Nick was running. He didn't know what was going on. There was an angry bunny running behind him, and there was an urge to run inside him. He didn't know why he was running in the first place. He looked back and saw a grey-furred bunny with purple eyes, chasing him. What the hell was going on, he asked himself. All he remembered was him, his dad and his horrible childhood. Right. And the collar.
The collar started 2 years before Nick was born. It was when Mayor Swinton, the mayor pig, ordered all predators to wear a collar . When one gets angry with a prey, the collar would shock it, forcing the animal to calm down. When one turns five, their parents would be issued the collar to put it on their child. All predators would have to wear it. If removed, the predator would be jailed and put on another collar and a tracking device.
Nick was running still, as fast as he could. They were now in a forest, with the crazy grey rabbit still behind him. He suddenly felt a shock and stumbled and crashed head first into a tree.
"You have the right to stay silent." The grey rabbit said, putting on a handcuff onto the orange fox. Nick groaned. He did set up a park for predators to let loose and have fun. But he also removed the collar. The collar would shock the predator even when it gets excited.
"Hey, easy there, please," Nick grunted as the bunny grabbed Nick up to her chest.
"So, why did the ZPD assign me to catch you?" the bunny asked. Nick laughed. She didn't even know why she was chasing him?
"Well, I set up a park for predators and..." Nick said, his grin turning into a frown. "I removed their collars."
The grey rabbit stood there placing Nick to the ground. "Why?"
Nick looked down. He started to feel lost.
"Well, I can't tell why Mayor Swinton wanted all predators to wear this fucking collar," Nick said, looking down at his. "I can't bear to see little kids sulking at a corner, where they were supposed to be running around, having fun. Did you know that the collar shocks us even when we are excited or elated?"
The grey bunny was dumbstruck. She didn't know Nick was doing illegal acts for a good cause.
"I'm- I'm sorry... I didn't know..." the bunny said as she un-cuffed Nick, offering to help him up, which he accepted.
"As I was saying, the carnival was for predators to have fun and let loose without the fear of getting shocked. I built it underground, so before they left they had to wear their collars back on. Anyways, I'm Nicolas Wilde, but call me Nick."
"Judith Hopps, but everyone calls me Judy." the grey bunny said, shaking hands.
"Right. So, a bunny cop? First time I've heard of that." Nick said with a smirk.
"Yep. First rabbit officer." Judy said proudly. She wasn't in her uniform though, she was in her ZPD t-shirt. It was light blue, and it fitted pretty well with her purple eyes, thought Nick.
"Well, where the heck are we though?" Nick asked.
"I chased you from Saharah square to here. You've got some stamina though." Judy joked.
"Har. Har." Nick laughed sarcastically. He looked around as they walked towards the city. Judy noticed Nick looking down and looking very hurt.
20 years ago-
"Alright son, here's the place!" John Wilde, Nick's father said, pointing to an abandoned shop. "We'll set up a shop called 'Wilde and son'!" John said, rubbing his son's head. Nick giggled. "Well, let's get a loan!" John said, heading towards a loaning agency. A few hours later, they come out of another shop, unsuccessful. They already tried 34 shops, which rejected them all.
"Nick?"
Nick jolted back to reality. He looked at the bunny.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Judy said, placing her paw on Nick's shoulder.
Nick looked down at the bunny, raising an eyebrow.
"Promise?"
"I can swear if you want..."
"Promise is okay."
"Okay, I promise." Judy looked up, smiling.
Before they knew it, they were already entering the city...
