I put in my headphones and started to walk as I hit random on my playlist getting gazelles try everything song that for some rezone seamed to fit the moment. As I felt happier then I had in a long time even though I had never been in a worse situation and probably would have been in even worse one if it wasn’t for Lilly. About halfway there my phone pinged with a text from Lilly It wasn’t long after that I reached my destination. As soon as I walked in I was surprised by how pleasant and beautiful the shop was. The shop was nice and cool and smelled pleasantly of earth and plants and was wall to wall flowers. I walked over to the counter and up on a small platform that was there so smaller mammals could reach the counter where I was greeted by a young mail lion.
“Um excuse me can you help me my boss said you have an assortment of herbs she needs um she gave me a list.” I said pulling up the list on my phone.
“I’m sorry miss though we do have a large collection of herbs and can even special order anything else you may need. You must be licensed in order to just perches most preprocessed herbs let alone ready to use ones as they are highly regulated. Especially after the hole night howler’s thing a few years back.” He said apologetically.
“Oh yes I know my employer has a license and sent me with it.” I said getting it out of my bag and placing it on the counter.
“I hope you know that even if this does pass the checks I will have to contact your employer to verify it first.” He said putting the card into a machine on the counter.
“That’s fine um mind if I use your phone mine is a little small.” I asked simply.
“Sure go right ahead.” He said helping me up on to the counter, so I could call Lilly it took about twenty minutes to get through all the procedures and for him to hunt down the needed herbs. As he did so he made polite conversation. He even tried to explain a few things about herbs to me I didn’t really understand much of it other than that though the things he was giving me where commonly referred to as herbs most weren’t actually herbs somewhere moss fungi or where just trimming from some plants. After that I filled out the paperwork to put all the purchases on Lilly’s billing account. Once I had finally finished that and gotten out of the shop night had fallen but thankfully the street lights provided more than enough light to see my surrounding’s not that I really needed it as a cat I had good night vision. I started to walk home strangely I didn’t feel calm and safe like earlier I felt on edge and jumpy. I tried to convince myself that I was just on edge do to my meds wearing off but even, so I couldn’t help but to pick up the pace to try and reach the safety of my apartment and Lilly as I did I spotted a familiar mammal. It was the mugger only now he was in a suit instead of the rags he was in last time, but I was sure it was him. I started to run there was only a few blocks between me and safety. I struggled to pool out my phone and all I could think was to get in touch with Lilly. I somehow managed to find her number and call her as I just barely avoided running into a light post in the proses.
Thankfully she picked up on the third ring. Oh, hay Sam what’s up hav.” Lilly said cheerfully before I interrupted her. “Lilly help I’m being chased by the mugger I’m almost back help.”
There was a half second pause before she said. “Where are you try to make it to the fire escape I’m on my way just get hear I’ll take care of the rest!”
She sounded furious and it almost sounded like she was growling before hanging up as I continued to run. Looking back, I didn’t see the mugger, but I did see a car as It veered onto the curve I just manage to get into an alleyway between buildings that the large medium class car couldn’t even try to fit. Though once on the other side of the building I continued to try and reach the fire escape. I didn’t stop running tell I reached the alley way with the fire escape I stopped trying to catch my breath before heading toward the fire escape. When suddenly two cars blocked one end as a third car blocked the other entrance to the alleyway. As several mammals got out as I tried to climb up the ladder I almost made it up to the first platform when the largest tiger I’ve ever seen grabbed my tail and pulled me off the ladder. I screamed in pain when he did thankfully he quickly switched to holding me by my legs.
“We got her let’s go.” He growled as two other tigers walked over.
“LET HER GO OR DIE YOU MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLES!” Lilly practically roared as a dropped sledgehammer landed on one of the tiger’s head followed by an extremely pissed of Lilly landing on the other and kicked off of him knocking them both out.
“I’d set me down now she’s not kidding she will beat you up really really badly.” I said hanging upside down from his paw. His only reply was to growl at me.
“You don’t scare me, but she should scare you.” I said calmly with no trace of fear as I hung there staring him down though he didn’t listen to me.
He however was clearly disturbed by how surely, I said it unfortunately I didn’t realize it at the time that my skirt had fallen down but at least I was wearing panties. he didn’t reply but he did however whistle loudly calling over his buddy’s. As Lilly grabbed her sledge hammer as she did so I noticed her change in attire. Her eyes where a solid green all hints of their normal blue gone and full of a furious rage that would have most mammals three times her size running for their life’s. For me however it sent a warm rush through me that I had only ever felt in heat. Next I noticed her outfit she was wearing a Kevlar vest a pair of big metal gloves that I learned later where called gauntlets. Her sledge hammer had a pink handled that had what looked like children’s drawling all over the handle and been covered in a see-through plastic and strangely though it was definitely not rabbit size. Though it was close it seemed to fit her even though it was almost comically big in her paws.
‘Tiny bunny with a big hammer why does that sound familiar.’ I thought as three wolf a badger a fox a bore a strangely familiar ocelot and a wolverine stepped between the tiger and Lilly. I felt sorry for them Lilly however looked like she was looking forward to kicking there buts.
“Look sweetheart head back inside before you get hurt.” the bore said as he lights up a cigar before Lilly sledge hammer smashed him in the face braking his tusk and knocking him out.
As the others had turned to check on their comrade Lilly struck she punched the wolverine in the back of the head knocking him off is paws and sent him flying a few feet. I couldn’t tell if he was unconscious or not, but he wasn’t getting up as Lilly knocked the fox’s hind paws out from under him. She then grabbed his right leg and stomped on the foxes lower back then there was a loud snapping sound as the fox yelped. The ocelot pulled out a knife and tried to cut Lilly but Lilly just knocked it out of his paw then grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back.
“You really should have learned your lesson the first time.” Lilly said as I realized he was the ocelot from the bar.
Lilly then dislocated his elbow and snapped his arm before yanking him around and punched him three times before dropping the badly beaten and unconscious mammal to the ground. The remaining mammals stepped back as they just realized Lilly wasn’t a normal mammal and was as far from a helpless bunny as you could get. As she had brutally and quickly taken down about half their group.
“I warned you.” I said in a almost sing song way as Lilly calmly walked over to her hammer and picked it up. She then started to twirl the hammer like a baton.
“Leave now and this ends continue and I’ll brake you.” she said simply before tossing the hammer up in the air and past the third floor before catching it and propping it on her shoulder.
“Bitch!” The fox groaned as he pulled out a gun only to have his paw crushed by Lilly’s hammer.
“No guns you use those, and I’ll Do more than brake a few bones!” Lilly said in a cold murderous tone as her rage flooded the alley that seemed to frighten them, but it wasn’t enough to scare them off. We’ll all but one wolf but he didn’t make it far as he was shot by the tiger when he tried to run thankfully the tiger wasn’t aiming to kill him and shot him in the leg.
“Don’t be stupid she’s just trying to trick you don’t fear her fake violence fear the real thing and kill her she’s just one little bunny.” The tiger said sounding revolted by Lilly. That had just made me mad.
“Hay you big bully shut up.” I said shoving my taser into his eye he screamed and dropped me.
I bolted for the fire escape several of the mammals tried to stop me only to be blocked by Lilly, but I managed to make it up to the third floor before stopping to look down at Lilly. She was fighting the mammals who had tried to stop me most notable was the wolfs who were each wielding shock batons. It was then I noticed a badger who had pulled out a knife to stab Lilly in the back I stopped him buy pushing a large flower pot full of dirt and flowers off the fire escape. To my surprise it hit the mark and landed on him Lilly looked up in surprise I waved at her she started to wave back but was interrupted when a shock baton nearly hit her. She then returned to the fight as I continued to climb soon reaching Z’s window I knocked as hard as I could on the window hoping she was home.
“Z Z Z help please Z.” I shouted as Z walked over and opened the window.
“What’s wrong kitten” She asked sounding worried.
“Lilly’s in trouble she’s being attacked down below.” I said clearly shaken and afraid as Z darted to the railing before darting back in.
“Call the Z.P.D. if you haven’t already.” She said grabbing a baseball bat as she ran out her door I pulled out my phone and went to call the Z.P.D. but stopped. Calling the cops didn’t seem right somehow so instead I called Thomas and by extension Fred.
“Hi Sam, what’s up where on our way home does Lilly need something.” Thomas said in a way that clearly said he was trying not to laugh at something.
“Lilly is in trouble please help.” I said into the phone then there was silence on the other end of the line.
As I was just about to say hello for the third time Thomas said. “Where is she.” He said in a tone that sent a chill through me.
“Z’s apartment” I stuttered wondering what was up with these bunnies how are they all so scary. Though I knew scary was the wrong word, but I couldn’t think of the word at the time.
“Where on our way will be there soon.” He said before hanging up the phone I then returned to watching the fight Lilly had knocked out the wolfs but the wolverine was back on his feet.
Though by the way he was holding his arm it was clearly broken in fact they all looked like they were about to drop but Lilly was fine well she had some blood on her but as she wasn’t in any visible pain, I didn’t think it was hers. The tiger on the other paw was clearly not happy and was calling someone on his phone. I had a feeling this wasn’t going to end well I especially had a bad feeling about him and I wasn’t sure what, but it was bad. I climbed down to Lilly’s window and opened it so I could escape if needed before running to the railing to watch Lilly. She had just knocked out the last of the grunts before turning to the tiger.
“Well that was fun but now it’s your turn big boy or are you to scared of the little bunny to fight me.” She said sounding cocky, but her actions told another story. Though her hammer was slung on her shoulder and her posture casual. Her grip had tightened on her hammer and she was clearly ready to move she had her eyes fixed on the large tiger she was ready to fight.
He growled then reach for his shoulder holster as he did Lilly bolted forwarded at that moment it happened again things seemed to slow, and I could take in everything that happened next Lilly’s hammer collided with the tiger’s paw as he tried to aim his gun at Lilly she then knocked the gun out of his paw and a before he could try grab it Lilly kicked it under a car.
“Big mistake little bunny.” He growled and swiped at Lilly who just simply hopped out of the way.
Lilly then responded by swinging her hammer at him he tried to dodge it but he was a lot slower than Lilly and the hammer hit his leg he growled in pain before trying to stomp on Lilly the strange thing was the pain didn’t really slow him down as Lilly beat on him it was sort of like with my former land lord only with the tiger the madder he got the more rash and almost savage he became.
“Hay leave her alone.” Z shouted baseball bat on her shoulder as she climbed over the car blocking the alley.
“I don’t think that will work he’s really pissed and really wants to catch Sam.” Lilly said as she dodged a strike from the tiger and try to get him to keep his attention on her.
As Z was followed by a few other mammals like a beaver with a chainsaw the female otter from earlier with a lot of knifes she had a chef knife and a large butchers knife and several combat knifes. Then there was the pig he just looked scary and had a big scar on his face he had a massive knife and a chain. Surprisingly later I learned he’s a baker and really nice last of the group was another otter who looks like he was a teen he had a baseball bat and a bike helmet on. I started to climb down thankfully the tiger seemed not to notice anyone else not even me he just seamed focused on trying to kill Lilly. The other mammals who were watching the fight with didn’t seem too eager on changing that as he was much larger than the largest of our group and towered above Z and it didn’t hurt that he was a predator. I know prey species have a natural distrust of preds as we are literally built to hunt and eat them but the truth is us preds weren’t to comfortable with other preds especially ones that are bigger or stronger or more dangers then our self it usually wasn’t so bad with members of our own specie but other with specie it wasn’t so easy. One thing I’ve never really understood was why so many prey where so scared of us when we pred especially us smaller ones are scared of most of them and each other in fact I believe that’s why we preds agreed to the hole living in harmony with other species thing. My train of thought was interrupted when the tiger tried to grab one of the knocked out tigers guns only to be shot through his paw causing him to roar in pain and knocking the gun out of his paw. The shot had came from the old dog in the wheelchair who had made the shot from an upstairs window he saluted Lilly before pulling his gun back in the window.
