00:00I was only 5 days old when someone dumped me at the edge of the herbivore district.
00:03The carnivore territory was right next door.
00:05No rabbit had ever gone in there and come out alive, but I did.
00:08A pack of massive predators, all different species, closed in around me.
00:11Their leader was a Siberian tiger.
00:13He stepped out of the shadows, his entire body covered in claw scars.
00:16He crouched down and poked my cheek with one claw.
00:18I grabbed his paw and mumbled,
00:19Dada.
00:20Every last one of those ruthless predators melted on the spot.
00:23So, should we keep her?
00:25And just like that, one tiny rabbit ended up with 108 dads.
00:28My dads were the most feared predators.
00:30Every single one of them had his face on a wanted poster.
00:32I spent the next 18 years keeping my head down, terrified I might expose them.
00:36To everyone else, I was just some invisible little bunny.
00:39Then I got into Klauteng High, the best school in the entire Zuton.
00:42Until that year, it had only accepted carnivores.
00:45I was the only herbivore there.
00:47That was how spotty Whitluck, a snow leopard, and her little entourage cornered me in the girls' tathroom.
00:53She yanked me around by my long ears and ripped open my uniform.
00:56Her friends filmed while she can dump ice water all over me.
01:00A grass maunder thinks she can get into ice water all university?
01:02Keep dreaming, Harper.
01:03She shoved her phone right into my face.
01:06Say it.
01:06Look into the camera and say you're grass-eating trash.
01:09Say your whole family has no right to live in this town.
01:12Otherwise, I'll eat you after school tomorrow.
01:15Go ahead and see if the law can stop me.
01:17I sunk my teeth into her wrists and dragged her through the third floor window with me.
01:20Thanks to her snow leopard reflexes, she landed perfectly.
01:23I slammed straight into the pavement.
01:26When I woke up, I was lying in the nurse's office.
01:28Mrs. Cackle jabbed a finger at my face and screamed.
01:31A rabbit biting a snow leopard?
01:33Are you insane?
01:35Call your parents right now.
01:36I'd love to see what kind of freaks raised a little mutt like you.
01:39If no one shows up today, you're expelled.
01:41Cold sweat broke out across my entire body.
01:44My ears flattened against my back.
01:45Mrs. Cackle, are you sure you want me to call my parents?
01:51Enough.
01:52Frost Whiteluck stormed over and backhanded me off the bed.
01:55Filthy prey.
01:56You dared touch my daughter?
01:57Call your parents.
01:58Right now.
01:58Frost Whiteluck was the biggest animal feed supplier in the city.
02:01He controlled the food supply for nearly every herbvore in town.
02:04Mr. Whitlock, I promise the school will take this very seriously.
02:07Mrs. Cackle turned and immediately started yelling at me again.
02:10Harper, look what you did to Spotty.
02:12Call your parents and get them down here.
02:14I lowered my head and clenched my paws.
02:16Mrs. Cackle, Spotty and her friends cornered me in the bathroom first.
02:20She threatened to eat me.
02:21I was only...
02:22Dad, she's lying.
02:24I was just walking by when she went crazy and shoved me out the window.
02:27She's just jealous I'm a predator and she's not.
02:30Shut up, Harper.
02:31It's perfectly clear who started this.
02:33Mrs. Cackle dragged me into the hallway and smacked the phone against my face.
02:36Call them and tell them to get their asses over here.
02:39Students swarmed around us, whispering and greening.
02:41But as I stared at my contact list, I couldn't make the call.
02:44Papa Khan used to pat my head and go,
02:46If anyone touches one tiny piece of fur on your body, you tell me.
02:50I'll make their entire family disappear from this city.
02:52But every one of my dads was a wanted criminal.
02:55Papa Khan was a gang boss.
02:56Dad 3, Reynard, trafficked contraband.
02:59Dad 15, Snap, ran an underground fighting ring.
03:02Dad 78, Carrion, was a loan shark.
03:04They always left before sunrise and came home late at night.
03:07Their bodies would be covered in fresh claw marks
03:09and they were constantly talking about cops they'd run into.
03:12The news kept saying no lawbreaker would be shown mercy.
03:14I shuddered.
03:15I couldn't drag my dads into this.
03:17Flattening my ears, I made one last attempt.
03:19My dad grows carrots out in the country.
03:21He lives really far away, so he can't come.
03:24You can suspend me or put it on my record.
03:26Just please don't call him.
03:29He grows carrots?
03:31No wonder he raised such a pathetic little rabbit.
03:34Disgust twisted Mrs. Cackle's face.
03:36Can you afford Spotty's medical bills and emotional damages?
03:41Make the call.
03:42How much is it?
03:43I can pay.
03:44My dads had given me a stack of black cards,
03:46but I had never dared use a single one.
03:48Still, they could cover this easily.
03:50Frost stepped forward and flicked a card at Ms. Cackle.
03:53There's one million dollars on that card.
03:55Consider it a donation to the school.
03:57My request is simple.
03:58Her parents come here and apologize,
04:00or I call the police.
04:02Once she has a criminal record,
04:03she can kiss Apex University goodbye forever.
04:06Ms. Cackle's eyes lit up instantly.
04:08You heard him, Harper.
04:09This is your last chance.
04:11Call your carrot-mulking father and make him apologize,
04:14or would you rather spend the rest of your life
04:16with a criminal record?
04:18I couldn't have a record.
04:19I needed to get into Apex University,
04:21land a job at the city archives,
04:23and create clean identities for my dads.
04:25Then they wouldn't have to spend the rest of their lives hiding.
04:27I stared at Ms. Cackle's greedy face,
04:29then at Frost's smug smile.
04:31Tears flooded my eyes.
04:33Don't call the police.
04:34I'll call him.
04:35I'll call him right now.
04:37With shaking paws,
04:39I tapped the first contact on my phone,
04:41Papa Khan.
04:42He was a Siberian tiger and a gang leader,
04:44but compared to my other dads,
04:45he was practically respectable.
04:47I just prayed he could pretend to be normal long enough
04:49to get us through this.
04:51Harper.
04:51He answered on the first ring.
04:53His voice immediately warmed with a smile.
04:55Papa, my throat tightened.
04:57My teacher wants you to come to school.
04:59School?
04:59My girl won another award, didn't she?
05:02This is the first time you've ever invited your old man.
05:05Stay right there.
05:06I'm coming.
05:07No, I didn't.
05:08I was about to explain when a tiger's roar exploded through the phone.
05:12A bull screamed.
05:13Then came the sickening thud of bone snapping.
05:16Clean it up.
05:17My ears shot straight up.
05:19Every sound from the other end poured directly into my head.
05:22When I was little,
05:23Papa Khan always came home smelling like blood.
05:26He'd tell me it rubbed off on him at work.
05:29When he spoke to me again,
05:30his voice turned gentle.
05:31What happened, sweetheart?
05:33Was he doing something dangerous right now?
05:35Was he hurt?
05:35My heart pounded so hard,
05:37it felt ready to burst.
05:38You didn't win,
05:39so someone got to you.
05:41Don't move.
05:41I'm on my way.
05:44Wait, no.
05:45Dad, it's nothing.
05:46Seriously.
05:47I've got this.
05:48Go back to whatever you're doing.
05:49I'm hanging up.
05:51Miss Cackle lunged for my phone.
05:53Did I say you could hang up?
05:54We are not finished here.
05:55Another slap cracked across my face.
05:57My vision went black.
05:58You caused this huge mess,
06:00and now you're trying to hide it from your parents?
06:02Frost pressed the tip of one claw against my nose.
06:04You're not getting away.
06:06I own this part of the city.
06:07Even the cops answer to me.
06:09One word from me,
06:10and your whole family disappears.
06:12I could swallow a pack of pathetic little rabbits like you in one bite,
06:15and you think you can mess with me?
06:16I lowered my head.
06:17My voice came out barely above a whisper.
06:20My dad really can't come.
06:21I'm sorry, Spotty.
06:22I shouldn't have bitten you.
06:24I'll do whatever you want.
06:25for as long as you want.
06:27Please don't call the police.
06:29I don't want to be expelled.
06:31You think you're in a position to negotiate?
06:33Give me your parents' number.
06:34I'll speak to them myself.
06:36Harper,
06:37hand your phone to Mr. Whitley.
06:39I backed away one step at a time,
06:41clutching the phone to my chest until I tripped and hit the floor.
06:45I couldn't let them find my dads,
06:47no matter what.
06:48Looking up at them from the ground,
06:49whivering from head to paw.
06:51Leave my dads alone, Spotty.
06:53It's all my fault.
06:54It's all my fault.
06:55Fine.
06:57You want to apologize with that mouth?
06:59Tomorrow at noon,
07:00meet me on the lawn outside the school.
07:02Get down on all fours and eat the grass.
07:04You stop when I say you can stop.
07:06Otherwise,
07:06I'm calling the police.
07:09Okay.
07:10I clenched my fists.
07:11Humiliation burned through my entire body.
07:13But if it kept my dad safe,
07:15it was worth it.
07:15That night,
07:16I was dead on my feet.
07:17I tucked both ears into my hoodie
07:19and slipped into the tiny apartment
07:21Dad 2 had rented for me.
07:22Three of my dads were going full chaos mode in the kitchen.
07:25Dad 66,
07:26Dad 79,
07:27and Dad 93.
07:29Harper's home!
07:29The second they saw me,
07:31all three lit up.
07:31They pulled me over to the table.
07:33Dad 66 reached out and squished my cheeks
07:35between his raccoon paws.
07:37Harper,
07:38next time the school asks for a parent,
07:40it's my turn, right?
07:41Dad 79 planted both massive bear paws on my shoulders.
07:44Like hell it is.
07:46It's my turn.
07:48Drink this.
07:49It's good for your brain.
07:50You're getting into Apex University.
07:51He was the only herbivore among all my dads.
07:53He'd cooked every meal I'd eaten since I was little.
07:55My throat tightened.
07:57When I win a major award,
07:58I'll invite all of you.
08:00Deal.
08:01Now eat, sweetheart.
08:03They kept piling food onto my plate.
08:06Halfway through dinner,
08:07Dad 66's expression suddenly darked.
08:09He stepped aside to answer a call.
08:11Unfortunately for him,
08:12I had rabbit ears.
08:14I heard everything.
08:14Hitman got flagged again.
08:16Our contact jumped into the river.
08:18Damn it.
08:18Making money is brutal.
08:20My heart twisted.
08:21If they got caught,
08:22they could spend years in prison.
08:24I set down my fork.
08:25Dads,
08:26I need to tell you something.
08:27All three of them froze.
08:30I'm grown up now.
08:31I can get into Apex University,
08:33and then I can take care of all of you.
08:35So could you please find legitimate jobs?
08:38All three grown men burst into tears.
08:40They squeezed me in a crushing hug
08:42and kept promising they would.
08:44After fussing over me for another half hour,
08:46they stuffed three more black cards into my paws
08:49and rushed out.
08:51Don't forget to get new jobs!
08:53My nose burned as I shouted after them.
08:55But the second the door closed,
08:56I heard Dad 66 muller to the others.
08:59Weird.
08:59Our girl doesn't seem impressed
09:01by the zero-exmission submarine I built.
09:03The other two sounded just as confused.
09:05I locked the door and checked my phone.
09:07Our family group chat,
09:09Team Harper,
09:10was exploding.
09:11Was school exhausting today, sweetie?
09:13Do you have enough spending money?
09:14Don't go hungry.
09:15Your dads are loaded.
09:16I sniffed,
09:17tears gathering in my eyes.
09:18I'm fine.
09:20Don't worry about me.
09:21Just stay safe at work.
09:23As message after message
09:24popped onto the screen,
09:25I made up my mind.
09:27I couldn't cause them any more trouble.
09:29Hold it together, Harper.
09:30The next day at noon,
09:32I had barely stepped out of class
09:33when Spotty and her fellivers blocked my path.
09:36Her friends grabbed my arms
09:37and dragged me down the hallway toward the field.
09:40My hind paws scraped two long trails across the floor.
09:43Spotty strode ahead of us,
09:45back straight,
09:45phone held high.
09:46Did you forget our little deal, Harper?
09:48You're on grass-monching duty today, remember?
09:50Were you trying to run?
09:53I'm sorry.
09:54You didn't come get me,
09:55so I-
09:57I have to remind you,
09:58she shoved her recording phone in my face.
10:00Get down.
10:01All four paws on the ground,
10:03then eat this grass.
10:04And while you're chewing,
10:05say I'm Harper Herborn
10:06who was born to be a carnivore snack.
10:07I bit my lip.
10:08My first stood on out
10:08and my whole body locked up.
10:10That only made her more excited.
10:11She unsleeved one claw
10:12and slashed my cheek.
10:13Students who had been lounging on the lawn
10:15rushed over,
10:15phones already raised.
10:17Eat,
10:17you worthless bunny.
10:18and say,
10:19thank you,
10:20spotty,
10:21for putting me in my place.
10:22Otherwise,
10:22I'll have the cops look into those shady dads of yours.
10:25My ears started ringing.
10:26She knew about my dads.
10:27I couldn't risk it.
10:28I dropped onto all fours
10:30and bit into the first mouthful of grass.
10:32The roots were packed with dirt,
10:34scraping painfully against my gums.
10:35Thank you,
10:36spotty,
10:36for putting me in my place.
10:38My mouth tasted like blood.
10:39My stomach lurched,
10:41and I gagged.
10:41If you spit it out,
10:43you start over.
10:43I kept eating
10:47until she finally got tired of laughing.
10:49Then she kicked me in the shoulder
10:51and walked away.
10:52See?
10:53That wasn't so hard.
10:54From now on,
10:54you wait here for me every afternoon.
10:56You'll do whatever I tell you.
10:57Understood?
10:58Yes.
10:59She and her friends swaggered off.
11:00The crowd parted for me
11:01as if I were carrying the plague.
11:03Head down,
11:04I slowly walked off the lawn.
11:06Then I looked up.
11:08Several figures were standing outside the school gates.
11:10I had no idea how long they'd been there.
11:13Papa Khan stood at the front.
11:15Four more of my dads were behind him.
11:17Every face was stone cold.
11:19Every eye was locked on me.
11:23The entire crowd went silent.
11:26After what felt like forever,
11:28Papa Khan crouched in front of me.
11:30His rough paw dabs gently wiped
11:32the drained blood and dirt from my face.
11:34Who did this?
11:35I turned away,
11:37too afraid to look at the murder in his eyes.
11:39No one.
11:39I fell.
11:40You fell?
11:41Dad 5 grabbed my chin
11:42and pointed at the grass and mud
11:44still stuck around my mouth.
11:45You call this falling?
11:46Did the ground throw grass into your mouth?
11:48Dad 3 adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.
11:50Behind the lenses,
11:51Renard's fox eyes were pure ice.
11:53Give me a name, Harper.
11:54I'll have every carnivore in this city
11:56eating grass by dinner.
11:57I kept my lips sealed.
11:58I couldn't tell them.
11:59Frost controlled the entire city's feed industry.
12:02Even the police took his orders.
12:04Meanwhile,
12:05every one of my dads was a wanted criminal.
12:07I couldn't send them to prison.
12:09I shook my head desperately
12:11as tears blurred my vision.
12:13Second after second crawled by.
12:16Finally,
12:16Papa Khan let out a long sigh
12:18and took my hand.
12:19Harper,
12:20remember when you were five?
12:22A little snake from the next block
12:24stole your candy
12:25and you cried all night.
12:26The next morning,
12:28his entire family
12:29vanished from the neighborhood.
12:30Sweetheart,
12:30your dads may not be good animals,
12:33but this family has one rule.
12:35His grip tightened around my paw.
12:37Nobody hurts our little girl
12:38and gets away with it.
12:40That broke me.
12:42Papa!
12:42I threw myself into his arms,
12:44sopping so hard
12:45my entire body shook.
12:47Then I told them
12:47everything that had happened.
12:48It was Spotty.
12:49Her dad is Frost Whitlock,
12:51the biggest feed supplier in the city.
12:53She said the whole city
12:54belonged to her family.
12:55She made me crawl across the field
12:57and eat grass.
12:58She filmed it.
12:58Dad 5's brand new phone
13:00shattered into pieces
13:00inside his fist.
13:01A feed salesman.
13:03He thinks he's somebody?
13:05When I pulled Frost Whitlock
13:07out of a dumpster,
13:08he was licking the dirt
13:09off my boots.
13:10The nerve of that bastard!
13:11He put his filthy paws
13:13on our Harper?
13:13My dad's furious voices
13:15crashed over one another.
13:16I stood there,
13:17stunned.
13:18Papa Khan only patted my back.
13:19Then he pulled out his phone
13:20and dialed a number.
13:21His voice turned colder than ice.
13:24Send the word.
13:24Everyone drops whatever he's doing.
13:26One hour.
13:27Everyone meets outside
13:28Clawheron High.
13:29Someone bullied our daughter.
13:31The next morning,
13:32Papa Khan told me
13:33to go to school like normal.
13:34I nodded
13:35and left the house alone.
13:36Spotty was leaning
13:37against a sports car
13:38outside the school gates,
13:40waiting for me.
13:41The moment she saw me,
13:42she raised her voice
13:43on purpose.
13:44Well,
13:44look who it is.
13:46The little lawnmower
13:47who crawled around
13:48eating grass yesterday.
13:49Before she could finish,
13:51I walked straight past her.
13:52My face stayed
13:53perfectly calm.
13:54I treated her like empty air.
13:56Spotty froze.
13:57Harper!
13:58Humiliated and furious,
14:00she lunged forward
14:00and grabbed my backpack.
14:02Did I say you could leave?
14:03You didn't get enough
14:03grass yesterday?
14:05She raised her claws
14:06to slash me.
14:07I've been way too nice to you.
14:09But I remembered
14:09Papa Khan's words.
14:11For the first time,
14:12I felt completely safe.
14:13The next second,
14:14I caught her wrist in midair.
14:15I stared into her shocked eyes
14:16and spoke one word at a time.
14:17I said,
14:18let go.
14:19You filthy rabbit.
14:20You've lost your mind.
14:22That frost out of the sports car
14:23and shoved me away.
14:24I stumbled backward
14:25and slammed hard
14:25against the school wall.
14:26You grass-eating piece of trash.
14:28Guess yesterday's lesson
14:29didn't stick, huh?
14:30He grabbed my collar,
14:31spraying spit across my face.
14:33I'll eat you alive
14:34in front of the entire school.
14:35Let's see who dares stop me.
14:37Then the sunlight
14:37over the school gates vanished.
14:39Every student looked up.
14:40A mass of dark wings
14:41blotted out the sun.
14:43Countless birds
14:43circled above the school.
14:45At the front was Dad 78,
14:47Kargis the vulture.
14:48He landed on the iron archway
14:49and slowly folded his wings.
14:51Then the ground began to shake.
14:52Even the classroom windows rattled.
14:54A long line of black vehicles
14:56turned the corner,
14:57moving at a crawl.
14:58Behind them marched
14:59an army of enormous predators.
15:01Every footstep
15:02made the street tremble.
15:04Reporters flood in
15:05with cameras on their shoulders.
15:06Flashes exploded
15:07in every direction.
15:09Frost stood frozen.
15:10One paw still twisted
15:12in my collar.
15:13Every car door opened
15:14at the exact same time.
15:15The birds descended
15:16from the sky.
15:17Animals of every species
15:19emerged from all directions.
15:20They came together
15:22like an impenetrable wall,
15:23trapping Frost in the center.
15:25Some were business leaders
15:26in razor-sharp suits.
15:27Some were scarred outlaws
15:29who looked like they'd
15:29fought their way out of hell.
15:30Others wore official uniforms,
15:32badges glimming in the sunlight.
15:33Exactly 108 different animals.
15:35They stood in silence.
15:36Every pair of eyes
15:37was locked on Frost.
15:39Then 108 voices thundered at once,
15:41shaking the entire street.
15:42Touch our daughter
15:43one more time!
15:45Try it!
15:45The school entrance
15:46went dead silent.
15:48The rage drained
15:49from Frost's face,
15:50leaving nothing but terror.
15:51His paw remained frozen
15:53in myth air,
15:53like a dead branch
15:54trapped in ice.
15:55Body collapsed
15:56onto the pavement.
15:57Her tail tucked tight
15:58between her legs.
15:59Every student watching
16:00took three steps back.
16:01Miss Cocker peeked out
16:02from the crowd.
16:03The second she saw
16:04what was happening,
16:05her face turned paper white.
16:07Papa Khan stepped out
16:08from the wall of bodies.
16:09Every time he moved forward,
16:11Frost backed up.
16:12Papa Khan reached out
16:13and gently brushed Frost's paw
16:14off my collar.
16:15The motion was as casual
16:16as flicking away dust.
16:18Frost Whitlock,
16:19the feed salesman.
16:20His voice was soft.
16:21Frost still flinched.
16:22Dad 5 sneered behind him.
16:24The company that mixes sand
16:25into its animal feed?
16:27The same company
16:28that sends that garbage
16:29to schools?
16:29Dad 3 adjusted
16:31his gold-rimmed glasses
16:32and added calmly,
16:33Three warehouse collapses
16:34last year.
16:35Seven herbor loaders
16:36crushed to death.
16:36Each family received
16:37less than the cost
16:38of one year's food.
16:39Frost's face turned white.
16:41How...
16:41How do you know that?
16:42Papa Khan ignored him
16:43and flicked his paw.
16:44The dads behind him
16:45stepped forward as one.
16:46Every student in the crowd
16:48shrunk back.
16:48Papa Khan turned
16:49and gently touched
16:50my swollen cheek.
16:51Does it still hurt?
16:52I shook my head
16:53as hard as I could.
16:54The tears fell anyway.
16:55Papa Khan guided me
16:56behind him.
16:57When he turned back to Frost,
16:58his eyes were frozen solid.
17:00Your daughter made my daughter
17:01crawl on all fees
17:02and eat grass.
17:03Frost was still trying
17:04to act tough.
17:04He stiffened his neck
17:05and yelled,
17:06She bit my daughter
17:07and dragged her
17:07out a third floor window.
17:08She bit your daughter.
17:11Dad 5 suddenly laughed.
17:12He pulled out his phone
17:13and clicked on a video.
17:14It was the original footage
17:16from the bathroom.
17:16Body was yanking my ears,
17:18tearing my uniform,
17:19and dumping ice water
17:20over me.
17:21Everyone heard her say,
17:22I'll eat you
17:23after school tomorrow.
17:24Go ahead and see
17:25if the law can stop.
17:26Every reporter
17:27swung a camera
17:27toward Frost.
17:28He opened his mouth.
17:30Not one word came out.
17:31That was when
17:31Miss Cackle
17:32rushed through the school gates,
17:33still trying to protect
17:34her favorite donor.
17:35Everyone, please!
17:37This student has a long
17:38history of misconduct.
17:40The school was put
17:40in an impossible position.
17:41Miss Cackle.
17:42His voice wasn't loud,
17:43but it shut her up instantly.
17:45Last year,
17:45you accepted $200,000
17:47from the Whitlock family.
17:48You altered Spottie's
17:49final grades
17:50and buried a case
17:51involving an injured student.
17:52Would you like me
17:53to release the bank records
17:54and audio files now?
17:55Miss Cackle's face
17:56went gray.
17:57Her legs buckled.
17:58She had to grab the wall
17:59to keep from collapsing.
18:00Only then did Papa Khan speak.
18:02His voice seemed to pound
18:03inside every chest.
18:04Yesterday,
18:04you said you wanted to see
18:05what kind of creatures
18:06raised my daughter.
18:08Well,
18:08have you seen enough?
18:09No one dared make a sound.
18:11Papa Khan moved
18:12another half step forward
18:13and looked down at Frost.
18:14You just said you'd eat her
18:16in front of the entire school.
18:18Would you like to say that again?
18:19Frost's legs shook so violently
18:21they couldn't hold him.
18:22He dropped to his knees.
18:24First,
18:25before noon today,
18:25you and your daughter
18:26will report to that lawn.
18:27You'll get down on all fees.
18:29You'll eat exactly as much grass
18:30as my daughter ate.
18:31I don't care what species you are.
18:33You stop when she tells you to stop.
18:35For every bite you skip,
18:37I shut down one of your delivery routes.
18:39Frost shovered.
18:40His lips moved,
18:41but he didn't dare argue.
18:43Second,
18:43Mrs. Cackle,
18:44will you resign on your own
18:46or should I make sure
18:47you never stand in a classroom again?
18:49Miss Cackle collapsed onto the pavement,
18:51nodding frantically.
18:52Third,
18:53Papa Khan looked back at me
18:54and his expression softened instantly.
18:56Harper,
18:57from this day forward,
18:58if anyone touches one hair on your body,
19:00your dads will erase
19:01their entire family from this city.
19:03The second he finished speaking,
19:04three black vehicles
19:05stopped outside the gates.
19:06Several uniformed animals stepped out.
19:09They didn't even glance at Frost.
19:10Instead,
19:11they walked directly
19:12towards the dads wearing badges.
19:14Their leader snapped upright
19:16and saluted.
19:17Sir,
19:17all evidence of illegal activity
19:19involving Whitlock feed
19:20has been transferred
19:21according to your orders.
19:22The crowd went so quiet
19:23I could hear the wind.
19:24I looked up.
19:25One of my dads raised his paw
19:26and returned the salute.
19:28The motion was smooth
19:29and practiced,
19:30like he'd done it
19:30thousands of times.
19:32At that moment,
19:33Frost's face
19:33turned whiter than my first.
19:35Cackle's legs
19:36gave out completely.
19:37She crumpled to the ground.
19:38My dads formed
19:39a protective circle around me
19:41and marched
19:41through the silent crowd.
19:42They tucked me
19:43into the first car.
19:44Dad 55
19:45and Dad 32
19:46were already waiting inside.
19:48Yes.
19:49Freeze every account
19:49connected to the Whitlock family.
19:51Don't let him transfer
19:51a single coin.
19:52Dad 32 put on his headset
19:54and spoke with perfect clarity.
19:55Send the lab report
19:56on the sand-contaminated feed
19:58to the largest media vetlets.
19:59Tell them to dig deep.
20:00The Department of Education
20:01has already been notified.
20:03Cackle's teaching license
20:03will be permanently revoked.
20:05She'll never work
20:05in education again.
20:06I listened to call after call.
20:08My paws damp with sweat.
20:09Dads, what exactly
20:10do you do for a living?
20:11The car went silent.
20:13The two of them
20:13exchanged a look.
20:14Neither answered.
20:21I opened the door
20:22and froze.
20:22Our tiny apartment
20:23was packed with animals.
20:24All 108 of my dads were there.
20:26The living room was so crowded
20:27no one could even turn around.
20:29Papa Khan sat me
20:30on the only couch.
20:31Then he stood in front of me
20:32and pointed to Dad 3.
20:34Harper, your third dad
20:35is a special advisor
20:36to the Supreme Court.
20:37He also chairs
20:38the Criminal Code Reform Committee.
20:39My ears shot straight up.
20:41Papa Khan pointed
20:42to the rough-looking gray wolf.
20:43Your fifth dad commands
20:44the Southeast District
20:45Anti-Smuggling Unit.
20:46What?
20:47Then he pointed at the vulture
20:48in a loud floral shirt.
20:49Dad 78 owns
20:50the biggest casino in the city.
20:52It's licensed.
20:53Completely legal.
20:54and Dad 15's
20:55underground fighting pit
20:56became a regulated
20:56combat sports club
20:57three years ago.
20:58He pays more taxes
20:59than anyone in the district.
21:01I sat there
21:01with my mouth open.
21:02No words came out.
21:03Finally, Papa Khan
21:04pointed toward a silent dad
21:05in ordinary jacket
21:06standing in the corner.
21:07Your 108th dad's job
21:09is still classified.
21:10He cooperated with the authorities
21:11to earn a reduced sentence.
21:12Now he works
21:13for the National Security Bureau.
21:14My brain short-circuited.
21:16Dad 46,
21:17whose face was covered in scars,
21:19scratched his head.
21:20Harper,
21:20the truth is,
21:21this family went legit
21:22eight years ago.
21:23Khan was afraid
21:24all the money would spoil you.
21:25Kept saying
21:25hardship builds character.
21:26He forced us
21:27to pretend we were broke.
21:28Dad 99 added from the back
21:29sounding deeply offended.
21:30And all those nights
21:31we came home late,
21:32that was Khan forcing us
21:33to take evening classes
21:34at community college.
21:35If we failed an exam,
21:36he wouldn't let us
21:37come home for dinner.
21:37The blood on our clothes
21:39came from Dad 77's
21:40seafood market opening.
21:41We helped clean fish
21:42and got splattered.
21:45That screaming you heard
21:46on the phone
21:46was Dad 23
21:47getting a tooth pulled.
21:48He's a bull
21:49and they didn't give him
21:50enough anesthesia.
21:51When Papa Khan said
21:52clean it up,
21:53he meant the tooth.
21:53My brain dissolved
21:54into static.
21:55Dad 66 leaned closer
21:57and whispered
21:57that his submarine
21:58had been commissioned
21:58by the military.
21:59The blueprints were locked
22:00in a cabinet downstairs.
22:02Papa Khan sighed
22:03and crouched
22:04so we were eye to eye.
22:05When we found you,
22:06we really were a pack
22:07of predators
22:08living on the edge.
22:09But that one little Dada
22:10melted every one of us.
22:12So we made a decision.
22:13We had to build
22:14our daughter a clean future.
22:15One where you could
22:16hold your head high
22:17and walk in the sunlight.
22:18Dad 78 looked miserable.
22:20It was brutal.
22:20Going legit is way harder
22:21than breaking the law.
22:22In this town,
22:22you have to pay taxes,
22:23follow regulations,
22:24and deal with inspections
22:25every five minutes.
22:26Dad 3 handed me
22:26a thick stack of documents
22:28and placed it on my leg.
22:29This is what we earned for you.
22:30Starting the year you were born,
22:31every dad deposited money
22:32into your account
22:33on every birthday.
22:34My pause trembled
22:34as I opened the first page.
22:36There were so many zeros,
22:37the paperwork nearly slipped
22:38from my hands.
22:39I looked up
22:40and tears flooded my eyes.
22:41I've been breaking my back
22:42trying to get into
22:43Apex University.
22:44I just wanted to work
22:45at the archives
22:45so I could clear your names
22:46so you didn't have to
22:47keep hiding anymore.
22:49Then the doorbell rang.
22:50Dad 93 was closest,
22:52so he opened the door.
22:53Frost and Spotty
22:54were standing outside
22:54with their arms
22:55full of gift boxes.
22:56Both were shaking
22:57like they'd been plucked bored.
22:58Dad 93 let them in
22:59without expression.
23:00More than 100 pairs of eyes
23:01turned towards them at once.
23:03Their legs nearly
23:03gave out on the spot.
23:04Dad 93 brought out
23:05a huge bowl
23:06filled to the brim
23:06with animal feed.
23:07He dropped it
23:08in the middle of the floor
23:09with a heavy thud.
23:10Without hesitating,
23:11Spotty dropped onto all fours.
23:12She lowered her head
23:13and took the first bite.
23:14Frost crawled down
23:15beside her.
23:16The most powerful face
23:17in the city's feed industry
23:18disappeared into a bowl
23:19of his own product.
23:20Grass rustled between their teeth.
23:22By the seventh bite,
23:23Spotty started gagging.
23:24Stop.
23:25I spoke without warning.
23:26Spotty froze
23:27and the room turned towards me.
23:28Every animal owes
23:28and looked up in terror.
23:29Grass clung to the corners
23:31of her mouth.
23:31I walked over,
23:32crouched in front of her,
23:33and met her eyes.
23:34Do you know why
23:35I suddenly snapped
23:35and bit you in that bathroom?
23:37She shook her head fearfully.
23:38Her lips trembled too hard
23:39for her to speak.
23:40Because you said a grass molar
23:41could never get into Apex University.
23:44That was the one line
23:45you couldn't cross.
23:46I studded myself half to death
23:47because I wanted to give
23:49my dads a future.
23:50You crossed that line.
23:52So I fought you
23:53with everything I had.
23:54Spotty,
23:54did you bully me
23:55because I'm a rabbit
23:56or because deep down
23:57you're terrified
23:58you're not good enough?
23:59For one second,
23:59panic flashed in her eyes.
24:01Mr. Whitluck,
24:01you're the biggest reason
24:02your daughter became like this.
24:04You thought money
24:04could erase every consequence.
24:06She learned hurt
24:07anyone she wanted,
24:08never pay the price.
24:09Frost bowed even lower,
24:11nodding like a woodpecker.
24:12Yes, yes,
24:13you're absolutely right,
24:14Harper.
24:14I failed.
24:15I failed as a father.
24:17I'm not lecturing you.
24:18Papa,
24:19if Whitrock feed collapses overnight,
24:21what will the city's herbivores
24:22eat next month?
24:22What happens to all the herbivore workers
24:24loading those trucks?
24:25This city doesn't belong
24:26only to carnivores.
24:28Herbivores are essential citizens too.
24:30A flicker of pride
24:31appeared in Papa Khan's eyes.
24:33He understood.
24:34He turned toward Frost,
24:35who was still crumpled on the floor.
24:37Whitluck,
24:37because my daughter
24:38has more mercy than you deserve,
24:39you have two options.
24:40Option one,
24:41your company is shut down today.
24:43Between tax fraud
24:44and concealing fatal workplace accidents,
24:45you'll spend the rest of your life in prison.
24:47Option two,
24:48you surrender 51% ownership.
24:50My people take over compliance,
24:52and every warehouse gets rebuilt.
24:53Every injured worker
24:54and every victim's family
24:55receives triple compensation.
24:57From now on,
24:58you run a clean business.
24:59Your profits go to charity,
25:00and you never discriminate
25:01against herbivores again.
25:02Choose.
25:03Frost shevered as if someone
25:04had pulled every bone from his body.
25:05He collapsed completely.
25:07After a long silence,
25:08he forced out four words.
25:10I choose option two.
25:11As for you,
25:12first,
25:12tomorrow you'll publicly apologize
25:13to Harper
25:13and every student you've bullied.
25:15Second,
25:15you'll withdraw from Clawington High
25:17and enroll in a behavioral reform program
25:18with mandatory therapy.
25:19Third,
25:20you'll complete 500 hours
25:21of community service.
25:22You will not pay anyone
25:23to do it for you.
25:24Body shook uncontrollably.
25:25If you genuinely change,
25:26you can apply to work
25:27at my foundation in three years.
25:29Her head snapped up.
25:30Disbelief filled her eyes.
25:31After the 78 grinned so hard,
25:33his face wrinkled.
25:34Dad's 70 Whithills
25:35were escorted out.
25:36All 108 dads
25:36immediately crowded around me.
25:38Our girls got a heart
25:38as big as mine was
25:39back in the day.
25:40Dad's 6 scoffed.
25:41She gets it from me.
25:43I listened to them argue
25:44and finally laughed.
25:45It came out
25:46half-choked with tears.
25:48Dads,
25:49does this mean
25:49I don't have to pretend
25:50we're broke anymore?
25:51You know.
25:52Go shopping tomorrow!
25:53Buy the biggest produce market
25:54in the city!
25:55That night,
25:56the group chat
25:57was officially renamed.
25:58Harper approved
25:59legitimate dads.
26:00A non-stop storm
26:01of cash-op transfers
26:02rained down on my screen
26:03until sunrise.
26:04Three days later,
26:06a pitch-black car
26:06pulled up outside
26:07Clawington High.
26:08When I stepped out,
26:09the world fell silent.
26:10All eyes clung to me.
26:12Some held respect.
26:13Some held fear.
26:14Others held an envy
26:15they couldn't quite hide.
26:16The principal,
26:17a round-bellied hippo,
26:18came jogging over.
26:19Harper,
26:19the school failed to protect you.
26:21We sincerely apologize
26:22for what you endured.
26:23Wearing my new backpack,
26:24I gave him a polite nod.
26:26I only want to study in peace.
26:27Then I walked straight
26:28into the building.
26:29Behind me,
26:30the principal bent so how
26:31he looked like a boiled shrimp.
26:33My desk had been replaced
26:34with a grand new one.
26:36Not a speck of dust touched it.
26:37Classmates who used to avoid me
26:39now crowded around,
26:40offering snacks
26:41and asking about homework.
26:45I sat down calmly,
26:47completely locked in,
26:48and dived straight
26:49into a practice test.
26:50At noon,
26:51a figure appeared
26:52in the classroom doorway.
26:53Behind his gold-rimmed glasses,
26:54his expression was more serious
26:55than I had ever seen.
26:56Harper,
26:57you need to come home with me.
26:58The atmosphere inside the car
26:59was suffinating.
27:00Dad 3 kept his eyes on the road.
27:02His voice was low.
27:04Frost gave us information
27:05in exchange for protection.
27:06His feed trucks
27:07once moved a shipment
27:08for a group
27:08from outside the city.
27:09My heart sank.
27:10We investigated.
27:11It's an international crime syndicate
27:13called Scorpion.
27:14When we reached home,
27:16Papa Khan was waiting
27:17on the couch.
27:17Smoke filled the living room.
27:19The other 107 dads were there.
27:21I had never seen them
27:21look so serious.
27:22The shipment was guns.
27:24They probably know
27:25Frost has been compromised.
27:27They'll come for revenge.
27:28My entire body tensed.
27:30Then you guys...
27:31We're not afraid.
27:32He stood,
27:32already dressed in sleek
27:33black tactical gear.
27:34His eyes were sharp as knives.
27:36But you're the priority.
27:37Starting today,
27:38you'll study from home.
27:40We're increasing security.
27:41I shook my head immediately.
27:42Papa,
27:43the exam is only two months away.
27:44I want to keep going to school.
27:46If the entire family
27:47has to hide because of me,
27:48I'd rather...
27:48Don't say something that stupid.
27:50You'll keep going to school.
27:51But your dads
27:52are staying right beside you.
27:54The next morning,
27:55I entered the classroom
27:56with two new transfer students.
27:58Dad 92 and Dad 102,
28:00a Black Panther and a Lynx
28:02both wearing the same
28:03lead uniform as me.
28:04They honestly looked 18.
28:07What I didn't know
28:08was that a high-powered scope
28:09in the building across from us
28:11was aimed directly
28:12at my classroom.
28:14One week later,
28:16I was studying late at night
28:17when an explosion
28:18shook the entire building.
28:19I ran to the window.
28:20The building next door
28:21was engulfed in flames.
28:23That was Dad 15's home.
28:25My door crashed open.
28:26Harper,
28:27get to the basement.
28:28What about Dad 15?
28:29He survived.
28:30Papa Khan's eyes
28:31were terrifyingly cold.
28:33They made their move.
28:33The basement had already
28:35been converted
28:35into a safe room.
28:36On the surveillance screens,
28:38dozens of dark figures
28:39crept through
28:40the surrounding streets.
28:41I stared at one feed,
28:42then suddenly pointed.
28:43Papa,
28:43I know him.
28:44That masked guy
28:45giving orders
28:46is the new gym teacher
28:47at my school.
28:48He's a Komodo dragon.
28:49He has a scorpion tattoo
28:51on his left claw.
28:53It's identical to the one
28:54I saw beneath the sleeve
28:55of Spotty's sidekick.
28:57Dad 3 hammered
28:57at the keyboard.
28:59Seconds later,
28:59an image of the same
29:00scorpion symbol appeared.
29:02Scorpion's insignia.
29:03They infiltrated the city
29:04a month ago.
29:05The fighting started outside.
29:06The door behind me,
29:07the supposedly indestructible one,
29:09was smashed open.
29:10Three masked animals
29:11stormed inside.
29:12Their weapons pointed
29:13straight at me.
29:14Then a panel in the ceiling
29:15silently slide open.
29:17Dad 66 dropped upside down
29:19from the ventilation shaft.
29:21You came for my daughter?
29:22While he fought them,
29:23I dived toward the wall.
29:24Then I slammed my paw
29:25down on the red button.
29:26It was over 30 minutes later.
29:28All 12 intruders were captured,
29:29including the gym teacher.
29:30In the interrogation room,
29:31the Komodo dragon
29:32was covered in blood.
29:33He was still smiling.
29:34We're only the advanced team.
29:36The main force is waiting
29:37at the border for our signal.
29:38You can't protect her.
29:40Papa Khan sneered
29:41and made a call.
29:43was your operation approved?
29:44If the paperwork cleared,
29:46take your unit across the border.
29:48Wipe out their entire base.
29:49Three days later,
29:50a breaking news report
29:51announced that the camp
29:52in the border mountains
29:53had been cleared overnight.
29:55Not one member escaped.
29:56That night,
29:57I couldn't sleep.
29:58I found Papa Khan
29:59smoking in the living room.
30:00Papa,
30:01I want to learn
30:01how to defend myself.
30:02And I want to learn
30:03how to manage
30:03the family businesses.
30:04The paw holding
30:05his cigarette trembled.
30:07Okay.
30:07We will teach you everything.
30:10On the morning
30:10of the big apex exam,
30:12all 108 of my dads
30:13showed up in matching
30:14bright red hoogies
30:15that literally said
30:16Team Harper.
30:17Their line of blacked out rides
30:18stretched for blocks
30:19just to escort me.
30:21I flipped open
30:22the test book wit
30:22and read the prompt.
30:23Discuss a helpless
30:24little rabbit or community
30:25that stretched for blocks
30:26just to escort me.
30:28I picked up my pen
30:29and began to write
30:30rabbit,
30:31abandoned at the border,
30:32and the 108 predators
30:33who became her home.
30:34The day my acceptance
30:35letter arrived,
30:35I also received a letter
30:36from Spotty.
30:37Harper,
30:38I'm not asking you
30:38to forgive me,
30:39but three years from now,
30:40I want to volunteer
30:41at your foundation.
30:42On the back,
30:42I wrote three words.
30:43I want an even here.
30:44I'll be waiting.
30:45The night before
30:45I left for college,
30:46Papa Khan gave me
30:47the vault key.
30:48Dad 5 pinned his badge
30:49to my chest.
30:50Dad 3 gave me
30:51a junior family court
30:51advocate badge.
30:52Holding their gifts,
30:53I looked at 108 tough guys
30:55fighting back tears.
30:56Dads,
30:57in the next lifetime,
30:58I still want to be
30:59your daughter.
31:00108 giant predators
31:01roared back as one.
31:03And in the next lifetime,
31:04we'll find you again.
