She prowled around me as the flames jumped from tree to bush to branch, an evil glint in her eyes showed that she knew she would be winning this game we had started.
She began stalking toward me, claws digging tiny graves, mimicking the one my body would have lain in if I'd had the chance to escape the inevitable attack from this lovely monstrosity.
My life of 19 years, which had seemed so Long in my eyes, now appeared to only have lasted a few moments. I hadn't realized until now, how much I'd be missing out on once she tore my body apart, most likely leaving me alive to suffer the last moments of my life.
She's come closer. If I wanted to, which i didnt, I could reach out and run my fingers through her glistening fur. She was sitting, liking her fur, taunting me with the inevitability of my expiration.
I lie down, offering myself to her completely willing her to do as I knew she wanted. I shivered as a wide, moist tongue slid along my spine, the wet nose drawing a line of chilliness beside the wet trail behind the tongue. She lowered her head and nudged me.
I looked into her eyes, sensing the trust and admiration in them, stood and set my hand upon the tigresses noble head and stroked down. A purr escaped, and she lay down to allow me to climb atop her back.
Fire roared around us as we flew through the trees. A thrill dashed through my veins as the thought of a second chance at life engulfed my being. This beautiful beast will come home with me and I shall tame her. She and I are connected now. It will simply come to be anyway. Might as well provoke it.
We reached the safety of a river bank, the hype of escaping the doom of death slowly ebbed away, and a new thrill replaced the retreating one. I was on a tigress.
My mind must be scrabbled, I thought as I reached down to her belly and patted her. She was good, vicious but good. I felt an odd feeling enter my heart, and realized I'd do anything to protect my predictor.
Don't leave me, you dangerous animal you. Simply come home with me.
