Disclaimer: I don't own anything however, if the makers of zootopia really do have a problem with this story please consider, I had to watch this movie three bloody times (with two friends) at the theater to get the quotes right, if I hadn't been writing this I would have watched it once and lived happily after. This was a one-shot style but I cut it into three parts because it was a bit confusing for some.

And a message to the readers, whether you leave a review or not, thank you for reading my story! Not to say reviews aren't important... but it really means something to me that my story is read by others and so possibly enjoyed? Am I taking to much of a leap there...

Chapter 1 Dark Vision

They hit the hard ground floor of the enclosed space with a hard crash. Nick had softened the blow slightly when she had bounced off him but the landing had still stung. Hops could feel her heart pounding in her chest and she could only hope the plan would fall into place, it was too late to second guess the plan now anyway.

A voice from above them made them jump to awareness and glare up from the makeshift cage. "Bunny you should have just stayed at the carrot barn. I really did like you." Said the sheep from above them, she came into view looking like a criminal mastermind in Judy's eyes. How she had ever thought this sheep was innocent was beyond her.

"Carrots," Nick said anxiously taking Judy's hand to gain her attention.

"Stop calling me that!" She mumbled, her attention still on the sheep.

"Judy," He said, using her name gained her attention if only for a fraction of a second then her gaze went back to the sheep. Though she looked back up at the sheep she listened to what he had to say, already having guessed his news by the way he was acting. "I didn't switch the serum; it fell out of my hands before I could." The fox whispered. Their eyes met and there was no way to see who was more scared, her of his reaction when he had the serum or his fear of actually hurting her.

"Are you listening?" Demanded the sheep. Like she had thought earlier, there was no going back now.

"What are you going to do? Kill me?" The bunny demanded trying to sound brave.

The sheep laughed, "No, no, no! of course not! He is." She shot Nick with a tranquilizer gun she had hidden behind her suitcase.

Judy yelled out, covering her mouth in shock. "Oh Nick!" Judy cried.

The sheep shot Nick right in the throat with the dart gun. Judy rushed to his side as fast as her hurt leg allowed her but he pushed her away. "Run." He yelled as he ran to the opposite side of the terrarium. She stood in shock until she saw him hit the wall, still running full-tilt against the wall, he bounced back and landed in the dirt and curled into a fetal position as though he were in pain but she knew better then to approach him.

The bunny could tell the moment the affects began, he lay curled up in a fetal position fighting against it until slowly he uncurled and began growling. Somewhere in the background she could hear that sheep-lady calling the police.

"Nick, fight it." She begged searching for a place to hide or at least buy her time.

"Well he can't fight it can he? Since predators are pre-exposed to be savage…" the sheep said, she continued talking but Officer Hops ignored her and focused on her friend who seemed to be suffering and fighting with himself against the wall furthest from her.

It was a low growl at first but by the time he had turned to face her, he was loud enough to inspire fear even to those above them. Everyone backed away uncertain, where they high enough?

Bunny ran through the long grass, slowed by her leg but determined to escape long enough for help to arrive.

The sheep was talking about headlines in tomorrows paper. The bunny threw a false deer at the rabid fox. He began to shred it giving her time to escape to the furthest wall right below the sheep.

"So that's your great plan? Keep the people living in fear?" Demanded Officer Hops. He was making too much of a distraction for her to have heard the sheep's reply but she wasn't going to die unanswered.

"So that's it? Prey fears predator and you stay in power?" She demanded. "It won't work." Her paws slipped on the carrot pen a few times but she managed to hear the almost inaudible 'click' just before the sheep began to speak again. Her whole body was shaking in fear.

"Fear always works." Said the sheep. "And I will dart every predator in Zootopia to make sure it stays that way." The sheep said smugly. The three rams she used as body guards seemed to have no problem with this and one of them even nodded enthusiastically.

The fox was finished with the stuffed deer and began approaching her again, his back arched and his face hostile. Just before he lunged she heard the sheep say something she regretted might be the last words she would ever hear.

"Buh-bye bunny." The sheep said with a laugh.

And then the fox lunged at her, her friend Nick who she had just met but felt so close to was no where to be seen this thing was all that remained.

The ferocious fox soared forward and sank his teeth into her already wounded leg, she screamed hysterically and slapped his head until he was forced into further action. He flung her by her leg away from the wall and she hit the ground hard many feet away. Before she could get back up he was on her again, biting her side and shaking his head furiously as if to tear her in half. She screamed and punched him repeatedly in the head but she still didn't want to actually harm him and this gave him even more of an advantage. Soon she found she couldn't breath, every bit off breath she squeezed out of her could not be replaced, the pressure was just to strong.

His head shook her full body back and forth, she wasn't even touching the ground anymore, she was just suspended in the air by his teeth and with each jostle and each swing of his head the teeth went deeper and caused more damage.

She couldn't breath, his mouth was clamped so hard that breathing was made impossible and it felt like she was both being torn in half and being squashed like a bug, a bug with sharp bones.

Her one free arm smacked his head repeatedly as her mind began to grow fuzzy. She was wearing her mother's pants, her mother would kill her for getting them destroyed... wait, her mother usually carried a key chain version of fox-spray! She forced her hand into her pocket, there it was, that or sunscreen spray...

She hesitated a moment, this stuff was strong enough to actually cause serious harm, it might even blind him for a few days. No, she had to do it, she couldn't take anymore, she pulled out what could have been the Fox-spray and sprayed it right in his face. He released her and howled in agony, scratching at his face and scratching out to catch her. As he rolled around near her on the ground she tried to move out of his way, he was writhing. In one swipe he threw her onto her back but the scratch was pathetically minor compared to her other injuries.

This broke the spell for a moment, he stepped back a few paces, panting. His claws became paws again as he wiped his mouth of her blood and his own saliva.

"Nick?" she asked carefully. He began to growl again and she backed away, crawling on the ground backwards to get away but she could tell, there was a difference in him now. The growling ebbed and became almost whimpers as he fought to clear his eyes.

"You snapped out of it!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"It doesn't matter, I framed Lionheart I can frame you to. It'd be my word against yours." Cried the sheep getting over her shock.

"No…" Said Bunny, "It'd be your word against yours." She played the tape and the sheep's own words played back to her.

The sheep seemed for once, at a loss for words. Her mouth gaped open and she dropped the suitcase to the floor even one of her bodyguards went to come forward but checked himself.

"Judy..." Nick said, using her name for once. She was laying near where she had fallen, she hadn't even tried to get up, she knew what she had to do was stop the bleeding and wait for the paramedics.

"Nick." She said, he was sitting away from her with his back to her she could barely make him out. "Nick please, I need your help." She couldn't stop the bleeding in both her leg and her chest because to reach her leg she would have to move and reopen the chest wound which was not bleeding nearly as bad as she knew it probably could be but her leg, she didn't know how bad it was.

Her eyes were squeezed shut as she tried to fight the pain and stop the bleeding, applying pressure to what felt like the deepest part of her chest wound. She felt his warm paws clamp over hers and flinched as he applied more pressure then she had been able to do. The warmth of his paws made her realize just how cold she was and she began to shake, not in fear but because she was just so cold, she knew she was probably in shock but the calm of shock had yet to take effect.

"What do you need me to do?" He asked gently.

"Just... Pressure... Leg." The world was swimming, she had always thought that was just a term people used but it really felt like her body was a boat on a stormy sea blowing about in the winds and spinning in a great cycle. She focused and the world began to grow clearer once more but she knew she didn't have time. She was about to give him instructions to stop the bleeding in her leg but the sheep chose that moment to speak up.

"The carrot pen for her life." Demanded the sheep, assessing the situation. The fox went to move but the bunny stopped him, fear on her face worse then moments ago when he had told her that he hadn't managed to swap the darts. She took his face in both of her hands, the carrot pen in one hand and the other hand empty, both were coloured red but she didn't care, she needed him to listen because she knew he wouldn't as her eyes began to focus on his face she saw the damage to his eyes, it was extensive and made her want to cry, she hadn't meant to harm him she just wanted to survive. She tried to focus, she had to tell him, above all else, he needed to know.

"She'll just shoot you again and make you kill me or kill me later when you are in prison and can't help me." She could see his face torn with the decision. His face was getting so dark, everything seemed to no longer matter and her head felt both comfortable to sink into and cold. She struggled to sit up and pulled his face close, "Don't do it."

Then she let go, she had done all that she could. The dark swallowed her whole and gave her no chance to second guess giving into it.

"Hops? Judy!" Nick called but he faded away into nothing or more like, she faded away into nothing.
