  "writing": "‘I hate history…’ Niko thought to himself as he sat at his desk holding his book, ‘So very bored…’\n\nHis head felt heavy again and he let out a yawn.\n\n‘The past should stay that way…’\n\n---------------------------\n\nThe scent of the forest filled his nose and he could feel himself running. \n\nHe felt free, he felt happy, and he felt cool grass between his toes and fingers as he ran. Leaves fell gently around him as the sun shone down through the trees.\n\nSuddenly the sky grew dark and he heard a howl and the footfalls of something large chasing after him. The fox panicked and ran as fast as he could, dodging trees trying to get away. With every tree he dodged, he heard the sound of whatever was chasing him barrel through the plants gaining ground.\n\nHe found himself in a clearing and stopped in fright upon seeing what waited for him, a tall pale figure with blood red eyes and a hood, a figure with glowing red marks covering its body, a dark feline with long steel fangs, and a shadowy figure with a large tail and a white mask.\n\nThe fox nearly pissed himself as he tried to back away and ran into a paw twice his size. He swallowed his fear and looked up seeing a large wolf towering over him then he heard laughter.\n\n“Is the great beast of the Abyss frightened?”\n\nHe heard a swishing sound and looked back seeing a red-eyed kitsune walking towards him with its tails swarming like snakes. Niko quaked in fear as he saw the single blood red tail swimming among the snow-white ones.\n\n“Death is coming for you again, little boy…”\n\nNiko backed away as quickly as he could but he felt the stabbing pain rip through his chest again as another of the kitsune’s tails turned red with blood. \n\n--------------------------\n\nNiko woke with a start and felt himself falling. He let out a startled cry as both he and his chair crashed into the desk behind him and then to the floor.\n\nHe lay there panting and trying to calm down as the other students in class either gasped or laughed at him. The scent of the forest filled Niko’s nose again as he looked up and saw a black figure standing over him wearing a hooded sweatshirt.\n\n“You ok?” the hooded figure asked as towards the fallen fox.\n\nNiko tensed up with memories of his dream still fresh in his mind.\n\n“What’s the matter, never seen a raven before?” Niko took a good long look at the paw offered to him and realized that it was a black wing connected to an equally black bird.\n\nNiko took the bird’s wing and was helped to his feet, “Um… sorry… just a bit confused from waking up like that…”\n\n“It’s cool, Nikolas,” the raven grinned at Niko’s surprised face.\n\n“How do you know my name?” Niko tensed and if not for the teacher, being in the room, would have been prepared to fight.\n\nSpeaking of teachers…\n\n“Mr. Todd, Mr. Nightwing take your seats so we can gat back to the lesson.”\n\n“Yes. sir,” both the fox and the bird said as they took their seats.\n\n-------------------------\n\n“Who the hell are you?!” Niko asked with growl as he slammed the bird against a row of lockers.\n\nThe crow didn’t blink or show any surprise as he was assaulted by the white fox after class.\n\n“Shame…” \n\nNiko looked at the bird in confusion.\n\n“My name is Shame,” the crow clarified as Niko continued holding him against the lockers.\n\n“Your name is Shame?” Niko’s grip loosened letting the bird stand on his own two feet.\n\nThe bird brushed the stray white fur off of his hoodie, “Yes, I was so named because that is what I am, Nikolas.”\n\n“What do you mean you’re shame, and how the hell do you know my name?” Niko asked with honest curiosity, “I still haven’t even had it changed in the system.”\n\n“I know much about you Nikolas,” Shame began walking away, “Thought your mind is shattered the past is written clearly on your soul.”\n\nNiko stood there confused as the crow walked away.\n\n“Hey, wait a minute. What’s that supposed to mean?”\n\n-------------------------\n\nNo’sh looked left and then right as he snuck around trying to find a nice quiet place to wait till lunch.\n\n“Man it’s getting so a guy can’t even relax around here.”\n\nHe saw an opening and ran towards a room that shouldn’t be occupied.\n\n“Norbert Shante Walker!”\n\nNo’sh stopped dead in his tracks and turned around nervously to see his angry mother standing there.\n\n“H-hi mom… What are you doing here?” he asked with a blush as he noticed a small group of stragglers watching the commotion.\n\n“The school called and told me you haven’t been going to classes for nearly a month,” she marched over towards her son who shrunk back with his tail between his legs as she approached.\n\n“I-I’m sorry, mom… It’s just that school is so boring…” \n\n“I don’t care, Norbert. Get your tail to class,” she said with her hands on her hips watching as No’sh stood there trying to come up with a reply, “Now!”\n\nThe green fox shied away from his mother with his ears laying down and his tail still tucked between his legs.\n\n“Yes, momma…”\n\n--------------------------\n\nThe week was slowly dragging on and Zoe was beginning to become accustom to the school and all the sights and smells she had experienced over the last few days. \n\nHowever…\n\n‘I’m so bored…’ she thought to herself as she sat in math class.\n\nShe looked around the room for a moment seeing a majority of the other students just as bored as her. \n\n“I hope nothing important happens…” she let out a yawn and rested her head on her folded arms to take a nap.\n\n------------------------\n\nA gentle breeze blew through her fur, as Zoe lay naked beneath a tree on a warm sunny day. She let out a contented sigh as the sun warmed her body and a feminine pink paw gently caressed the fur between her breasts.\n\n“This is the life…,” she said with a smile, as she looked around seeing a sexy pink ferret beside her as well as many more sexy nude girls playing with each other while waiting their turn to be with Zoe.\n\nTo her right were a set of rabbit twins, one black the other white, with a golden furred fox, to her left was a sexy girl with wings laying nude between Frankie and their gym teacher. She blushed slightly as the ferret beside her began to nibble on her ear.\n\n“This is the best dream ever,” she said before starting to make out with the ferret.\n\nTheir hands explored each other’s bodies as their tongues danced together. Zoe let out a pleasurable moan as the ferret’s tail brushed between her thighs. Zoe playfully nipped at the ferret’s lips and began kissing down her body, stopping momentarily to kiss and suck on one nipple and then the other, before leaving a trail of light kisses down the soft fur of the ferret’s stomach. Zoe looked up with a mischievous grin as she neared the ferret’s nether lips and began teasingly kissing her thighs drawing ever closer to her longing core.\n\nZoe tongue danced along the willing folds of the ferret causing her to cry out in pleasure. The mink grew more excited with each sound failed to notice as a shadow fell across their hot sweaty forms until she felt something big and hard pressed against her hot cunny. She nervously looked behind her and upon seeing Niko behind her, she returned to her other lover and let out a startled gasp as she was filled with pleasure and her face was forced into the ferret’s welcoming center.\n\nZoe mewed in pleasure as Niko repeatedly thrust into her as her muffled cries were echoed by the girl her face was buried in. She could feel it building up, the pleasure everything was leading to. Her body was rocked with her orgasm as her mouth was flooded with the juices of the ferret and her womb was filled with Niko’s essence.\n\n“Mmm, that was great…” she thought aloud as Niko removed himself from her and was replaced by something just as long but way more active. She let out another moan and looked as the winged girl had her head between the mink’s thighs licking the remains of Niko’s essence up with a tongue she hoped was as real as it felt right now.\n\nAll the while, a pathetic whimpering sound was coming from above them. Zoe looked up from her playmate with a wicked smile. Dangling from the tree above them was Edna bound in leather with her hands behind her back and her mouth gagged and her other holes filled with toys as big as her arm.\n\n“Are you enjoying the show, you little slut?” Zoe pressed a button on a device next to her and a loud buzzing filled the air accompanied by the muffled cries of both pleasure and pain from Edna as the massive toys filling her holes began to vibrate before a loud ringing sounded.\n\nZoe shot up in her seat blushing as the bell woke her from her dream. She blushed an even deeper crimson as she heard giggling from others who were leaving the class and realized her hand had found its way into her skirt while she had slept.\n\n-----------------------\n\nZoe was burning with embarrassment as she made her way through the halls, she didn’t know weather to go to the nurse’s office to hide or to attempt to finish the day up.\n\n“Hey, Zoe.”\n\nThe mink stiffened up and looked behind her to see Niko walking towards her.\n\n“H-hi Niko…” Zoe stammered out as the fox approached.\n\n“What’s the matter with you?” he asked her with concern in his voice, “You’re all red…”\n\n“Um…” Zoe blushed even more as she tried talking to Niko, “N-nothing…”\n\n“You sure?” Niko asked before he sniffed at the air, “You smell different today…”\n\nThe next thing Niko knew he was laying on the ground and Zoe was nowhere to be seen.\n\n“What happened?”\n\n---------------------------\n\nZoe sat in the nurse’s office with a thermometer in her mouth. She had come there because it seemed like a good place to wait out the rest of the day.\n\n“There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with you, besides being a little warm,” the nurse said while taking the thermometer from the mink’s mouth and looking at it.\n\nZoe pouted at the nurse, “Can I stay here for awhile, pretty please? My tummy feels funny and… um…”\n\n“I guess I can let you rest for a little while…”\n\n“Thank you very much, ma’am,” Zoe said, as she lay down happy to be somewhere where nobody would find her for a while.\n\n-----------------------------\n\nZoe let out a yawn and sat up. She felt much better.\n\n“I musta fallen asleep…”\n\n“You did, Miss Wilder,” a voice came from nearby accompanied by the sound of keys clicking on a keyboard.\n\nZoe looked towards the voice and saw a slightly familiar red spotted leopard sitting at the nurse’s desk with his laptop.\n\n“You’re that one guy, right?” she asked, “From my first day…”\n\n “Sam, and yes, I met you on your first day…” he smiled at her, “You are a very fascinating subject, Miss Wilder.”\n\nZoe felt uneasiness in the pit of her stomach and looked around for the nurse.\n\n“She stepped out for a moment,” Sam said returning to his laptop, “Now if you wouldn’t mind could you put your underwear back on? It is very hard to concentrate with your scent in the air.”\n\n“Why were my panties off to begin with?” Zoe began to panic, “W-what did you do to me?”  \n\nSam didn’t look up, “Well due to the data I had collected, the scent, the temperature, the girls talking about what happened in math class… I figured I’d see if you were in heat or not.”\n\n“Y-you what?!” Zoe felt sick to her stomach and slunk into a corner looking at the leopard with fear and disgust in her eyes from behind her tail.\n\nSam held up a thermometer, “I decided to check your temperature, and since you were asleep it seemed to be the best time…”\n\nZoe screamed causing Sam to quickly save what he was doing and slam his laptop shut, “Please don’t scream, it never looks good…”\n\nZoe screamed again and Sam’s ears lay down against his head as he gathered his stuff and ran leaving Zoe shaking behind her tail with tears running down her face. A moment latter the nurse came running back into the room.\n\n“What happened?” she asked looking at the scared mink.\n\n“I-I woke up from my nap a-and there was a boy in here…” Zoe sniffled and buried her face in her tail, “H-he…”\n\n“What, honey?” the nurse asked with concern in her voice.\n\nZoe sniffled again and thought of what happened, “H-he…”\n\nShe remembered her past and how nobody ever believed her when she was little.\n\n“He scared me that’s all…” Zoe looked up from her tail with another sniffle and dried her tears with her tail, “H-he said I might be going into heat…”\n\n“Would you like me to check?”\n\n“N-no thank you…” Zoe blushed as she realized she still had her panties in her hand, “Um… would it be ok if I called my guardian and went home?”\n\n“Really I shouldn’t but…” the nurse ruffled her hair, “I think you’ve had a hard enough day, so go ahead.”\n\n“Thank you…” Zoe smiled and dialed the phone.\n\nAfter a few rings…\n\n“Pouncefield Family Medical Clinic, how may I help you?” a familiar voice came over the line.\n\n“H-hey, Frankie… can you come get me from school?” Zoe said with a sniffle.\n\n“Yeah hold on a sec…”\n\nIt was silent for a moment on the other side.\n\n“Hey, Nick, I’m taking an early lunch, something’s wrong with my cousin.”\n\nA moment later, “I’ll be right there, Z.”\n\n------------------------------\n\n“So what happened?” Frankie asked as she and Zoe drove back to the clinic.\n\n“I don’t wanna talk about it…” Zoe looked out the window, as they drove, “Why can’t I just go home for the rest of the day?”\n\n“Because I have work to do, and you aren’t sick,” they pulled into the clinic, “So you’re gonna help me out for the rest of the day.”\n\nZoe pouted as she followed Frankie in, “But I don’t wanna work, I wanna go home and play video games…”\n\n“We all have things that we’d rather do,” Frankie led the way through the waiting room into the receptionist area, “besides if you work hard I’ll get you something special for dessert tonight.”\n\nZoe perked up at that, “Can I have some mint ice cream?”\n\n“Sure,” Frankie said as she walked back to tell Nick she was back and that she had brought an assistant with her.\n\nZoe bounced around slightly before she sat down, “Maybe today isn’t as bad as I thought.”\n\n-----------------------------\n\nNiko let out a defeated sigh; he had been looking for Zoe since before lunch and hadn’t been able to find a trace of her by the end of the day.\n\n‘Where could she be?’ he thought to himself.\n\n“What’s your deal Frosty?”\n\nNiko looked up and saw No’sh with his arms loaded down with books and papers.\n\n“I can’t find Zoe…” Niko then looked at the green fox and tried not to laugh as No’sh struggled under the weight of the load, “What’s with you?”\n\nNo’sh looked around and spotted an open locker, “My mom came to school, so I had to go to class…” He threw his unwanted load into the locker and slammed it shut, hoping that it didn’t belong to anybody he knew, “You have any idea how much homework piles up when you skip nearly a month of classes?”\n\n“No clue,” Niko said and then let out another sigh.\n\n“Haven’t even known her a full week and you’re already this bad huh?” the green fox asked.\n\n“I just wanna see her,” Niko said with a blush, “Is that so bad?”\n\n“Yes,” No’sh answered with a grin, “It’s so bad that you’re becoming a wussy who gives up just because you can’t find her in school.”\n\n“But we still have our last class…” the white fox said while looking at his friend.\n\n“Skip it,” Niko looked at No’sh shocked, “You heard me, Snowball, let’s skip the rest of the day and go looking for your girlfriend.”\n\n“B-but…”\n\n“But nothing,” No’sh squatted near Niko and grinned, “If you really love her, then you shouldn’t be afraid to do something stupid to see her.”\n\n“Who says I love her?” Niko growled defensively as he blushed.\n\n“I know you, and ever since you met her you’ve been goofy,” the green fox said with a smile as he stood back up, “Now lets get our tails outta here and go find your girlfriend.”\n\nNiko stood and followed No’sh who glanced around as they snuck out a side entrance. Unbeknownst to them two pairs of eyes were watching them.\n\n“So shall we begin out game?”\n\n“I just need to gather my pieces and then we can.”\n\n---------------------------------\n\n“How the hell do you do that?” No’sh asked while driving his moped\n\n“Do what?” Niko looked back from where he sat crouched on the headlight sniffing for Zoe.\n\n“Sit like that, I mean I could understand if you were a bird or something…” No’sh let out a sigh as Niko looked at him strangely, “Never mind.”\n\nThey drove for a while in silence turning down many streets with Niko constantly sniffing.\n\n“Do you even have a clue where you’re going?” the green fox asked as he glanced down at his gas gauge.\n\n“Nope,” was Niko’s response.\n\nNo’sh let out a sigh and kept driving knowing that he was doing this for his best friend’s love life.\n\nSuddenly a shot rang out and No’sh felt a great deal of pain in his side that caused him to wreck.\n\n“What happened, man?” Niko landed on his feet and ran to the side of No’sh.\n\n“Some bastard shot me!” he shouted from where he lay beside his moped, “A-am I gonna die?”\n\nNiko looked at No’sh with worry until he noticed the bright purple explosion of paint right above his kidney, “I think you’ll live…”\n\n“You’re lucky, Norbert,” they heard a voice say with a laugh and looked back to see a figure standing there with a paintball gun resting on his shoulder.\n\n“I could’ve gone for a headshot,” a panther in a St. Rutherford school uniform said, his saffron eyes shone with a twisted joy at the pain he caused that was mirrored by his brace filled smile.\n\nNiko let out a grown, “Who the hell are you?”\n\n“Why don’t you ask Norby?” the panther asked while pointing the gun at them.\n\n“Blow me, Droz,” said No’sh as he stood up holding his side in pain.\n\n“Oh please, Norby, if I remember right you’re the one who enjoyed doing that,” the panther said with a cruel grin, “I’m surprised you haven’t done it with him yet.”\n\n“What the hell do you want?” Niko asked as he got into a defensive stance.\n\nDroz smiled his steely grin and spun his gun, “We’re going to play a little game.”\n\n“Go fuck yourself,” No’sh let out his own growl, “I know the twisted games you play, and we ain’t gonna play.”\n\nDroz pouted slightly, “Oh poo, I guess I’ll just have to make due with that pretty little mink then.”\n\nNiko let out a war cry and lunged at the panther only to hit nothing and receive a gun butt across his jaw.\n\n“What the hell did you do with Zoe you freak?!” No’sh shouted as Niko stumbled back.\n\n“If you play the game then nothing,” Droz’s face darkened and his eyes seemed to glow a sickly yellow, “but if you don’t then there’s no telling what my associate will do.”\n\n“Fine, I’ll play,” Niko spit out some blood, “But if there’s so much as a scratch on her, I’ll rip you apart.”\n\n----------------------------------\n\nZoe let out a sigh, it hadn’t even been an hour and she was already bored to death.\n\n“Can I go home yet, Frankie?” the young mink asked with a pout.\n\n“Nope,” Frankie didn’t even look up from the small bit of filing she was doing, “You gotta stay till I get off, or you don’t get your ice cream.”\n\n“That’s not fair,” Zoe said with a huff, “I wanted to go home early.”\n\n“Why, were you hoping to see your boyfriend after school or something?” Frankie asked with a grin.\n\n“No, nothing like that!” the mink shouted in embarrassment, “I just had a hard day at school and wanted to go home, take a shower, and sleep.”\n\n“Oh come on, Z,” Frankie gave her cousin a knowing grin, “You would have called that fox up to come play.”\n\n“W-what are you talking about?” she asked defensively.\n\n“You’re in heat,” Frankie said with a smile.\n\n“I-I dunno what you’re talking about,” she said as she blushed and hid behind her tail.\n\n“Oh, come on,” the ferret looked at Zoe smugly, “I can smell it, I’m sure Dr. Lupis can smell it, hell, I bet your fox could smell it to.”\n\nZoe buried herself in her tail, “D-don’t be nasty, Frankie.”\n\n“There’s nothing nasty about growing up, Z,” Frankie pulled Zoe’s tail out of the way, “I just ask that you don’t sleep with Niko while you’re in heat.”\n\nZoe turned even redder through her cream-colored fur, “W-what makes you think I’d sleep with him?”\n\n“Oh please, you’re a girl in heat and he’s a cute boy, at least from what you’ve told me,” Frankie ruffled her cousin’s hair, “You’d be a weird girl if you didn’t atleast fantasies about it.”\n\nZoe blushed but couldn’t help but grin slightly.\n\n“I knew it,” Frankie smiled back, “just don’t have sex anytime soon, I don’t want to have to skin your boyfriend.”\n\n“Gee thanks, Frankie,” Zoe said with a look, “I coulda gotten a mom answer from any adult.”\n\n“Ok fine,” the ferret grinned, “the hand, the mouth, or the tail.”\n\nZoe looked at her cousin in confusion.\n\n“If you decide to yiff him anyways,” Frankie smiled wickedly at the blush that spread once again on Zoe, “those are the three best places when you’re in heat that won’t get you knocked up.”\n\n“W-wha…” Zoe trailed off as she hid behind her tail again.\n\n“I’m sure your fox would love any of them,” Frankie thought for a moment, “But if you want to give him a special treat, let him take you in the tail hole.”\n\n“I-I dunno if I could do that,” Zoe fixed her skirt in nervousness.\n\n“Trust me, it feels good after you get used to it,” Frankie said with a smile, “I know I like it.”\n\n“God, Frankie, I didn’t need to know.”\n\nThe two girls were so lost in their conversation that they didn’t even notice the imposing white figure watching them from the door, or hear the hiss as his tongue tasted the air.\n\n---------------------------------\n\n“Serpentine!” No’sh shouted as a shot rang out and struck the ground beside him.\n\nNiko and No’sh ran through the streets with their ears perked up waiting for the next shot to be fired.\n\n“What the hell is wrong with this guy?” Niko asked as he veered left to throw off any incoming shots, “You seem to know him.”\n\n“I’ll tell ya later, Niko,” No’sh went right, “but right now we gotta avoid that psycho’s sniping.”\n\nNiko dove to the side of the road as an explosion of green appeared where he once was.\n\n----------------------------------\n\n“The rules are simple,” Droz smiled from where he aimed his gun, “They have till nightfall to reach Zoe, while I try to pick them off. They are allowed help, but just so you know, they become part of the game and viable targets too…”\n\nA fur wearing a long white coat stood behind him, “Very well, Darrius, but remember you aren’t to kill them.”\n\n“I know,” he took another shot intentionally missing, “but I still get to take a prize from anyone I take out, right?”\n\n“As you wish, just don’t disfigure them,” the coat wearing fur began walking away, “It really messes with my research when they are not whole.”\n\n“And I really wanted to mount Norby’s tail on my wall…” the panther let out a sigh as he prepared to fire again and vanished.\n\n----------------------------------\n\nA shot sounded again and a paintball exploded in front of Niko’s bare feet.\n\n“What the hell!” Niko stumbled and rolled towards a bush in somebody’s yard.\n\n“I dunno, maybe he has a few buddies waiting for us,” No’sh stopped and looked around with paranoia in his eyes.\n\n“If that’s the case we need some backup of our own…” Niko looked around as he stood up and didn’t see anybody, “Why’s there never a cop around when you need one?”\n\n“Do you honestly think they would be of any help?” the foxes looked up at the sound of the voice and saw a black bird perched on a streetlight.\n\nNiko looked at the bird in confusion, “You’re that Shame guy ain’t you?”\n\n“Sha, if you don’t mind,” the bird replied as he stretched his wings and leapt from the light.\n\n“Huh, who’s this guy?” No’sh nervously asked as his ears twitched waiting for another shot.\n\n“Some bird from school,” Niko sniffed at the air trying to find Zoe’s scent to make the game stop.\n\nA shot sounded in a new direction and in the blink of an eye, Niko saw a hoodie flying through the air beside him and a splat as a paintball exploded in it.\n\n“If you want to win, you should pay attention to the strange Cheshire cat you seem to be facing,” Sha said, as he stood there bare from the waist up.\n\n“How’d you do that?” No’sh asked in shock.\n\n“Your opponent is special, so is his spirit,” Sha said as he picked up his discarded sweatshirt.\n\n“Why’d you help me?” Niko asked as the bird stood up, “I nearly beat you up earlier.”\n\n“Does it matter?” Sha turned and began to walk away, “If you are going to find Zoe, then you should look for her Sentry.”\n\nNo’sh watched as the bird left, expecting another shot to come, but there was none, the only thing that seemed out of place on the bird was a white patch of feathers in the middle of his back that looked like an eye.\n\n“What he mean by that?” the green fox asked as he looked around wondering why they were still standing around with a gun-toting maniac after them.\n\nNiko stood and thought for a while till a shot was fired and whizzed by his ear.\n\n“What is wrong with this guy anyways?” Niko seemed to effortlessly dodge the rapid shots fired at him.\n\n“Are you goin all Neo, on me Niko?” asked No’sh from where he hid behind a tree.\n\n“I dunno…” the shots stopped, “Who’s Neo?”\n\n“Never mind…” No’sh came out and looked at the paint-splattered street, “Any ideas where Zoe is?”\n\n“With her cousin would be my guess,” Niko took off running.\n\n“Hey, wait for me!” No’sh chased after him.\n\n----------------------------------\n\nZoe fidgeted in her seat. She couldn’t stay much longer, school was nearly over and she wanted to hang out with the few friends she had.\n\n“I’m bored,” she whined to Frankie who was reclining with her feet on the desk.\n\nFrankie sat up and spun her chair a little, “It’s a slow day, not many people made appointments.”\n\nZoe hopped out of her chair and began to walk off.\n\n“I’m going to the bathroom,” she said as she walked out of the reception area.\n\n“Don’t do anything bad. Z,” Frankie grinned wickedly, “I know you’re in heat but it’s still a public restroom.”\n\nZoe blushed and ran to the bathroom leaving a chuckling Frankie all alone until a hiss was heard from the waiting room.\n\n“Excuse me miss,” Frankie turned to see a very tall albino reptile standing on the other side of the glass.\n\n“Welcome to Pouncefield Family Medical Clinic,” Frankie said with a smile, “How may I help you sir?”\n\n“Is that where I am?” the hissing voice of tall albino sounded, “I guess I’m more lost then I thought.”\n\nFrankie looked at him in confusion, “How’d you not know where you are?”\n\n“I’m new in town and I’ve yet to have anybody walk me around,” Frankie looked up to the retiles face and saw that his eyes were as red as any other albino’s except they were kind of cloudy white in some areas.\n\n“Oh, I’m sorry sir, I didn’t realize you were blind,” Frankie blushed slightly, “I’m Frankie Sentry, if you need anything don’t hesitate to ask…”\n\n“Thank you very much, but if I can just rest here and get my bearings I should be able to find my way home.”\n\n“Of course sir, rest as long as you need to.”\n\n----------------------------------\n\nDroz sat back as he meticulously went about reloading his paintball gun.\n\n“Just like old times, Norby,” he said out loud, “Soon I’ll shoot all over your tail just like when we were together.”\n\n----------------------------------\n\n“Up till three years ago we were best friends,” No’sh ran through the streets following Niko.\n\n“I guess it didn’t end well,” Niko was focused on finding Zoe again and was barely paying attention.\n\nThe green fox looked around wondering why they weren’t being shot at, “You could say that…”\n\nA shot rang out and clipped the tip of No’sh’s tail.\n\n“Tell me later, I gotta get to Zoe before something happens,” Niko picked up speed leaving No’sh struggling to keep up.\n\n“Man,” No’sh stopped trying, “I should really cut back on smoking…”\n\n“It couldn’t hurt, Norby,” No’sh stiffened as he heard the voice from behind him and turned only to come face to face with a gun barrel.\n\n“Aww, fuck me…” No’sh’s tail drooped.\n\n“Maybe later Norby,” Droz slammed the butt of his gun into the green fox’s abdomen knocking the wind out of him.\n\n--------------------------------\n\nNiko found himself in the parking lot of the clinic. It took him a moment to realize that the entire time he had been running there hadn’t been a shot fired.\n\n“It can’t be this easy,” the white fox said as he looked at the clinic and didn’t see anything strange, “Right No’sh?”\n\nThere was no response.\n\n“No’sh?” Niko turned looking for his companion, “Where’d you go?”\n\n“I’m sure he’ll show up eventually, Missster Foxxglove,” a shudder ran down Niko’s back and his fur stood on end at that hissing voice.\n\nWalking from the front door of the clinic was tall reptile, his scales as white as bone, his eyes as red as blood, arms and legs so lanky they seemed to be an afterthought by whatever being had created him.\n\n“Y-you,” Niko stammered as he felt panic running through him, “I-I-I thought you were just a nightmare…”\n\nThe reptile let out another his hearing the fear in the fox’s voice, “I am more then a nightmare, Misster Foxxglove,” his tongue snaked out tasting that fear and a hood flared open around his head.\n\nNiko could feel the urge to run biting at the back of his head but also his anger driving him forward, “What did you do with Zoe?”\n\n“If you can beat me you will see,” the blind snake struck with blinding speed, sending Niko flying back.\n\n“That’s not what the other guy said,” Niko staggered to his feet, “He said that if we made it here then I’d get to see Zoe and nothing would happen.”\n\nThe snake began to laugh a creepy hissing laugh as he stared at Niko with his blind eyes.\n\n“Do I look like that cat to you?” the snake struck again sending Niko sailing into a parked car.\n\nA growl came from Niko as he staggered to his feet and glared at the snake with eyes burning with rage.\n\n“Get the hell out of the way you freak!” Niko attacked the snake only to be countered at every move before being sent sliding away with a strike to the chest.\n\n“You are so pathetic, Missster Foxxglove,” the snake stood glaring at Niko with his blind eyes, “If you don’t fight like you mean it, I’ll go after your mate.”\n\nNiko let out another growl, “If you so much as bring up Zoe again, I’ll rip you apart!”\n\n“Yesss, please do, Missster Foxxglove,” the snake entered a fighting stance and smiled, “Zoe will be a delicious meal after I kill you.”\n\nSomething in Niko snapped and his eyes began to glow red as he fell to all fours and lunged at the snake.\n\nThe snake’s tongue flicked out moments before his arm did and closed around Niko’s neck.\n\n“Yess, that’s exactly what I wanted,” the snake laughed as he tightened his grip on his prey, “Show me the rage of the beast!”\n\nNiko sank his claws and teeth into the snake’s arm drawing blood.\n\n“Such wild untamed aggression,” the snake laughed as he slammed Niko to the street and stared into his red eyes, “You are far from what you once were.”\n\nNiko yelped in pain and felt everything going dark, as he was unable to look away from the snake eyes.\n\n-------------------------------\n\n“Did I miss anything, Frankie?” Zoe walked back to her seat.\n\n“Not really,” Frankie looked up from some paperwork and then looked around the waiting room, “there was some blind guy here, but I guess he left…”\n\nAt that moment there was a loud crash and an unconscious fox came flying through the front door.\n\n“Oh my god, Niko!” Zoe ran over to the battered form and recognized it was Niko, “What happened to you?”\n\n“Don’t touch him Z,” Frankie grabbed hold of the mink, “You don’t know how bad he’s hurt.”\n\n“B-but, I can’t just let him lie there,” Zoe strained against Frankie’s grip.\n\n“I’m not asking you to,” Frankie pushed Zoe towards the back, “go get Dr. Lupis, if you wanna help.”\n\n“R-right…” the mink ran to the back to get Nick as Frankie kneeled over the fox.\n\n“What happened to you?” the ferret brushed what appeared to be clay from his muzzle.",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>&lsquo;I hate history&hellip;&rsquo; Niko thought to himself as he sat at his desk holding his book, &lsquo;So very bored&hellip;&rsquo;<br /><br />His head felt heavy again and he let out a yawn.<br /><br />&lsquo;The past should stay that way&hellip;&rsquo;<br /><br />---------------------------<br /><br />The scent of the forest filled his nose and he could feel himself running. <br /><br />He felt free, he felt happy, and he felt cool grass between his toes and fingers as he ran. Leaves fell gently around him as the sun shone down through the trees.<br /><br />Suddenly the sky grew dark and he heard a howl and the footfalls of something large chasing after him. The fox panicked and ran as fast as he could, dodging trees trying to get away. With every tree he dodged, he heard the sound of whatever was chasing him barrel through the plants gaining ground.<br /><br />He found himself in a clearing and stopped in fright upon seeing what waited for him, a tall pale figure with blood red eyes and a hood, a figure with glowing red marks covering its body, a dark feline with long steel fangs, and a shadowy figure with a large tail and a white mask.<br /><br />The fox nearly pissed himself as he tried to back away and ran into a paw twice his size. He swallowed his fear and looked up seeing a large wolf towering over him then he heard laughter.<br /><br />&ldquo;Is the great beast of the Abyss frightened?&rdquo;<br /><br />He heard a swishing sound and looked back seeing a red-eyed kitsune walking towards him with its tails swarming like snakes. Niko quaked in fear as he saw the single blood red tail swimming among the snow-white ones.<br /><br />&ldquo;Death is coming for you again, little boy&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko backed away as quickly as he could but he felt the stabbing pain rip through his chest again as another of the kitsune&rsquo;s tails turned red with blood. <br /><br />--------------------------<br /><br />Niko woke with a start and felt himself falling. He let out a startled cry as both he and his chair crashed into the desk behind him and then to the floor.<br /><br />He lay there panting and trying to calm down as the other students in class either gasped or laughed at him. The scent of the forest filled Niko&rsquo;s nose again as he looked up and saw a black figure standing over him wearing a hooded sweatshirt.<br /><br />&ldquo;You ok?&rdquo; the hooded figure asked as towards the fallen fox.<br /><br />Niko tensed up with memories of his dream still fresh in his mind.<br /><br />&ldquo;What&rsquo;s the matter, never seen a raven before?&rdquo; Niko took a good long look at the paw offered to him and realized that it was a black wing connected to an equally black bird.<br /><br />Niko took the bird&rsquo;s wing and was helped to his feet, &ldquo;Um&hellip; sorry&hellip; just a bit confused from waking up like that&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s cool, Nikolas,&rdquo; the raven grinned at Niko&rsquo;s surprised face.<br /><br />&ldquo;How do you know my name?&rdquo; Niko tensed and if not for the teacher, being in the room, would have been prepared to fight.<br /><br />Speaking of teachers&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;Mr. Todd, Mr. Nightwing take your seats so we can gat back to the lesson.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes. sir,&rdquo; both the fox and the bird said as they took their seats.<br /><br />-------------------------<br /><br />&ldquo;Who the hell are you?!&rdquo; Niko asked with growl as he slammed the bird against a row of lockers.<br /><br />The crow didn&rsquo;t blink or show any surprise as he was assaulted by the white fox after class.<br /><br />&ldquo;Shame&hellip;&rdquo; <br /><br />Niko looked at the bird in confusion.<br /><br />&ldquo;My name is Shame,&rdquo; the crow clarified as Niko continued holding him against the lockers.<br /><br />&ldquo;Your name is Shame?&rdquo; Niko&rsquo;s grip loosened letting the bird stand on his own two feet.<br /><br />The bird brushed the stray white fur off of his hoodie, &ldquo;Yes, I was so named because that is what I am, Nikolas.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What do you mean you&rsquo;re shame, and how the hell do you know my name?&rdquo; Niko asked with honest curiosity, &ldquo;I still haven&rsquo;t even had it changed in the system.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know much about you Nikolas,&rdquo; Shame began walking away, &ldquo;Thought your mind is shattered the past is written clearly on your soul.&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko stood there confused as the crow walked away.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, wait a minute. What&rsquo;s that supposed to mean?&rdquo;<br /><br />-------------------------<br /><br />No&rsquo;sh looked left and then right as he snuck around trying to find a nice quiet place to wait till lunch.<br /><br />&ldquo;Man it&rsquo;s getting so a guy can&rsquo;t even relax around here.&rdquo;<br /><br />He saw an opening and ran towards a room that shouldn&rsquo;t be occupied.<br /><br />&ldquo;Norbert Shante Walker!&rdquo;<br /><br />No&rsquo;sh stopped dead in his tracks and turned around nervously to see his angry mother standing there.<br /><br />&ldquo;H-hi mom&hellip; What are you doing here?&rdquo; he asked with a blush as he noticed a small group of stragglers watching the commotion.<br /><br />&ldquo;The school called and told me you haven&rsquo;t been going to classes for nearly a month,&rdquo; she marched over towards her son who shrunk back with his tail between his legs as she approached.<br /><br />&ldquo;I-I&rsquo;m sorry, mom&hellip; It&rsquo;s just that school is so boring&hellip;&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t care, Norbert. Get your tail to class,&rdquo; she said with her hands on her hips watching as No&rsquo;sh stood there trying to come up with a reply, &ldquo;Now!&rdquo;<br /><br />The green fox shied away from his mother with his ears laying down and his tail still tucked between his legs.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, momma&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />--------------------------<br /><br />The week was slowly dragging on and Zoe was beginning to become accustom to the school and all the sights and smells she had experienced over the last few days. <br /><br />However&hellip;<br /><br />&lsquo;I&rsquo;m so bored&hellip;&rsquo; she thought to herself as she sat in math class.<br /><br />She looked around the room for a moment seeing a majority of the other students just as bored as her. <br /><br />&ldquo;I hope nothing important happens&hellip;&rdquo; she let out a yawn and rested her head on her folded arms to take a nap.<br /><br />------------------------<br /><br />A gentle breeze blew through her fur, as Zoe lay naked beneath a tree on a warm sunny day. She let out a contented sigh as the sun warmed her body and a feminine pink paw gently caressed the fur between her breasts.<br /><br />&ldquo;This is the life&hellip;,&rdquo; she said with a smile, as she looked around seeing a sexy pink ferret beside her as well as many more sexy nude girls playing with each other while waiting their turn to be with Zoe.<br /><br />To her right were a set of rabbit twins, one black the other white, with a golden furred fox, to her left was a sexy girl with wings laying nude between Frankie and their gym teacher. She blushed slightly as the ferret beside her began to nibble on her ear.<br /><br />&ldquo;This is the best dream ever,&rdquo; she said before starting to make out with the ferret.<br /><br />Their hands explored each other&rsquo;s bodies as their tongues danced together. Zoe let out a pleasurable moan as the ferret&rsquo;s tail brushed between her thighs. Zoe playfully nipped at the ferret&rsquo;s lips and began kissing down her body, stopping momentarily to kiss and suck on one nipple and then the other, before leaving a trail of light kisses down the soft fur of the ferret&rsquo;s stomach. Zoe looked up with a mischievous grin as she neared the ferret&rsquo;s nether lips and began teasingly kissing her thighs drawing ever closer to her longing core.<br /><br />Zoe tongue danced along the willing folds of the ferret causing her to cry out in pleasure. The mink grew more excited with each sound failed to notice as a shadow fell across their hot sweaty forms until she felt something big and hard pressed against her hot cunny. She nervously looked behind her and upon seeing Niko behind her, she returned to her other lover and let out a startled gasp as she was filled with pleasure and her face was forced into the ferret&rsquo;s welcoming center.<br /><br />Zoe mewed in pleasure as Niko repeatedly thrust into her as her muffled cries were echoed by the girl her face was buried in. She could feel it building up, the pleasure everything was leading to. Her body was rocked with her orgasm as her mouth was flooded with the juices of the ferret and her womb was filled with Niko&rsquo;s essence.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mmm, that was great&hellip;&rdquo; she thought aloud as Niko removed himself from her and was replaced by something just as long but way more active. She let out another moan and looked as the winged girl had her head between the mink&rsquo;s thighs licking the remains of Niko&rsquo;s essence up with a tongue she hoped was as real as it felt right now.<br /><br />All the while, a pathetic whimpering sound was coming from above them. Zoe looked up from her playmate with a wicked smile. Dangling from the tree above them was Edna bound in leather with her hands behind her back and her mouth gagged and her other holes filled with toys as big as her arm.<br /><br />&ldquo;Are you enjoying the show, you little slut?&rdquo; Zoe pressed a button on a device next to her and a loud buzzing filled the air accompanied by the muffled cries of both pleasure and pain from Edna as the massive toys filling her holes began to vibrate before a loud ringing sounded.<br /><br />Zoe shot up in her seat blushing as the bell woke her from her dream. She blushed an even deeper crimson as she heard giggling from others who were leaving the class and realized her hand had found its way into her skirt while she had slept.<br /><br />-----------------------<br /><br />Zoe was burning with embarrassment as she made her way through the halls, she didn&rsquo;t know weather to go to the nurse&rsquo;s office to hide or to attempt to finish the day up.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, Zoe.&rdquo;<br /><br />The mink stiffened up and looked behind her to see Niko walking towards her.<br /><br />&ldquo;H-hi Niko&hellip;&rdquo; Zoe stammered out as the fox approached.<br /><br />&ldquo;What&rsquo;s the matter with you?&rdquo; he asked her with concern in his voice, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re all red&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Um&hellip;&rdquo; Zoe blushed even more as she tried talking to Niko, &ldquo;N-nothing&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You sure?&rdquo; Niko asked before he sniffed at the air, &ldquo;You smell different today&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />The next thing Niko knew he was laying on the ground and Zoe was nowhere to be seen.<br /><br />&ldquo;What happened?&rdquo;<br /><br />---------------------------<br /><br />Zoe sat in the nurse&rsquo;s office with a thermometer in her mouth. She had come there because it seemed like a good place to wait out the rest of the day.<br /><br />&ldquo;There doesn&rsquo;t seem to be anything wrong with you, besides being a little warm,&rdquo; the nurse said while taking the thermometer from the mink&rsquo;s mouth and looking at it.<br /><br />Zoe pouted at the nurse, &ldquo;Can I stay here for awhile, pretty please? My tummy feels funny and&hellip; um&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I guess I can let you rest for a little while&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you very much, ma&rsquo;am,&rdquo; Zoe said, as she lay down happy to be somewhere where nobody would find her for a while.<br /><br />-----------------------------<br /><br />Zoe let out a yawn and sat up. She felt much better.<br /><br />&ldquo;I musta fallen asleep&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You did, Miss Wilder,&rdquo; a voice came from nearby accompanied by the sound of keys clicking on a keyboard.<br /><br />Zoe looked towards the voice and saw a slightly familiar red spotted leopard sitting at the nurse&rsquo;s desk with his laptop.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re that one guy, right?&rdquo; she asked, &ldquo;From my first day&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&ldquo;Sam, and yes, I met you on your first day&hellip;&rdquo; he smiled at her, &ldquo;You are a very fascinating subject, Miss Wilder.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe felt uneasiness in the pit of her stomach and looked around for the nurse.<br /><br />&ldquo;She stepped out for a moment,&rdquo; Sam said returning to his laptop, &ldquo;Now if you wouldn&rsquo;t mind could you put your underwear back on? It is very hard to concentrate with your scent in the air.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why were my panties off to begin with?&rdquo; Zoe began to panic, &ldquo;W-what did you do to me?&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Sam didn&rsquo;t look up, &ldquo;Well due to the data I had collected, the scent, the temperature, the girls talking about what happened in math class&hellip; I figured I&rsquo;d see if you were in heat or not.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-you what?!&rdquo; Zoe felt sick to her stomach and slunk into a corner looking at the leopard with fear and disgust in her eyes from behind her tail.<br /><br />Sam held up a thermometer, &ldquo;I decided to check your temperature, and since you were asleep it seemed to be the best time&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe screamed causing Sam to quickly save what he was doing and slam his laptop shut, &ldquo;Please don&rsquo;t scream, it never looks good&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe screamed again and Sam&rsquo;s ears lay down against his head as he gathered his stuff and ran leaving Zoe shaking behind her tail with tears running down her face. A moment latter the nurse came running back into the room.<br /><br />&ldquo;What happened?&rdquo; she asked looking at the scared mink.<br /><br />&ldquo;I-I woke up from my nap a-and there was a boy in here&hellip;&rdquo; Zoe sniffled and buried her face in her tail, &ldquo;H-he&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What, honey?&rdquo; the nurse asked with concern in her voice.<br /><br />Zoe sniffled again and thought of what happened, &ldquo;H-he&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />She remembered her past and how nobody ever believed her when she was little.<br /><br />&ldquo;He scared me that&rsquo;s all&hellip;&rdquo; Zoe looked up from her tail with another sniffle and dried her tears with her tail, &ldquo;H-he said I might be going into heat&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Would you like me to check?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;N-no thank you&hellip;&rdquo; Zoe blushed as she realized she still had her panties in her hand, &ldquo;Um&hellip; would it be ok if I called my guardian and went home?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Really I shouldn&rsquo;t but&hellip;&rdquo; the nurse ruffled her hair, &ldquo;I think you&rsquo;ve had a hard enough day, so go ahead.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you&hellip;&rdquo; Zoe smiled and dialed the phone.<br /><br />After a few rings&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;Pouncefield Family Medical Clinic, how may I help you?&rdquo; a familiar voice came over the line.<br /><br />&ldquo;H-hey, Frankie&hellip; can you come get me from school?&rdquo; Zoe said with a sniffle.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah hold on a sec&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />It was silent for a moment on the other side.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, Nick, I&rsquo;m taking an early lunch, something&rsquo;s wrong with my cousin.&rdquo;<br /><br />A moment later, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be right there, Z.&rdquo;<br /><br />------------------------------<br /><br />&ldquo;So what happened?&rdquo; Frankie asked as she and Zoe drove back to the clinic.<br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t wanna talk about it&hellip;&rdquo; Zoe looked out the window, as they drove, &ldquo;Why can&rsquo;t I just go home for the rest of the day?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Because I have work to do, and you aren&rsquo;t sick,&rdquo; they pulled into the clinic, &ldquo;So you&rsquo;re gonna help me out for the rest of the day.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe pouted as she followed Frankie in, &ldquo;But I don&rsquo;t wanna work, I wanna go home and play video games&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We all have things that we&rsquo;d rather do,&rdquo; Frankie led the way through the waiting room into the receptionist area, &ldquo;besides if you work hard I&rsquo;ll get you something special for dessert tonight.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe perked up at that, &ldquo;Can I have some mint ice cream?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sure,&rdquo; Frankie said as she walked back to tell Nick she was back and that she had brought an assistant with her.<br /><br />Zoe bounced around slightly before she sat down, &ldquo;Maybe today isn&rsquo;t as bad as I thought.&rdquo;<br /><br />-----------------------------<br /><br />Niko let out a defeated sigh; he had been looking for Zoe since before lunch and hadn&rsquo;t been able to find a trace of her by the end of the day.<br /><br />&lsquo;Where could she be?&rsquo; he thought to himself.<br /><br />&ldquo;What&rsquo;s your deal Frosty?&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko looked up and saw No&rsquo;sh with his arms loaded down with books and papers.<br /><br />&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t find Zoe&hellip;&rdquo; Niko then looked at the green fox and tried not to laugh as No&rsquo;sh struggled under the weight of the load, &ldquo;What&rsquo;s with you?&rdquo;<br /><br />No&rsquo;sh looked around and spotted an open locker, &ldquo;My mom came to school, so I had to go to class&hellip;&rdquo; He threw his unwanted load into the locker and slammed it shut, hoping that it didn&rsquo;t belong to anybody he knew, &ldquo;You have any idea how much homework piles up when you skip nearly a month of classes?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No clue,&rdquo; Niko said and then let out another sigh.<br /><br />&ldquo;Haven&rsquo;t even known her a full week and you&rsquo;re already this bad huh?&rdquo; the green fox asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;I just wanna see her,&rdquo; Niko said with a blush, &ldquo;Is that so bad?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh answered with a grin, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s so bad that you&rsquo;re becoming a wussy who gives up just because you can&rsquo;t find her in school.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;But we still have our last class&hellip;&rdquo; the white fox said while looking at his friend.<br /><br />&ldquo;Skip it,&rdquo; Niko looked at No&rsquo;sh shocked, &ldquo;You heard me, Snowball, let&rsquo;s skip the rest of the day and go looking for your girlfriend.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;B-but&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;But nothing,&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh squatted near Niko and grinned, &ldquo;If you really love her, then you shouldn&rsquo;t be afraid to do something stupid to see her.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Who says I love her?&rdquo; Niko growled defensively as he blushed.<br /><br />&ldquo;I know you, and ever since you met her you&rsquo;ve been goofy,&rdquo; the green fox said with a smile as he stood back up, &ldquo;Now lets get our tails outta here and go find your girlfriend.&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko stood and followed No&rsquo;sh who glanced around as they snuck out a side entrance. Unbeknownst to them two pairs of eyes were watching them.<br /><br />&ldquo;So shall we begin out game?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I just need to gather my pieces and then we can.&rdquo;<br /><br />---------------------------------<br /><br />&ldquo;How the hell do you do that?&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh asked while driving his moped<br /><br />&ldquo;Do what?&rdquo; Niko looked back from where he sat crouched on the headlight sniffing for Zoe.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sit like that, I mean I could understand if you were a bird or something&hellip;&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh let out a sigh as Niko looked at him strangely, &ldquo;Never mind.&rdquo;<br /><br />They drove for a while in silence turning down many streets with Niko constantly sniffing.<br /><br />&ldquo;Do you even have a clue where you&rsquo;re going?&rdquo; the green fox asked as he glanced down at his gas gauge.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nope,&rdquo; was Niko&rsquo;s response.<br /><br />No&rsquo;sh let out a sigh and kept driving knowing that he was doing this for his best friend&rsquo;s love life.<br /><br />Suddenly a shot rang out and No&rsquo;sh felt a great deal of pain in his side that caused him to wreck.<br /><br />&ldquo;What happened, man?&rdquo; Niko landed on his feet and ran to the side of No&rsquo;sh.<br /><br />&ldquo;Some bastard shot me!&rdquo; he shouted from where he lay beside his moped, &ldquo;A-am I gonna die?&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko looked at No&rsquo;sh with worry until he noticed the bright purple explosion of paint right above his kidney, &ldquo;I think you&rsquo;ll live&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re lucky, Norbert,&rdquo; they heard a voice say with a laugh and looked back to see a figure standing there with a paintball gun resting on his shoulder.<br /><br />&ldquo;I could&rsquo;ve gone for a headshot,&rdquo; a panther in a St. Rutherford school uniform said, his saffron eyes shone with a twisted joy at the pain he caused that was mirrored by his brace filled smile.<br /><br />Niko let out a grown, &ldquo;Who the hell are you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you ask Norby?&rdquo; the panther asked while pointing the gun at them.<br /><br />&ldquo;Blow me, Droz,&rdquo; said No&rsquo;sh as he stood up holding his side in pain.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh please, Norby, if I remember right you&rsquo;re the one who enjoyed doing that,&rdquo; the panther said with a cruel grin, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m surprised you haven&rsquo;t done it with him yet.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What the hell do you want?&rdquo; Niko asked as he got into a defensive stance.<br /><br />Droz smiled his steely grin and spun his gun, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re going to play a little game.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Go fuck yourself,&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh let out his own growl, &ldquo;I know the twisted games you play, and we ain&rsquo;t gonna play.&rdquo;<br /><br />Droz pouted slightly, &ldquo;Oh poo, I guess I&rsquo;ll just have to make due with that pretty little mink then.&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko let out a war cry and lunged at the panther only to hit nothing and receive a gun butt across his jaw.<br /><br />&ldquo;What the hell did you do with Zoe you freak?!&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh shouted as Niko stumbled back.<br /><br />&ldquo;If you play the game then nothing,&rdquo; Droz&rsquo;s face darkened and his eyes seemed to glow a sickly yellow, &ldquo;but if you don&rsquo;t then there&rsquo;s no telling what my associate will do.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine, I&rsquo;ll play,&rdquo; Niko spit out some blood, &ldquo;But if there&rsquo;s so much as a scratch on her, I&rsquo;ll rip you apart.&rdquo;<br /><br />----------------------------------<br /><br />Zoe let out a sigh, it hadn&rsquo;t even been an hour and she was already bored to death.<br /><br />&ldquo;Can I go home yet, Frankie?&rdquo; the young mink asked with a pout.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nope,&rdquo; Frankie didn&rsquo;t even look up from the small bit of filing she was doing, &ldquo;You gotta stay till I get off, or you don&rsquo;t get your ice cream.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s not fair,&rdquo; Zoe said with a huff, &ldquo;I wanted to go home early.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why, were you hoping to see your boyfriend after school or something?&rdquo; Frankie asked with a grin.<br /><br />&ldquo;No, nothing like that!&rdquo; the mink shouted in embarrassment, &ldquo;I just had a hard day at school and wanted to go home, take a shower, and sleep.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh come on, Z,&rdquo; Frankie gave her cousin a knowing grin, &ldquo;You would have called that fox up to come play.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what are you talking about?&rdquo; she asked defensively.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re in heat,&rdquo; Frankie said with a smile.<br /><br />&ldquo;I-I dunno what you&rsquo;re talking about,&rdquo; she said as she blushed and hid behind her tail.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, come on,&rdquo; the ferret looked at Zoe smugly, &ldquo;I can smell it, I&rsquo;m sure Dr. Lupis can smell it, hell, I bet your fox could smell it to.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe buried herself in her tail, &ldquo;D-don&rsquo;t be nasty, Frankie.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;There&rsquo;s nothing nasty about growing up, Z,&rdquo; Frankie pulled Zoe&rsquo;s tail out of the way, &ldquo;I just ask that you don&rsquo;t sleep with Niko while you&rsquo;re in heat.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe turned even redder through her cream-colored fur, &ldquo;W-what makes you think I&rsquo;d sleep with him?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh please, you&rsquo;re a girl in heat and he&rsquo;s a cute boy, at least from what you&rsquo;ve told me,&rdquo; Frankie ruffled her cousin&rsquo;s hair, &ldquo;You&rsquo;d be a weird girl if you didn&rsquo;t atleast fantasies about it.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe blushed but couldn&rsquo;t help but grin slightly.<br /><br />&ldquo;I knew it,&rdquo; Frankie smiled back, &ldquo;just don&rsquo;t have sex anytime soon, I don&rsquo;t want to have to skin your boyfriend.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Gee thanks, Frankie,&rdquo; Zoe said with a look, &ldquo;I coulda gotten a mom answer from any adult.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ok fine,&rdquo; the ferret grinned, &ldquo;the hand, the mouth, or the tail.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe looked at her cousin in confusion.<br /><br />&ldquo;If you decide to yiff him anyways,&rdquo; Frankie smiled wickedly at the blush that spread once again on Zoe, &ldquo;those are the three best places when you&rsquo;re in heat that won&rsquo;t get you knocked up.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;W-wha&hellip;&rdquo; Zoe trailed off as she hid behind her tail again.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure your fox would love any of them,&rdquo; Frankie thought for a moment, &ldquo;But if you want to give him a special treat, let him take you in the tail hole.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I-I dunno if I could do that,&rdquo; Zoe fixed her skirt in nervousness.<br /><br />&ldquo;Trust me, it feels good after you get used to it,&rdquo; Frankie said with a smile, &ldquo;I know I like it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;God, Frankie, I didn&rsquo;t need to know.&rdquo;<br /><br />The two girls were so lost in their conversation that they didn&rsquo;t even notice the imposing white figure watching them from the door, or hear the hiss as his tongue tasted the air.<br /><br />---------------------------------<br /><br />&ldquo;Serpentine!&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh shouted as a shot rang out and struck the ground beside him.<br /><br />Niko and No&rsquo;sh ran through the streets with their ears perked up waiting for the next shot to be fired.<br /><br />&ldquo;What the hell is wrong with this guy?&rdquo; Niko asked as he veered left to throw off any incoming shots, &ldquo;You seem to know him.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll tell ya later, Niko,&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh went right, &ldquo;but right now we gotta avoid that psycho&rsquo;s sniping.&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko dove to the side of the road as an explosion of green appeared where he once was.<br /><br />----------------------------------<br /><br />&ldquo;The rules are simple,&rdquo; Droz smiled from where he aimed his gun, &ldquo;They have till nightfall to reach Zoe, while I try to pick them off. They are allowed help, but just so you know, they become part of the game and viable targets too&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />A fur wearing a long white coat stood behind him, &ldquo;Very well, Darrius, but remember you aren&rsquo;t to kill them.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know,&rdquo; he took another shot intentionally missing, &ldquo;but I still get to take a prize from anyone I take out, right?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;As you wish, just don&rsquo;t disfigure them,&rdquo; the coat wearing fur began walking away, &ldquo;It really messes with my research when they are not whole.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And I really wanted to mount Norby&rsquo;s tail on my wall&hellip;&rdquo; the panther let out a sigh as he prepared to fire again and vanished.<br /><br />----------------------------------<br /><br />A shot sounded again and a paintball exploded in front of Niko&rsquo;s bare feet.<br /><br />&ldquo;What the hell!&rdquo; Niko stumbled and rolled towards a bush in somebody&rsquo;s yard.<br /><br />&ldquo;I dunno, maybe he has a few buddies waiting for us,&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh stopped and looked around with paranoia in his eyes.<br /><br />&ldquo;If that&rsquo;s the case we need some backup of our own&hellip;&rdquo; Niko looked around as he stood up and didn&rsquo;t see anybody, &ldquo;Why&rsquo;s there never a cop around when you need one?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Do you honestly think they would be of any help?&rdquo; the foxes looked up at the sound of the voice and saw a black bird perched on a streetlight.<br /><br />Niko looked at the bird in confusion, &ldquo;You&rsquo;re that Shame guy ain&rsquo;t you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sha, if you don&rsquo;t mind,&rdquo; the bird replied as he stretched his wings and leapt from the light.<br /><br />&ldquo;Huh, who&rsquo;s this guy?&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh nervously asked as his ears twitched waiting for another shot.<br /><br />&ldquo;Some bird from school,&rdquo; Niko sniffed at the air trying to find Zoe&rsquo;s scent to make the game stop.<br /><br />A shot sounded in a new direction and in the blink of an eye, Niko saw a hoodie flying through the air beside him and a splat as a paintball exploded in it.<br /><br />&ldquo;If you want to win, you should pay attention to the strange Cheshire cat you seem to be facing,&rdquo; Sha said, as he stood there bare from the waist up.<br /><br />&ldquo;How&rsquo;d you do that?&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh asked in shock.<br /><br />&ldquo;Your opponent is special, so is his spirit,&rdquo; Sha said as he picked up his discarded sweatshirt.<br /><br />&ldquo;Why&rsquo;d you help me?&rdquo; Niko asked as the bird stood up, &ldquo;I nearly beat you up earlier.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Does it matter?&rdquo; Sha turned and began to walk away, &ldquo;If you are going to find Zoe, then you should look for her Sentry.&rdquo;<br /><br />No&rsquo;sh watched as the bird left, expecting another shot to come, but there was none, the only thing that seemed out of place on the bird was a white patch of feathers in the middle of his back that looked like an eye.<br /><br />&ldquo;What he mean by that?&rdquo; the green fox asked as he looked around wondering why they were still standing around with a gun-toting maniac after them.<br /><br />Niko stood and thought for a while till a shot was fired and whizzed by his ear.<br /><br />&ldquo;What is wrong with this guy anyways?&rdquo; Niko seemed to effortlessly dodge the rapid shots fired at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Are you goin all Neo, on me Niko?&rdquo; asked No&rsquo;sh from where he hid behind a tree.<br /><br />&ldquo;I dunno&hellip;&rdquo; the shots stopped, &ldquo;Who&rsquo;s Neo?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Never mind&hellip;&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh came out and looked at the paint-splattered street, &ldquo;Any ideas where Zoe is?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;With her cousin would be my guess,&rdquo; Niko took off running.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, wait for me!&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh chased after him.<br /><br />----------------------------------<br /><br />Zoe fidgeted in her seat. She couldn&rsquo;t stay much longer, school was nearly over and she wanted to hang out with the few friends she had.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m bored,&rdquo; she whined to Frankie who was reclining with her feet on the desk.<br /><br />Frankie sat up and spun her chair a little, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a slow day, not many people made appointments.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe hopped out of her chair and began to walk off.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to the bathroom,&rdquo; she said as she walked out of the reception area.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t do anything bad. Z,&rdquo; Frankie grinned wickedly, &ldquo;I know you&rsquo;re in heat but it&rsquo;s still a public restroom.&rdquo;<br /><br />Zoe blushed and ran to the bathroom leaving a chuckling Frankie all alone until a hiss was heard from the waiting room.<br /><br />&ldquo;Excuse me miss,&rdquo; Frankie turned to see a very tall albino reptile standing on the other side of the glass.<br /><br />&ldquo;Welcome to Pouncefield Family Medical Clinic,&rdquo; Frankie said with a smile, &ldquo;How may I help you sir?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Is that where I am?&rdquo; the hissing voice of tall albino sounded, &ldquo;I guess I&rsquo;m more lost then I thought.&rdquo;<br /><br />Frankie looked at him in confusion, &ldquo;How&rsquo;d you not know where you are?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m new in town and I&rsquo;ve yet to have anybody walk me around,&rdquo; Frankie looked up to the retiles face and saw that his eyes were as red as any other albino&rsquo;s except they were kind of cloudy white in some areas.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, I&rsquo;m sorry sir, I didn&rsquo;t realize you were blind,&rdquo; Frankie blushed slightly, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m Frankie Sentry, if you need anything don&rsquo;t hesitate to ask&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you very much, but if I can just rest here and get my bearings I should be able to find my way home.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Of course sir, rest as long as you need to.&rdquo;<br /><br />----------------------------------<br /><br />Droz sat back as he meticulously went about reloading his paintball gun.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just like old times, Norby,&rdquo; he said out loud, &ldquo;Soon I&rsquo;ll shoot all over your tail just like when we were together.&rdquo;<br /><br />----------------------------------<br /><br />&ldquo;Up till three years ago we were best friends,&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh ran through the streets following Niko.<br /><br />&ldquo;I guess it didn&rsquo;t end well,&rdquo; Niko was focused on finding Zoe again and was barely paying attention.<br /><br />The green fox looked around wondering why they weren&rsquo;t being shot at, &ldquo;You could say that&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />A shot rang out and clipped the tip of No&rsquo;sh&rsquo;s tail.<br /><br />&ldquo;Tell me later, I gotta get to Zoe before something happens,&rdquo; Niko picked up speed leaving No&rsquo;sh struggling to keep up.<br /><br />&ldquo;Man,&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh stopped trying, &ldquo;I should really cut back on smoking&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It couldn&rsquo;t hurt, Norby,&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh stiffened as he heard the voice from behind him and turned only to come face to face with a gun barrel.<br /><br />&ldquo;Aww, fuck me&hellip;&rdquo; No&rsquo;sh&rsquo;s tail drooped.<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe later Norby,&rdquo; Droz slammed the butt of his gun into the green fox&rsquo;s abdomen knocking the wind out of him.<br /><br />--------------------------------<br /><br />Niko found himself in the parking lot of the clinic. It took him a moment to realize that the entire time he had been running there hadn&rsquo;t been a shot fired.<br /><br />&ldquo;It can&rsquo;t be this easy,&rdquo; the white fox said as he looked at the clinic and didn&rsquo;t see anything strange, &ldquo;Right No&rsquo;sh?&rdquo;<br /><br />There was no response.<br /><br />&ldquo;No&rsquo;sh?&rdquo; Niko turned looking for his companion, &ldquo;Where&rsquo;d you go?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure he&rsquo;ll show up eventually, Missster Foxxglove,&rdquo; a shudder ran down Niko&rsquo;s back and his fur stood on end at that hissing voice.<br /><br />Walking from the front door of the clinic was tall reptile, his scales as white as bone, his eyes as red as blood, arms and legs so lanky they seemed to be an afterthought by whatever being had created him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-you,&rdquo; Niko stammered as he felt panic running through him, &ldquo;I-I-I thought you were just a nightmare&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />The reptile let out another his hearing the fear in the fox&rsquo;s voice, &ldquo;I am more then a nightmare, Misster Foxxglove,&rdquo; his tongue snaked out tasting that fear and a hood flared open around his head.<br /><br />Niko could feel the urge to run biting at the back of his head but also his anger driving him forward, &ldquo;What did you do with Zoe?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If you can beat me you will see,&rdquo; the blind snake struck with blinding speed, sending Niko flying back.<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s not what the other guy said,&rdquo; Niko staggered to his feet, &ldquo;He said that if we made it here then I&rsquo;d get to see Zoe and nothing would happen.&rdquo;<br /><br />The snake began to laugh a creepy hissing laugh as he stared at Niko with his blind eyes.<br /><br />&ldquo;Do I look like that cat to you?&rdquo; the snake struck again sending Niko sailing into a parked car.<br /><br />A growl came from Niko as he staggered to his feet and glared at the snake with eyes burning with rage.<br /><br />&ldquo;Get the hell out of the way you freak!&rdquo; Niko attacked the snake only to be countered at every move before being sent sliding away with a strike to the chest.<br /><br />&ldquo;You are so pathetic, Missster Foxxglove,&rdquo; the snake stood glaring at Niko with his blind eyes, &ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t fight like you mean it, I&rsquo;ll go after your mate.&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko let out another growl, &ldquo;If you so much as bring up Zoe again, I&rsquo;ll rip you apart!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yesss, please do, Missster Foxxglove,&rdquo; the snake entered a fighting stance and smiled, &ldquo;Zoe will be a delicious meal after I kill you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Something in Niko snapped and his eyes began to glow red as he fell to all fours and lunged at the snake.<br /><br />The snake&rsquo;s tongue flicked out moments before his arm did and closed around Niko&rsquo;s neck.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yess, that&rsquo;s exactly what I wanted,&rdquo; the snake laughed as he tightened his grip on his prey, &ldquo;Show me the rage of the beast!&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko sank his claws and teeth into the snake&rsquo;s arm drawing blood.<br /><br />&ldquo;Such wild untamed aggression,&rdquo; the snake laughed as he slammed Niko to the street and stared into his red eyes, &ldquo;You are far from what you once were.&rdquo;<br /><br />Niko yelped in pain and felt everything going dark, as he was unable to look away from the snake eyes.<br /><br />-------------------------------<br /><br />&ldquo;Did I miss anything, Frankie?&rdquo; Zoe walked back to her seat.<br /><br />&ldquo;Not really,&rdquo; Frankie looked up from some paperwork and then looked around the waiting room, &ldquo;there was some blind guy here, but I guess he left&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />At that moment there was a loud crash and an unconscious fox came flying through the front door.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh my god, Niko!&rdquo; Zoe ran over to the battered form and recognized it was Niko, &ldquo;What happened to you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t touch him Z,&rdquo; Frankie grabbed hold of the mink, &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t know how bad he&rsquo;s hurt.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;B-but, I can&rsquo;t just let him lie there,&rdquo; Zoe strained against Frankie&rsquo;s grip.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not asking you to,&rdquo; Frankie pushed Zoe towards the back, &ldquo;go get Dr. Lupis, if you wanna help.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;R-right&hellip;&rdquo; the mink ran to the back to get Nick as Frankie kneeled over the fox.<br /><br />&ldquo;What happened to you?&rdquo; the ferret brushed what appeared to be clay from his muzzle.</span>",
