After calming Judy down they were both sitting on Nick's bed, his room was still a mess. While her mind was still racing, Judy looked around the room and noticed the various claw marks in the walls. "Nick, what happened to your apartment? This place looks like a mob went through it."

"Well to explain that i'm gonna have to tell you how I was able to take down that guy who attacked us first" he began. Judy was looking at him attentively. "To put it simply Judy, I am a werefox." he said which caused Judy to gasp.

"But how, and when did you become one!? Why haven't you told me or anyone else yet!?"

She looked concerned, and still very very scared.

"All i've been able to find out so far is that it's a curse that started long ago when a selfish prince cast out an old lady from his castle, and in return she put the curse on him. It caused him to go crazy and grow into a monster double his size. He attacked the local village and they killed him in return, but not without transferring the curse to some of the locals. And so it kept getting passed from mammal to mammal for centuries. Now I am one of its victims."

Judy was still captivated by his story and was looking at him expecting more.

"The reason no one knows is the same reason I think you have, people would think we're crazy or be scared of us. Part of the reason I look so calm all the time is because I can get angry and the curse will manifest in some way. But I can never escape its physical effects when a fool moon is out, I can barely control myself from lashing out at people or attacking anyone. That's why I had to ditch you too." He was choking up and crying some at this point.

"Nick, I… I'm so sorry you've been going through this. You can stop there if you want, there is no need to tell me the rest."

"No….. I haven't been able to ever talk to anyone about this yet and you of all people should know the whole story. It all started when I was in the rain forest district, walking through a shortcut to get to my hotel, when suddenly I was attacked…"

10 years earlier

Nick was struggling to keep the creature off of fim. Now that it was right over the fox, he could tell it was a black panther, but something was wrong with it. He was larger than he'd ever seen one before. It was attacking and swatting at him ferociously with no remorse. Lastly were its eyes, a glowing yellow color that projected bloodlust. Nick had a good grip on both of his fore arms, but beast would soon overpower him. "Get off me you freak!" he shouted, but the panther still attacked with overpowering strength.

If Nick wanted to live, he had to think fast. He started looking around and saw his only hope, and just as the panther pulled one of his claws back Nick grabbed a brick and slammed it right into the monsters left cheek. This staggered it and NIck was able to slip out and get up. The panther looked back at him, finally recovered from the attack, and lunged again. This lunge ended with another brick to the face but Nick still got a deep cut into his right side.

The panther got up once more, growled ferociously at Nick, and then ran away into the night. Leaving a very confused and very injured fox. Without much choice and being to pore to afford a hospital, he made his way to a drug store in which a very scared and confused otter sold him a pre- assembled medical kit.

After barely making it back to his apartment, he bandaged himself up after learning how from many a bar fights and went to sleep.

Back to the present

"And it was since then I started changing into a werefox, but so far i've been able to semi-control myself." Nick's eyes were now full of tears as he looked down at Judy who was hugging him with her face buried into his left side.

"I'm… so… sorry Nick" she said inbetween sobs.

"It's okay my emotional bunny" he said, his voice semi-clear. "It's been hard but i've been handling myself."

"I'm more worried about you, like don't vampires need blood to survive, and how can you go into the sun?"

Judy calmed down and even smiled a bit, "The sunlight thing is only in movies. As for blood yes we do need it but i've been able to keep from drinking any so far. I refuse to turn another mammal into what i've become." She said coldly, a few more tears started dripping down her face.

"It's gonna be okay Judy." he said trying to console her. "So is this why you've had a more, carnivorous, appetite lately? Nick questioned.

"Yes but I can feel that it's not enough, I can feel myself losing an internal battle a little more every day, and i'm terrified of what could happen when I finally do." She shuddered at the thought.

"Drink mine" Nick said plainly. Like it was the most normal thing in the world. "If it's getting that bad then just go ahead and drink my own blood."

"Bu- but Nick, I can't do that to you, you're already dealing with your own curse." she said with shock in her voice.

"Don't worry carrots, while I was reading I remember the book saying that the curses are unable to affect two people at the same time. This is what you need so go ahead." he stated while pulling down his collar and exposing his neck.

"Ni… Nick, I I don't know what to say, but thank you for letting me." She hugged him for a second. "Now uh, hold on this might sting." She then bit cautiously into his neck drinking some of his blood. Nick whimpered a little as she pulled them out again. "I'm so sorry that hurt you Nick" Judy said with sadness in her voice.

"No no, i'm fine it just feels weird is all. You don't have to get all worked up over me" he then flashed his iconic smile. Judys eyes now glowed dark red again after finally being able to eat, but they looked sad and quite tired.

"I just, I just wish all this was some bad dream and I am going to wake up from it any second now and things could just be normal again." she said while all the sadness she had left came out.

"Shhhhhh, it's going to be alright. I'm gonna keep you safe carrots." he then held her on his lap with his arms around her small form. They sat like this until both of them nodded off into sleep.
