Chapter 3 - Chapter 2-Welcome To Harvestville

November 1, 2019  

Everyone started to get off including me I grab my backpack and started  to listen to some music with my red skull candy headphones we all said thank you to the bus driver, once I was outside the bus I was mesmerized by the town and its colors, it was peaceful to say the least I smile as I started to walk and explore the town, everywhere I went it was full of various unique stores and animals living their daily lives I found myself at a small park that was surrounded by gift shops and across the park a dinner I then heard my stomach grumble I chuckled at this "guess I have a quick bite", I haven't eaten anything. I said to myself as I heard my stomach grumble some more and make my way towards the dinner the name of the dinner was "Dine-N-Dash" with a picture of a neuron cat holding a tray of food smiling, I open the doors and saw several animals just living their normal lives a memory from my past came into play as I walked in and my vision kept flashing, I saw blood and a body being drug behind the kitchen sand loud noises, screaming in terror and agony and then a red panda flew over the counter in a comedic way his body was badly mutilated the sound of flesh and blood squishing was heard...it was a beautiful memory. I shook my head and made towards an empty boo

"Don't think like that, don't remember just Sunshine & Rainbows no more just Sunshine & Rainbows" I murmured quietly to myself as I took my seat and scan the dinner it was decorated with Day of the Dead decorations and it looked like one of those stereotypical 80s diners packed with many animals dressed in unique clothes and gossip talk. I then saw a menu next to the napkin box and picked it up and scan towards the menu and saw several jaw-watering food I licked my lips as I saw the various delicious meals on the menu I then spotted a young tigress dressed in a cute uniform around the same age as me coming to take my order as I put my menu down and remove my earbuds and pause the song I was listening. 

"Hello! Welcome to Dine-N-Dash! I'm Sheila Stripes. How May I take your order? She introduced herself with a cute and cheerful shy smile and tone. Let's just hope I don't freak her out with my eyes and teeth I thought to myself as people always seemed unsettled and intimidated by the look of my eyes and teeth. 

"Sure, I would like a fried salmon with french fries and rootbeer along with a banana cream pie and some fried onions." I said with a sly politely smile on my muzzle, as she smiles and proceed to write down my order with her pen "your food will be ready in a few minutes," she said as she walked away with a smile on her face, I decided to kill time by playing games on my cell phone but as I did where was I going to stay and sleep? Okay, a hotel was out of the question and I didn't want to sleep in somebody's house. That is until I heard another voice inside my voice more smooth and monovalent and obviously this was Hush one of the voices in my head. 

"You can always be settled in an abandoned house or warehouse and cabin. Zachary." Hush said in his usual malevolent smooth sly voice that somehow was relaxing for me I nodded at his suggestion houses and warehouses that were abandoned always was way warmer than sleeping in an alleyway and to be honest I missed my house and the asylum where everything was great and normal but it's too late to change what I did I let out a sigh I then spotted Sheila coming my way with a tray of food and I could I already smell the delicious aroma of mouth-watering food and man did it smell good as I can already flavor it. "Here you go, I hope you enjoy your meal," she said with a kind yet cute shy smile on her muzzle it warms my soul seeing someone like her working so hard and greeting people with a kind smile, reminding me of my sister back home I hope she and the rest of my family are doing well. 

"Thanks," I said to her with a kind smile, I decided to have a little fun with her and tease her a bit I was always a jokester "Names Zachary Brighten by the way it is such an honor to meet such a cute girl like yourself and trust when that I meant those words," I said with w a ly smirk on my muzzle causing her to blush and stutter it was an adorable sight, to say the least causing some of her co-workers to giggle and gossip among themselves at her embarrassment. 

"T-Thank you that's very nice of you," she said meekly with a shade of red as she shifted shyly on the floor I chuckled at her behavior and respond however I did notice that she never was unsettled by my eyes and teeth which some of them were snuggled and my size is taken by surprise and smile at this responds. 

"You're welcome," I said to her. We chatted for a little while before she told me she needed to get back to work in which I responded with an understanding nod and once I was done eating I left her a tip of 20 dollars. I then walked out of the dinner with my tummy full of energy okay now to find a place to stay as I explored the town. I found the people to be really welcoming. I then spotted an abandoned warehouse on the corner of my eye, Bingo! It didn't look like government property "Okay now to buy stuff," I said to myself as I knew I needed to buy a sleeping bag, blankets and an extra pair of clothes but then something hit me "Ahhh shit, shower going to figure that out" I cursed to myself as I knew I would have to take showers eventually. 

The town's center was an amazing place, to say the least, it was alive with animals, decorations, banners, and music that brought memories to Ohio-Woods you know before I turned it into a town of the most horrifying murders and gruesome crime scenes, think I overdid it? Nah. As I made my way towards a store that read "Happy Campers". I open the doors and doorbell ring I was hit by the smell of pumpkin spice and pine cones it was very pleasant the store was playing relaxing spooky music, the store was very large from the inside compared to how it looks from the inside and it was a very nice story with gifts and camping equipment there were several animals being clothing, campaign items and items I was checking out some backpacks and duffle bags when I heard a commotion curiosity got the better of me and I turn around to see some animals having a debate and judging by it wasn't very civilize there was a Fox, a donkey and a weasel.

"What is your problem, David!?" The fox around the same age as me was yelling at the donkey in which both of them were wearing a green polo shirt with the store logo and black pants. Among them there was a weasel wearing a brown hoodie and grey shorts around his pre-teens looking mad and bitter. "This is like the sixth time you do this, I just had it with you, you fucking asshole! I just have the nerve to tell the manager of your actions!!!" He yelled angrily at his co-worker throwing his arms in gestures to emphasize his anger at him. 

"For what!? This little bastard was harassing me!!! His words offended me! Plus I'm sure he was stealing something!!" The Donkey screamed furiously while pointing a hand at the young weasel spitefully while scoffing at the weasel as he shrunk down at the words of the donkey causing his co-worker to loudly say his name "Don't David me! And don't call me that!!! You have a nerve Mike, to accuse me of things I haven't done, compare to this untrustworthy pathetic weasel little shit" He said with pure venom as he turned towards the weasel in which in return causes him to snap at the donkey with some contain anger on his tone 

"First of all I was asking for help, while you were amazingly sleeping before you loudly tell me to piss off and second of all I only said 'you didn't have to act like that" in no way I called you an ass or a mule, you were making an ass out of yourself and third of all, 

you called me a racist for no reason just because of my southern accent." He said crossing his arms while glaring at the donkey who only grew in frustration and growled at the weasel with such a temper that I swear that it looked like he wanted to punch the weasel I rolled my eyes at this behavior and decided to hear more cause why not? 

"I saw the whole thing David, now apologize or else this will go to the manager and he will take from your pay and probably not fire you," The fox said sternly and that was the breaking point the donkey exploded and gaining unwanted attraction wow what an ass I'm a right? 

"You filthy fox!!! How dare you!! I deserve to be paid more than you!! In fact, all your predators are the fucking same we prey are always oppress and you have no right to call me an ass!! The manager can't fire me, he needs me otherwise his business will be out forever and please I have seen my fair share of monkeys like him and they're all the same!" He said angrily pushing the fox and oh boy was he furious and when I mean furious is throwing things on the floor eating disapproving murmurs by co-workers and customers.

"You sure act like ass David," The Fox said bitterly as he crossed his arms angrily and turned to walk away in disgust, the donkey heard this and without even thinking grab a hold of the fox, spun him around, he was about to throw a punch only for me to step up and caught it causing several gasps of shock, as the donkeys eyes widen at my height and everyone just stared as it was quiet. 

"Is there a problem here?" I smile widely revealing my sharp teeth and looking at the donkey with my crazed eyes and I could see the fear and unsettling expression he muster as I release his first and only for him to gather his composure and glared daggers at me as he crosses his arms and try to look tough how pathetic if only I could kill him here and now but I'm not that type of hybrid now. 

"No, there isn't and what if there was, it's none of your business "'freak," He said spitefully with a smirk on his face 

"Touche" I replied with a smirk of my own "Well I do believe there is a problem and that problem is you, I saw your behavior earlier and all I gotta say it's quite brave how you act like the victims like are you serious," I said as I play with my claws not looking at him dragging one claw with the others and smile at him "your pathetic and animals like you that don't work don't deserve money and deserve to get fire, plus if I were you I would watch out for security cameras" I smirked as I saw his eyes widen in fear this revolution "I chuckled darkly as I walked towards him sharpening my nails with each other I was close to his face "so you have three options: apologize or quit or go to jail." I said as soon as I said that he turned around to runway as I stare at him with my eyes and smile I could smell the fear and see he was unsettled but was met face to face with the manger in which he turned pale as he looked at the manager a capuchin monkey having a dead glare that read "just because I'm small in no pushover" being on the shoulder of a silverback gorilla 

"M-Mis-Mister Wi-Wise I-I can explain!" The Donkey only stuttered as he looked down at the Gorilla and Monkey which only growled at him, I smiled at this fear and reaction now he's done it, serves him right. The Monkey only held at a finger to stop him and spoke in a deep growl voice which I got to admit for a small capuchin monkey he sure had a deep growl anyways this should be interesting I was trying my hardest not to clap. 

"You got five minutes to leave my store, David! Your fucking fire!!" The capuchin monkey scream violently at the 'donkey as the Donkey tried to protest the gorilla crack his knuckles causing the donkey to frantically run at the door all the while why shouting promotions and claiming this is over I couldn't help it anymore and started to laugh out loud everyone's direction turn towards me as I clap at the performance they all look at me funny as I wheeze and it took me a while to relax "I'm sorry but that was hilarious at how he runs, I seen my fair share of assholes but this donkey was truly an ASS" I earning a few chuckles from customers and from the weasel and the fox and an amused look from the capuchin monkey and eye roll from the gorilla "Oh where are my manners names Zachary Brighten is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Wise" I said extending my pee for a handshake in which he returns as well as the gorilla which had a good grip like myself. 

"All pleasure to meet you young man named Monty Wise manager and co-owner of happy campers and this quiet big guy is our local security Kevin Truck most of us call him Truck cause he punches like a moving Truck," Monty said as he introduced himself and Kevin "I gotta thank you for defending MIke and one of my customers, I had just had it with that donkey" He replied in a stressful tone as he cups his hand and drag it slowly across his face "always being lazy and harassing others and making a mess but I didn't think he will take this far." 

"Hey no problem, I honestly can't stand animals that  like him being hypocrites and dickheads like him acting like the victim," I said as I look at my nails and playing with them "sorry if I look distracted is a bad habit of mine," I said embarrassed and ashamed as I always have trouble focusing and maintaining eye contact when not acting crazy he chuckled and told me there was no harm done and excuse himself as he had to make a phone call to a cat in which I figure out was the owner, I nodded and soon he and the gorilla left leaving me alone with the weasel and fox, I saw that some customers were busy and returning to their business dam that donkey surely make a mess. 

"Thank you.." I heard a shy voice coming from the fox, who was clearly shaken up of almost being beaten up, the  weasel came walking next to him and boy I had to say they look adorable and cute as they stood there shuffling nervously I couldn't blame them since I was like eight ft feet tall, I smile revealing some of my shape teeth at the praise I was receiving I saw them shift nervously as they saw that some of them were snaggle, making me look scary, sometimes I found how I can make other unsettled really funny and incredible if all the victims acting paranoid before their grisly gorey demise and all they end up seeing my dark red crazed eyes filled with ill towards them and them screaming in fear at them. 

"Just happy to help, now what's your name?" I said tilting my head as I waited for them to introduce themselves but there were still too shy to introduce themselves "Aww come on, I promise I won't bite especially towards two cute animals like you" I grin as they blush heavily and that shock them out of their nervousness the first one to introduce himself was the fox.

"My-My name is Mike Swiftly" He introduced himself with a shy wave, with his paw as he hugged his tail to his chest, now that was adorable I started to shift sadly too the next one to introduce himself was the weasel and boy was he just as nervous and shy as the fox even more as he stuttered I don't see how the donkey think this guy was a problem and not himself some animals I swear. 

"I'm Darell Weasly, thanks for the assistance," he said in a heavy southern voice trying to be tough but his nervousness and shyness was not helping. With introductions out of the way we chatted for a while mostly about me having to put David the Ass a nickname used by Mike and others who dislike him for being a complete ass quite ironic if you think about it, Darell said that needed to go as he promised to go hang out with his cousins in which both me and Mike understood I also told Mike that I was looking for some sleeping bags, blankets and duffle bags in which he helped me select some of them, after paying for what I needed I thank him and headed outside, In my way out I noticed that it was getting late, time sure flies when you're having fun, am I right?

"I better hurry up and make my final choices and decisions, also found a place to sleep," I said to myself as I headed to a local mall, however I couldn't stop thinking about how nice that fox was, insisting that he could take care of the mess but I still persuade him to allow me to help him a shy little fella he was, that's for sure he also acted a little strange every time. Oh well not that it matters, but still he never was bothered by my behavior which was strange considering that most animals couldn't feel a little uneasy talking to an eight ft tall hybrid of a maned wolf like me, my tall size and strength has been the downfall of many of my victims as I swing down my chop trap on them and hack them or mutilate their bodies with my bare paws or anything I come across. I may look scrawny but in reality I'm a beast, I have killed so many that is not even funny anymore, oh wait is still so funny watching them think they can take me. 

I gotta admit walking around without doing my serial killer routine is relaxing, still not sure If I should consider myself an ex-serial killer, knowing that I spent two years in a mental asylum and lied about being cured I mean what is the worst thing that can happen to me? Or anyone regarding my reputation, I'm surprised it took the cops one year to capture and lock me up in an asylum. You know now that I think about it, I wonder what will happen if I wasn't locked up or thrown to jail. Sometimes I feel that my life feels like a b-horror comedy movie. I have also gotten down in the record of most wanted serial killers and to the point that people even called me the real Jason Voorhes, only that you know I'm alive and not dead, at first I just killed left and right not caring if any other animal saw me yet I have to take some precautions. I let out a small whine as my ears dropped for a moment remembering how scared I was about getting caught but never did, some got away others not so lucky. Another thing that I took on reconsideration is how to utilize my victims and over the years I got better, as I use power tools, kitchen plates, cars, cords, barbwire, lawnmowers, etc. the list keeps going on and on. For example a young ant-eater got force feed acid a rapist groundhog got his privates turn into paste by a meat tenderizer before having shoved down his throat, others were carved like wood or pumpkins earning another nickname 'The Carpenter of Dead' but the most famous one was Deadwood The Slasher of Ohio-Woods. What people did notice was that I only targeted bullies, rapists, murderers, trolls or anyone that was a terrible person, yet bullies I didn't know how to feel about the one especially if they were in school like my first kill two young cheetahs around sixteen to eighteen. I really hate having morality and deciding what is wrong and right, it was a bitch to decide who dies or who doesn't?...Oh well, let's go shopping!
