Chapter Twenty-Four: The Savage

       The bunny walked through the doors of the school. He didn't feel like going today. His whole body was sore and his head kept slightly spinning. Ugh, why did they still make me go!? Oh right, you need to love someone to care about them. Jack went to his locker and opened the lock. He got his stuff and was about to go to his class until he felt someone grab his ears and smash his head against another locker. The rabbit screamed and fell to the ground as his head hit the cold, hard locker. He heard laughing and turned around. He instantly recognized who that was. Leo. Leo was a jock coyote and a total jerk to anyone who came across him. Especially Jack. Jack was the only kid around that wasn't afraid of him and wasn't acting like his servant. That was why he was always the one getting the worst out of him. "Leo! Why would you do that!? I know you hate me but if you killed me the charges would've been on YOU! Maybe next time you pick on someone, use your common sense and THINK before you do something.", he said as he got up and brushed himself off. His head was hurting even more now, but Jack was used to this physical abuse. His brothers and mother had done worse. And now his father started doing the same thing. What the bullies did was nothing compared to that. Still, it didn't help. The rabbit was about to walk away as if nothing happened, but he felt someone grab his collar. One of Leo's "friends" pulled him back as Jack lost his balance and fell. "Where do you think you're going, wimp? I'm not done with you yet. And before you lecture someone about common sense, maybe you should see the authority their parents have!", Leo said. The only reason this brat wouldn't get in trouble was that he was spoiled rich. His dad was a very successful business mammal so pressing any charges against him or his son would be impossible. "Listen, I want nothing to do with you. Just leave me alone!", Jack yelled. "Are you yelling at ME!? Hey, guys look! The little rabbit's trying to take on a coyote! Your last name shouldn't be Snowpaw, it should be Savage! Cause that's what you are. A SAVAGE!", Leo yelled. It was common for them to say that. They always feared Jack for being like this and always called him a savage. They said he was wrong for being like this despite being a rabbit, so they tried getting under his fur by calling him something no one wants to be. The creatures everyone once was. Savages. "Just stop Leo! No one likes being treated this way! Just because I'm not afraid to use my voice doesn't mean I'm evil! YOU of all mammals shouldn't be calling others evil when you yourself are one.". "What did you just say!?". The coyote started pushing Jack. "Did you just call me evil!?". He cornered Jack against the lockers once again. "Yes, I did. The truth hurts, doesn't it? Well, get over it!", Jack said. He could see the anger in Leo's brown eyes. He was much larger than Jack despite Jack being one of the taller bunnies. "You really think that you can call me evil and I'll do nothing to you!?". Leo was screaming now. "No, I didn't. I'm just not afraid of the consequences you give off anymore.", Jack said. Immediately, the coyote cuffed his paws around Jack and started choking him. By this time, there was a crowd around them. A crowd of cowards that never did anything and never will do anything. Leo's gang held Jack's paws so that he couldn't fight back. They knew Jack was stronger than he looked, so they were holding him back. But Jack always knew to use what was free. Since he couldn't control the choke with his paws, he could break it with his legs. Jack quickly got his legs into position and kicked the coyote's stomach as hard as he could. He watched as Leo tumbled back in pain. The others let go of him and watched in fear. Jack would've gotten away, but his head was spinning more than ever. He got it smashed against the locker and already had a headache before that. It was hurting more than ever as he tried getting his balance back. His eyes were closed as he held he fell. He was in a lot of pain as he tried blinking while pulling on his ears to ease the pain. He knew it'd make things worse, but he didn't care. He saw Leo get up with his gang and kicked the rabbit back. Jack clutched his stomach at the pain. Another one kicked his back and another on jumped on his chest. Jack was screaming at what they were doing to them. Finally, one kicked his head and kicked it hard. It was Leo. Jack couldn't feel any more pain. It was too frequent. His vision blurred even more as his body got limp at all the other hits. The students did nothing. They all just watched. Finally, a teacher came, probably since there were no students after the bell rang. Jack touched the back of his head and felt something liquid. He looked at his paws and his blurry vision had him see fuzzy grey stuff with red smears on it. He realized that his head wasn't just hurt. It was bleeding. His breathing turned heavier than before and his eyes finally closed. The next time it opened, he was in a hospital. Well, life, you sure do like torturing me, don't you? I guess you don't want me to go yet. Well, even I'm not a quitter.
       
Jack stared up at the moon. "You really like giving me pain, don't you.", he aid to it. "I try to forget things, but you keep making me remember with my nightmares.", he sighed. "Why do you hate me?". Jack would always talk to the moon whenever he's worried or depressed. "I have no one to share things with, so I tell these things to you. To me, I'm talking to the light that brights up the night. The dark and miserable night was like my life. It's cruel, it's dangerous, and you never know which direction you were heading. Everything comes to you at surprise. If you're gonna treat me like this, too, then who am I supposed to go to? You know I didn't find my light yet. Then why are you doing this to me?". 
"I talk to the moon, too.", he heard a voice say. He knew it was Casey's. No one could match the softness and sensitivity you would feel from it. She got out of the small cave they were resting in for the night and sat next to him. "You know, you really shouldn't be up right now. Bunnies aren't nocturnal.", the vixen said. Jack smiled. "Well, neither are foxes.", he said back. "Good point.". There was a small silence as Jack mentally facepalmed himself. What are you doin!? Ugh, you're such an idiot! Jack would blurt out random things to Casey without knowing it. It just felt comforting to not be scared of someone. "So, what's keeping you up, Savage?", she said. Jack liked it when she called him that. Usually, he'd feel offended if anone else said that, but not Casey. He knew she meant it in a friendly way. Not a mean way. Not a proffessional way. Just a friendly way. He liked having someone call him Savage as a way to show they're friends. "Jack? Earth to Jack!", she was waving her paw in front of his face. "Uh sorry!", the bunny said snapping back into reality. "Train of thought always gets me.".
"Yup. It happens a lot to us daydreamers. But what happened? You were saying things about memories? Did you get a nightmare?", she asked. He could sense the fear in her voice and it sprung a weird feeling in him. A quiver ran up his spine as he felt her touch his paw. "JAck, you can tell me what's wrong. Don't worry. You can trust me.", she said. Her voice was like the soft touch of the wind. The night made the weather even colder than before, and yet, he couldn't feel any of it. The softness she showed to him made him feel special. He felt like he actually mattered to her. "Y-yeah. I kinda got a nightmare. A memory.", he said. "I get those all the time. They can really scare you", Casey said. "Yeah. This one came from middle school. I was 14 at the time and was about to go to class. But then, the "ruler" of the the school came. His name was Leo. He controlled everyone in the school just like his dad with the athority. He would bully everyone but he'd make mine even worse since I wasn't gonna deal with his stupid ego."
"What would he do?"
"Well, a lot of things. In my dream, I had to go to school with a headache and he slammed my head against the locker that exact day. He shoved me, pinned me, and he and his stupid gang of idiocy kicked me. It went to far when he kicked me in the head and I started bleeding. That's when the teachers finally came and took me to the hospital. I was obviously fine, but I was still hurt at the fact that no one would help me. Ever."
"Wait, there must have been other students around! They didn't do anything?", the vixen asked. Jack chuckled and answered her. "They're cowards, Casey. Cowards. They'd never dare to go against Leo.". "I know. No one helped me in my school either. They called me evil when the only one evil around was the bully.", she said. The rabbit shook his head. "No. That's where you're wrong. You see, everyone's evil. They all have an evil side to them. They all have a demon. But the thing is, some just decide to ignore it. Some decide to fight the demon and not be evil. But others. Others decide to let it take control. They decide to either live in fear and listen to it, or be the fear by listening to it. Those are the one's who are truely evil.". The jackrabbit said. He saw the awe in the vixne's face. "Well, I never really thought about it in that way.", she said. "Do you write poems?", she asked him. "What? Um yeah, why?". The vixen shrugged. "Usually anyone with the ability to think of life in a deeper way are poets or philosiphers. You'd find mammals saying that this guy's evil or that mammal's not good and things like that. But I never heard of anyone saying that everyone's evil. I never thought about it either. I just tried to move on from my problems. I never got a chance to think about things like this.", she said. And hen he understood. So, that's why you keep making me remember this. That's why you make me remember my worst memories all in my dreams. "I think I figured it out. Like you, mammals now just focus on moving on. I do, too. But we always remember these thoughts. It comes back to us like our shadow. It comes to in the form of nightmares. Some like to say that we don't need them and question themselves why they keep remembering it. But now I know, sometimes, we need to feel pain. We need to feel it to remind ourselves of our acomplishments. Life isn't punishing us, it's rewarding us. The pain is to show us how srong we are. Some may think that they're not strong, but if you're still going on in life, you are. It's to see who gets back up and who doesn't. And usually, the ones who decide to end it, forget that there are worse situations they could be in. They take their lives for granted and quit. I was able to move on by teling myself that I'm not a quitter. I kept going on. And to reward the brave souls who do the same, life gives us pain. Everything's here for a reason. Even pain.", Jack said. There was another silence as they both looked at the moon. "Casey, I have a question.".
"What is it?".
"Back when we got trapped, what did you mean when you told them you experienced this before?". Jack noticed her hesitating before finally saying the truth. "Back in India, when everyone found out about my savageness, the government thought I was dangerous and gave me a shock colar to wear. Anytime I'd feel anything, it'd shock me. I started to get used to it though so it doesn't have much effect on me. Back there, I was acting the pain. I really felt nothing.", Casey responded. Jack knew she most likely didn't want to talk about these things, so he tried to comfor her. "I kinda had something similar.", he said. "Really? What happened to you?", she questioned. "Well, my parents and brothers...they would abuse me.", he finally let out. This was something he had never told anyone before. Some things a few people knew, but this was one of those secrets that he never told anyone at all. That is, not until now.
"What!? What would they do!?". He sensed Casey getting tenser and even more worried. His stomach churned and his breathing increased. But after a while, he remained calm and answered her. "T-they would do a lot of things. My brothers would shove me, kick me, and step on me if I was on the floor. They'd pin me down and throw things at my stomach and step on my hands. My mom would constantly beat me with a bat. She'd even hit my head sometimes which caused my headaches. She went far enough to try to kill me and slit my wrists. And I guess dad wasn't happy enough to have me mentally hurt by is betrayal so he started hitting me, too. He'd take off my shirt, take a belt from the closet, and slash my back with it. It hurt at first. All of it did. But I got used to it and the only pain left were the scars.", he told her. Jack's voice was cracking as he tried to hold his tears back. He saw the vixen's face showing off complete horror and disbelief. He felt another chill go up his spine as he felt the vixen pull his shirt up a little. "What are you doing!?".
"Just let me see.". He saw her staring at the red lines on his grey fur. "T-these are huge! Jack, why didn't you tell anyone!? You could've been killed! They took it to the extreame level! Do you realize what was happening to you!?", she said. He sensed how concerned she was about him and felt even weirder and a little happy. Jack shrugged. "I don't know. I just guess I didn't feel like it. I was too done with life to ever tell anyone and actually wanted to die.", the rabbit's eyes started watering. "Every time someone would hurt me, I wished it would take me away. That'd I'd be done. But it just never happened.". He started crying as the vixen embraced him. This time, he didn't want to break the hug. He didn't care if he felt weird, he still felt good. He had someone that cared about him. "Only now, I finally get it.", he said, still in the hug. "I finally know the reason why I was alive, was to reward me and remind me of how strong I am. I just wish others would realize this, too, and stop treating pain as if it's bad.". 
"Well, you helped me realize. I now know that I wasn't a waste of time, I was special like evryone else. So...thank you. For helping me.", the vixen said. "Thank you.", Jack breathed out as he felt her warmth comfort her. He felt as if he had finally found what he was looking for. He felt like he finally found his moonlight. And thank you, moon. For giving me what I desired.
