Choices in the Pit.
Hey everyone so this story technically isn't mine…. But not in that way!
My friend Ash wrote this story about a year ago ad never got the balls to post it so, he asked me to do so, so here I am, I'll be posting his chapter once a week, probably on Wednesdays.
"C'mon Nick! We need to get this evidence to chief Bogo!" Judy yelled ahead of Nick.
Nick couldn't really hear Judy but he had a good idea of what she was saying, the explosion of the train was one of the loudest things he'd ever heard. He couldn't imagine what Judy had heard, having bunny hearing.
They darted up a pair of steps and into the main foyer of what Nick guessed to be the natural history museum.
Judy motioned towards the large glass front doors made for all kinds of mammals big and small.
Nick put on the gas and tried to catch up to Judy.
Just as Judy was about to round a large circular hole in the ground filled with fake foliage of all kinds, her hearing picked something up. It kind of sounded like her name.
"Judy! Judy!" Judy heard a light feminine voice call from behind her.
Nick and Judy turned to see a small, frail sheep with knobbly knees and a large tuft of wool on her head. There was two large rams behind her in police uniforms.
"Mayor Bellweather!" Judy Called, while going on a light jog towards the mayor.
"We found out what's happening," Judy explained while gaining distance towards bellwether. "Someone has been darting the predators with a serum, that's what's making them go savage" Judy explained to the sheep. Nick just slightly nodded his head behind her.
"I'm so proud of you Judy! You did just a super job!" The ewe said.
"Thank you ma'am" Judy said while huffing out ragged breaths.
Judy hesitated to hand bellwether the case though, How did she know where to find us we haven't told anyone where we are, Judy thought.
"How did you know where to find us?" Judy asked, her suspicions building about the ewe.
"I'll go ahead, and take that case now" Bellwether stated before making a grab for the case.
Judy took a couple steps back to Nick and held the case containing the deadly weapon close to her body.
"You know, I think Nick an I will take the evidence to the ZPD" Judy said with fake cheer in her voice. She started to take some steps backwards towards the entrance.
Both small mammals turned to run out the doors, only to find a rather big ram blocking their way. He savagely cracked his neck both ways before shooting them a hideous grin.
"Run" They both said in-sync.
They headed towards a side room covered in a curtain. Judy slipped under a barrier while Nick hopped over it and landed safely.
As Nick darted in front of Judy, she risked a look back only to feel something tough and sharp hit her leg. She hissed and fell over.
She looked down to find a tusk of some kind of elephant had cut into her leg and it hurt. Horribly.
She tried to move again and put pressure on her injured leg, only to collapse and let out a pained hiss and land on her ass.
Nick's ears flicked behind him hearing something. He turned to find Judy sitting on the ground holding her leg.
"Carrots!" Nick said quietly.
He picked her up under her arms and she grabbed the case before they ran behind a thick column which hid both their bodies.
Nick pulled out his red handkerchief only to find that the blueberries had smashed and created a small mess in his pocket and on one half on the handkerchief.
"Ugh" He tied it around Judy's leg trying not to get any of the blueberry on the wound.
He looked around desperately for an escape, a window or something.
"Nick, just go!" Judy said, "Take the evidence to Bogo!"
"No. I'm not leaving you" Nick replied, Judy felt her insides flutter at his response, even in their current situation.
Nick and Judy heard Bellweathers voice echo around the large room. Nick spotted a prehistoric rabbit wielding a crude looking spear outwards. The cogs and gears were turning in his head.
Ten seconds later, and his idea had fully formed, they needed to try to get Bellweather and her goons in one area while they ditched them behind.
"Judy" Nick whispered, "I need you to get ready to run in about fifteen seconds" Judy nodded her affirmative and propped herself up on leg.
Nick positioned the prehistoric lapine and picked Judy up against his side. His heart was beating through his chest and he could feel sweat trickling down his raised hackles. As soon as Nick heard movement behind him he took off.
Adrenaline was coursing through Judy's system, she couldn't even feel the injury on her leg any more. She tried not to slow Nick down too much, she struck her good foot down and started to kick along.
They were going good, great even. Until Nick's foot slid slightly and they hit a rack of, who knows what. But it was very loud. Even Judy winced at the sound instantly knowing it would give them away.
"Stop them!" Judy Heard Bellweather screech behind them.
Nick wasn't exactly the healthiest person on the block but he certainly wasn't the slowest. He darted under a barrier and looked ahead, the exit was right there! As soon as they got out they could get help from some mammals and finally solve this case!
Just as everything was looking up, Judy slipped from Nick's grip, but not entirely. He slowed to lift her back up so he could keep on running, then-
CRACK!
Nick screamed as he was lifted from the ground and thrown into the air, only to land about twenty feet back into a massive hole in the ground.
As he landed all he could feel was the massive pulsing pain in his shoulder, it was like he had got hit by a truck driven by a mammal Finnick's size.
He looked up to see Judy hovering over him with a worried expression, "Nick, Nick! Are you ok?"
"Owww, Yeah I think, I just busted my shoulder badly" Nick said.
"Ok, Goo-" Judy's face contorted into a wired one.
"Judy?" Nick sat up and waved his arm in front of her face.
"Judy? Judy, can you hear me."
Nick was wondering what was happening, when he went to pat the case next to him, only to find that said case wasn't next to him.
"What?" Nick said to himself, he looked up at the ledge of the pit to find Bellweather's arm extended with the same pistol Doug had, the one with the Night howlers loaded in the barrel.
Nick heard a savage growl next to him, he looked over to Judy, a relatively cute bunny making some of the most guttural and primal growling he'd ever heard.
He backed away and yipped when he put pressure on his bad shoulder, the sound echoed off the walls of the enclosure, Nick cringed at the sound that Judy surely would've heard.
Judy craned her Neck over to Nick, and he saw her eyes dilated into savage slits.
