A/N: Okay, the antidote has been made and Sherman used his dose to cure Amber of her lycanthropy. Hayden on the other hand is almost finished with his transformation and the full moon is almost out in the sky. This is where we left off. Also, only one more chapter to go and then we can get on with the sequel! Enjoy!
Sherman walked around the dance for Hayden as the crowd that was surrounding him had disbanded and went back to their normal dancing, socializing, eating, or drinking.
"Give me the other antidote" Sherman said to Jimmy as he held his hand out. Jimmy nodded and handed over the needle and Sherman set off into the crowd to find Hayden.
"Hayden! Hayden!" shouted Sherman as he tried to get his friend's attention. Sherman then spotted Hayden getting told off by Valerie.
"You think you're hot stuff now huh?" asked Valerie with attitude.
"I don't think, I KNOW that I'm hot stuff. Don't be surprised if I get elected as homecoming prince" retorted Hayden. Valerie scoffed and spoke.
"Like you'd ever get elected" Valerie said.
"I bought a lot of votes with these bad boys" Hayden said unzipping his jacket and revealing his six pack.
"Oh yeah. I didn't even have to work out to get them" Hayden whispered seductively to her and then zipped his jacket back up and walked away from Valerie. Sherman then took this chance to walk up to Hayden.
"Hayden!" Sherman called out. Hayden looked to Sherman and then spoke.
"Oh, Sherman. Glad you could join the party. I thought you said you weren't gonna go" Hayden said with a smile and showed his sharp wolf teeth.
"Hayden, listen to me. This isn't you, this... this... virus, it's using up your evil side, and that's not who you are" Sherman said, trying to convince him to fight back what was making him a werewolf.
"You think I don't know that? And for your information, it feels so good to be me right now. I'm popular with the girls, I have a six pack of abs. You think I'm gonna give that up?" Hayden asked. Sherman just scoffed and unzipped Hayden's jacket to reveal where he was bitten on his left side of his midsection.
"What are you doing?" Hayden asked outraged. Sherman then held the second dose of liquid silver like a knife and got ready to inject it into Hayden's bite.
"Giving you your old life back" Sherman said.
"NO!" Hayden shouted. He smacked the needle out of Sherman's hand and it fell to the floor and broke. Liquid silver stained the hardwood polished floor of the gym.
"Sorry" Hayden said sarcastically as he zipped his jacket back up to his chest.
"Why are you acting like this?" Sherman asked with tears threatening to come out his eyes due to the fear that he was losing his only best friend since he was four and since he moved to Wolf Creek.
"Because, you and I were outsiders before any of this started. Now because of... this, I know what it's like to be popular, one of the shiny happy people like that snobby chick, Valerie. I was scared at first, but then I began embracing it, the need to feed on meat, the need to release my dark side, and the need to kill. Now look at me, I'm what you never could become" Hayden declared. Sherman's tears now began leaking and Sherman sobbed a bit.
"Hayden (Sniffle) you-you don't mean that" Sherman said sadly.
"Yes. I. Do" Hayden said. Then a voice spoke out on the microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce your homecoming prince and princess" said one of the school faculty workers. Now, Hayden looked up to the stage.
"The princess is... Valerie Dawson!" and everyone began clapping for her. She was crowned as soon as she got up on stage and blew kisses to the audience.
"And now for your prince. And the winner is... Hayden McClaine!" shouted the faculty member. Sherman was in shock that Hayden won.
"Thanks for everything. And by everything, I mean... nothing" Hayden said to Sherman as he walked up on stage and got a crown placed on his white hair. Valerie's jaw was lowered in shock.
"Told ya it wouldn't be impossible for me" Hayden whispered to the snobby rich girl. Valerie then growled and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Will our prince please say a few words before moving onto the princess?" asked the faculty member. Hayden took the microphone and spoke.
"Thank you so much, it's truly an honor to receive this title. You are all such amazing people that I know will make it far in this world. And now, I wanna repay you by doing something I've never done before just for you" said Hayden. They clapped for his speech and Hayden raised his hand and slapped Valerie, making her head rotate in the opposite direction and make a cracking sound. Valerie fell to the ground, stone cold dead.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" the other students screamed. Hayden then looked to the other students and picked the microphone back up.
"You're next" he whispered. They tried making their ways to the door but Hayden jumped high in the air and stood in their way. Peabody then saw Hayden and moved closer to him slowly.
"Hayden, just hold still and I'll return you back to your normal self in no time" said Peabody. Hayden noticed the beagle approaching and pounced on him. The needle fell out his paw and landed in an air vent.
"Oops" said Hayden. Jimmy spotted a tripod for a camera and picked it up. He hit Hayden in the back of the head with it and Hayden fell off Peabody and onto the floor unconscious.
"Where's the antidote?" asked Jimmy.
"Hayden knocked it out of my hand and it went down that vent" Mr. Peabody said as he helped Jimmy pick Hayden up.
"Oh great!" exclaimed Jimmy as he stomped his foot on the floor. Sherman ran over to see the unconscious Hayden be carried by Peabody and Sherman into Jimmy's dad's van who Peabody and Jimmy took on the way to the dance.
"Come on!" Peabody shouted to Sherman. Sherman ran up to the van and sat next to Jimmy in the middle. After that, the van drove off to Sherman and Peabody's house.
"We'd better get to my house before the moon gets up" Jimmy said. After fifteen minutes they were at Jimmy's house and Hayden's parents, Marcus and Julie were at the door. Sherman, Jimmy, and Peabody got out the van and Julie spoke.
"Peabody, what is going on here? Where is Hayden?" asked Julie.
"You might not believe me, but Hayden is turning into a werewolf" Peabody said. Julia scoffed.
"Pfft, oh yeah, like that's super believable. Where is he?" Julia asked. Clearly she wasn't convinced. The van began banging from the inside and then the door on the side was flung over to the three where it received a dent and fell to the grass.
"Oh" Sherman started.
"Crud" Jimmy said. Out of the van came out a gray-furred werewolf that was the side of the van itself, the eyes were glowing yellow and there were no pupils or irises, no nothing, the teeth were longer and sharper than before, and it was supporting it's weight on it's knuckles and it's toes.
"What is that thing?" Marcus asked as he was in shock staring at the wolf.
"That's your son" Sherman said. The wolf Hayden roared in Marcus' face and pounced on him. He ripped his own father to shreds. Julia began screaming and ran behind Peabody with her hands covering her agape jaw.
"Get inside! Quickly!" Peabody advised. They all ran inside and locked the door. Wolf Hayden looked and saw them all run inside the house and tried to get into the house by banging on the metal door.
"We're trapped" Jimmy said.
A/N: Hayden has lost control and declined Sherman's help, the antidotes are all gone, Hayden killed Valerie, and now Hayden's a giant wolf who killed his own father and ate him. More to come in the final chapter. Please review, thanks!
