Daku and the carrot

Daku the rabbit used to live in a burrough by the cemetry. Now he had moved, moved to a place with more grass, which was his diet. You see, Daku was to eat only grass and no carrots, this was told to him almost as soon as he was born, and luck didn't bring him any carrots either. Oh, how Daku wished for a carrot, he would give anything for a carrot; but alas, as he was told so many times, a carrot was too colorful, it was sinful. Daku was left to eat the grass all his life, wishing so desperately that he may get a carrot some day. But, he lived with grass. Sometimes, he would go hungry and would not even eat grass. Slowly, he started forgetting about carrots and grass.
But now as he stood he saw his whole life's desire laying smack down in front of him. It was right in front of him; but the carrot was Nefarius's - an evil creature so foul that rabbits would fear the thought of Nefarius more than burrowing through dead bodies. Daku waited, an hour, then two. But he could see Nefarius was close by. On one hand was his life's desire and on the other the possibility of getting eaten up. Sad little Daku went to back to eat some more grass...but he couldn't concenterate- how could he, the thought of the carrot was playing back and forth in his mind. Soon he had given up. But...
On his way back Daku found that the carrot still lay there...unattended. Nefarius was no where to be seen. Daku knew this was his chance. Taking a deep breath and recounting all the happy memories in his life, Daku went for eat. Daku the rabbit was eating a carrot.
Sadly, life for Daku was not as good as you would think you see, for just when he had savored the juice and scrumptuous cold core of the carrot, Daku saw Nefarius from the corner of his eye. Thinking of nothing else, Daku made a run for it.
Now, they say Nefarius is after Daku; Daku is not even sure Nefarius saw him, but now he fears Nefarius like he never did before. Even the thought of a carrot doesn't bring him memories of the amazing taste, but of Nefarius himself. Daku runs, Daku runs some more, Daku even changed his hairstyle so Nefarius may not recognize, but Daku's still not content. Daku lives in fear. You see, wanting a carrot may not have been what Daku really wanted.

Yes.What Daku actually needs is a better name. And what Nefarius needs is a better job.
