"Cold, it's so cold..."

"M-Must find help."

"No-one will help me.

"Home? Where's home?"

"No... No home."

"I'm alone."

"Alone with myself."

"A-Am I a monster?"

"Oh god I feel it under my skin."

"I feel it burrowing inside my head."

"It hurts... It itches."

"So hungry... So thirsty."

"I-I need food, I need water."

...

"Hello."

"W-Who are you!?"

"No-one but your only friend"

"F-Friend?"

"Yes, a friend, who wishes to not see you digging through a dumpster."

"Strange mammals hurt me... They did something to me."

"It's okay, come with me and we'll finally prove they are guilty."

"C-Come with you?"

"Yes, come with me."

"Okay, wait no... You're gonna hurt me."

"You're gonna put me away because of what I am, aren't you?"

"You're dangerous, you need help."

"No... No, I need to hide. Goodbye."

"Don't you dare run!"

"Weapons don't solve problems, you won't take me, I won't let them use me for their dirty deeds!"

"Goddammit! Get back here!"

"Stay away from me! I'm not a weapon!"

"I'm not a monster."

-City of Zootopia-

-Central City Night Patrol -

-10:37 PM-

-Nick & Judy-

Nick and Judy were out patrolling the streets; it was late at night, there was a slight downpour. Nick was sitting in the passager seat, drinking from a hot cup of coffee, while Judy was driving being vigilant.

"Please explain to me again why you wanted to take night shift? Nick said, as he took small sips from a cup of coffee. Nick was wearing his blue issued police uniform.

"Ugh, I told you already!" Judy yelled in fustration, who was wearing the same uniform as Nick.

"I forgot." Nick chuckled, taking another sip of his delectable cup of coffee.

"Nick for the sixteenth time, we're investigating reports of strange behavior coming an unidentified individual." Judy said.

"I say we have a savage mammal on our paws." Nick replied.

"Don't say that, we haven't had a savage mammal case since the Night Howler accident two months ago." Judy said, throwing a quick punch at Nick's shoulder.

"Hey, watch the road." Nick scowled.

"Just keep a look out, we aren't here to goof around." Judy sighed.

"C'mon Carrots, you gotta have a little fun." Nick smirked.

Judy scoffed "Not while we're on patrol, and especially not while I'm driving."

Nick rolled his eyes. "What a party-pooper." Nick whispered to himself, taking a long sip from his warm coffee.

"Look, I know you're your bored and exhausted, but we have a job to do." Judy said glancing over to Nick.

"Whatever you say, Carrots." Nick replied.

Nick looked out his window, and watched as the raindrops slid down his window, occasionally conjoining together to form one big droplet.

Nick enjoyed the rain; it somehow helped him feel a little more relaxed. Nick continued watching the little droplets slide down the window, until the cruiser passed an alleyway. Nick saw a figure continuously punching a brick wall, before the cruiser passed it.

Nick widened his eyes and quickly turned over to Judy, "Stop the car!" He yelled.

Judy stepped on the brakes; the sound of cruisers tires screeching filled the inside of the car, as it came to a complete halt. "What!?" Judy asked.

"I saw something in that alleyway just behind us." Nick replied.

Without any hesitation, Judy shifted the cruiser into reverse and reversed, until Nick yelled, "Stop!"

Nick and Judy stared into the yellow lit alleyway. "Haha, good one Nick." Judy said, as she stared into the empty alleyway.

"B-But I swear, I saw someone." Nick stuttered, dumbfounded by the unknown mammal's quick disappearance.

"Nick, this isn't the time to be joking around." Judy sighed, shifting the cruiser back into drive.

Nick continued staring into the alleyway, dazed but shook his head from his trance, and quickly exited the vehicle before Judy could continue on.

"What are you doing Nick!?" Judy yelled, as Nick jogged over to where he last saw the mammal.

"Showing you I wasn't lying." Nick replied.

Judy turned on the cruisers lights, and hazards, before exiting it with a grunt.

"This better be good!" She yelled, slamming the driver side door, "I'm freezing my tail off in this rain.

"That's why you should've packed our jackets, now come take a look at this." Nick replied as he stared at the brick wall, that belonged to an apartment complex.

"I swear Nick, if you're lying it's over betwe... Oh my god." Judy covered her mouth in shock. There, written in fresh crimson blood, were the words, "Im not a monster."

"Who did this?" Judy said aloud.

"Must've been that mammal I saw." Nick replied, causing Judy to snap her head towards him.

"Did you get a physical description?" Judy asked, grabbing Nick by the shirt.

"No, it was too dark and blurry for me get any physical descriptions from the cruiser." Nick replied.

Judy swore under her breath, but perked her ears as she heard a bottle shatter. She saw a dark figure running down the alleyway wearing a black hoodie with the hood over his head, "After that mammal!" Judy yelled, running after the fleeing mammal.

Nick didn't hesitate and quickly chased after the unknown mammal as well.

Raindrops splashed against their faces, as the light rain turned into a heavy downpour. "ZPD! Stop running!" Judy yelled, as she tirelessly chased after the mammal.

"Stay away from me!" The mammal yelled in a male voice, as he looked around frantically for an escape route.

Judy, slowly but surely, started to catch up with the mammal, the mammal looked back only to see Judy nearing him.

The mammal began turning over trashcans to hopefully slow her down, but her training said otherwise.

Fortunately, there was a garbage truck reversing into the alleyway, effectively blocking it off.

"There's no escape!" Judy yelled after noticing the now blocked exit.

The mammal appeared to be readying himself for a jump, which confused Nick. "Is he really gonna try and jump that truck?" Nick said.

"Like he'll ever make it." Judy replied.

Just as the mammal jumped into the air, Judy leaped for his legs; grasping them.

Nick watched as the mammal jumped onto the truck's roof without a hitch, leaving a purple trail behind him as he did so. "Judy!" Nick yelled, when he saw her grasping onto the mammal's pants tightly.

Judy was flabbergasted by the mammals incredible leap, but she refocused on herself on apprehending the mammal.

Just as the mammal was gonna continue running, Judy tripped him, and leaped onto his back.

"You're under arrest!" Judy yelled, as reached for her handcuffs, before quickly cuffing the mammal's furry wrists behind his back.

Just as Judy was reading him his Miranda Rights, he rolled himself onto his back, knocking Judy off him.

"I'm won't let them take me, I'm sorry." The male mammal said, as he pulled on his cuffs, breaking them without a sweat.

Judy growled and reached for tranqulizer gun. "You're in real trouble now." She said, aiming the tranqulizer gun at the mammal.

The mammal stood up and faced Judy straight on, "You don't understand what's happening to me, you'll see me as a monster, you'll only hurt me!" The figure yelled.

"What are you talking about? We don't want to hurt you." Judy replied.

The figure reached for the hood over his head, and slowly pulled it off his head.

Judy saw the figures face, he was a light gray wolf pup, he appeared to be no older than 13 years old. The emotions on his face resembled that of sadness and fear, his eyes were a dark purple, but unlike her purple eyes, his eyes resembled somethings darker.

Judy continued staring into his sad eyes; to her the purple color of his eyes started to resemble that of the pedals of Night Howlers, yet she felt depressed.

"They're looking for me, they're gonna hurt me" The wolf cried.

"Who's looking for you? Who's they?" Judy questioned.

"I-I don't remember." The wolf replied, grasping his head.

"Well, what's your name?" Judy asked.

"N-Name? Name, name... My name is... No, I don't have much time, goodbye." The wolf said turning around.

Judy fired her tranqulizer gun, hitting the wolf on the neck.

The young wolf growled, and grasped his neck. Judy watched horrified as the wolf pulled out the dart, unaffected by it.

"You lied to me." The wolf growled, turning to face Judy. "You lied..."

Judy froze, as the wolf slowly approached her, baring his sharp carnivorous canines.

She watched as he began emitting a faint purplish flame around his entire body.

Judy walked back slowly, accidentally slipping backwards in fear.

Before the enraged wolf could do anything deadly, Nick between them, he held up a taser and switched it on, "Stay back you monster!" Nick yelled.

The wolf snarled at Nick, which only caused him to move closer to the wolf, "I said stay back!" Nick yelled once more, swinging the taser at the wolf.

The wolf stopped growling and slowly backed away, before turning around and running off into the crowded streets.

Nick sighed and turned off the taser, "Are you alright, Carrots?" Nick asked.

Judy didn't respond, she just sat there in thought. "Judy?" Nick said, kneeling down in front of her.

"He's depressed, he's alone isolated from the world within his own mind." Judy said, causing Nick to tilt his head.

"What are you talking about?" Nick asked.

Judy looked up at Nick and grabbed him by the collar, we need to go report this to HQ ASAP!" Judy said, standing up and hoping off the truck.

"Judy hold up!" Nick yelled, as Judy sped off towards their cruiser.

"What the hell where you cops doing on my truck!?" A pig asked, obviously outraged.

"Nothing Sir, sorry for the causing you trouble!" Nick replied chasing after Judy.

The pig just shrugged it off and continued to pick up any trash bins.

Nick saw Judy hopping into the police cruiser, "Hurry up Nick!" She yelled closing her door.

Nick quickly hopped into the passager side and quickly closed the door, so the rain would wet the inside.

"What's your problem Judy?" Nick questioned.

"I'll tell you later, we gotta head to HQ." She said, placing the cruiser's ignition key into the ignition.

"No we're not," Nick said pulling the key out of the ignition, "you're gonna tell what's going on." Nick said, placing the key into his pocket.

Judy sighed and started to weeping. "I could feel his emotions Nick, I felt depressed, I felt like I had just witnessed the murder of my parents and siblings, I felt alone." Judy jumped into Nicks arms and weeped into his clothed chest.

"He was so young Nick, he's in deep pain, someone did something to him, and I'm the only one who can save him." Judy cried.

Nick didn't respond, he just held her in his arms, gently rubbing her head.

"We need to save him Nick." Judy said, looking at Nick.

Nick looked down at her and smiled, "We will." Nick replied, which caused Judy to smile in return.

"And we won't stop until we end his suffering."
