Description Arie wrapped the towel around her midriff, and looked into the mirror. Her fur was still a mess, and no amount of brushing was going to help. Still she had to try.

Cocking her head to the side, gave her pause, encircling her neck lines of twisting scars lingered. Her hands began to shake at the sight of them, as memories long buried came bubbling back. Cold stone, a dark room, the glass wall, and the ever present White Coats who strode around tapping their clipboards, cold eyes fixed on her.

The phantom collar still eat into her neck, and there were still nights she awake clutching at her throat, gasping for air. She looked into the mirror again, and for half a heartbeat she could see it, black with silver housing containing its three lights. Green, Yellow, and Red.

Fingers brushed the flesh where the box and been set against her neck, traced the scars there. She had been screaming, clawing, desperate to get it off, half blind with pain, she had clawed and clawed and clawed.

Red rivers had run down her muzzle, but they wouldn’t stop, a shudder took her and forced her to look away from the creature in the mirror.

Bad Blood.

Unstable.

Dangerous.

Those were the words she heard each day, Unstable, Bad Blood, Dangerous. The words brought her to her knees, sinking down to the wet floor she curled her legs to her chest and huddled in the corner. Long ears flopping down to cover her like a matted blanked, she wept.

How long she remained there Arie could not say, only that when she moved, the water in her fur had turned cold.

It would not do, drying herself off, she took up a brush, and began to carefully work the fur around her neck, hiding what must not be seen.  

C.S. Notes: Q: How long have those been there?
                   A: From the beginning. T.T A Dangerous Crossbreed

It is a bit of a tear jerker,Arie's life was never easy, due to her mixed blood she is feared by herbivores and despised by predators.

I suspect she could do with some comforting, well, a lot of it truth be told.

As for the why, that was due to fear, fear of what she was, what she represents, and fear of the unknown. And, no, you are correct she did not deserve any of what came her way.

But, she does have a family to watch over her now. So her life is begining to look up.

And thank you, I like to create emotional pieces that people can relate to, and be moved.

I can only hope that her situation gets better in later comics. It's gonna be honestly depressing if all she does is get beat down by society for what she is.

Not to worry, her situation is being worked on, as she is up for adoption, and someone has shown interest in taking her in.

Just remember the great Leech saying: It's always darkest, right before everything goes pitch black.

Triply knew Arie had been in there for far too long.  She wanted to see what was the matter.  She knocks on the door before slipping inside.  "Arie?  What's the matter?"  When she sees Arie curled up in the corner she approaches, not caring for the water drenching her clothes and she kneels down and pulls Arie in close.  "C'mon, I'll help you finish getting cleaned and then we can talk about it, kay?"  She kisses her on the cheek, radiating nothing but love and understanding.  She might not have gone through the abuse that Arie did, but she too once had a collar around her neck and that's why she was so patient with the woman.

She guides her out of the shower to give her a vigorous toweling.  And then wrap one around herself so she doesn't catch a chill.  She gets the brush to work it through the tangles of Arie's fur, meticulous care made to work out the knots and tangles easily while making sure not one is missed.

Code-Shark In reply to Mylon [2017-04-04 21:52:38 +0000 UTC]

Arie's fur seems to have a will of it's own, almost as wild as she is, changing direction at random, seeking to entangle itself with the hair around it. As Triply begins working out the knots, Arie slowly calms, the rhythmic motion of the brush soothing her, as though by working out the tangles in her fur, so are the tangles of her life unwound.

The towel helped, Arie pulled it closer around her body like a blanket. Triply's presence eased the situation, and in the silence Arie slowly worked through the memories, burying them deep. Stay. And don't come back, she bid them. Just stay, and let me forget.

Code-Shark In reply to Mach-The-Hedgehog [2017-04-05 08:31:19 +0000 UTC]

Lacking any measuring stick that gets a little fuzzy. But making a heroic stab at it: Nera, when relaxed stands about a head and shoulders over Nick. Judy is slightly taller, but should Amenii raise her ears that makes her hight a few inches higher.

There is one old picture, this may help, or cause more problems: code-shark.deviantart.com/art/…

Yup... And Arie may be just above them... speaking of which, I would think Amenii and Nera would be amazed by the giant striped bunny wabbit with fangs.

Nera would probably think she is cute, Amenii would be shocked that someone like that existed. It would be interesting to see how they would interact together.
