I've had a bunch of ideas that won't leave my head, and I've read stories like Broken Mask by Kulkum, A Bunny CAN Go Savage by Fox in the hen house, and The Pit by DodgertheJollyRodger all of which I recommend. I am doing this for my own enjoyment and hopefully yours but mainly mine. And other than initial setup I really don't know how I want this to go. Mammals are the only anthopomorphic animals, the exception being Primates, Birds, Amphibians, Reptiles, and Marine animals are not evolved and are used as food and pets.

Each chapter will average about 2k words (not including any author's/end notes.) with the exception of this chapter and the ones with explicit content.

Dawn Bellweather thought that turning Nick Wilde savage in the pit would leave no one who would be aware of the truth. A brave act by Judy ends up backfiring and leaves both her and Nick as savages. Bellweather thought that she would see predator chase prey, and prey run from predator, or for the two savages to fight, but either way, blood would be spilt and she could use this as further her plans for the prey nation. What she didn't know was that attractions that are hidden even from each other, for each other would change everything.

Prologue

"-Off the tail, off off off"

Judy couldn't be any happier. He forgave her. He forgave her after everything that she did and caused. Aside from a little teasing, it didn't take much more than a heartfelt and tearful apology.

Ears dropped behind her to hide the burning blush, Judy continued to hold him in a hug as she shuffled her hindpaws off his (amazingly soft and fluffy) tail. She didn't dare let go as if this wasn't real, that as soon as she lets go she would be in her room back in Bunnyburrow miles away and not in the arms of the male who supported her when no one else did, not the other officers who thought that she was just a publicity stunt, and not her parents who worried too much. But it was real, she with the one who made her laugh even when whatever it was that he said wasn't even all that funny, the one that made the most mundane things exciting. Judy knew that she was infatuated with him the moment he had looked at her with the most pained look in his eyes at that conference and left her with a empty hole in her soul as she saw his slouched back and dragging tail disappear from view.

These past months at home seemed to get bleaker everyday as she thought about him more and more.

Her appetite diminished, things reminded her of him as she spent more and more time away from him. The blueberries that they grow would make her think 'Nick would of loved to see this'. When she heard songs that she remembered singing along together while in that stupid clown car would send her retreating within herself to relive those moments, even if for just a moment. Which was often considering that her Dad and several of her siblings liked some of the same songs which wasn't surprising as he told her "I can pretty much like any song from any genre, after all good music is good music."

Nick was in a similar boat. His tail now free from being pinned now wagged side to side in a lazy manner. He felt happier now than he has these past few months. When Judy had said those things at the press conference, he didn't know why he had been hurt so much, at least until some time later when he couldn't decide to hate her or miss her, but either way she never left his thoughts. It was obvious that he had fallen for Judy, but he also didn't want it to be true. Nick reasoned with himself that it was just him missing a friend rather that him being heartbroken. It had taken Finnick calling him out on it for him to finally accept that he, a street fox who had been a model of what all mammals thought of foxes, had fallen for an earnest country bunny who still had an overwhelmingly positive outlook on life. Nick lost all motivation, he didn't pull his scams and hustles after that day and Finn had been annoyed that he couldn't make money because all of them involved both of them playing the Father/Son role to gain sympathy. Finn had the small size and ability to be so disarmingly adorable (not that anyone would say that in hearing range of the little fennec), and Nick had the charisma and charm to sell it. Finnick couldn't hustle on his own because when he spoke, most mammals would be scared off by the scarily deep baritone voice.

Nick and Judy had been hugging for only a second but it was enough to get both of their hearts beating harder than ever, their heads clouded with the scent of each other, not noticing the other taking deep breaths, committing the scent to memory. When they finally let go (only 3 or 4 seconds), it was reluctantly and not enough for either one of them.

And then Judy heard the voice that plagued her thoughts and dreams "So where to next Fluff?" It was said with such tenderness that had her teardrop of a tail flicking quickly, not that he could see.

The following adventure was the stuff off legends. Threatening Duke with Big's help, locating the lab that makes the Night Howler serum, a goddamn train chase, destruction of said train with the only surviving evidence in a briefcase, Dawn Bellweather approaching them in the museum and them being thrown into a pit.

Which leads the dynamic duo to this moment in time

"What are you going to do? Kill us?"

"Oh I'm not… He is."

Time slowed for Judy as she saw the air gun pointing at had to do something, she had just gotten Nick back in her life and he was about to be taken from her once more.

Despite the pain in her leg screaming for her to stop, she launched herself at Nick. With all her available strength she tackled Nick, pushing him out of the way of the small blue projectile and putting herself in the path of the poison. The pain of something hitting her neck told her that she had been hit.

Judy collapsed as her small body had taken all the punishment that she could take. She hadn't had a proper meal for the past two weeks, only snacking on small things here and there, combined with the fighting, her injury and that her adrenaline had worn off leaving her fatigued and unable to put up much resistance to the Night Howler serum.

Nick's world had shattered. As he tumbled off to the side he heard her squeak in pain and a thud as she hit the floor. Nick scrambled to his hind paws, dropping the little carrot pen that went unnoticed and was still recording, and rushed to her forgetting that this was not a tranq. So focused on Judy that he forgot about the three ovine above him, the smallest of which was dialing on a phone.

"The dumb little bunny just doesn't know when to quit, the serum is wasted on her." The demented ewe sighed and shook her head, her poof of wool jiggling with the movement, as she put away her cell done with what she wanted to do. She takes aim once again "Oh well, she'll be dead anyway so it doesn't matter."

Nick didn't hear what she said or that she spoke at all, but what caused him to turn was a sense of dread, one so cold it caused a shiver and his fur to puff out, his instinct yelling at him to take in his surroundings and to look up, just in time to see Dawn take aim and fire.

Nick felt his consciousness fading and it was fading fast. He looked up to see the ZPD Chief Idris Bogo walking behind the unsuspecting ewe and rams.

"Mayor Dawn Bell… under… right to re…" the voice kept cutting in and out as Nick tried in vain to resist the toxins in his system. Vision blurring, he sees that he has the attention of a couple of officers, and points at the pen with increasing difficulty and says "Recorded.. everything."

Nick collapses and closed his eyes as he lost the battle with himself.

Judy's eyes fluttered open revealing dilated pupils which take in the sights and smells that are around her. Her ears twitch as she hears the bleats of ovine, the groans of bovine, the chuffs of felines, and the various sounds of other animals. She looks up to the sounds and sees mammals that are many times her size in a commotion, some looking down at her.

Ears snapping to attention and nose twitching as she catches the sound of a canines whine much closer than any other sound. Eyes flicking to a movement to the left, catching the color red and black, her ears fold back as she recognizes the form of her natural predator (not that other carnivores never preyed on rabbits, but foxes were the most feared). And then the form moved, slowly and clearly dazed, to all fours. Judy tried to run and hide but her leg protested and she squealed loudly in pain.

Nick was dizzy, head had a splitting headache and his eyes open to show his own dilated pupils, he whines in pain as his head throbs.

Nick tried to get up, slowly and carefully. He is almost up as triangular ears catch the the squeal of an animal in pain, his head snaps to his right, a mistake that makes his headache flare, and he spots a rabbit with a wounded leg trying to scramble away.

Nick slowly moves closer, body close to the ground as he starts his stalk. Judy tried to scramble away with a renewed sense of fear.

Then everything stops, noses twitching in unison.

Nick doesn't smell prey

Judy doesn't smell predator

All they smell is their Mate
