Chapter 7
Judy awoke, feeling light headed. She had become unconscious from blood loss. She felt the pain in her left side where the claws had been. Her captor still hadn't come back.
Need to figure a way out, she thought. She hated the idea she'd eventually came up with. She rested her head on the back of the chair and closed her eyes. Please let this work.
After a few minutes, her captor came back, carrying a knife. "Okay! Now it's your turn!" Judy didn't know what he meant by that, but she smiled. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm so glad you're back! I was getting scared in here," she half lied. He looked at her.
"Is this some kind of joke?" She shook her head.
"Oh no, not at all. I think you're really, really hot. Much hotter than that dumb fox." She giggled. "Now give me a kiss big guy." Her captor smiled and set the knife down on the table.
"I'm not an idiot. You don't really think I'm hot, you just want me to trust you, so you can escape. Classic desperation move." She frowned.
"I guess you don't feel the same way." She let a fake tear roll down her cheek, hoping he was buying the act. He smiled.
"Hey, it's okay. I do think you're hot, and it was really hard doing all that stuff to you." He bent down and put his paw under her chin, lifting her into a kiss. She closed her eyes and pretended she was kissing Nick. The wolf grabbed her face and pulled her into a more intense kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth. She felt sick, but she knew this is what had to be done. She pulled back after a few seconds.
"I don't expect you to cut me loose, but if you don't, we can't do anything else, if you know what I mean." She winked. The wolf had a look of excitement in his eyes, and he picked up the knife from the table. He started cutting the rope around her.
That's it. There you go. Keep cutting, you lunatic.
When she was finally free, she leaped up and threw herself into his arms. He hugged her, dropping the knife to the floor with a clang, and they kissed passionately. Judy was being a really good actor, and it felt as if she was really into it. The make out session moved to the cold concrete floor, and the wolf was on top of her, licking her neck and kissing her between licks. She was nervous at what he would do, but eventually he said with lust in his eyes; "Let's move this to the upstairs bedroom." She smiled coldly.
"I don't think so."
She quickly grabbed the knife from the floor and stabbed him in the arm multiple times, the wolf howling with pain, blood spurting to the floor next to him. She slashed him across the face, and blood sprayed across her own. He screamed and she kicked his chest. She was surprisingly strong for a bunny, and he flew off her and landed on his back. She got up and ran for the door, still holding the knife, but her captor was on her, clawing her back. She screamed and writhed from his grasp, stabbing him in the side. He let go, just long enough for her to open the door and run through it.
She bolted up the wooden stairs of the home, grabbing a gun off the kitchen table. She was glad he had more than one, and she rushed through the front door, into the night.
Her kidnapper lay in a pool of blood, screaming in anger, and breathing rapidly. He knew how to heal his wounds, so he dragged himself through the door. It was the worst pain he'd ever felt in his life, and as he crawled up the wooden stairs, he vowed to kill the bunny, and all whom she loved.
She fucking tricked me! That damn bunny tricked me! Well, two can play at this game, Hopps. Say goodbye to that lovely fox of yours, and the wolf. And when I'm done with them, I'll cut your fucking head off myself! I don't care what it takes, I'll find you and make you wish you'd never escaped. I don't know what the hell you were thinking, but if you thought you could hurt me and escape alive, you have another thing coming. Better sleep with one eye open, because I'm coming for you, fox.

Nick and I sat in the police station, thinking about the results of the test. Nick sat up from his slumped position on a chair.
"I can't believe that the dart was fired from the same species of wolf as you," he said, "Which has me thinking. It can't be a coincidence that her captor is the exact same as you. Were you lying to me the whole time?" He looked at me, his eyes filled with hope that it I was telling the truth. I shook my head.
"I'd never lie to you, or her. Especially not about something like this." He sat back in his chair again. "But hey, isn't it great that we have something to work off of?" He nodded and gave me a small smile.
"Looks like we will have to keep a look out for wolves like you. Oh! I see one!" He pointed to me and had a dramatic look on his face. I laughed and played along. "Rawr, I'm going to eat you!" Nick's smile dropped.
"Rawr? I don't think wolves make that noise." I growled at him.
"Better?"
"Yes."
We laughed and continued to play around with each other. One thought kept going through my mind as we did.
I wish we could do this more often.
Had I gone soft for him? Did I look at him in a different way than I'd used to? Did he feel the same way? I stopped asking myself questions and thought about Nick again.
Oh, Nick. I know you joke and play around like you usually do, but deep down, I know you are terrified that something happened to Judy. I swear to protect you both. When the situation gets dire, I promise with all my might that I won't let anything happen to you. You're safe with me.
