Back again everyone! I think the chapter after this is gonna be the last one but hard to tell quite yet. Anyway, our little OC's from before are back and causing trouble. I don't own them! Thanks to the two wonderful writers who let me use them.
Let's get on with it shall we?
"Any idea what you wanna do about our little friend from before?" Delma asked, using a hand to brush her feathers away from her face. Leo growled softly, claws gripping the windowsill of his room.
"He's going down," Leo snarled, "I refuse to let a catch run away."
"If you ask me I think you'd be better off letting the rabbit slide," Tex commented, "It's clear that he's already claimed, and he has not only one but two predators by his side." Leo spun around, slamming Tex into the wall. Delma watched intently, green eyes never blinking.
"Don't tell me what to do Tex," Leo warned, "You might be a predator too but you're still prey to me." He released the male and stepped back, looking thoughtful. "Although half of the fun is the chase." He turned to Delma. "Do you think he'll run? Prey should be skittish after all."
"I'm sure he will," she replied, "but keep in mind that any mess you make we'll have to clean up. Do try to keep it down."
"But that's half the fun," Leo said, fangs gleaming, "and you know I like my meat...bloody." He turned away, a scent catching his attention. It was warm and supple, making his predatory senses surge into overdrive. He went to his window, eyes glittering as he looked down at his newest target. The violet rabbit was walking to class, the bear and fox on either side of him. "Oh yes, this will be fun indeed."
"You're not thinking straight Leo," Tex said, snapping him from his target, "it's illegal to kill now. You know that."
"No," he said, turning back and gnashing his fangs. Tex growled in reply, though his ears flattened a bit. He wasn't the dominant one of the two and they all knew it. "It's only illegal in the world of humans. Should an Anthro such as myself kill another Anthro no one will bat an eye. Instincts they'll say." He turned back to the window, golden eyes once more locked onto his target. "Besides, I know your own instincts must be craving a fresh kill. So, despite your attitude today, I'll allow you to join us." Tex looked away, unable to hide the glimmer of desire in his eyes. Leo grinned at that and turned to Delma. "Go," he told the hawk, "tail our little game for us."
"Where would you like me to drive him?" she asked, used to this routine already. Leo thought for a moment, fixing his mane with a paw.
"There's that old park across the street that no one uses," he said, "force him there. No one will bother us." She nodded and left, the door silent as it shut behind her. Leo ignored the other occupant in the room, turning back to the window and smirking dangerously. "Soon little pet. Soon we'll have our fun."
"See you later Bonnie," Foxy said as he and Freddy continued to class. Bonnie waited until they slipped out of sight before turning back towards his dorm. He jumped, slightly shocked at the sudden person behind him. Green eyes pierced him, calculating.
'She was with that lion,' he realized, taking a step back from the hawk. She continued to watch him, immobile. "What do you want."
"To talk," she said simply, "Leo went a bit...overboard." Bonnie stared at her, unsure what to do. "Shall we speak somewhere more private?" Something about the tone of her voice made warning bells go off in his head. He stepped back, looking away from her gaze. His heart was pounding, every muscle in his body crying out for him to run.
"I think I'll pass," he said, shocked by how steady his voice sounded right then, "I have too much work to do so-"
"Do you think I was giving you a choice?" He jolted, staring at her. Her gaze was suddenly frigid, her beak suddenly looking much more dangerous. He stepped back again, but this time she followed. With a swallow he turned and bolted. She made no reply but he knew she was giving chase. A simple glance behind him proved that much.
He tore across the campus, swearing softly at the fact that no one was around. They could have put a stop to all this madness after all. Instead he pushed himself to keep running, thankful for the times Foxy had dragged him out for a running partner. At the time he'd hated it, but now he knew that even that tiny bit of stamina he'd gained during that time could save him.
So he ran as fast as he could, eventually being forced from campus and across the street. Cars honked at him but he ignored them. Once he'd reached the other side he paused to look back. Delma was on the other side of the street, green eyes glaring. He sighed, taking this reprieve to catch his breath. 'What does she want with me?' Eventually he caught his breath, watching her still form. She hadn't followed him yet so he relaxed. Then, to his shock, she turned and walked away. He breathed out, deciding to check out his surroundings. He was in an old park, practically empty now. 'I guess I'll wait a moment to ensure she left and then go back.'
He found himself seated on an old wooden bench, trying to keep an eye around him. After about ten minutes he calmed, leaning back and shutting his eyes. 'Seems she really left. I guess I should get going now.' He stood and grabbed his bag, about to leave when a low growl reached him. He turned, piercing gold eyes settling on him. Leo stepped, or rather prowled since he was on all four, towards him. Bonnie's breath caught as he stepped away, dropping his bag. Leo shook his head, ruffling his mane as he stalked forward, fangs bared. He'd never understood how their anatomy allowed them to stand on their hind legs yet still let them revert to the animal-like stance.
He dropped his bag immediately, dropping into his animal stance as he sprinted away. He heard Leo roar a challenge and charge after him. Within minutes he felt sharp claws drive into his thigh, yanking him back. He squirmed free, tearing away despite the liquid fire surging through him. A second set of paws joined the fray and, after a moment to check, he realized it was Tex. 'No! What are they doing!' He swerved away, hearing Leo swear at Tex before they followed.
He continued to barely evade the pairs' claws as they ran after him, adrenaline and pure instinctual terror driving him on. 'There!' he thought, spotting a crumbled wall, 'If I can get over that then I'll be fine.' He tensed him muscles, feeling blood spurt from his torn skin. As soon as he got within range he launched himself up, barely grabbing the edge and hauling himself up. He looked back and saw Leo begin clawing his way up slowly. Bonnie caught his breath and turned, ready to jump down and run again. As soon as he glanced back however, he felt his blood run cold.
On the other side of the wall was nothing more than a sheer cliff face.
"I'm worried," Freddy said suddenly, "he hasn't showed yet."
"Come on Fredrick," Foxy teased, "Your boyfriend's just late. He'll be here soon." Freddy frowned but didn't argue. He looked away, hoping to see Bonnie running towards them. Yet the figure moving towards them wasn't Bonnie. It was Marionette. The human ran up, gesturing wildly. "What's wrong with him?"
"I'm not sure," Freddy said, turning his full attention to the boy, "What's wrong Marionette?" The boy continued to gesture for a few moment and then shook his head, pulling Freddy closer.
"Bonnie," he said, "he's in trouble." Freddy jerked back as if he'd been burned, staring at Marionette.
"What's wrong?" Foxy asked, sounding worried.
"Bonnie's in trouble," he said, "Marionette, can you show us where he is?" The boy nodded and ran off, the two Anthros right behind him.
"Can't run now can you," Leo snarled, fangs only a foot below Bonnie's leg. He bunched it up under himself, readying himself. Tex had begun climbing as well, and now Bonnie saw his chance. He gathered what strength he had left and dove from the wall, limbs outstretched. He touched down and ignored the crack that sounded. He's cracked something for sure but there was no time to worry about it. It was life or death now.
He barely moved when a weight slammed down on him. He cried out, hearing the bone in his left arm crack again. Claws dug into his sides, fangs biting at the back of his neck dangerously. Something gouged into his cheek as he twisted and turned but he only hissed. 'I can't just lie down and die. I won't!' He tore free, shaking as he tried to run away. Leo caught him easily, standing up on two legs again and throwing him towards the wall. His head slammed into it, making him dizzy.
"This has been a fun chase," Leo growled. Tex stalked closer, a low purring noise emanating from him. Leo crouched before Bonnie, gripping his chin. "Anything else to say bunny boy?" Terror melted into anger. How dare Leo do such a thing to him!
"Fuck off," he swore, lashing out with his foot. Leo, clearly not expecting the strike, doubled over in pain. Then he stood again, striking Bonnie so hard that his head snapped back into the brick.
"You'll regret that," he said, one hand clasping around his neck as he leaned in close. "Time to die little bunny."
"Leave him be!" A blur of orange slammed into Leo, throwing him back. Bonnie focused on the lion, spotting Foxy. Tex moved to interfere but Freddy growled, going after the Dhole on all fours. The pair began scratching at each other, a ball of fur and claws.
"Can you move?" Freddy asked. Bonnie nodded, pushing himself up slowly. He could move, but not fast by any means. "Get out of here now!" He stood frozen, unsure whether to move until Leo threw Foxy aside and turned to him.
"Run!" Foxy screeched. Adrenaline kicked in again and Bonnie ran, eyes wide and panting. Leo pounded after him, Foxy, Freddy, and Tex behind Leo. Bonnie ignored them all, mind blank except for the need to survive. He shut his eyes, pouring all his energy into running despite the fact that he was slowing. Claws caught his leg, tripping him up. He felt hard pavement scrape against his skin and groaned, unable to move.
"Get up!" he heard Freddy yell, fear obvious in his tone. Bonnie whined but pushed himself up, left arm dangling uselessly beside him. Something loud shrieked at him and he looked up blearily, seeing lights. He heard one last terror filled call before the air got ripped from his lungs as something slammed into him. He gasped, choking on his air as darkness descended on him. Yet before he passed out he forced his lips to make a few final words.
"Freddy...I love you..."
Haha um...don't hate me? Sorry but it had to happen. As for what exactly happened to Bonnie it's likely obvious but I'll explain totally in the next chapter so don't worry. How was that? Someone asked me if Bonnie was gonna get to say 'I love you' in full since he didn't last time. Well...technically he said it. Again, don't hate me.
I'm off to finish this up and write for A Dark Rebirth so bye for now everyone!
