Story Of The Tigre

Chapter 3

The man starts to grin as he turns towards mick " it's time to get you ready for the sell, i should get a pretty good price out of ya" the man says as he pulls mick out of the cage and puts shackles on micks hands and feet with a heavy metal chain. a short time latter a girl walks up to them with a small grin on her face " hello my names crystal, im here for the tigre boy like u asked sir ". " ah its about time you got here! " the man says with a harsh tone to his voice " have him ready by noon like i asked if u wish to get paid even one single peace of silver from me " the man says as heads off towards the auction.

Crystal looks at mick surveying his pattered and blood stained fur " well lets go get you cleaned up * she says with a slight smile. " ok.. " mick says as he try's to get use to the heavy metal chains. crystal eyes suddenly grow wide in shock " you...you can talk? " she asks with a surprised tone in her voice. " yes mam..i can speak English " mick says as he dares to look up at her to see her golden blond hair shining in the mid day light. " oh wow!! oh wow!! iv got to tell Nora about this!! " crystal says as she sits out in a mad dash towards a small tavern dragging mick behind her.

meanwhile Nora seats at a old wooden desk in the front of the tavern. shes a tigre with orange colored fur and bright green eyes with long blond hair, she seats up right in a oak wood chair with a old leather bound book in her hands reading with a great smile on her face. when suddenly crystal bursts through the door dragging mick behind her. " HE TALKS!! HE TALKS!! " crystal yells out at the top of her lungs grabbing everyone's attention. Nora quickly moves over to her " wow calm down crystal, whats got you all wild up?? " Nora says as she attempt's to calm crystal down. " he...he talks Nora! just like you!".

Nora looks at mick with a curious look on her face as she thinks to herself * that cant be...its to rare for my kind to be able to speak English..but could it be possible * " dose he really speaks English crystal? " Nora asks crystal in a low voice still studying micks. " yea he talks as clear as you do Nora" crystal says as she wiggles with happynes . Nora knees down in front of mick and moves the hair away of his eyes " can you speak English Hun? " Nora asks with a soft loving, careing voice. mick nods slightly " I...i can sp...speak English" mick says with a small shiver in his voice. Nora grins slightly at him " come on lets get you cleaned up " she smiles as she leads him to the back of the tavern to a room with smooth stone floors and a large bath in the middle " well be out soon " she tells crystal as she closes the door behind them and locks it.

" do you have a name? " she asks as she takes the shackles off of his arms and legs. " yes mam...my names mick " he says as he watches Nora seat the shackles down on the cold floor. " what are you going to do with me? " he asks curiously. " im going to clean you up " she says as she begins to blush, she washes all of the blood off of his snow white fur gently.

Mick: " Nora? "

Nora: " yes mick?"

mick: " why are you blushing?"

mick asks nicely with a hint of curiosity in his in his voice. " well iv never been around a male tigre before " nora says with a dark blush on her face as she moves to his back and stitches the gashes on his back " mick what hapend? howed you get all of these gashes on your back?? ". mick turns to face her and he spends 10 minutes telling her about the gashes and what all the man had done to him all the way up till they reached Eden Nora looks at him with big careing eyes " that's awful mick " Nora says as she wraps her arms around him in a tight hug as she feels sorry for what has hapend to him. " Nora!? hey Nora! " crystals voice yells from the other side of the bathroom's thick wooden door.

Nora: " what is it crystal? "

crystal: " its almost noon Nora the man will be here to get him soon "

Nora: " well be right out "

Nora blushes and giggles as she helps gives mick a black pair of pants and a sleeveless black shirt to put on. a few minutes latter they leave the room and head into the main part of the tavern.

Nora: " um..mick can i ask u something? "

Mick: " sure Nora, what is it? "

Nora: " wheres your father? "
