#7 of Buxy the Bunny part 2


Benny slowly escorted Buxy back to where the ambulance attended to Steven Stripes. Buxy sobbed as she watched the paramedics load Steven into the vehicle on the gurney. The police reassured Buxy that he should be fine, insisting that the paramedics said it wasn't too serious of a gunshot wound. Benny pointed out where the back alley fight took place with the wolf, and told his side of what occurred. The police collected statements from a few other witnesses, investigated the alley to view the scene and concluded that Benny acted properly. But they wanted him to be available, in case the investigation needed more information. Benny agreed.

Both Benny and Buxy returned to his apartment in a taxi. The sex party patrons went home earlier, due to the tiger/rabbit blow up earlier. Benny gently undressed Buxy for bed, while she let him attend to her as the night's activities washed over her. With a few glasses of water and a small something to eat, Buxy felt marginally better. The alcohol slowly wore off her, as she lay in bed with Benny.

Benny held Buxy close to him and told her about what occurred after the party. "So, Steven and I yelled at each other for a while. I accused him of trying to eat you, he denied it and accused me of being a snooty rabbit. But we both finally agreed to work together to make sure you were OK. After I disbanded the party, we took his car and drove around to look for you. Steven got a call on his cell phone about you causing a ruckus, and we drove to his place."

Buxy nodded. "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..." she said as she nuzzled into Benny's chest.

Benny patted her. "Just relax, please." He continued. "After we reached the place, Steven jumped out the car and told me to park it while he ran ahead to his place. I found a place to park and got out, but I heard a few gun shots. So I ran after Steven, only to find him on the ground. Someone pointed to where that wolf chased you, and I ran in."

Buxy squeezed Benny's paw. "Thank you... you saved my life..." she mumbled out. But Kenny didn't, she thought to herself. She hated Kenny, that he didn't protect her... or wasn't even real...

Benny squeezed back. "Anything for you, Buxy. I love you."

Buxy steeled herself for her next task. She had to come clean with Benny. "Benny? I... have something to tell you... um..." She blurted out "I work at 'The Bunnyhop Nightclub', a carnivore bar Steven owns." She tensed up and prepared for the worst.

Benny softly replied "I know. Steven told me that, when we were yelling at each other." He turned off the light. "And I know you used to want to be swallowed."

Buxy nodded as she choked back tears. "I'm sorry..." she mumbled out. "I didn't mean to lie... to you... *sniff*..."

Benny continued to speak. "I never told you or our friends about my last girlfriend. She was a TV-Dinner... I mean, she wanted to be swallowed. I was in love with her, and this..." Benny's voice broke before he continued. "...this worthless piece-of-shit tiger talked her in going down his throat."

Buxy caught her breath as she realized the similar situation.

Benny spoke on. "That... idiot tiger... worthless excuse for fur... just got a meal, and I lost her... and, smelling that tiger on you all the time... it scared me that I might lose you also."

Buxy nodded again. "Steven never tried to pressure me into doing that. Once, I asked him, but changed my mind." She didn't tell Benny that she was part way down Steven's throat when she changed her mind. She did NOT want to tell him about Kenny... who wasn't real... she shook her head in confusion. She wondered how Kenny could swallow her if he wasn't real.

Benny spoke after a moment of hesitation. "I love you Buxy. Move in with me. Get out of that... infernal nightclub. I'll take care of you. We don't have to have kids. Just the two of us, together."

The prospect of moving, taking a risk by leaving a secure job and place to live scared her beyond belief. She liked the security of having something here and now, where she could take care of herself. But she also realized that her working there would always be an added amount of tension between her and Benny. Buxy did not think, but let her heart speak for her. "Yes." It scared her to take that leap, but she set herself to that task. Her eyes slowly shut as exhaustion overtook her.

Benny also drifted off to sleep. "Good."

Buxy's dreams were full of chaos that changed with the wind. At one point, she was fresh out of high school, mingling with her high school friends. Cindy Wixlor and Harvey were with her as they laughed up a storm about nothing in particular. However, one by one, her friends kept disappearing. Every time she looked about, another friend vanished.

Surrounding the shrinking hoard of rabbits was a group of carnivores, eyeing the rabbits with a hungry eye. Buxy began to panic as the group whittled down to Cindy, Harvey and Buxy. A lioness nearby opened her mouth wide and Harvey walked toward it. In a flash, he was gone. A lynx also opened his mouth wide, and Cindy walked toward it. In a flash, she was gone. Buxy stood alone and shivered as the other carnivores pressed around her, licking their chops while eyeing her tasty body. Buxy panicked while the predators came closer and closer.

Buxy found herself walking down a sidewalk in a rundown neighborhood. It was bright and sunny as she walked toward her brown house, where she knew she would be safe. But along the side of the sidewalk were predators lined up, who eyed her body with rapt attention. The males showed a visible erection while the females emitted a scent that they were in heat. Buxy tried to focus on walking straight, but the predators kept trying to get her attention. She glanced down and saw that she was completely naked. She gasped as she caught sight of the two assailants who attacked her, a female cat and male wolf. She knew they just wanted to fill their bellies with her body.

Buxy began to dash to the brown house... HER house, as fast as she could. She heard a din behind her and knew that the predators were chasing her. Buxy reached the door of the house, yanked it open and rushed it, slamming the door shut behind her.

Buxy stood inside the rundown house with boarded up windows and old furniture strewn about the room. From the cracks in the window through the boards, Buxy could see that it was twilight outside. In the center of the room sat a child rabbit about six years old, with a few of her toys and dolls surrounding her. She spent her time playing with her toys on the floor.

Buxy approached the child. "Hello little one. What's your name?" She looks familiar, Buxy thought to herself.

The child looked up at Buxy and Buxy realized with a start that the child was herself, when she was six. "Bucks!" she exclaimed with glee. Buxy had a flash of a childhood memory where she couldn't say her name 'Buxy', so always said 'Bucks' instead.

Buxy nervously glanced back at the door and heard the ruckus of carnivores outside the door. One of the carnivores outside ripped off a board from the window. She turned back to the child and said in a hurried voice "We have to go, Bucks. It's dangerous here."

The child rabbit kept playing with her toys. "Nu-uh! I... safe here..." She pointed with her paw to one side. "He keep meee safe... in my house..."

Buxy glanced to where she pointed and saw Kenny, standing like a body guard, dressed in his brown shirt and jeans. He watched the door attentively, while he glanced to the child on occasion. Another board ripped out of the window, scaring Buxy.

Buxy said to the child "But you can't rely on him. He's not real." She panicked as she heard the snarling outside grow louder.

The child rabbit jumped up and yelled at Buxy in anger "He real! He real!" She ran to him and gripped his leg like a security blanket. Kenny reached down and patted her back like a protective parent.

The door ripped open and the slobbering predators struggled to fit through the narrow door.

Buxy ran down the sidewalk as fast as she could from the carnivores chasing her. She knew there was safety ahead. She ran straight to 'The Bunnyhop Nightclub', hoping to protect her from the hungry predators behind her.

Buxy stood in the nightclub while she looked for someplace to sit. All the tables were occupied by a carnivore, and each and every one waved at her to join him/her with sexual interest and a salivating mouth. Buxy shivered as she felt on full display. She glanced down and realized she was still naked. Even Steven stood next to the stairwell that lead to his studio apartment. He beckoned for to join him, with a salivating mouth and visible erection through his pants. The look he gave her made Buxy nervous. She continued to walk through the nightclub.

Buxy walked to a bed situated in the middle of the dance floor. She lay down on it alone, while all the carnivores surrounded the bed with a hungry eye. She shivered from the attention. Where's Kenny, she asked herself. It's no fair, he's not real. She shut her eyes and wished he was with her.

Buxy gripped Kenny's back as he thrust in her, again and again. She huffed as her orgasm wore off, and she felt his wolfy cock still tied in her. She had her legs wrapped around his waist while she enjoyed the feeling of his body on her.

Kenny looked down at her, his eyes boring into her soul. She smiled back at him, thinking to herself that he was all hers. "I'm gonna eat cha, there Bucks." He said in his typical voice.

Buxy lost her smile. "But Kenny, how can you eat me? You're not real... are you?" He felt real to her, with his wolf cock and his body pressed down on her. But no one could see him... except her... and the surrounding carnivores only saw her.

"I'm real, Bucks." Kenny licked her face, causing her to smile. "Meet me at 'The Bunnyhop Nightclub'. There, I'll eat cha." The look of hunger in his eye deepened, as she felt his belly rumble.

Buxy glanced about for her boyfriend Benny. "But Kenny, I'm in love... with someone." She said to him. She breathed deep his wolfy musky body pressed down on her and felt his cock inside her twitch again.

Buxy stood next to the bed, as she tried to look through the carnivore crowd, for her boyfriend. "Benny? Benny?" she yelled out. She wished he was somewhere near, but knew that he hated the nightclub. The crowd eyed her, but didn't try to paw her, fortunately.

Kenny lay on the bed on his stomach, naked and with his head propped up on his paws. "C'mon Bucks, c'mon back ta bed..." He patted a spot on the bed next to him.

Buxy's anger began to take hold. "No... NO!" she yelled at Kenny. "You lied to me! You're not... *sob*... real..." She broke down in tears.

Kenny growled with anger. "Den come ta bed, I'll eat cha! Den it'll prove I exist!"

Buxy lay flat on the bed, as she felt Kenny's stretched out jaw cover her calves. He flexed his throat muscles, drawing her closer to his stomach. Buxy smiled as she knew she would not have to worry about tomorrow. I'll be eaten, and everything will be alright.

Right then, through the carnivore crowd Benny pushed through. "Buxy!" he yelled out. "Please don't do this... I love you..."

Buxy felt her thighs enter Kenny's mouth. She looked up to Benny and said with confusion "But... I have to... I'm a TV-dinner rabbit... like you said..." Kenny's throat squeezed her thighs as she slowly slid down his throat. Oh hurry up, she said to herself.

Benny began to take off his clothes as he sobbed out "Then I'm going to be eaten too! I can't be without you!" He tossed his shirt behind him. The surrounding carnivores took an interest in him.

Buxy's hips slid into Kenny's jaw. She cried out "No! Don't do this! No... NO!!!" She slid in another few cms in.

Benny lay next to Buxy on the bed, waist deep inside a lion's mouth. He turned to her and said with a sorrowful eye "I have to... I love you..."

Buxy squirmed and struggled to escape, but Kenny's jaw squeezed the air out of her lungs. "*Gasp*" she let out, as the pressure on her chest forced her to expel her last breath. "Noooooo..."

"Nooooooo!" Buxy bolted up in bed as she woke up from her nightmare. She looked about her and saw she was in Benny's bedroom, with all the furniture removed except the bed. She shook her head as she tried to clear out all the nightmarish ideas still crowding in her mind. She turned to Benny's form lying next to her, and shook him. "Benny? I'm... scared... I had a nightmare..."

She heard Benny's voice say "Don't worry Bucks, I'll protect ya." She shuddered from the voice. It was his, but not his. "Benny?" she tentatively said to him as she started to shy away from the form.

Benny rolled over and faced her. But the form on the bed next to her was only partially Benny. He had the white fur and the typical rabbit features, but his eyes... his eyes pierced her soul, with one eye blue and one eye brown. He gripped her with paws that looked like wolf's paws. "I'll keep ya safe Bucks." And he began to open his mouth wider than any rabbit could.

Buxy felt a force that made her fall toward his mouth. "No..." she stammered out. Her face sank into his mouth, and it clamped down tightly around her head. "NO!!!"

Buxy woke up with a start in Benny's bed. She jerked her head about, verifying that everything was in its place. She was alone in bed, and could smell the preparation of food in the kitchen, reminding her that she was ravenous with hunger. The dream caused her to think about the things that went on last night. Kenny, Steven, Benny, the sex party, the attacker, her sister...

Buxy's eyes went wide from the memory. She yelled out "Bitsy!" Benny came running in to check on her. She told him about what she heard from the wolf last night. While Benny served breakfast, he suggested that they go to the police to find out. She numbly ate the meal, and Benny called into work to say that he had personal matters to attend to.

After they finished eating, Benny took Buxy back to her place at 'The Bunnyhop Nightclub' so that she could change into decent clothes. Buxy went up to her room alone while Benny waited outside. "I'm never going into that infernal place!" he said of the nightclub.

After Buxy got dressed, both Benny and Buxy went to the police station. Buxy told the police officer what the wolf told her in the alley way. After a few phone calls, the police officer confirmed Buxy's worst nightmares, that her sister Bitsy and her entire family were murdered. Buxy cried while Benny did his best to comfort her. The police alerted the investigating officer to try to match the gun from the wolf that attacked Buxy to the bullets used at the crime scene.

Buxy and Benny made their way to the hospital. Buxy remained numbly silent while Benny tracked down information on Steven's condition. While Buxy and Benny waited to go into the hospital room to see Steven, the attending doctor mentioned at Steven Stripes would make a full recovery from the gunshot wound, which Buxy was very much relieved about. "But he needs to rest, so don't stress him." she said to the two of them. Both rabbits nodded their heads.

Buxy and Benny entered the hospital room and saw Steven in bed with bandages over his shaved skin on his abdomen. He had an IV drip hooked up, and appeared to be awake. He weakly smiled as the two of them entered, and motioned for them to approach. "Hello Buxy..." he said warm heartedly in a weak voice. "Benny..." he said in a more neutral tone. "Glad you could come by..."

Buxy teared up. "Oh Steven... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." she sobbed out. She reached for his paws, which he lightly grasped.

Steven chuckled which caused him discomfort. "Don't worry... *ouch*... about it... I'll be OK Buxy..." he said to her. "We'll be back home boinking in no time." He faced Benny and smiled smugly. Benny frowned back at him.

Buxy said "Yeah... uh Steven... I..." She remembered that she agreed to move in with Benny last night. "I..."

Steven stroked her paw. "What is it Buxy?"

Buxy steeled herself and said "Here it goes... I'm going to move out... and get a different job."

Steven frowned. "Oh come on Buxy, you can't move out. Where will you live?"

Benny spoke up. "She will live with me." At that he smiled at Steven.

Steven's eyes narrowed on Benny. "Great, a snooty rabbit is taking my bunny away from me... just great..."

Buxy interrupted the two. "Steven! I don't belong to you. I... just have to do this."

Steven nodded his head as he glanced from Benny to Buxy. "All right... I get it ... but at least give me two weeks' notice, OK?" Buxy nodded. "And come by to visit? OK? We're still friends." Buxy gave him a reassuring smile, which Steven accepted. He faced Benny without the smile and said "I still don't like you."

Benny nodded. "And I don't like you, but I guess you're all right." Both Steven and Benny chuckled. Buxy smiled, as she felt the two of them seemed to get along.

Benny spoke up to Steven. "That wolf that shot you? Well, he's dead. I made sure of that." He glanced at Buxy with a concerned look. "He's not going to bother you again."

Steven's eye showed a spark of happiness. "Really? You killed Kenny? Way to go, Benny." He gave a genuine warm smile to Benny.

Buxy suddenly remembered that Steven mistook the wolf for Kenny. "No... wait..." she stuttered out.

Benny breathed in with a start. "That... was Kenny?" He turned to Buxy and said "You mean... that was your old boyfriend? I thought Kenny was a rabbit... and..." The expression on his face turned to horror.

Buxy winced from the accusation. "No... no..." she said.

Steven continued to speak. "When I met Buxy, she met a wolf named Kenny, but it didn't work out..."

Buxy tried to interrupt the conversation. "Wait..."

Benny put together the pieces to a horrifying conclusion. "Oh fur..." he exclaimed with a shocked face.

Buxy rudely interrupted both Steven and Benny. "That isn't it!" she yelled out.

Both Benny and Steven faced Buxy, waiting for an explanation. "Who is Kenny?" Benny slowly asked.

Buxy tried to collect her thoughts about who... what Kenny was. "Kenny is..." a non-existent wolf that she created, she completed the thought. A ghost wolf that shows up whenever she needed him. A magic wolf who can disappear/reappear out of thin air. "...is..." She didn't know how to complete the sentence, and uttered what she simply knew. "...a wolf I met at 'The Bunnyhop Nightclub', when I wanted to be eaten." She wasn't sure if she even believed that, but she told them what she knew. She narrated her experiences to Steven and Benny.

Benny's face grew grim as he listened to Buxy. He didn't take the news too well about how Buxy wanted to be eaten. Steven simply listened with rapt attention. After all, it was commonplace for a rabbit to be eaten.

Buxy told the two about how she met the most perfect wolf ever, how they had great sex, and spent her last night together at the nightclub, and at her apartment. (Harvey's apartment, that is.) She told them about how she rode a taxi to Kenny's house to be eaten, got off at the wrong stop and had to walk to the house through the rundown neighborhood. She told them how two assailants attacked her, one of them being that wolf from last night, and how she got away. She told them how Kenny almost swallowed her down while she talked with her sister on the phone.

Steven shook his head. "Wait a minute... he 'almost' swallowed you down? You were part way down his throat?" Buxy nodded her head. Steven continued. "Then he pulled you out of his throat, just like I did with you?"

Benny jerked his head to Steven. "What?!? You almost swallowed her?!?" he yelled out.

Steven yelled back, causing some pain in his abdomen. "She...*ouch*...asked me to swallow her, it was her idea! She changed her mind while half way down my throat!"

Benny continued to glare at Steven, and then soften his gaze. "OK, I get."

Steven jabbed a finger at him. "Don't forget, I only eat those who WANT to be eaten. Got it?" Benny lessened his glare at Steven, and slowly nodded his head in acceptance.

Buxy told them about how she spent too much time on the phone with her sister, and thought Kenny choked to death on her. She told them how she escaped right when that intruder entered the house, crawled outside and ended up at the hospital. She did not tell them about her broken foot. She still didn't understand that part, nor fully believed it. She told them how she made her way back to Steven, asked him to swallow her, then changed her mind and took a job at the nightclub.

Buxy told them about how the wolf that abducted her from the nightclub was the same one who she escaped from, and who intruded the brown house. But she did not tell them about how she met Kenny at the nightclub that night. She still wasn't sure if it was real or not. She also did not tell them about Kenny at the mall. She couldn't figure that out.

After Buxy finished her story, both Benny and Steven contemplated the story in silence. Benny nodded his head and spoke up. "So, can I assume that this incident is over?" He grasped Buxy's paw and looked deep into her eyes. "You and I can start a life together?"

Steven interrupted them. "Wait a minute... you still work for me, even if it is only for two weeks. And, we are still friends. Come visit me?"

Benny briefly glared at the tiger, before returning to Buxy.

Buxy glanced back to Steven "I will Steven." and then to Benny. "Yes, it is over. We can be together." And, Kenny is over, she told herself. No more special wolf, she firmly resolved. But a part of her heart didn't believe that thought. She squeezed his paw back.

Benny dropped Buxy off at 'The Bunnyhop Nightclub' to perform her cleaning duties. "I have my work to do" to which Benny reluctantly agreed. "But tonight, come home." he said to her while holding her paws with love in his eyes. "Our home." She nodded with a tear in her eye, and he left for work.

Buxy numbly pushed herself through her cleaning routine, while she thought about how she would leave behind a secure part of her life, and jump into uncertainty. She believed that Benny could provide for her, and that she could get a different job, but it was hard enough for her to choose to not be swallowed and live for tomorrow, when she took the job at the nightclub. Now, she had to adapt again. She was genuinely scared of the future.

Buxy mind wandered over the events surrounding Kenny. She still could not believe that he wasn't real. She tried to fathom what she saw. He felt real, smelled real. Hell, he even fucked real. She half smiled as she remembered the incredible sex they had, and remembered giving herself to him. Now, she knew no one else could even see him. What the fur is going on, she asked herself.

As Buxy collected the discarded rabbit items and clothing scattered about the nightclub, she thought about how it could have been her stuff put into the bins to be carted off to the rabbit thrift stores, to be bought by a new generation of TV-Dinner rabbits... Buxy shook her head. I hate that term, she thought to herself. And I hate it when others use that. She realized that this was the first time she allowed herself to acknowledge that fact. If someone wants to be eaten, then that is their choice.

Buxy thought about her dream last night as she cleaned the tables. I must have made him up as a kid, she thought to herself. That has to be it. And I saw that brown house as a kid, and made a fantasy about it. She wondered about her childhood fantasy that took a life of its own.

As Buxy washed out the dish towels, her cell phone rang. She almost forgot about it, buying it two days ago. She realized that it must have just activated. She answered it. "Hello?"

The voice on the other end was that unmistakable rough and unrefined voice. "Heyas Bucks."

Buxy shuddered as the chill of recognition went through her body. "K-Kenny..." Buxy softly mumbled into the phone. She dropped the cleaning rags onto the floor.

The voice on the other end went on. "So, you gonna meet me at da nightclub tonight?"

Suddenly Buxy remembered that Kenny told her to meet her at the nightclub in her dream. A part of herself wanted to rebel against her future plans with Benny, and still be eaten by Kenny, and be safe. But another part of herself embraced her maturity, even if she was scared of it. "Uh..." But the absurdity of it all washed over her. She yelled back "But you're not real! You didn't even save me! Benny did!"

The voice on the other end paused. "Wha cha talkin' about, there Bucks? Of course I'm real. And, I'll swallow you down." he gruffed out. "And that wimpy boyfriend of yours can't do what I can."

Buxy panicked as she found herself wanting to go to him anyway, despite the negative thoughts going through her mind. "But... but..." she didn't know how to answer.

Kenny calmly replied "Bucks, look at yer paw. Smell it."

Confused, Buxy glanced at her free paw. Right on her paw was a small wet spot. Buxy slowly brought her paw up to her nose and sniffed it. It smelled like Kenny. Instantly, she flashed back to the first night she met Kenny, at the nightclub. She gave herself to him, and a spittle of saliva dripped onto her paw. Right then, she knew she belonged to him. He scent marked her. All of her resistance washed away, and knew she couldn't fight the want to be swallowed... by her dream wolf... While she stared at her paw, Buxy mumbled into the phone "Um..."

Kenny on the other end ordered her "Meet me at the nightclub tonight. Den, I'll claim ya, Bucks. You are mine."

Buxy softly replied "OK...", and the phone call ended. She slowly lowered the phone, and knew she could not fight the situation anymore. She belonged to Kenny. She thought about Benny, but couldn't think of how her love for him was stronger than this... need... to be swallowed...

Reluctantly, Buxy dialed Benny's number. His answering service answered, and instructed her to leave a message. On the brink of tears, Buxy softly spoke into her phone "B-Benny? I... can't live with you... please find someone else to love..." and immediately hung up.

Buxy finished up her cleaning duties for the nightclub in a haze. By the time she finished, the nightclub was fifteen minutes from opening, with the other workers stationed about the place, ready to work. She went upstairs and slowly stripped off her outfit, as she thought about what to wear for her last night. She grabbed a plain shirt and pants without a bra or underwear, dressed herself in an automated manner, and then walked downstairs to the nightclub, and sat at a table to wait for Kenny.

Buxy thought she wouldn't be in this situation, but she looked at herself from afar, patiently sitting at the table, waiting for her wolf to come and eat her. A few times, a fighting voice of opposition inside of her tried to object to her state, but her body, her numbness drowned out all opposing forces.

The doors opened up, and patrons walked in. The rabbits entered the nightclub, hoping for a fun and exciting night, while the predators eyed the rabbits for their own hungry pleasure. A few predators walked up to Buxy's table, hoping to spend time with her, but she blankly stared straight forward. Unable to get her attention, the predators headed elsewhere for their prey and night of fun.

After a half hour of numb waiting, Buxy shuddered as she heard that familiar rough and unrefined voice "Hey there Bucks. Ya ready now?"

Buxy's body shook with want and fear. She glanced up at her special wolf, his brown fur, and mismatched eyes that stared into her soul, demanding her. She stood up and faced Kenny.

Kenny gazed over his rabbit with hungry eyes, a slight smile forming on his muzzle. "Mine..." he softly said to her.

Buxy shook her head as the wolf cast his spell on her. She tried to resist. "Kenny... but... you're not real..."

Kenny moved his head back a bit in confusion. "Wha cha mean, Bucks? Of course I'm real."

Right then, a waitress approached them. "May I take your order?"

Still lost under the commanding gaze of Kenny, Buxy shook her head.

Kenny glanced to the waitress and said "I'd like a beer, there miss."

The waitress nodded, wrote down the order and turned to leave.

Buxy's eyes went wide as she realized that the waitress responded to Kenny's request. She reached out a paw to the retreating waitress' shirt and tugged on it. "Wait!" she said. The waitress turned and looked at Buxy. Buxy asked the waitress "You can see him?" She motioned to Kenny.

The waitress glanced at Kenny and back to Buxy with a confused look. "Yes... Is something wrong Buxy?"

Buxy glanced back and forth from Kenny to the waitress, confused. She shook her head. The waitress walked away. Buxy focused her attention back to her wolf. "But... but..." she stuttered out as she breathed in his intoxicating scent. "...how... are you real?"

Kenny glared down at Buxy with anger. "Huh?!? Wha do ya mean? Huh?!?" He yelled out for other patrons in the bar to hear. "I'm gonna eat dis bunny! Kay?" The other patrons glanced back at him, nodded, and returned to their own little social realms. Kenny faced Buxy again and with a commanding gaze he said "Da others don' mind! Now, I'll eat cha!"

Buxy stared back up at Kenny, lost in his gaze. She didn't say a word as Kenny put his paws on her and ripped her shirt open. He peeled off her shirt while he kept his eyes onto her. Buxy didn't budge, nor did she resist his paws.

Kenny said in a dark and soft voice "Strip, Bucks." Buxy obediently took off her pants, and dropped them to her side, without any objection. She stood in front of Kenny, nude and obediently waiting to be swallowed.

But at that moment, Buxy's last bit of survival instinct kicked in, her last sense of maturity she worked so hard to develop over the past few months. She barely spoke, with the last remains of independent will-power. "But... I love Benny" she mumbled out.

Kenny's face sneered at her in anger. "I own ya, Bucks!" he commanded to her. "You are mine!" He pointed to the table and said "Now, get on da table, so I can eat cha!"

Buxy obediently hoisted herself onto the table. Just like the other rabbits I clean up after, she thought to herself. She lay down on the table and stared at the ceiling. This will be the last thing I ever see, before I see the inside of Kenny. But this time, the thought of being swallowed by her dream wolf didn't make her smile. She felt neither resolve nor ability to say no to him.

Buxy felt the familiar warm tongue licking at her toe paws. Her thoughts remained silent as she felt a warm mouth surround her toe paws, and felt the throat muscles flex. I can't fight this, she thought to herself, as her toe paws worked their way to the back of his throat.

Buxy heard a familiar voice yell out "No!" and felt the throat of Kenny violently pull away from her. She sat up on the table with a start and saw her boyfriend Benny next to Kenny. Benny had an expression of rage and fury on his face, as he glared at Kenny with hatred. Kenny glared back at the rabbit, with his own hatred.

Kenny yelled out "What the hell are ya doin', lil bunny?!?" to Benny.

Benny yelled back with his own bluster "Saving my girlfriend, you meat eater! You will not touch her!"

Kenny just growled at him.

Buxy yelled out "Don't hurt him!" She didn't know who she said it to, but she didn't want the one she loved or the one she craved to hurt each other.

Benny turned to Buxy and pleaded with her "Please don't do this, Buxy. I love you."

Buxy glanced to Benny and knew she loved him. She glanced to Kenny, and her body longed for him. "I... I..." she muttered out. Her bodily longing fought with her heart.

Kenny pointed at Buxy and yelled "She's mine!"

Benny ignored the wolf and said with more desperation "I lost my first girlfriend, I'm not going to lose you. Please..."

Buxy looked at Benny and realized that as long as she was with Benny, she would struggle with her want for her special wolf the rest of her life. If she gave into Kenny, then it would be all over very soon. She let the hopelessness of the situation decide for her. "I'm sorry Benny... *sniff*... please find someone else to love..."

Benny grimaced. He ripped open his shirt. "Then I'm going to be swallowed down too." He dropped his shirt to the ground and began to take his pants off. He yelled out to the surrounding crowd "I need a carnivore to eat me!"

Buxy gasped at this action. "No!" she yelled out. She watched as a large sized lion approach Benny from behind, picked up his shirt and smelled it, as he eyed the undressing rabbit with a hungry eye. "No!" She turned with raw anger at Kenny and yelled "I hate you! You keep showing up, and you're not even real!" She jabbed a finger at him. "You will never swallow me!"

All sound and all action in the room stopped as Kenny stepped toward her and calmly said "Den why did ya keep calling me back?"

Buxy gasped from the accusation. Instinctively, she knew what Kenny was talking about, but couldn't bring it to the surface of her thoughts. "What?"

Kenny calmly gazed deep into her eyes and continued to speak. "You made me, you keep calling me, I came. If ya don' want me, den don't call me back."

Buxy realized what Kenny was talking about. She created the fantasy wolf, and kept it alive all her life. "I... I don't know..." she said to Kenny.

Kenny lifted his paw to her chest. "If ya don't want me, den I'll take it from ya, Bucks. After all, I'll keep ya safe, there Bucks." With a wink of one eye and a slight smile, he plunged his paw deep into Buxy's chest. Buxy's attention immediately went inward, and followed Kenny's paw as it traversed down to the core of her being.

Every time Kenny's paw came near a strand of Buxy's, a memory would flare up. A sorrowful memory of losing her favorite dolly. A happy memory of getting an A on her math test. A prominent memory of watching her sister get married. As Kenny's paw worked its way deeper into Buxy's being, she followed.

Then, Kenny's paw came close to a prominent thread. At once, her vision of her perfect wolf flared up, one eye brown, one eye blue. He would be the most perfect wolf and protector for her, and she would always be safe. She heard his voice say "You gotta keep yerself safe, there Bucks. I won't be der ta do it fer ya." Kenny's paw firmly grasped the thread and tugged while he spoke "You gotta take this from ya."

Buxy felt pain as the thread strained against the tugging. "Noooo..." she gasped out. Suddenly, the thread snapped and Buxy felt a part of herself disappear. Kenny's paw pulled out while it grasped the thread, and Buxy followed it out, back to the realm of the living, the realm of the nightclub. As the paw pulled out of her chest, she heard the voice say "Bye, Bucks."

Buxy gasped as all noise and sound started up again. In front of her stood Benny, fully naked with a large lion's arms wrapped around him. But where she thought Kenny should be instead stood a husky, eyeing her. She recognized the husky as the one from the sex party, who she thought turned into Kenny.

The husky yelled at her. "Oh come on, there Buxy! I stripped ya down, just like you asked me to! Am I gonna eat cha or not?"

The lion groomed/tasted Benny's ears as his paws groped the rabbit. Visibly uncomfortable, Benny pleaded with Buxy. "Please Buxy. If you get swallowed, then I get gulped too. My life is in your paws."

Buxy tried to figure out what was going on. First, Kenny was going to eat her. Then, he and Benny had a shouting match. Then, Kenny... Kenny... took her 'perfect wolf' from her?

Confused, Buxy closed her eyes and visualized her Kenny. She could still see him in her mind, but it had no special pull on her. And it took the form of a memory from a dream that would fade as a fur came awake. The once sharp and in-focus features of his face took on a wispy texture, which would fade with time.

Buxy shook her head as the world slowly came into focus. She felt as if she waked up from a foggy dream. She vaguely remembered that she called the husky earlier today, for him to come down and swallow her... or something... and that... there is no Kenny... or a wolf... she shook her head and and tried to collect her thoughts.

Buxy glanced across the room and watched a rabbit's head slide down a carnivore's throat. She recoiled in horror at the concept of a rabbit wanting to be eaten. What the fur, she exclaimed to herself. What am I doing here? She knew in her heart she didn't want to be eaten, as if... her desire left her. With a sudden shock, she knew she wasn't the same rabbit as before.

Buxy got off the table and said "I love you, Benny. I don't want to be swallowed." She walked to Benny and grabbed the lion's paws, and pried them off of her boyfriend. "Leggo!" she yelled out. Benny smiled with relief as he got out of the lion's paws.

Buxy looked about the nightclub, and noted that the entire nightclub was watching the commotion. She looked down at herself and Benny and noted the nudity. No wonder we're being stared at, she thought to herself. We're dressed like happy meals.

The husky, still upset about being led on, asked Buxy "But what about me? Ain't I gonna eat cha Buxy?"

Buxy faced the husky and calmly said "I'm sorry, but no." The husky huffed out in exasperation, but she continued. "I believe I can change my mind, right?"

The husky looked about himself and said "Yeah, yeah, you can... oh fur..." and turned about to walk about.

The doorman approached the rabbit pair and said "I believe the two of you are causing a disturbance, and you will have to leave."

Benny turned to the doorman and said in a rough voice "Gladly!" He picked up his clothes as Buxy picked up hers, and then Buxy guided Benny to the stairwell that led up to her apartment. "Let's head up, and pack. I'm leaving." Both Benny and Buxy walked up the stairwell to her apartment naked, while they held their clothes and each other's paws.
