Insatiable Search

Chapter 1: The Beginning of an End

Steven, a 17-year-old wolf resides inside a condominium, it's been a few years since he moved in, alone and hopeless. He looked at himself in the mirror and his average healthy body was now covered with rolls of fats, his belly was so round that his nether regions were covered, his fat neck roll made him slightly restrict his view. A long sigh was given, he frailly walked to his chair and there he sat and stared longingly into an empty table in wait at something to happen, just anything that can help him escape his silent torture...

Ding!

The wolf looked to the direction of the door, he thought to himself that it was the landlord, he stood up and walked to the door and as he opened the door widely. Steven looked up and saw someone entirely different, it was a 6'ft adult goat wearing a thick black coat, his horns were long and curved as a spiral, it's smile gave a threatening and creepy vibe. It took a second for Steven to snap to a defensive state, immediately slamming the door closed and rushing towards the other side of his room, as he started to call for help from the police, the goat was already inside his room slowly closing the door and locking it. "H-hello? police the-" he panicked talked before feeling the hand of the goat softly held the phone and placing it on the table. "w-what do y-you want from me???" he said in fear, putting himself in a fetal position and wrapping himself with his flabby arms and tail. the mysterious goat then kneeled down and patted the scared blubber of a wolf, "Are you the son of Gerard bud?" the goat politely spoke, no response, "... I know you don't know me but trust me when I say this..." Steven peeked at him seeming to listen at what he was gonna say. "... I'm your father's friend, and that I also need your help." Steven slowly looked at him directly "what?" he stuttered.

"My name is Logan, I apologize that I looked like some fugitive.""No, no... it's fine it was my fault that I thought of you as something evil." The two casually conversed, they formally sat up having Logan sit on the chair whilst Steven indian sitting on his bed "W-what do you mean that you need my help sir?" he said in curiosity, "Well it's about something your father kept, he told me that if anything happened to him it would be my responsibility to keep and protect this certain object bud" Logan said. Steven then tries to think of any of the possible things his dad would keep, then it hit him, "My father did keep this very closely to himself and gave it to me in his will..." He jumped off his bed and walked in front of the cabinet, there he moved his hand past around books and slid off of what seems to be a bigger book with a leather belt holding it closed tight. "I-is this the one sir?" The goat grabbed it out of the wolf's hand and blew off the dust away from the book, Steven sat back down from a distance looking at Logan with suspicious intent, there Logan shouted "This is the one! I'm surprised it's kept in somewhat decent condition!" He continued, "Thank you for protecting such a valuable item bud! I appreciate it." "N-no problem sir..." Steven said. The goat then stood up and continued to carry the book, Steven looked up over surprisement "Welp! once again, thanks bud for keeping this and I hope you have a nice day" Logan smiled, he walked towards the exit and before he left... "W-wait!" he said in desperation, Logan tilted his head, having himself known that he was listening, Steven hesitantly spoke out before being cut off, Logan sighed "Meet me in the parking lot in the next morning bud." Then he left, closing the door. The wolf was silent at first before having himself think that his decision would make him escape from his boring and lonely life, for he can only hope at this point.

The next day, the obese wolf tiredly walked down the stairs and waited in the parking lot, carrying his bag and waited. Minutes passed and the goat fellow didn't appear, Steven slowly regretted his action and walked back to his apartment and before he could he hears an engine rev coming ever so closely. In the distance he notices a grey sport like car going towards his direction and as it goes closer it stops and you can see Logan leaning outside the window, waving his hand. "Hey bud! over here!!" The wolf came running down, his belly jiggled each step, he huffed and entered the car and immediately the car leaned towards the weight of Steven. The goat inhaled sharply "Uhh.. bud might wanna stay in the middle seat in the back" He said as he pointed at the obvious notice, Steven was then flushed in red embarrassment, he then awkwardly went into the back seat as told to. "Ok! time for us to go on a road trip bud, off we go!" and so, the car moved forward and entered back to the road, Steven looked outside the windows feeling so nostalgic and scared having known of his past.

As the car progressed to wherever, Steven leaned his head forward and asked Logan "May I ask what's in the book that's important to my father and you Logan sir?" He softly spoke, "Hm? oh i'll tell when we reached our destination bud, and our destination is my house!" "Oh ok..." Steven then relaxes himself and continues back to his view of the moving car and greens past them. "Hey I forgot to ask." Logan said, "What's your name bud?" he continued, Steven then responded back. "Oh your name is Steven bud? that's a nice name your father gave ya." "T-thanks..." after that was just complete silence in the whole ride. They rode past cities and towns and different beautiful greeneries and after hours they finally arrived in front of the house...

The wolf finally woke up from his sleep, "Are we he-" Steven was then silenced with Logan's hand and as he looked at him he was staring at his house, there they saw black suited furs, he then gave Steven the book and gave a dead serious stare " When I give you the signal, you run okay?" "L-logan sir??" Logan then walked outside and began to talk with these mysterious suit furs, Steven peeked out, still holding the book. And suddenly...

"RUN!" Logan screamed on the top of his lungs before a loud gunshot was fired

Steven was then shocked, seeing someone die in front of him once again, he grabbed the book and slid back away from the sound and exited the car door, there he ran as fast he could without looking back. "There's someone there! someone get him!!!" one of suited furs sprinted towards and aimed a gun at him...

As he looked back one last time, he saw a bullet nearly point blank and closed his eyes....

.......

"H-huh?" Steven opened his eyes once again seeing himself in perfectly normal shape, no bullet hole in his head or anything. then he noticed the place he once was different...

"W-where am I?"
