An afternoon in the cells
The door opened to the holding cells and two wolves walked in to the small room. One wolf was grey the other was black. Each was in uniform navy blue jacket,trousers and a white shirt. At their sides where a set of handcuffs and a bat ton. A third wolf walked in he was white in color and had obviously been in a fight. He was wearing riped blue jeans and a t-shirt with claw marks over the front, a few blood stains where visible. His hands where cuffed and he was shoved into the corner of the cell as the two police officers left. The door was shut and locked with a loud clink. He sat and down and looked at the ground ignoring the lion he shared the cell with.
The lion in the cell was dressed in jeans,t-shirt and a hoodie. He was typical in color, golden fur with an orange mane. His eyes where bloodshot and he smelled strongly of cannabis. He looked the wolf over and decided to start the conversation as it seemed the wolf wouldn't. "I'm David, what they get you for?" he asked the wolf. The wolf slowly looked up and his amber eyes met the lions sea blue eyes. He took a deep breath before speaking.
"I was in a fight, it ended badly..." the wolf replied sounding sad and afraid.
"Ended badly...what do you mean?" David asked curious as to the vagueness of the response. The wolf got up and walked to the window. He looked outside towards the horizon for a few minutes.
He sighed and replied "Well the other person involved is in the morgue now..."
David leapt to his feet and backed against the far wall and fearfully asked "Wait...you mean you killed him? What happened?".
"Sit down David and I'll tell you. I guess i have nothing better to do just now. You can call me Jon." Jon said as he sat down on one of the benches. David sat down opposite Jon and waited to learn what had happened.
Jon reached into his pocket and pulled out a packet of cigarettes. He offered one to David who accepted before taking one himself. He took out a lighter and lit them. He took a long deep drag and exhaled deeply before turning to David again. "OK, well this began a few months ago. Ever since i was a pup i knew i was different from the rest. It was there just i couldn't put my finger on it. About a year ago i figured it out. The difference i felt was the fact I'm Bisexual. It took me a while to accept myself but in the end i did. While it means i go both ways i have a sleight preference to males though." Jon paused and looked David over before continuing "But don't worry you aren't my type." David let out a sigh of relief at that. "As time went by i told a few trusted friends and they accepted me fine, i found out one of my closest friends was Bi too. As for high school only one person there knew...well thats how it used to be." Jon sighed as he finished talking and took another drag on his cigarette.
"Used to?..what happened?" David asked as he blew a smoke ring and watched it float towards the ceiling.
Jon exhaled and resumed his tale "Well a new kid came to the school. He was..well...so cute i couldn't help it. I kept an eye on him from afar never daring to approach him. But one day all that changed...I was standing in the corridor and He approached me and we got talking. OK he was an average looking fox but i don't know i just couldn't help fall for him. His name was Sean. We exchanged emails and agreed to talk later as the bell had just rung."
"His name 'was' Sean?...Is he dead?" David asked as he moved closer to Jon.
David saw the beginning of tears well up in Jon's eyes. "Well I'll get to that in time...We talked online a lot. We had a lot in common and grew to become close friends. But as much as i wanted to i couldn't tell him i loved him. After a few months had passed i found the courage i needed. We where at the cinema and i told him how i felt...I expected him to walk away and never talk to me again. He told me he loved me too and we became a couple." Jon said as tears flowed down his face.
Jon lit himself another cigarette and took a long,deep draw. He exhaled loudly before speaking "We kept it secret. We didn't do a thing in public, not that it mattered in the end. A guy at school hates me and he hacked my computer. He watched in real time as we chatted and talked about how we felt about each other. The next day the whole school knew. We didn't let them bother us and we carried on our relationship...until one night...Sean was walking home alone. A guy from my school called Joesph was a huge homophobe. He beat Sean to death with a steel bar. The whole school knew it was him but there was no evidence. This morning i got my revenge. I took my dads gun with me.I walked up behind him and put it against his skull and fired 5 shots. Made quite a mess it did. The police arrived and arrested me shortly afterwards, before i could escape...not that i cared in the least." Jon walked to the corner and put his fingers down his throat and was sick. "My parents didn't know but no doubt they do now." Jon said as he took the object he had vomited up and opened it. It was a small but sharp folding knife wrapped in a condom. "David, i need you to do me a favor...tell my story, spread the word. It's not right that gays and bis should suffer as we do." Jon said as he began to fold out the blade.
"Why don't you tell the world Jon?" David asked curiously.
"Because i don't want to live without him anymore...good bye David." Jon said as he pulled the knife from his elbow to his wrist on both arms. Jon fell to the floor as his blood gushed out and stained his white fur.
"SOMEBODY HELP!!" David yelled as he pounded on the cell door. By the time the guard was there it was too late Jon had gone and found the rest he desired. David attended the funeral and did as Jon had asked, to this day he travels the country talking of setting aside the old ways and accepting people as they are without bias or prejudice.
