Nick was alone in his apartment. He could hear someone coming in through the door. He gulped and began to shake. His so called father came in through the door, holding a gun.
"Dad no please don't kill me" Nick began to cry.
"Kill you? Oh no this gun has already been used for someone else." Peter said with a evil chuckle.
"What are you talking about?" Nick asked in frightened tone.
Peter then stepped aside to allow his son to see a bunny on the floor lying lifeless.
Nick ran to her in tears. "Judy can you hear me? Please don't die"
Peter shook his head "this is your fault Nick, you should have got the money"
Nick covered his ears and sobbed louder and louder
"Nick Wake up, Nick come on wake up?" he heard a voice say.
Nick's eyes slowly opened and he began to breathe heavily looking around "Oh carrots you're ok" he smiled.
"Yeah, you were screaming in your sleep. I thought I should wake you up"
"Thanks Carrots it was just a nightmare."
"Would you like to talk about it?" She asked putting her paw on his shoulder.
"No not just now Carrots"
Judy nodded in understanding "it's ok if you ever need to talk I'm here"
Nick nodded " I know"
"Come on then, let's go get some breakfast" Judy suggested.
Both sat at the table and ate their breakfast
"Well I'd best be of to work then" Judy said
"Yeah I'd best go sort out my apartment, I still got quite a bit to do" Nick said. "you coming by after work?"
"You bet"
Nick went back into his apartment, he put some stuff in the bin and rang someone up to take the heavier stuff away. They told him they'd take it next week.
"This is gonna cost a lot to get replaced" nick said to himself. He destroyed the TV the couch
'Why does my dad even want that money anyway? I mean he must need it for something, it can't just be to scare me can it?'
After cleaning up Nick decided to go for a walk to take his mind off things.
He went into a cafe and sat down. After a few minutes someone came to him.
"Hello sir are you ready to order?"
"Oh uh yeah, just a coffee please"
"Sure coming right up"
Soon Nick's coffee arrived and he began to sip it.
After finishing his coffee he paid the bill and left a tip.
When he got out of the café he noticed something going on across the road. Something that made him shake with both anger and fear.
Judy was talking to a fox not just any fox his father.
Nick could see his father stroking Judy's right cheek. "Sir stop or I will arrest you for harassing a police officer" she looked angry but there was a hint of fear in her voice too.
"Wow you're even cuter than you look in the papers" he chuckled ignoring the rabbit. "I'd love to get to know you better little bunny." He bent down and licked Judy's ear making Judy tremble a bit. "Sir stop it" she ordered now sounding more scared.
Nick began to shake even more. he had to do something he couldn't allow his father to treat her that way.
Oh dear has Peter crossed the line? Can Nick stand up to his father a bit better now?
