The Light in the Trees - Ianthony ~ (BoyXBoy) ~

The Tigers

6:30 A.M.

The Tigers were in a large patch of warm, bright grass that was becoming heated up by the sun. They were next to one another, using each other's body warmth to toss in, while helping the hot rays.

But it had the cool air that sept in through the wind, it was like ghosts from souls that were wallowing in the earths crust. The cool, humid air was dampening the grass in the shade.

The forest held large trees that slumped, stuck up, zig-zagged and ect. They always had blind spots in the leaves, it allowed rays of cool light to shine through. Golden.

Birds lived in the trees, they built nests and stole worms from the dirt beneath the earth and created new life in just a matter of a blink of an eye.

The Tigers didn't have much interest in birds, or any of the animals they could never catch. They stuck to watching the animals that gently roamed the tall, slim grass that covered many fields for miles upon miles. They were powerful swimmers which meant they could get to their prey as fast as possible, which only made them that much more stronger.

No doubt the Tigers were strong, they were brave. They had a roar that made animals bow before them. It was something about the beautiful eyes that shined before them, the teeth that sharpened to a knifes blade. It gave them power, desire and pride.

Each orange and black stripe, covering every inch of their fur. It had the sense of dominance in their looks, personalities and personas.

Anthony was different, he was crowned the leader by his difference in color and actions.

His white fur replaced the dominant orange that tinted the others fur. The white color was pure and ruling, it overshadowed the color orange. He was looked upon as brave since his kind were usually in the cold weather, but he had made it all the way to the hottest part.

Anthony was named The Authoritative One. He was truly an alpha, he was their king.

Anthony stood up from his large Streak, the Tigers moving around uncomfortably. He grunted before clamping his feet against the ground, shaking off fogs of dust and dirt.

Once he got most of the grime away, his stomped into the large patches of grass, a tiger standing from the Streak. "Where are you going?" Haben, the second in command asked.

Anthony stopped and turned his head to look at the tiger that stood by the patch of orange and black. "Do not ask me questions, leave me to myself." Anthony growled, his feet continuing to stop as they stepped into the grass.

Haben stood still, his eyes narrowing towards the white tiger. "I think the Streak would like to know where you'll be off to." Haben growled back, his teeth beginning to show.

Anthony dipped his head before turning around and puffing out his chest, showing his fangs. "Then tell them I am not here, I will be back. Now remember next time," He allowed a hissing growl to slowly seep out of his mouth. "Do not ask me questions." He finished.

Haben let out a soft growl before laying back onto the furry patch. "Fine." He huffed out, his eyes shutting.

Anthony wasn't that bad a soul, he just despised Haben. He was always trying to kick Anthony from the leading role. Anthony always resented the tiger, it only put stress on him.

Anthony moved his body and began walking into the grass again, the prickling pieces of wheat and grass collapsing as his giant paws stepped on each plant. He began running, the stomping of his feet following each gallop.

He loved the feeling of air separating in front of his face right before his eyes. His fur waved in the wind, his brown eyes strictly watching the things in front of him.

His paws quickly stopped as he sniffed the air, the scent that made his mind go crazy. He inhaled around him, following the scent of the special leaves that made him happier than ever.

He paused when he pushed his face into a small bush beside a tree, his body quickly following on top of it.

Purrs were spilling out of him by now as his paws wrapped around the bush, leaves crumpling onto his fur. He purred smoother as he rolled away from the bush, the scent lingering in front of his nose relentlessly.

He loved the smell of these leaves, they made him want to travel to the end of the earth and back.

Anthony felt his arms become skinnier yet very muscular and his body followed.

He was soon human, his body gently resting in the grass. He was fit, very fit. His eyes were a caramel brown and his hair was a light brown with gentle streaks of white in each strand.

He had white ears on his head and a black and white striped tail down his lower back. He had sharp fangs gently resting as his canines, his finger nails sharp and magnificent.

He loved being half human at times, he felt free and apart of nature. He was furless, nothing was stopping the cool wind from resting against his smooth skin. He could fall asleep like this, but he knew what the consequences of that would be.

So after a few minutes of resting in the shorter grass, he changed back to his normal form. His white fur matted and covered in dirt. He only grunted before his body laid back down, his head resting on the ground.

He was curious, very curious of what was around him. He let his mind listen to the noises of birds, animals and bugs echoing around him. It was calming, but it only made him that much more alert than he already had been. You could never be too careful while you live in the heated nature.

So Anthony lay, his body taking in the suns warm rays, his paws crossing on the ground. He soon, let his eyes fall shut and his body shut down to a soft, warm sleep.

So.. first introduction! Yay.. I don't know if I like this yet, it's just a little chapter to see what you guys think. If it's too weird, just tell me.
