Chapter 1: My first day.

"I woke up today, my usual glum self, knowing today is the start of something new, a day for hope and a day for celebration, but I just wont be happy knowing that my life will always be incomplete, I burnt my bridges and destroyed my only true chance of happiness, good. I alienated my only friends, the only ones who cared about me, good, now I can just do what I'm good at with no distractions.

It's ok though, I fought through the pain, wiped away the tears and pushed through, what I did is my baggage to carry and I refuse to let anyone else bare it, because I failed them, I pushed them away, I forced them to hate me and now I hate myself, but I'll persevere, I'll go further than either of them ever could because I'm better than them and that is a fact, I'm smarter, stronger and have all the talents to put even the best cops to shame, and I know this, its hard being smarter than everyone and knowing it, in one way I can read a mammal like a book, but I'll never truly feel for them, I'll never empathise because that's not who I am, and it hurts it truly does knowing I'll never be like them, but at least I can use my curse to help others".

Robby put down his journal, his tears covered the page and he had nothing left to write that wouldn't make it worse, the book wasn't too big but he had only recently started writing in it so it was almost entirely empty, but he knew he'd fill it up fast, but not right now, today was his first day in Tundra Town PD, it had only been a few weeks since he graduated so he was ready to get to work.

For Robby even a day doing nothing was a nightmare, he hates to be doing anything other than work so he knew he'd be ready for anything the PD would throw at him, no matter how mundane, no matter how thrilling he'd be ready for anything.

He checked his clock, it read 6:31am "I better get ready, the snow's pretty heavy today. he whispered to himself lightly, as he stood up he bumped his chair away and started heading towards his dresser.

"Jeez, I better get put on plain clothes duty as soon as possible this uniform looks so uncomfortable", begrudgingly he threw on the light blue ZPD uniform. Robby was particularly picky about what he liked to wear and this was not something he liked, but he knew he'd get used to it dealt with the situation as he usually would, uncaring and nonchalantly.

For his first day he decided to walk to the precinct, he could of taken the bus or even a taxi, but he thought getting to know the area he lives in would be useful in the future. As he walks through the snow he notices the distinct lack of any other mammals in the street, the occasional polar bear or wolf would be seen meandering through the streets into the back alleys, his thoughts drew to the fact that if the streets are this empty it can mean either no one in tundra town is awake this early or the place just doesn't have that many inhabitants, he hoped for the latter as it means his first day shouldn't be too overwhelming, but he knew it was more than likely the former.

Robby looks down to his wrist, his watch read 6:55am, he was just outside the ZPD Tundra Town Precinct, he saw mammals walking in and out, almost the complete opposite of the rest of town, warm, busy and bright.

As he walks in he notices a distinct lack of other officers. "huh, must be in briefing", he walked towards the reception desk, he saw the officer behind the desk, A particularly large elephant whos badge reads "Officer Trunkski", "Why would an elephant be working in Tundra Town, surely he'd freeze in a place like this." Robby thought to himself, intrigued but not enough to consider asking about it.

"Hey buddy, the names Officer Elmore, todays my first day, would ya mind telling me where I go to get briefed?". Officer Trunkski was busy reading a newspaper but with such large ears he couldn't pretend he didn't hear the low-toned voice of the fox officer. Trunkski groaned to himself and said "Yeah, down there and the third door on the right", the officer pointed towards a row of rooms in a large corridor. "thanks buddy" Robby performs a small salute and walks off towards the briefing room, Trunkski goes back to reading his paper and takes a sip from his coffee as the young officer walks away "He's gonna get eaten alive" he mumbled.

Authors notes:

So this is the first actual chapter of my first ever fanfic! I've gone over it quite a bit to check for grammar mistakes and I think its OK but I may update it in the near future if I find any ways to improve it, I was also hoping for 1000 words but I felt like ending the chapter naturally was a bit more important, I'm also thinking of changing the title but can't think of anything better in all honesty, though I have a good idea for my second chapters name.

now for the important stuff, yes, this will include Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in the future, but right now the next few chapters will be set around 1 year after Bellwether was arrested, but that's not going to lead directly into the story, or at least not for the moment. right now however it is going to be about setting up the story and getting to know the main character who will be adversely affecting the lives of Judy and Nick, right now though I feel its best for you all to get to know this character and his personality, i may also change the main characters name in the future as Robby doesn't feel 100% right to me, Elmore will stay though, and I'll definitely add a middle name in the future.

If you'd like to leave a review feel free as I'm always wanting to improve my work and I'm happy to have people nitpicking even the tiniest details.

Also, is Trunkski a bad name? I sorta like it but it feels like a weak pun, I'll leave it as is right now but he's not too important a character so its not a big issue either way.

Thanks for reading, I should have chapter 2 out within 2 days, depending on how long it is.
