Chapter 19
What To Do?
The screen turned off as Julie-Su sighed and turned to look at the unconscious body of Sonic. She soon looked at the door leading to the living room where Knuckles was lying on the couch. Mighty walked over to Julie-Su and put his hand on her shoulder.
"He's going to be fine, 'Su" Mighty told Julie-Su.
"Are you sure?" Julie-Su asked. "Do you think he will end up like Sonic?"
"I doubt it" Mighty said.
"What do you mean?" Julie-Su asked.
"Well, I'm not entirely sure. I don't know that much about werewolves, but I know enough to know that Sonic isn't a complete werewolf yet" Mighty explained.
Julie-Su looked over at Sonic once again and then turned back to Mighty.
"How do you know?" Julie-Su asked.
"Because his werewolf form doesn't look too much like the one I saw in the carving on the wall in the cave at Lupe and Lobos" Mighty explained once again.
"A carving of a werewolf on a wall in a cave that looks like Sonic?" Julie-Su asked.
Mighty nodded and looked toward the unconscious hedgehog on the table. He sighed and looked out the window as the sun got higher in the sky. The light from the sun shining through the window as it rose.
"I'm going to go check on…Knuckles" Vector was cut short when he saw Knuckles limping through the door toward them.
"Check on me? I'm fine" Knuckles responded.
Julie-Su ran over to Knuckles and hugged him in a very tight grip. Knuckles cringed as she touched one of his cuts. Julie-Su let go of Knuckles and took a few steps back.
"Sorry" she apologized.
"It's okay" Knuckles said.
Julie-Su looked over Knuckles' body and saw all his cuts and bruises.
"I'm sure Sonic didn't mean anything he did last night…" Julie-Su said, "…especially what he did to us."
Julie-Su muttered the last part as she looked back at Mighty.
"Will I end up like Sonic?" Knuckles asked, a little bit of fear in his voice.
Mighty shook his head at Knuckles' question and crossed his arms.
"Well, we better get ready for when Sally comes to pick Sonic up and take him home" Mighty told them.
"Are you sure we can trust him?" Knuckles asked. "He might transform again."
"No, he won't. It's not a full moon tonight. He will only transform during a full moon and they have all passed. He will have to wait till next month" Mighty explained.
Knuckles' midnight eyes widened when he heard that and stared at Mighty. Mighty saw Knuckles staring at him and looked out the window again.
"I only know a little bit about werewolves, but enough to know that stuff" Mighty said.
Knuckles raised an eyebrow at Mightys' sentence and then looked at Sonics' unconscious body.
"You already called Sally?" Knuckles asked.
"Yes, she's probably worried sick about him" Julie-Su told Knuckles.
"That's why I suggested we should tell her in the morning" Knuckles said. "When is she coming?"
"She's coming soon" Mighty said.
"Well, then we better get him ready for when she gets here" Knuckles teased the unconscious body of Sonic.
Sonic just layed there on the table not moving at Knuckles' little joke, while Mighty and Julie-Su stared at Knuckles with a glare.
"What?" Knuckles asked.
"Can't you go one minute without making a comment about Sonic?" Mighty asked.
Knuckles thought for moment, then shook his head at Mighty.
"I guess not whenever Sonics' around" Knuckles said.
"Can we stop this and think about what we're going to do" Julie-Su told them.
"Right" Mighty and Knuckles both said.
Mighty kept his arms crossed and stared at the floor waiting for some sort of idea to pop into his head. Then suddenly it hit him.
"Maybe she doesn't have to know. Every full moon we can go and visit him and lock him in one of the cells in the castle dungeon" Mighty suggested.
"And that would help how?" Knuckles asked.
"Why can't we just tell her?" Julie-Su asked.
"This is Sonics' problem not ours. So either we tell her or he tells her himself" Knuckles said.
"He can tell her" Mighty and Julie-Su said in unison.
"Correct. Seeing as Sonic and Sally are now together…" Knuckles did a heart gesture with his hands as he spoke, "…he should tell her."
Mighty and Julie-Su both nodded at what Knuckles had just said.
"Though I believe Sonic will never tell Sally until he thinks the time is right" Mighty spoke.
"Right, when Sally gets here we'll just tell her we found him in the forest" Julie-Su explained.
"Exactly, because that is half true. I did find him in the forest" Knuckles said.
"But, we won't tell her anything about what happened last night" Mighty said.
"What if she sees what happened to Downtown Echidnaopolis?" Knuckles asked as he crossed his arms.
"Easy" Vector said. "We can tell her that Robotnik attacked."
Knuckles raised an eyebrow at Vectors' answer.
"And will she think the same thing happened to me?" Knuckles asked.
Vector just shrugged at Knuckles' question.
"Maybe" Vector said.
"What if she asks why she wasn't informed about it?" Julie-Su asked.
"We were too busy keeping Robotnik from destroying everything" Vector explained.
"Good. Everything seems believable" Knuckles told his friends.
"Still…" Julie-Su turned to face the unconscious body of Sonic "…I wonder how many other people know about Sonic"
Sorry, it was a long wait but I couldn't think of anything so I just thought of this. And school, thinking of other fics, more school, friends, and well, look at that more school. Stupid school. Anyway, enjoy. SXS OUT! R&R
