Judy found herself staring into the cage through the glass, watching with eyes full of sadness as Nick walked around. He was snarling, and his claws were extended. He turned to face Judy, and once again rushed towards her, ramming into the glass before retreating with whimpers of pain. She turned towards the door as she heard it open, and noticed the form of Chief Bogo approaching her.
The site of the ZDP chief, baring a saddened expression filled her small form with unrivaled fear, and she ran to meet him. She skidded to a stop infront of him, and looked up, her amethyst eyes full of hope, that instantly dissipated when Bogo shook his head with a saddened sigh.
"There's still no luck with finding an antidote..." Was all the cape buffalo could say, before he watched Judy begin to break down. "I'm so sorry" He added, his voice tainted with the sympathy he wanted to portray, before leaving back through the door he entered. Judy sniffled her cries away, and wiped the forming tears from her eyes as she returned to the outside of Nick's pen, looking in on him as he prowled across the space inside it, constantly trying to find a way to escape. She stood firm as she locked eyes with him, but now all his emotions were hidden behind the bloodlust.
Nick held his ground, ceasing in movement as he locked eyes with the prey outside his prison, seeing them full of emotions he never even knew existed: Sorrow, pity, sadness, hope and even... love? He snarled as he noticed her gaze fall, and took this oppurtunity to rush towards her, but he was again repelled by the unseen barrier that stood between them. He yelped as pain flooded his body again, which was soon followed by the faint scent of blood. He brushed the fur on his head, trying to locate the source of the blood, and hissed painfully when his claws brushed against the cut on his skull. He looked again towards the unseeable barrier, and noticed that a marking had now appeared on it. Good, so the barrier wasn't unbreakable..
His stomach rumbled, only furthering his need to feast on the prey that stood opposite him. He rushed again towards the barrier, ramming into it with all his might. The sudden impact caused him to leap backwards almost instantly after making contact. He stifled his yelp and hid his pain from the prey, but he watched the females reaction to him. A smile began to slowly form as he noticed this prey appeared concerned for him everytime he hurt himself, but the prey didn't appear to notice said smile. Wth this newfound knowledge he began to devise a cunning plan to capture his food. He moved closer to the back of the cell, before charging with all the speed he could muster towards the barrier, which - upon impact - deflected much of the force of the impact, causing Nick to fall backwards with a loud cry of pain. The sly fox got to his feet, before purposefully limping behind the bushes inside his pen. He watched through a gap as the lapin opened up his cell, before hesitantly making her way around to him. He slunk back into the thick brush, submerging his crimson fur from her view as she came around the corner in which he had retreated by. Once her back was turned towards him, he struck - leaping from the brush and swiping at her, to which she elegantly avoided. Nick wasted no time, swinging his paw towards her and catching her off guard.
Judy fell to the floor, and without delay began backing away from the feral fox who attacked her. She saw him closing the distance easily, and her eyes widened in fear when she felt herself be trapped beneath the walls of the cell and the feral fox.
"Nick... Please don't" she begged him, but her words had no effect.
Without delay, Nick pushed his paw against her chest, pinning her in place. With a visious snarl, he opened his mouth sunk his teeth into her throat and neck...
"Ahhhhh!" Judy awoke with a scream, alerting Clawhauser in the process.
"Judy?" Clawhauser asked her after recovering from his startled condition.
"I'm...I'm fine... J-j-just a bad dream" she calmed herself, before she looked towards Clawhauser, who seemed very on edge, and upset. "What's wrong?"
With a sigh Clawhauser began to speak, his words bearing a tone of pity and sorrow. "The doctors are still nowhere near to finding an antidote to the Night Howler serum"
Before Judy could respond, Clawhauser's mic went off, and he was called away. With a wave of goodbye, he departed from Judy's side as he went to his new assignment. She fell back against the pillow on the hospitle bed, before lifting up the sheets to look at the condition of her injured leg. She let out an annoyed grumble as she noticed it was wrapped in many bandages, and she knew she would be forced to retire from the ZDP until it had fully healed. She sighed, dropping the sheets before staring blankly at the ceiling, then averting her gaze to her phone on the side of the bed. She decided that, with nothing else to do she would check her messages. She noticed that she had three new messages, one of which was from Finnick; while the other two were just her parents asking whether she was ok - the text from Finnick appeared to be more concerned about Nick Wilde - not that she could blame him.
She responded to each of the messages, before placing her phone back on the side with a displeased sigh... She had a very strong feeling she would be stuck in this bed for a few days, before she could even walk with support. With nothing else to do, she lay back against the pillow and closed her eyes, going back to sleep.
