FRIENDS FOREVER
"Urgh, where is this drama room?" Thorn grumbled and sighed to himself in both slight frustration and exhaustion as the blonde and white-furred red wolf looked left and right in search of the building that was meant to house the drama club.
"Why does this have to be so hard?" Thorn grumbled to himself as the red wolf made his way over to a nearby bench before the canine seated himself with a small whine.
'Guess I did get lost Miguno...I should have accepted the offer for you or Jack to show me the way.' Thorn thought to himself as the red wolf placed his muzzle into his paws with a small chuckle and a sigh before leaning his head back and looking up at the sky.
"Besides what's the point of even going to the club? Who's to say any of the members would want to even talk about Tem." Thorn muttered to himself in thought as the red wolf ears splayed back slightly.
"But I can't stop searching for evidence...not after seeing his face." Thorn sighed and clutched his paws in anger as his mind couldn't help but drift back to the picture of Tem the alpaca as well as the times he had almost lost control of himself.
"But...but I'm not cut out for this... Not for any of this." Thorn chuckled sadly to himself as the canine thought back to how he had nearly attacked Louis with the intent to kill and eat the deer right then and there.
"Hey...I erm...are you okay?" A slightly familiar timid and fearful voice brought Thon out of his thoughts to which the red wolf quickly looked up and around to find the owner of the voice only for his deep primal yellow eyes to settle upon a young male red deer with deep green eyes causing Thorn's fur to ruffle slightly at the sight.
"What...what are you doing here?" Thorn asked the red deer in a fearful and worried tone of voice as the red wolf's tail tensed along with his paws which didn't go unnoticed by the herbivore who took a small step back and away from Thorn.
"I...I just wanted to see if you were okay? You...you looked down." The red deer said to Thorn with a small gulp as his body began to lightly shake whilst Thorn gazed at the herbivore with his deep yellow eyes.
"Haven't I seen you before?" Thorn asked the fearful looking red deer in the calmest and most polite tone of voice he could muster although deep down the wolf could feel his instincts clawing and pulling at his body to attack.
"I...er yeah we've met once before... I...I think." The red deer said to Thorn nervously to which Thorn slowly nodded his head at the deer in recognition as he kept his paws clutched tightly holding back his urges and instincts as the deer's scent entered his cold black nose.
Thorn took a deep breath and closed his eyes before the red wolf smiled softly at the still slightly shaking herbivore before crossing his arms.
"Yeah, I remember you...didn't I scare you when I asked about where the dorm rooms where?" Thorn asked the red deer with a small chuckle as the canine's mind began to settle and ease slightly the more he talked to the deer.
"Y...Yeah sorry about that." The red deer chuckled at Thorn nervously as the herbivore used his right hoof to scratch at the back of his head whilst Thorn continued to smile with a small shrug of his shoulders.
"It's fine I mean I do kinda look scary especially with my scar," Thorn said to the red deer in an honest and understanding tone of voice to which the auburn brown-furred red deer shook his head before looking down at his shoes with a grunt.
"I APOLOGISE FOR BEING AFRAID OF YOU." The red deer yelled prompting Thorn to let out a small yelp of surprise as the herbivore quickly looked up at the red wolf with a determined expression plastered on his face.
"Please forgive me." The deer said to Thorn with a hopeful tone of voice to which Thorn blinked in surprise and confusion as he slowly nodded his head in answer.
'What's with this guy? He's nothing like the last time we met.' Thorn thought to himself in confusion only to shake his head quickly as his primal thoughts and urges briefly entered his mind again to which the canine quickly expelled before speaking.
"It's no big deal really." Thorn smiled and chuckled nervously at the red deer only for the herbivore to extend his right hoofed hand toward the canine with a nod.
"Then let's shake on it." The red deer said to Thorn with a small nervous yet still confident look on his face to which the red wolf slowly took the deer's hoofed hand into his right paw before shaking causing a smile to form on the deers face.
"I'm still surprised you haven't run away yet." Thorn chuckled at the red deer before purposely giving the herbivore a toothy smile that exposed the red wolf's sharp white teeth.
"If I'm being honest...so am I." The deer chuckled at Thorn nervously to which the red wolf couldn't help but nod his head and laugh briefly in agreement.
'Why are you laughing and conversing with a meal?' Thorn heard the familiar and dark voice of his instincts creep into his mind as the red wolf tried to let go of the deer's hoof only to find that his grip was tightening.
'Go away...leave me alone.' Thorn thought to himself in fear only for the voice in his head to respond with a dark and manic laugh as the red deer's face began to slowly turn to panic as he tried to pull away from the wolf's grasp.
'No. Not when you're in such a grand situation to finally be who you truly are. Not when you're this close to tasting the flesh of a herbivore. The flesh of a herbivore.' Thorn's primal side chuckled and growled in his mind whilst the red deer began to struggle in Thorn's Thorn's claws began to slowly dig into his hoof.
'Please...d..dont make me do this...I was doing so well...I...dont...do...want to eat him.' Thorn thought in both a primal and desperate manner as the blonde and white-furred canine shook his head from side to side only for his nose to inhale deeply as a scent flooded his mind.
"Please! L...let go your hurting me." The red deer tried to pull away from Thorn as the wolf's claws had dug into the deer's hoofed hand causing blood to drip down whilst Thorn began to growl and whine as his muzzle began to drip slowly with drool.
'You can smell it can't you? The blood. You're loving it! WERE LOVING IT!' The voice in Thorn's mind yelled as the red wolf opened his deep yellow eyes with a snarl whilst baring his fangs at the deer only for the canine to be pulled back with a heavy tug which caused the wolfs paw to let go of the herbivores now clawed and bleeding hoof.
"What's going on here!? Thorn what's wrong!?" The familiar yet panicked voice of Bill said to Thorn as the large orange furred and black-striped feline restrained the red wolf tightly as he began to struggle and writhe around in the tigers grasp in a savage and primal state.
"Alex are you okay!?" The worried yet authoritative voice of Louis called out to the shaking red deer that Thorn's deep yellow eyes were still fixated on before the larger red deer quickly rushed over and began to inspect the smaller herbivores hoof.
"W...what have I done?...I'm...I'm a monster," Thorn muttered to himself in between pants and whines whilst the wolfs body shook in shock and sadness before the blonde and white-furred canine raised his head skyward and let out a long and anguished howl as Bill's restraint slowly turned into more of a reassuring and close embrace.
'Im.. done...I...I don't want to be a monster anymore...'
"Well let's see. You want roses? Clearly, we've got plenty so look around." The small white-furred dwarf rabbit said to the tall nervous-looking looking grey wolf behind her with a small smile and a nod to which the tall canine nodded his head in answer.
"Uh okay," Legoshi said to the rabbit while the small herbivore examined the auditoriums gates design picture Legoshi had brought along long with him.
"So what club are you in?" The small rabbit said to Legoshi in a relaxed yet curious tone of voice to which Legoshi looked away slightly before speaking on his usual low tone of voice.
"Drama club...on the stage crew." Legoshi said to the small herbivore to which she responded with a small "Oh" before Legoshi continued on.
"We need the flowers to decorate the auditorium." Legoshi smiled slightly as the rabbit nodded her head with a small "Cool" as Legoshis mind began to slowly drift off into thought.
'Her heads so far away. I don't think I've ever had a conversation with a small animal before.' Legoshi thought to himself as his long grey-furred tail swished slightly from side to side behind him only for the small female dwarf rabbit to look up and behind at him resulting in the grey wolf to turn his head quickly to the side.
"Hold on. I've got a request." The dwarf rabbit said to Legoshi with a wide smile as the large canine looked back at the rabbit briefly only to once again look away.
"A request?" Legoshi responded in a panicked tone as his eyes widened and his tail froze still in place.
'Oh no, I can't look at her.' Legoshi thought to himself as the female dwarf rabbit turned to fully face the grey wolf with a soft smile on her white-furred face.
"I can't just give away my beautiful flowers for free you know." The dwarf rabbit crossed her arms at Legoshi to which the grey wolf responded with a small "What?" of confusion.
"Could you carry those to the back?" The rabbit smiled and pointed her right paw to four potted plants which Legoshi looked toward and examined with his deep brown eyes only to jump in surprise and shock as the rabbit grabbed a hold of his long grey-furred tail.
"Well, I can't have you knock down my plants with this monstrous tail of yours." The rabbit looked up and smiled at Legoshi as the tall grey and cream furred canine stared back at the small herbivore in shock as the smaller herbivore began to tuck in the canine's tail.
'She...she touched me..' Legoshi thought to himself in both complete shock and surprise as the dwarf rabbit finished tucking in the grey wolf's tail into his trousers.
"Relax I'm not gonna chop it off." The female dwarf rabbit chuckled at Legoshi before stepping back with a small smile as the small herbivore gestured to Legoshi to pick up the potted plants before she began to make her way further into the garden leaving behind a stunned looking grey wolf.
"THORN! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Bill yelled and shook the unconscious red wolf in his large feline paws whilst Louis slowly approached the tiger with a cautious yet concerned look on his deep auburn red-furred face as the large feline continued to shake Thorn desperately as the wolfs right white-furred paw was bleeding heavily from a deep bite mark.
"Bill you need to step back so I can see how bad his injury is," Louis said to Bill in an honest and serious manner only for the large feline to turn and snarl at the red deer in a defensive and aggressive manner as the Bengal tiger clutched Thorn close to him and away from Louis.
"Stay back! You don't know what your on about!" Bill yelled at Louis prompting the hazel-eyed red deer to take a small step back away in slight fear whilst Alex watched on from behind.
'What's with him? I've never seen Bill like this before.' Louis thought to himself in confusion and concern as the red deer watched all of the Bengal tigers defensive and protective movements as he continued to glare deeply at the herbivore with his deep brown eyes.
"Let go of me! I need to be stopped! I'm a monster I need to be stopped!" Thorn suddenly awoke in a mad panic as the red wolf thrashed and struggled in Bills embrace whilst the Bengal tiger swore to himself as Thorn brought his bitten and bleeding paw toward his muzzle only for Louis to grasp ahold of the paw tightly.
'What's he doing?! He's going to get himself hurt!' Bill thought to himself in panic and anger as the red deer glared deeply into Thorns manic and deep yellow eyes only to Then press his hoof hard against the red wolf's muzzle causing the canine to thrash around more and more.
"What are you doing?!" Bill growled and snarled at Louis as the red deer pressed his hoof against Thorn's muzzle and nose more as the expression on the herbivore's face showed pure grit and determination as the red wolf began to take in the deer's scent in heavy and deep inhalations.
"L...Louis?" Thorns gaze locked onto Louis in both a mixture of relief yet hunger as the wolf's eyes closed before he went to bite at the red deer's hoof only for the herbivore to push his hoof more against the canine's muzzle which stopped the red wolfs bite mid attempt.
"I thought you were strong Thorn? But right now your just showing me how weak you truly are." Louis said to Thorn in anger and disappointment to which the red wolf growled deeply at the deep auburn furred deer before shaking his head free of Louis hoof.
"The more you keep pushing against animals the more likely they'll bite back!" Thorn yelled and growled at Louis only for the red deers face to change from the angry expression he had just been wearing to one of admiration as the herbivore began to chuckle whilst both Bill and Alex looked at the now chuckling deer in confusion.
"Good to have you back." Louis stepped back from the surprised and confused looking restrained blonde and white-furred wolf as Bill slowly let go of the canine in his grasp.
"What? But...but I clawed that deers hoof...I lost control of myself." Thorn said to Louis in a dark and depressed tone of voice before the red deer shook his head slowly at the red wolf before he pointed a hoof at Thorns right bitten and bloodied paw.
"You didn't claw him, Thorn. According to Alex as soon as he started to try and pull away from your grip you snarled and tried to bite him but at the last minute you bit down on your paw instead." Louis said to Thorn in an honest yet serious tone of voice as the red wolf looked at his bitten and bloodied paw whilst Bill quickly grabbed the canines paw softly.
"Here let me help with that," Bill said to Thorn in a soft tone as the tiger took off his white shirt before wrapping it around the red wolf bleeding paw prompting a small wince of pain to emit from the canine.
"Thanks, Bill...though I don't think I deserve it.." Thorn said to the fearful and nervous-looking deer behind Louis in an apologetic and sorrowful manner before sighing as Bill finished wrapping up the wolf's paw.
"I think its best you take a trip down to the medical block Thorn. You need to get your paw bandaged up properly. I'll accompany you there." Louis said to Thorn with a small glare before Bill took a step toward the red deer with a soft growl.
"I'll go too," Bill said to Louis in a serious and slightly threatening manner before the Bengal tiger glared at Alex prompting the other red deer to take a small step back away in fear.
"Go back to your dorm room Alex," Bill said to the quickly nodding herbivore before the red deer looked toward Louis in confirmation to which he nodded his head in agreement with Bill before the smaller deer quickly ran off toward the dorm room buildings.
"Right. Now that he's gone we need to talk." Louis said to Thorn in a serious tone as the red deer glared at the down looking red wolf who nodded his head slowly in response whilst his tail lowered and his ears splayed back.
"Yeah...I guessed you'd want to talk."
