Inner Animal

Chapter Eight: Nightmares

Aron was in a metal room with two doors on each side. He didn't really know where he was, are why he was there. All he knows is that he has a giant glass window in front of him and a wheelchair for him to sit on. So he got up from the cold metal floor and sat down on the chair.
"There's a shadow on the wall."
Aron didn't know where that voice came from. He looked at the entire room and found nothing, but a shadow on the right wall. Wait what! Aron turned back around to see that the shadow was gone. The voice was right. There really was a shadow on the wall. Maybe the voice is trying to help him in this creepy place.
"There's a figure in the hall."
Aron looked in the right hall and saw nothing, but when he looked in the left he saw a tall slim black figure smiling at him, then ran away. Aron felt a feeling he hasn't felt since he was a kid. He was scared for the first time in awhile.
"Keep your wits and stay alive."
Stay alive? That's what he's been doing forever! Aron wanted to punch this voice. Keep his wits? He will show that voice who has more wits then the other.
"Bet you wish you had a nine to five."
Nine to five? Is this a job, because if it is it's a horrible job. He would quit in a second if he could, but sadly it looks like he's stuck here for a while.
"There's a stranger in us as."
Well, yeah technically, we are all strangers to someone we never met before. He really didn't get what the voice was getting at there.
"Ever hair is on its end."
The voice was right. Ever single one of his feathers and hair is on its end. He was on the edge of his seat, about to fall. He was scared to death of this spooky place.
"Felling your adrenaline?"
Well yeah! That stupid voice is about to get a lot of beating. Then Aron remembered something. It's just a voice.
"You can keep away the creeps."
Creeps? What creeps? Is it talking about that shadow and figure he saw earlier.
"Safely from your swivel seat."
He totally forgot about his wheelchair. It looked like a stool, but with a black cousin on top of it. He move the seat back and fourth for a while. He was having to much fun with it. It totally made forget about.....
"Somethings crawling through the vents!"
The voice screamed this time. Almost like it actually cares for him. He jumped up from his seat then stared at the vent. Then a pair of yellow eyes stare at him with a big grin that made Aron shuddered. He grab the table next to him and threw it at the figure, but it just punch the table and made it split in two. Aron, now really scared, fell down on his butt and scooted towards the nearest conner. Then the figure step out of the vent to reveal its true form.
It was a yellow bunny that was fairly tall and slim. She was wearing a bright pink shirt with a cute picture of a bunny on it. She was wearing short shorts and looked so dang hot. She was also wearing glasses which made her look better in Aron's case. Then it hit him. He has seen this bunny before. It was Desire! The bunny he dropped of the cliff. How is she alive!?
Then Garret, Damon, and Roper came in the room and all simile at him. Aron was confuse. He killed them all, he swears. Then Damon step in front of him and begin to speak.
"Hey kid nice to 'eetcha! Are you ready for some payback."
"Who's this working at the night shift?" Roper asked sarcastically.
"I don't know, but I don't think I like him," Garret said playing along with Roper.
"He's so cute! I can hear his heart racing." Desire said acting really cute which made Aron like her even more.
He started to feel bad about killing her. She was the only girl he killed after all.
"About time we got a new play mate!" Roper screamed jumping up and down excitedly.
"Just another weakling acting so cute," Garret said rudely.
"Hey!" Desire screamed a little annoyed at the comment just made.
"Listen gang I say we dig in," Damon said grinning.
Then Damon launch his self at Aron jabbing his claws in is chest.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!" Aron screamed.
He looked at his surroundings. There was a lake on his right side and complete forest on his left. He was awake, finally he has awoken from that terrible nightmare. Aron was scared. That was his first nightmare he ever had and it sucked. He saw that he was covered in a blanket. Weird, where did that come from? He got up to go look around when a cute looking cougar was coming towards him. He got into a fighting stance not knowing if she was good or not.
"Is that how you treat everyone you first meet?" She said with a bit of sadness in her voice.
"Sorry, I was just being cautious." Aron explain.
"Well that's fine. I'm just glad that your awake. It's been two weeks since you've been awake."
"TWO WEEKS!" He screamed.
"Yeah I know it can be shocking that you've been asleep until now, but that scar looked like it hurt," she said pointing at his chest.
Aron was confused at first, until he looked down at his belly and saw it. It was a big scar that took up his whole chest. It was purple and stung when he touched it.
"When then that dang panther get me?" He said quietly to himself.
Then it hit him. That dream was more real then he thought.
It was time for him to go back on his hunt. He waste too much time sleeping. He started to walk away from her when she grabbed his arm.
"And where do you thing your going?" She asked a little mad that he was just about to walk away with out saying anything.
"I have to getting going. You see I'm a....."
"I know who you are," she said interrupting him," your Aron the vulture bounty hunter. That's the main reason I wanted to help you."
Aron raised an eyebrow.
"There are these two friends of mine who I haven't seen in two weeks. A tiger named Grace and a coyote named Aaron. They got a letter one day from Jacob himself, saying that they're needed for a very special mission. If you find them bring them back her and I will reward you for your troubles," she said while opening a sack of meats which made Aron simile.
"Okay, you got it!" He screamed and then he took off.
"No worries you guys. You two will come back safely. I will always protect you. No matter were I am.
