A/N: And so ends my first long story.

Epilogue: One Light in the Darkness


Avery POV:

I wake up before Elunatee. I jump on him to fully wake him up. He told me he's going to help me get home today! We get dressed. I chose to wear a pink checkered shirt and blue pants in memory of my sister. We head down to breakfast. We finish eating, I'm used to the brutality by now. I've ceased to care.

We walk to the nearest store that sells maps. We look at the maps without buying. I note, "These maps don't even show how to go to Zootopia. Zootopia isn't even included on the maps."

Elunatee says, "I'm sorry, Avery. If you can think of a way to get home, I will help in any way that I can."

I say, "Since, I can't go home, I guess I'll live here with you. I'm sure I'll find another way to go home in the future. Since, my hopes of going home have just been dashed, let's spend some money on other vegetables. I'm tired of eating only carrots." We head to a store that sells vegetables. I pick out some lettuce. We now have sixty dollars left. We head home and spend the rest of the day together. I lay beside him in his room, simply enjoying the feel of his fur. I'm able to eat something other than carrots for now.

It was time to sleep, we slept naked cuddling each other. This is the way I'm used to sleeping now, he is my tiger.

A week has passed, Avery types into the computer:

Journal:

I can't seem to get home. It seems like my life is here, now. I was kidnapped from Zootopia by four foxes. I started hating my life, I didn't want to be owned by anyone. I ended up befriending the tiger that chose to claim me as a pet. We've found some form of equality. This past week, there's been a few times where I was extremely angry with him, he let me put the collar on him. All, without complaint. We talked, I've even used the remote. There's also times where he's been angry with me. I let him put the collar on me and he had the control of the remote. I in turn let him shock me as much as he wanted. I'm still forced to play the part of a pet within this cruel world. If, I get shocked. I take it with understanding, that it's play a part, if there's a disagreement, we talk it out in private and use collars if necessary.

I miss Zootopia in all its glory. Life, was peaceful and simple back then. I miss my family that I might never see again. I miss Judy, I looked up to her. Her, very example has led me to my current situation. Not being owned by someone, but being treated as an equal, as a friend.

This isn't the life I chose or the life I wanted. It's simply the life I've come to accept. Society might be uncaring and cruel. Here, when alone with his family. I am treated as an equal. His parents don't seem to object or care. They simply, allow it to happen. I live in this society now. I live content in knowing that in a cruel world, there is someone that cares. That there is one light in the darkness.

End of entry.
