serious tone of voice.
"Alright. I promise to keep it just between us" said Mr. Peabody.
"Hayden... Hayden is kind of a werewolf" said Sherman. Peabody's eyes went wide.
"What?" asked the beagle.
"Hayden is a werewolf. On our way home from that bonfire party last week Hayden got attacked by some giant wolf and after that things began changing" said Sherman.
"What kind of changes?" asked Mr. Peabody.
"Like, changes in his hair color, nails and teeth getting sharper, eyes turning yellow, cravings for meat, killing people and animals, pointy ears, and howl at the moon" said Sherman.
"Sherman" Peabody began but Sherman cut him off.
"I knew you'd just blow it off as some make-believe game" Sherman said with his hands covering his face Peabody made Sherman look at him and spoke in a gentle voice.
"No, Sherman, I believe you" Peabody said. Sherman's eyes went wide.
"You do?" asked Sherman in disbelief.
"Yes, I encountered one when I was a pup. It phased in front of me and killed a little child and it's mother in front of me. That's one of the reasons why I'm so overprotective of you at times, so you won't end up like that child and mother" Peabody explained.
"So... that means you'll help?" Sherman asked.
"Yes, what do we have to do?" asked Peabody.
"A kid at school said he was making liquid silver. We can inject that into where Hayden was bitten and then he'll be back to normal" Sherman explained.
"When did he say he'd give you the silver?" asked the beagle.
"Tomorrow" said Sherman. Peabody's eyes went wide and he grew worried.
"What's wrong?" asked the auburn haired boy.
"Tomorrow is a full moon. He'll shift to his true wolf form and we'll all be in danger" Peabody said. Sherman now knew what was happening.
"Oh no" said Sherman.
A/N: So, Sherman discovered that Peabody believes him about the whole werewolf thing. Hayden killed three teenagers and ate them, and tomorrow night, the night of homecoming is a full moon, which will make Hayden even more deadly unless Peabody, Sherman, and Jimmy do something. More to come in the next update. Please review, thanks!
