A/N: Day 5/Tuesday in Bunnyburrow

Chapter 42: Forceful Demands

Judy wants me to call Finnick now, I just called my mother. I say, "Nope, not doing it."

Her reaction is nearly instantaneous. She unleashes the power of desire within her, her wings clearly show. She carries me to the bed forcefully and pings me down. "I don't recall giving you a choice," she says dangerously, reminding me of the precarious situation that I am in. "Now, are you going to obey?"

I avoid answering the question and look around the room. The room is filled with books and games, it seems to be a kit's room. I guess this explains why this bed is rather small. I reply, "Who's room are we in?"

The question catches Judy off-guard, she stops trying to force me to call Finnick for now at least. I can see a bit of despair within her eyes before she resumes her fiery disposition. "Stop trying to get out of Nick. You are going to call Finnick and that is that."

"No, and you can't make me." Informing my mother is one thing, but informing Finnick is another, nothing good can come of it at all.

Judy doesn't react well to my response at all. She slaps me hard on the cheek. I feel pain coursing through my body. "Easy there, Carrots, no need to get so abusive." I could stop her with the remote I have but I am afraid that she would go back to her state with no confidence at all. It's probably best to reason with her.

Her abuse continues, she continues slapping me. "Will you call Finnick now?" She asks.

I am adamant that there's nothing she can do to change my mind. "No, and you can't make me."

She decides to slap my other cheek multiple times since the one that she has, has a bit of an impression of a rabbit's paw. "Will you listen now?" She asks with desperation.

Despite how much force she uses, I won't comply. I refuse to comply with her request. "No," I reply with defiance.

She looks at me and asks, "What have I done?" A hint of remorse is heard in her voice.

"You used excessive force," I reply through the pain.

"Nick won't you please call Finnick? I can't do this anymore," She says. I can feel the desperation in her voice.

"No, as I've said, I'm not going to change my mind regardless of what you do."

Who's will, will bend first? She does something unexpected. "Fine, I'm going to call Finnick instead." She stops pinning me and prepares to dial Finnick.

I beg, "I'll call Finnick now, there's no need to do that."

She replies coldly, "You've had your chance." She dials Finnick. "Hello, Finnick? I have some news to tell you, Nick is alive and hasn't bothered to contact you. He might not be alive for very much longer; would you like to see him?"

"What's your game bunny rabbit?" Finnick responds, "We saw you kill Nick at the hospital."

"As I've said before, he is immortal. Here, you can look at him and see for yourself."

Finnick laughs. "Nick, you look ridiculous. Did a bunny rabbit do all that to you?"

"Yes, she did. Can you save me please?" I reply, much to my dismay Finncik doesn't seem to care.

"You probably deserve this," he responds.

"You don't even care about me?" I ask.

"Don't you dare say that we don't care about you. We visited you in the hospital since we learned that you were there for being burned. Judy killed you right in front of us. She got arrested for murder and you somehow supposedly came back to life. Is there a reason why you didn't contact us at all?" I've never heard such rage in Finnick's voice.

I reply trying to justify my actions. "I was busy."

"Too busy for all of us? Really? I expected better of you Nick. When are you going to drag that fox here?" Finnick asks.

"We'll come when we first have time. I have set a big plan in motion after all," Judy replies.

Finally, the phone conversation is over. I say, "Now that I've called everyone you wanted me to, what now?"

"Let me lick all the pain away," Judy replies.

That leads to some less than innocent activities. Her tongue feels exquisite upon my face. It really makes me want to get in trouble again with her.

After our activities and cleaning up, the same couldn't be said for the scent of the room though. I don't think that's going to go away.

It just so happens that our activities took long enough that the kits are about to arrive home. Now, it's time for Judy to talk to Jennifer, now, she has to do something she doesn't want and I will take delight in it.

We track Jennifer down, she's just outside the house. She's currently wearing a pink shirt and blue pants similar to what Judy would wear before our rather less than successful camping trip. Her appearance would be similar to Judy if not for her red eyes and her lack of blue marks. I still remember the day she tried to duplicate Judy's appearance. To my surprise, it's Jennifer who apologizes first.

She says, "Judy, I am so, so sorry. I thought you were gone or I would have never made a move on him."

It takes a while for Judy to reply, "I understand. It's okay."

I couldn't believe it, no arguments, nothing outrageous, no fights to the death. It was just normal. That wasn't what I expect at all. Judy asks, "Nick, how could you possibly mistake me for her?"

"You know how difficult it is when being apart. You know what she did," I reply.

Jennifer chimes in, "Yes, how could you mistake me for her?"

Thankfully, that unsuspecting comment was enough to enrage Judy. Her wings clearly show as she taps into the power of desire. "Back off, this is MY fox." Thankfully, Jennifer leaves the area.

I feel fear and delight at Judy's possessiveness of me. She whispers in my ear. "Tonight, you're going to know every inch of my body, so you will never make this mistake again." She looks my in the eyes. "Are we clear?"

"Y-y-yes," I stammer as I gaze into her eyes.

That immediate matter is dealt with. Now, it's time for us to look for the Kerfluffle. Judy does need to socialize with everyone after all. That was my request towards her and I hope she will agree to it. We go back into the house, back to the kit's room that we were in… apparently, we didn't do a good job of cleaning up and it still smelled like the scent of fox.

Foxes create magical powers and all that, or that's what the kits have been told at least. Sam feels extremely happy that his room is blessed. That is disturbing on so many levels but I don't feel like it's something that I should bring up.

Dinner proceeds without incident and we keep up this façade that foxes can give magical powers to a rabbit. Members of the order still live here and are hosted without complaint. I suppose nothing could ruin this day.

The Prime calls for a gathering, well, the ones in this house at least. We are going to watch a new video. Oh joy, how I forgot about those. I guess I'm thankful that the Hopps' family gives us privacy, the seven of us are huddled around a computer.

The video plays, another gruesome torture scene of Comet and his mate, a female deer. The proud lion now has only one remaining limb. All the others have been amputated. They must live in constant pain; all of their wounds are cauterized instead of medically treated. The doe is no better, only one remaining leg. Both of them have various stab wounds, whip marks, and burns on their body. The room itself isn't sanitary and you can see the blood that both of them contributed over their capitivity.

The video begins with a slow and methodical cutting of both of their limbs. Ferrus, as I have come to know him, laughs. He's a brown rabbit wearing a black uniform and their torturer. They're bound and can't escape, as the cutting commences they scream. Ferrus proudly states, "Not even your own order will save you. Isn't this glorious? All you have to do is reveal the secrets of how your order gets their powers and this will end."

It's amazing yet terrifying even upon the verge of death they wouldn't reveal the secrets. Loyalty to the Prime seems absolute. "You can't hold out forever. Your leader has given me the both of you to play with for eternity."

A lie, a lie in order to break their minds to try to bend them to his will. A pact was made but they only would suffer for sixty days at most. A reply is heard from Comet. "If that is his will then so be it."

Tortured, without knowing if they were forgotten are their fates.

Judy is aghast after the video. "How could you do this? HOW? They are our own."

"Yes, they are, they are also overconfident and thought they could do anything. They tried, they failed, they are sentenced to torture by them for sixty days. I requested the public not to interfere," the Prime says. The tiger and the first of the Howlerborne that watches over the entire organization. The only one without a pair.

"This is wrong, they should be freed, they are one of us," Judy says. She continues, "Nick and I will free them from their captivity."

The Prime doesn't rebuke her at all. He simply says, "You are welcome to try, if you fail, that too will be your fate and I'll leave you both there for ninety days. Try, if you want, you will not receive public assistance or assistance from us."

The order scatters again to various parts of the house because the video is finished. Judy and I go to her room.

"Nick, we have to try to free them." She demands.

"No, we don't, we follow the Prime's lead. The conflict isn't worth it," I say.

"But you saw the video."

"Yes, and far more than you ever have, that wasn't the first you know. It's his reasoning that it serves as a reminder to us that in this world, we aren't invincible with all of our powers."

"Fine, if you don't want to save them, then you better not fail Bunny Geography."

Oh, she was completely serious about that part... I guess I better study.

A/N: Bunny Geography makes me cringe but I also thought like I must include it. Reviews appreciated.
