The Tiger's Body

Chapter 6

Squeals, filled the morning air, as my ears twitched at the combination of noise from the birds up a head. While the sun tried to find a spot to beat the trees to, shinning on any gap on the ground through the leaves.

I opened my eyes, seeing the morning. The leaves were colorful as the sun lit through them lightly. A few bugs buzzed by.

I crawled up, looking down at my four white feet.. At first I was a bit freaked out, then I finally realised that everything I had been through was real.

I was hoping that it would be a dream. Unfortanatly. wishes don't always come true.

I started walking at a calming pace, enjoying the morning air. It was cool, but still hot. It was just perfect. My feet dug into the muddy ground with every step I took, my claws digging in the most. I was a bit thristy, when I came across a big puddle, I didn't hesitate to drink it.

My tongue lapped at it lightly. Making a funny sound.

Looking back up I started back on my way, running. I didn't want to be caught by Chad again. I had enough endurance with him. He had a very strange name for a wizard, he looked rather young for one to, usually you think of a long white beard and old man, liek Merlin or Dumbeldoor.

Running for a few hours didn't take a breath from me, but my stomach once again made me stop, to find some thing to eat.

What poor animal will be my next meal. Hopefully nothing cute. Its hard to control once the hunger fulfills my head once I find what ever I'm looking for.

Sniffing the air, I followed a different scent, leading towards a tree with a bunch of mangos, on it. Hopefully I can eat these. I don't want to be stuck eating meat my entire life.

I don't think I have a chance of having a human body ever again.

Out of all having a tiger body was comforting, it was different, but very comfortable. There was the funny feel of my tail, and claws. My tail would bug me a bit while I ran. After a bit I did get used to it.

It kept swishing at my back, or I would step on it, it was strange knowing I had a tail. And well, ears, whiskers, sharp teeth, and big claws, along with the bright colours.

I lowered my head to the most unbruised or rotten mango, clutching it in my jaws, it fit entirelly in my mouth, with lots of room, I closed my jaws on it, feeling the juices fill my mouth, I missed tastes like this already.

Only when I tried eating it, it was almost impossible, to chew it, it was harder since my mouth was not made for fruit, but for meat.

After I made myself eat a few more I set off for my walk once again, always on the watch for alligators, and what ever else may be here.

After about another hour of walking I came across a small circle clearing, tree's circling it. It was a nice spot, there was gorgouse plants and flowers, in long grass, there was also a good size puddle of water that was pretty deep, it went past my ankles as I stepped into it as I drank.

That's when the scent hit my nose, it wasn't like any animals I had ever smelt, even though I had never smelt or seen half of these animals here, this wasn't a animal, it was to different.

A giant snap came from my right, as I jumped turning towards the sound, there was a heart beat that was hammering, and the smell of sweat. That's when it came to me, I knew this creature.

HUMANS!

Before I could turn to run, a heavy net fell on me, locking me to the ground. I roared with fury, as I looked at the several men holding guns as they came out, pointing their barrels at me.

I didn't dare move, as I stared into the eye of the hole. The man that I had heard earlier was a very skinny man, who had sun burnt skin, his heart was racing with adrenaline and excitement.

"Whoa, that's the biggest tiger, I've ever seen." Said a man with a scruffy beard. Coming closer. A growl ripped through me, as he took another step, making them click their guns in warning.

The net wasn't that heavy, but it was a strong one. Maybe I can out run them if I rip through this. Of course I can outrun them. Why wouldn't I be able? Wow, I was panicking.

I watched as they admired me, too lost in their catch to notice the clouds were turning a nasty black. It was going to be a storm. A small plan came to my mind, as I thought of the thunder.

As soon as it crashes, the men will be caught clueless and that's when I can run. I waited for it to come, counting every second, for it to start pouring, with a clap of thunder and lightning.

Wait for it, wait for it.

BANG. A flash of lightning followed it.

That's when I jumped up, surprising the seven men, as I ripped the net as quickly as I could. Taking off, only to trip, on the net that tangled up my feet, but it didn't stop me from trying to run and jump funny from getting away from these horrible men.

I was almost out of the clearing. When I heard the first gun shot rang, followed by the on coming poor of rain. The bullet nearly missed me, by a meter stick. There was shouting, I only caught glimpses of.

"Don't...kill it...tiger will be...a keeper...if...alive."

I continued running or whatever I was doing trying to get in the safety of the tree's safety. Just as I made it out of the net around my footing, I felt the small needle like pain in my hind leg. It wasn't a bullet, I turned my head to see a needle like item sticking from it, making my leg feel numb.

I twisted my body, in order to pull it out, as soon as I let it go, the men were running towards me as I ran full blast, passing various of things. Only for them to turn to a blur, as I felt myself tiring. My one leg was now starting to slow me down as it went completely numb, making me limp a bit, and come to a walk.

My vision wavered in and out as I tried walking more.

Then finally everything went blank, and turned to darkness as I slowly laid down onto the ground. Letting my eyes close.
