Beastars: The Beast and Louis

Chapter 12

I stood up and turned around. I pulled my top over my head so he could see mg back. The five claw marks from Bill the bengal tiger.

"That looks like it was a deep wound. Now for the fun part. How did you get it?"

"Bill. The one you had a verbal fight with today. He did this to me. We were in the middle of a performance at the time. Louis was injured with a broken ankle, although he acted as if he was fine. No one knew he was hurt really bad. Bill was drinking herbivore blood to pep himself up for his big performance as he was filling in for Louis, as the main roll. I confronted him before the show began but I felt to angry and attacked him when I had to fill in for Bill when he was promoted. We fought it out in front of everyone in audience. He got me into a position where his back was facing the crowd and I was in a tight embrace over his shoulder. He ripped open my flesh right there and then. Louis told everyone afterwards that it was planned all along. We had to pretend that it was too. Bill isn't a bad person, he can just loose himself." I explained.

"Herbivore blood? What type?" He asked me.

"Dwarf rabbit." I said back remembering the smell. Diesel growled at this.

"Pep himself up? You know that sipping blood of a herbivore does nothing. It's only when you actually have the animal in front of you, then and only then will it make your adrenaline course around your body.  He was drinking herbivore blood because he liked the taste, which is increasing the possibility that he could devour someone. Losing all control of himself to his primal instincts." He spoke with a saddened tone.

"Do you think he could be Tem's... never mind. The carnivore that did it was never caught. There is no evidence to show it was Bill or anyone. Though it must have been someone..." I trailed off rambling to myself.

"What's this? Why don't you tell me everything about this Tem fella." He said sitting forward in his chair.

Louis's POV:

That wolf left early. With the show in a few half terms time we can't be cutting corners. Our performance has to be perfection.

I headed back to my office. A thought replaying on my mind. If everyone here has a story that's so traumatic to be scouted then... what's Diesel and Heidi's story?

I know all the animal's stories except for Legoshi, Diesel and Heidi. I must ask him but not alone. I don't want the accident to happen again.

What even was that? He went no where near my flesh with his fangs he only grazed the skin, bruising it slightly, when he bit down a bit. But he seemed to be untangling my fur. I had that knot in my fur for weeks.

He had no intention of devouring me... but what was that? Maybe I should ask someone. Or Doogle it? Yeah, that's what I'll do!

I pulled out my phone and went to the search engine. I typed in 'animals licking each other'. Pressing the enter button I was taken to a page of links.

I clicked on the first one that appeared. It was an article from a doctor of psychology. I read the text scanning for any relevant words.

'"What does it mean when animals lick each other?"

Well this sort of behaviour doesn't occur in every spices or animal classes. So what animals do, do it? Well I have studied this for 7 of my years here at the lab. I have uncovered in my research that this particular behaviour only occurs in cats, wild cats, wild dogs and dogs.

Felines are less likely to have this behaviour although still can. For Canines it is common.

So what exactly does it mean? Well after a study on many dogs and cats, roughly half of them told me that they did it out of affection. It is a sign of love towards someone love romantically. That could be a crush, lover an towards a husband or wife.

The other half told me that they had no idea why they did it. They said it was like they lost all control of their instincts and took over them. Scientists and psychologists have no idea why they lost all control and have yet to tell them what happened to them exactly.'

I looked up from my phone. A person that love romantically? No that can't be it! Can't it? No way... he was with Jude earlier and was not pushing her away.

My fists clenched and a wave of anger stuck me. Why am I getting angry at the thought of June and Diesel? What if they are going to be an item? That thought made me angrier.

A knock came at the door. Kai the mongoose opened it and came in.

"Don't enter until I say so!" I snarled at him.

"Fine." He huffed. "All I wanted was to as you a question but if your gonna be like that, I'll leave." He spoke and walked over to the door. He grabbed the handle before pausing. "What's up with you today? Your acting strange. And not a good strange."

"What are you talking about. I'm not acting any different than any other day!" I snapped at him.

"Jeez! Okay! Okay! Don't get your antlers in a twist. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, shish!" He said before opening the door and leaving.

Was I really acting different due to that mutt?
