Vile Rabbit Chapter 4: changes 1

A little while later, Mother returned. She held in her mouth a blue plant he had never seen before.

He watched as she chewed the plant, then fed it to his sick siblings via mouth-to-mouth. He noticed that after five minutes of eating the plant, his siblings shivered and their eyes started to brighten up. He felt relief but still worried about how long it would take them to fully recover.

Two days passed, and he remained by his brother and sister's side. Even though they were still sick, they were much better than before. During these past days, Mother had remained diligent, ventured out in the cold, and returned with the blue plant. She had created soft bedding made of the sa blue plants. All of them snuggled together on the bedding with the siblings in the center.

The next morning, he caught sight of his mother leaving again. She looked at him, eyes filled with reassurance, and gestured that she would be back and that he should frequently check on his siblings.

Hours passed as he remained snuggling with his siblings, his eyes locked on them, watching their every mont. Another five minutes passed, and he noticed sothing: his brother's breathing seed to be fading.

He panicked, grabbed so of the blue plant, chewed it, then fed it to his brother mouth-to-mouth, but nothing changed. His brother's breath was still fading rapidly, and soon his chest stopped moving up and down. He nudged him gently, hoping to garner so type of reaction, but his brother only lay still, his once bright eyes now dull and lifeless.

Pain gripped his heart. He pressed his body against his brother's own, hoping that he could sohow transfer the warmth from his body to his brother's body, and that would allow his brother to start moving again, but it was futile. He looked around, confused and helpless.

'Why did brother stop moving? Is he sleeping? If he is sleeping, why isn't he waking up?' He continued to nudge him.

'What is this uncomfortable feeling inside ? Maybe brother needs more grass...' He grabbed so blue grass, chewed it up, and fed his brother mouth-to-mouth again. His brother still didn't move, so he did it again, and again, and again, still his brother didn't react.

The little rabbit didn't understand what had happened; it was its first ti witnessing death. Sothing deep inside told it that its brother would never move again, sothing told it that its brother was gone. Subconsciously, it pressed its tummy on the ground and started to grind its teeth together.

Right at that mont, their mother returned, and upon seeing her son's lifeless body, she was heartbroken. She held his lifeless body and purred. The little black rabbit leaned on her and also started purring while gazing at its brother's corpse. Their voice filled with sadness echoed throughout the burrow.

As he gazed at his brother's lifeless body, sothing within him started to change.

After a while, he turned to his sister and sighed in relief, seeing her still breathing. Mother dug a shallow hole in the corner of the burrow and buried his brother inside it. After that, she inspected his sister, then fed her so blue plant, and his sister nibbled it eagerly.

Days turned into nights, and two days passed. He stayed close to his sister, only leaving occasionally to eat. During these two days, he observed his sister slowly regaining her strength, her eyes regaining their previous clarity. Today she started to move around, albeit slowly. He was extrely happy.

He explained to her what happened to their other sibling, but he wasn't quite sure she understood. When he expressed to her that their sibling was gone and they wouldn't be seeing him again, she only stared at him in a daze....

The absence of his brother lingered in his mind like a shadow. He often found himself looking for him, hoping that he would find him curled up beside him or hopping around playfully, and that his death wasn't real.

Another day passed. Today he woke up because of extre pain. He had never felt pain like this before, his eyes felt like they had been stab with a sharp object, he whimpered and rolled on the ground with his paws over his eyes.

His mother and sister were awakened by his movents. They looked at him with confusion and concern. They wanted to help him but didn't know how.

Fortunately, not long after, the pain went away. His eyes widened in shock; the world he saw before was completely different from before. Everything was brighter and more colorful.

He could now see a full 360 degrees, and looking at his mother and sister, he could see every detail of their fur and he could also see,black dust like things floating around. The most shocking thing was that the world seed to have slowed down.

Things in the burrow that he hadn't noticed before were now naked before him. Suddenly his body felt weak, then the world in his eyes returned to normal, and a second later, darkness consud him and he fell to the ground, passed out. His mother and sister saw this and rushed to him with concern. They licked his fur worriedly.

A few minutes later, he regained consciousness. This ti the world was normal. He then expressed to his mother and sister that he was fine, then walked to a corner of the burrow.

He was puzzled about what had just happened. He didn't know what had happened, but he liked it. He wondered how he could do it again. He stared intensely at the dirt wall in front of him, hoping to trigger sothing, but nothing happened. Multiple ideas appeared in his mind, but they all failed one by one, and soon he gave up...

Four days later, 300 ters from the burrow stood a black rabbit. Its black fur stood out among the white snow.

He was now 4.5 ft long, and his body had beco more muscular, especially his hind legs. He held in his paws the lifeless body of a squirrel-like creature. He stared at it intensely with a weird expression on his face. He had taken the life of this creature; he didn't know why he did it.

He was just exploring the forest, when he saw this creature, his body moved on its own. And Before the creature could react, he grabbed it and broke its neck.

When he ca to his senses, he was holding its lifeless body in his hands. He looked at it intensely; the creature was gone just like his brother, and it would never move on it's own again. Various thoughts flowed through his mind.

He didn't feel guilt for what he did, nor did he feel pain like when his brother died. No, deep down he felt thrilled and excite.

He taken this creature's life...

He suddenly turned his head to the right and sniffed the air. He then threw the dead creature in a random direction.

A few seconds later, his sister appeared. She looked at him and purred softly, asking him if he wanted to play. His expression changed to a loving one as he answered

"yes".

Right at that mont, he heard a flapping sound above him. He looked up, and his eyes flashed with surprise. Above him was a bird; its blue feathers shimred under the sunlight as it flew past him.

It was the first flying creature he had seen, and the third creature in total he had seen. He was curious as to the reason why it could fly. Gazing at it, he soon realized it was due to its wings, and couldn't help but wonder why he didn't have any wings. With that thought ca a desire - the desire to kill that creature, rip off its wings.

'Since i couldn't fly, why should this creature be able to?.. no, wait,why do I have these thoughts ?' He questioned his self.He felt sothing with him had changed, ever since his brother died...

He felt sothing nudging him, waking him from his thoughts. It was his sister. He rembered that she wanted to play, but he changed his mind because he noticed that it was getting close to nightti. He gestured to her that it was ti to return ho.

When they were about half way from the burrow, he faintly sense as if sothing was watch him. He scanned the surroundings and sniff the air, but he didn't find anything.

He thought he was mistaken, but recalling his mother's warnings, he gestured to his sister for them to speed up. They sped off towards the burrow, leaving paw prints in the snow.

100 ters from the burrow, suddenly, a terrifying pressure washed over him, the pressure caused his body froze. He tried to move, but his body wouldn't listen to him.he then saw sothing blur past him, and then he felt a strong gust of wind. A second later, he heard a loud and painful scream.

"EEEEEEEEK!"

He imdiately recognized it was the voice of his sister; his heart sank. Fighting with all his might, he sohow managed to move his head a little.

He turned and saw sothing that scarred his mind, sothing that will send him further down the road of no return.
