Chapter 47

Werewolf Torture And A Weakness Found

Sonic opened his eyes a crack. He was in a dungeon, again. This made him open them fully. He was in the same cell he was in before with Julie-Su, but this time she wasn't with him, which made him feel relieved. Sonic tried to stand up, but he fell back down hard on his butt.

"Ouch! What the…" he cut himself off when he looked up and saw that he was attached to the stone wall behind him by metal chains.

They weren't silver which relieved him, but they were strong enough to hold him. Sonic looked at the small barred window to his right and gasped. It was night time and he was chained. His werewolf form couldn't break the chains. That made no sense. If he was stronger in this form, wouldn't that mean he could break the chains? He couldn't continue his train of thought as he heard a loud screeching noise. Sonic looked to the cell door and saw the person (or werewolf) he didn't want to see at the moment. Sonic stood up and growled at Sonic-wolf. His sharp fangs bared at the werewolf in front of the door.

"Good to see you're awake," Sonic-wolf said.

Sonic continued growling at Sonic-wolf.

"I'm not glad to see you," Sonic growled.

"What? Do you want a little bit of convincing that you belong here with your own kind," Sonic-wolf said, smiling evilly.

"No I Don't! And You're Not My Kind! You're No Longer A Mobian!" Sonic snarled.

Sonic-wolf ran at Sonic and grabbed his neck and smashed his back against the stone wall.

"GAHHH!" Sonic cried as his arms and legs were tugged and stretched from the grab.

"You Are Unlike Any Other Werewolf On This Mobius, Sonic! You're Stronger Than Them! Stronger Than Me!" Sonic-wolf snarled in Sonic's face.

"How would that be possible when you've been a werewolf longer than me?" Sonic asked.

"Because your arms can stretch, ours can't. Whenever you get too angry, the werewolf takes over, that doesn't happen with us. And you have more people supporting you than what I had!" Sonic-wolf growled.

Sonic's eyes widened. Why would he say that? His parents would've supported him. Uncle Chuck, Sally and Tails would've. Wouldn't they?

"What about your family and friends? Wouldn't they have supported you?" Sonic asked.

"They. Did. Not. Support. Me. They. Just. Cared. About. The. Killings. I. Did," Sonic-wolf snarled.

"Why wouldn't they support you?" Sonic asked.

"Because, I Became A Monster Thanks To Robo-Butt!" Sonic-wolf exclaimed.

"Why couldn't you just tell them it wasn't you who attacked them when you went back to Mobian form?" Sonic asked.

"You don't get it, do you? I never returned to my Mobian form after sealing Dark Gaia back in the core! I remained like this during day and night! It was a nightmare not being able to tell my parents how sorry I was. How sorry I was about what I did. What did I ever do to deserve this? Well, that's in the past, and now … it's time for your punishment," Sonic-wolf growled.

Sonic frowned at Sonic-wolf.

"What type of punishment?" Sonic asked.

Sonic-wolf smiled a toothy grin at Sonic. He took a sword out of his belt and Sonic recognised it.

"The Sword Of Acorns … but Julie-Su…" Sonic was cut off by Sonic-wolf, "…Took a fake."

Sonic-wolf grinned wider and let go of Sonic's neck. He took a few steps back and let the werehog breath for a while, then striked. Sonic-wolf slashed the sword across Sonic's shoulder. The werehog screamed in pain as the silver made contact with his flesh and sliced it, burning it. Sonic wished he could grab his shoulder in an attempt to stop the bleeding, but the chains held his arms back from doing that. Sonic saw grey and red blood come from the wound. Sonic looked up at Sonic-wolf with a pleading expression on his face.

"That won't work with me, Sonic. I can do all the things, you can't yet," Sonic-wolf smirked and struck Sonic's waistline.

Sonic howled in pain and agony. He couldn't do anything. He was useless for those minutes he would continue getting tortured. Sonic-wolf swung the sword again at the other werehog. Sonic cried out in pain.

xxxxx

After one painful hour, Sonic-wolf smiled at the whimpering and cringing werehog in front of him. Sonic had long cuts on his right shoulder, waist, back and left leg. He had smaller cuts on his forehead, chest, right cheek and right hand. Sonic was lying on the hard stone ground, cringing at the burning sensation from the sword on his body.

"Maybe that will teach you not to get into other's business," Sonic-wolf snarled it into Sonic's ear, which he yanked up to his mouth level to say it to him.

Sonic cringed in pain and Sonic-wolf let go of Sonic's ear. Sonic dropped bac onto the ground as Sonic-wolf started to leave, but Sonic sat up, cautiously, and opened his eyes to look at his counterpart.

"Look, I … I know how it feels," Sonic told Sonic-wolf through his pain. "I know … how it feels, when you … lose control and … attack those you know against your … will."

Sonic-wolf stopped, his face not facing Sonic.

"No … you don't. You've never killed anyone you love or cared for," Sonic-wolf said, sounding close to tears being reminded of that memory.

"I do … I nearly killed my family. I attacked Echidnaopolis and murdered many echidnas and brutally wounded Knuckles, nearly turning him," Sonic told Sonic-wolf.

"You nearly killed your family. I did kill mine. The werewolf side didn't even care what I had done until they were both dead. You still have a family. I have none," Sonic-wolf said with no emotion, but Sonic could tell he was feeling pain and anguish from what he did.

A tear went down Sonic-wolf's face and Sonic felt guilt for making his counterpart cry.

"But they're still…" Sonic was cut off by Sonic-wolf throwing the sword of Acorns at him.

"SHUT UP!" Sonic-wolf shouted.

Sonic ducked his head and the sword got imbued in the rock above his head. Sonic looked at it, then at Sonic-wolf. He was breathing heavily and tears were streaming down his muzzle.

"THEY'RE GONE! ALL BECAUSE OF ME! NOTHING CAN BRING THEM BACK! ALL BECAUSE OF ME!" Sonic-wolf roared at Sonic. "You should be glad you don't have my life."

With that Sonic-wolf slammed the cell door shut and left. Leaving Sonic thinking to himself about what just transpired in front of him. He found out a weakness to Sonic-wolf. It's the same weakness Sonic has other than silver. Someone mentioning someone he killed. Especially his parents. Now all the werehog had to do … was get out of there.
