And now for the aftermath

Chapter 14

Arthur rushed to the now free Alfred to check if the officer was alright, his ears desperately trying to block out the sounds of Romulus being eaten alive followed by them fighting eachother for scrapes. Alfred was panting heavily as he knelt on the floor, his body covered in several bruises and scrapes along with a bad looking bite on his arm. To his dismay, Arthur could already make out a small pair of ears pointing out of his head.

"Alfred, do you feel alright?" Arthur asked dully, trying to focus on some way to stop the man from turning into yet another werewolf.

"My head hurts but other than that…what's with all of the noise?" Alfred asked, only to have Arthur answer the question by pointing him to the view of the werewolves finishing up with Romulus. After a pause to see the sight he muttered out an "Oh."

Arthur also looked at the scene, seeing that the werewolves were done with their attack and seemed to each lay down for a rest. As he watched the scene, Kiku and Ludwig walked over to them and also stared; unsure of what to say in that situation. Arthur then noticed something interesting.

Francis and Antonio were gradually losing their ears and tail, followed by Roderick and Elizabeta. After noticing this Kiku asked, "What do you think is happening to them?"

"…I'm not sure, but…it looks like they are turning back into normal people. This is amazing!" Arthur answered.

"What about those three? They seem to be staying the same," Ludwig asked as he pointed towards Feliciano, Lovino, and Sebo.

Arthur thought for a moment before musing, "Well, if what Romulus said was true, then those three were born werewolves. So it may take more to fully turn them back than it did the others who were turned after an attack."

"And what about me?" Alfred asked upon noticing his ears.

In response to this, Arthur carefully made his way to Lovino and with a small knife cut a wound in the unconscious werewolf. He then equally carefully soaked a handkerchief with the werewolf's blood and wiped a bit of silver he could find on Sebo's face onto it. With the handkerchief in hand, Arthur made his way back to Alfred and stuck it into the officer's open mouth; all the while telling him to suck the blood out of it. At first Alfred protested saying that it was completely disgusting and would blame him if he got sick from it, but eventually did as he was told. A few minutes later, Alfred's head was back to normal.

"So know what do we do?" Alfred asked as he got up to test his aching body.

"I've been gone a while, so I should let my staff know that I am alright ," Ludwig answered and began to leave, only to then stare at Feliciano, sigh, and rejoin the group.

"We should call in help to make sure that the others will be alright," Kiku offered. Arthur agreed with this idea and asked them to wait for the paramedics while he left to do some more business.

"Where do you think you're going?" Alfred asked.

"Well, I should probably start seeing if there is a way to change those three into humans or in the very least stop their werewolf tendencies. I also need to make sure that that lad got out alright incase he also got turned," Arthur answered and left.

"That was so awesome! I knew I needed to watch," Gilbert cheered as he talked to Arthur on his way around town on errands.

"I know Gilbert, I was there you twit, remember," Arthur said with a sigh; not understanding why the ghost decided to annoy him today.

Several days had passed since the incident, and the others were starting to get their lives back into order. Those with stores had them reopened and Alfred now had a new story to boast about to his friends at the station. Peter was also alright, mainly just freighted, and refused to leave Arthur's neighborhood and house for a couple days. The only issue left concerned the Vargas brothers.

Arthur was unsuccessful in finding a way to turn them into humans or in simply suppressing their nature for good. Part of him wished that he could have asked Romulus about how he was able to do so when he left them, but Arthur knew better than to summon a newly dead ghost. Besides, the last thing he needed was another ghost to annoy him.

Instead, the most he could do was craft three silver colors to help deter the nature; one for each brother. The only real issue with these was the fact that they still kept the ears and tail; not that they seemed to overly mind. Several of the others agreed to also keep an eye on them in case they tried something again despite the collars.

As they walked down the streets, Arthur could not help but give out a sigh upon noticing Alfred drive up near him and honk his horn. Gilbert vanished at the noise, only to watch as an annoyed Arthur looked over to Alfred and asked what he wanted.

"Nothing, just wanted to see how you're doing after everything that happened," Alfred answered with his signature smile. Upon hearing Arthur say that he was fine, Alfred asked if he wanted to eat lunch together and talk over a new case, only for the youth to turn pale when the invisible Gilbert answered, "He could, if you proclaim my awesomeness on that radio thingy of yours."

Upon hearing this, Alfred looked to where the voice was coming from only to see Gilbert re-appear and laugh menacingly at him. To this Alfred slammed on the gas pedal and drove off, cutting off two cars and almost hitting a third in the process. Arthur simply shook his head at this and chastised the ghost, only to continue with his shopping while Gilbert was too focused on his fun to notice the detective leave him.

So that was fun to write^^
