A Son of his own Chapter 20: The Savage Father
Bellwether shot a Nighthowler pellet at Nick, an actual one.
She didn't fall for the blueberry trick, this isn't looking good.
Judy so riddled with fear backed up into a corner but immediately realised she had nowhere to go.
"So that's it?! Prey fears predators and you stay in power?!" Judy shouted, questioning Bellwethers plans.
"Yeah, pretty much" Bellwether said as she smirked.
"It won't work!" Judy shouted.
"Fear always work, and I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way" Bellwether said as Nick growled again.
Judy looked at Nick and he was looking straight at her but looked in another direction.
Nick did give her an odd stare but he didn't look interested in her.
He was interested in someone else, someone who was weaker and helpless.
Nathan.
Judy immediately realised Nick had his raging eyes set on Nathan, and was slowly making his way towards him.
Bellwether watched with anger and confusion.
"What?! You're a fox! Kill the rabbit you dumb animal!" Bellwether shouted which got Nick's attention.
Nick just looked up at Bellwether and growled at her which startled her slightly along with her guards.
Nick was too busy paying attention to Nathan who was defenceless and weak, more than Judy.
Nick slowly approached Nathan on all fours while growling aggressively.
Nathan was trying to move but as unable to thanks to his broken leg and arm which were just becoming more painful.
He started having flashbacks, of his nightmare when his old Dad tried to eat him when he told someone what his parents were doing to him.
And now his new father Nick said going to do the same.
"Savage Fox kills innocent and injured child! That's perfect for a headline!" Bellwether said happily, she was really enjoying what she was seeing.
"You're a monster! Laughing at other mammals pain!" Judy shouted back up at Dawn.
"Oh but there's nothing you can do is there? You have a leg injury yourself while that puny child has a broken arm and leg, this event will cost him an arm and a leg!" Bellwether said as she laughed manically.
Nathan started gently crying as Nick got closer and closer to him.
"Dad" Nathan said weakly.
Nick only growled in response aggressively.
"Don't, please" Nathan said weakly.
Nick only growled again in response as he got closer.
Nick wasn't showing any interest in his natural enemy which is a rabbit, why?
Nathan bluntly faced Nick who was now standing over him.
He twitched as he felt hot breath and fangs gently press against his neck and paws rubbing his sides.
He then felt the fangs sink deeper into his neck, he felt like he was about to die.
Killed by his wish, his new father.
The fox that gave him a better life.
Nathan shut his eyes, waiting for death to take over him.
But it never came.
He felt himself being hoisted off the ground.
Nick was carrying him by the scruff of his neck, like a savage fox would back in the olden days.
Nathan felt a bit weird floating in the air as Nick carried him to the other side of the pit, as far away from Bellwether as possible.
He came to the shelter of a fake bush and took cover behind it, he gently set Nathan down into the ground and curled up into a ball around him and stared at him with a look of worry.
Nick wasn't interested in killing Judy at all, he was not concerned about his son's injuries.
Nathan then felt something wet against his head.
His Dad's tongue.
Nick was cleaning him of the dirt and started gently nuzzling him.
He was being ever so careful to not hurt Nathan by not preening on his broken leg and arm.
He was protecting his cub, by all means possible.
He did throw a few stares at Judy but rather a stare of making sure she didn't sneak up on him.
Judy let out a sigh of relief as Nick paid more attention to Nathan than her while Bellwether looked at them with a angry face.
"What are you doing you stupid fox?! Kill that child!" Bellwether shouted with rage as her plans weren't going as planned.
Nick faced Bellwether when she said that and growled at her while his fur stuck up on his back, making him looking bigger.
"He's not stupid! He's protecting his child!" Judy shouted in retaliation.
"Huh! I should just double the dosage and then he'll end that miserable child's life!" Bellwether shouted in frustration.
"That amount of dosage could kill him! And have you no respect for children?!" Judy yelled as she had grown to like Nathan.
"For prey children, not preds, and I don't care if it kills him" Bellwether said.
"Aaargh!" the both of Bellwethers guards screamed like little girls.
"What is, it?" Bellwether said in an annoyed tone and she immediately realised why her guards screamed and nearly screamed herself.
The Tiger that Nathan befriended was looking straight at them from the Train Station entrance.
"Can we run now?" the guards asked.
"YES!" Bellwether screamed.
The trio of bad sheep scattered and the savage Tiger took chase.
But as he passed the pit, he heard Nathan crying softly.
He looked down into the pit and saw that his Bunny friend was injured and his fox friends were having other problems like Nathan being injured and Nick was just like him now.
The savage Tiger jumped into the pit and walked over to Nick who was licking Nathan.
Nick turned his head and immediately realised it was his friend Mr Savage Tiger so he happily let the Tiger get close as he knew he wouldn't hurt him or Nathan.
He let the Tiger gently nuzzle against Nathan's head which made Nathan purr a bit in comfort.
The Tiger then turned his head to Judy and walked over to her with care.
Judy didn't flinch with fear as she knew the Tiger wouldn't hurt her.
The Tiger was now in front of her and smelt her leg wound and gently licked it clean.
He then carefully picked up Judy with his maw by the back of her shirt and carried her over to where Nick was and as Nick did, put her on the ground and wrapped in a ball around her.
Nathan and Judy had nothing to be afraid of, their savage friends would keep them safe.
"Hopps! Bellwether!" a deep and gruff voice roared from the entrance of the museum.
"Chief Bogo!" Judy shouted.
She heard multiple pawsteps and soon a whole team of professional police officers stood at the edge of the den, all of them shocked with what they saw next.
"Hopps! Report!" Chief Bogo shouted from ground level.
"These 2 predators have gone savage, Mayor Dawn Bellwether has been darting predators all over the city!" Judy shouted as she took out her carrot pen.
"And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way!" the pen said when Judy pressed the recording switch.
"That traitor, we'll make sure she is put behind bars the moment we find her, as for you 3" Chief Bogo said.
"There's 4 of us sir, but you can't see him because of Nick, he's covering him to make sure he's hidden" Judy said.
"Who is he?" Chief Bogo asked.
"His son, Nathan" Judy said.
"Alright then, another name to add to the list, tranq them" Chief Bogo said.
And then rhinos dressed in riot gear took out tranquilizer rifles and shot the group.
They fell asleep peacefully as Judy and Nathan preened against the soft predators bellies which moved up and down.
All that was to be done now was for them to be treated.
