The Tigress

Chapter 18:"My First Prey"

And I was completely horrified by what I saw...

-continued-
Those eyes....those eyes were just filled with fear a while ago...but now...now they were empty.

They were dead....

What's wrong with them? Why aren't they moving? Why were their eyes dull?

How stupid of me...

What happened to their arm?

but at that age...

What? What is this taste?

I learned what death was...

Is this blood?! Is this her blood?!

I learned how to kill....

No!No!No!No!

and the true face of my so called parents...

"Good job daughter...you just had your first kill."

Mother?

"We'll make a true carnivore out of you!"

Father?

"We're so proud of you."

Why?

At the time, I didn't know who that woman was but soon I learned. I learned she was one of the maids....why did we have a herbivore maid? I don't know...maybe it's just some scheme my parents used to have a stable food supply on the side...why did the herbivores come in for the job? Well...the pay was pretty good that it was hard to resist...the only downfall?

You could die at any moment...that woman must have known that...but why did she pull a stupid stunt? Why did she betray my parents?

She probably would have lived longer...no...in the end. She could have die either way...but becoming an enemy of mother and father...that would be the stupidest of mistakes. I guess she was stupid. She should have known, mother and father's enemies are usually made an example of...

-Flashback end-
How is he still alive? Who's protecting him? No. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Maybe he doesn't really know? Right? He's just a herbivore.

"Is that so?" I ask as I straighten up my posture. Relax your features and posture. Head held high. Ears poised and alert. Stare him in the eye...never back down. To which he stared some more.

"Yes. Your family has quite an interesting...history." He finishes off.

"And how does that include me? I don't think I would ever follow in whatever footsteps they have." I mean it's true. I wouldn't want to follow them and join the family tradition.

"What your doing here isn't working."

Huh?

"I can see right through you carnivores masks."

What is he talking about?

"Those sharp claws."

What?

"Those sharp fangs...."

Okay. This is getting weird.

"What are-uck!" What is he doing!?

"All used to overpower your prey." He says as he keeps hands on my jaw and under my fangs.

What is he doing?! Why is he touching my fangs?! There rules and laws about predators flashing their fangs! I could be expelled! Or worse! Imprisoned!

"You must be thinking about eating me...getting a bite...you despicable carnivore! If I-!"

And with that...I pushed him away and turned away from him...I can't breathe...I...I wanted to eat him...I wanted to see the fear in his eyes!

No! I shouldn't give in...stop it!

He tried to overthrow you. He tried to over power you!
Stop it..

He wanted was talking about you like some brainless beast...we should just give him what he wanted and devoured him right then and there...maybe he would  thank us.

I could practically hear her sneering those words out...

Come on...do it.

Shut up!

....

You need to shut up....I'm not willing to throw away whatever future I have just to prove him right...I'm better than some brainless beast...I'm evolved and better.

And with that, my instincts were backed into a corner. Just to make sure...take a deep breathe. In....and...out. Whew. That's better. Now to deal with my current situation.

"I would remind you to keep your hands to yourself." I stated as I turned back to him.

"And why is that?" He asks with an eyebrow raised.

"I would rather not report to the headmaster of your harassment." I replied back.

"Are you threatening me?" He asked as he his eyes widened a little..it seems like I managed to surprise him...do most people not fight back?

Wait...he's a herbivore. Of course. Can't believe I forgot about that. In this world, not many carnivores can go against a herbivore without looking threatening. But there is a way to overcome a herbivore by using your words...in other words..

'Blackmail them.'

"No, simply...warning you. Imagine...what would happen to your reputation if you were filed for harassment?" I asked. Sure, people might not believe the words of a carnivore but...they can't help but wonder..and rumors are born from that curiosity. There might also be others who also experienced this same harassment and give some evidence. Who knows what could happen? Who knows whose willing to frame him? Hmm, I wonder who?

"...." It looks like he understood my undertone of those words.

"...." This staring match will end in my term...why would he risk going against me?

"I see." And with that, he stopped bothering me...for today.

By the looks of his actions, he seems like the type who would be in controlled of the situation..if he can help it. He also seems like the prideful type..most likely a sore loser who would not want to lose against another person. He also seems like he has a hatred against carnivores...he may keep trying to go against me until he finally gets a win.

Looks like this is not the last I see of him...what tiresome male.
