....G-get up Wilde...

...you have to..

For her, Judy...

Nick's eyes slowly opened. To his view came the cell on it's side, officers tending to each other. Yet he was still on his side, in blood.

What!?

Nick sat up straight, he let his eyes adjust, while all he heard was ringing in his ears.

Chief Bogo approached him, but Nick stared at him, not knowing what he was saying because he couldn't hear. He shifted his gaze down, where Bryson was, lifeless in a pool of his own blood, the same blood Nick was laying in. He saw as the other officers looked at him, they all looked frightened, shocked even. Yet chief Bogo kept trying to talk to him, but he couldn't hear.

Nick tried to stand, and next thing he knew, the officers had their guns pointed at him. He slowly sat back on the ground, eyes not leaving theirs.
Nick tried to speak but he couldn't, he couldn't speak. It almost felt like he couldn't breath.

What is happening? Wha-what's going on?

He questioned himself.

He looked back at Bryson, and noticed something different. He was mauled. Bit, scratched, torn at. Nick then looked up, back at all the officers. All were prey, so where were the-

.....they lay scattered in the hall. Nick could see. The blood of his fellow officers. The bodies matching the blood

No wonder why....why they are looking at me like this..

He was a predator...

(Flash back)

A low growl escaped his lips, his eyes dilated and yellow. He slowly got on all fours, approaching the struggling bunny.

Bryson eyes widened as he saw the fox. Before he could scream, the fox attacked his neck, sinking it's razor teeth into him, painting him in blood. Deep. Deeper his teeth went. Spraying the thick substance into the air.

Pulling back, the fox ripped the bunny's throat from the body, growling and snarling as it devoured the chunk of rabbit meat. He saw the bunny's paw twitch and attacked it again, this time the stomach, biting deeply into it.

The fox looked up, and saw what made him stop. Judy.

"N-Nick..." she said.

The fox growled at her, lunging at her but she dodged it.

"Nick, this is not right." She said, her voice cracking.

Nick growled louder, jumping at her but missing again. "This is not how our story goes."

Nick repeatedly tried to attack her but no avail. "Nick, how are we supposed to be together, to do things together, if you won't listen?"

Nick stopped, and listened. "Look at you, if you do this, you'll go crazy. You wouldn't be able to look at me the same."

"You'd look at me as food...prey. And I'd have no choice but to leave you.."

Nick's eyes changed back to normal and he fell to the floor, whimpering in pain. Judy walked up to him and smiled.

"Remember who you are fighting for.." She said and slowly faded away.

.....

"J-Judy!"

Nick shot up, looking around. Growls and snarling was all he heard and he saw his fellow officers, on all fours, ripping the bunny in front of him to pieces.
The officers saw him and slowly crawled towards him, their eyes yellow. Some prey officers severely bitten and shooting tranquilizers at the predators.

"Wh-what is-" he was cut off when a tranquilizer hit him, and all the others. Just as the gaseous substance started disappearing.
Nick fell back into the position he was in before, landing in the warm and fresh blood from the bunny..

Bryson..

(Flash back over)

"Officer Wilde, do you hear me? Chief Bogo tried again.

Nick didn't hear him at all.

That's it, I have to speak..

With all his will power, Nick managed to say two words. "Wh-Where's Judy...?" He almost silently muttered out.

Yet still, he couldn't hear anything...and the officers were afraid of him because due to the gas, one of his eyes became a orangish yellow as the other stayed green. But then again, blood matted down his fur, he did no attacking...Yet he looks like the main suspect.

Nick stood up, this time the officers watched him carefully. He took out his note pad and pen before writing on it.

I can't hear you, chief

And he showed it to them. Chief Bogo facepalmed and wrote in his note pad.

Hopps is safe, what happened Wilde

I wish I could tell you but I don't even know myself

Chief Bogo nodded and had the medical team take Nick to get tested for his hearing and checked for wounds.

Well...he may be injured, but he does know one thing....

Bryson is dead...and that's all that matters

Kisses Of The Rain..

All that matters
