Along Came a Tiger
love you and want to go with you to the end of the world. I’ve never loved any man like this and I’m ready to abandon my life and start afresh with you.”
     
    “I promise to leave with you but before that, I have to kill a tiger. Then we can leave.”
     
    “What do you mean kill a tiger? This relationship is more important than a tiger.”
     
    “You’re right. But let’s wait for a couple of days, if I don’t see any tigers I swear we’ll leave as soon as possible.” He kissed her. She was happy to hear that and knew the only solution to that was to talk to the hunting pack to stop looking for the killer and they resume their lives as long as they leave the forest.
     
    “You truly want me to go back?” he turned to face her.
     
    “I definitely want you to stay but maybe you are risking you life doing this.” She said defensively. She felt uneasy knowing that he was in danger. She had to stop the hunting pack, but she didn’t know how after rejecting Kazim, the pack leader.
     
    “I have to go.” She said as she dressed.
     
    “Why, I still need to talk to you.”
     
    “Later,” she said as she disappeared in the forest.

    Samira paced up and down as she waited for Kazim. She couldn’t handle rejection from her friend. She wanted to end this, kill Flynn once and for all. A few members of the hunting pack had arrived in the cabin. They were the most senior in the clan. The pack had no alpha female, Sanura was not there. Everyone wondered where she went.
     
    Samira waited patiently until all the pack members settled, arranging themselves to wait for their leader. Kazim arrived and the pack rose to welcome him.
     
    “Thank you all for coming.” He sat down on his chair. “The reason for this meeting is because Samira said she knew something about the hunter.” There were whispers from across the room. Everyone turned to look at the door when Sanura arrived. She struggled her way to the front. They could smell betrayal. She walked slowly to her seat.
     
    “Welcome to the meeting, we were discussing about the hunter.” Said Kazim.
     
    “What about him?” she asked innocently.
     
    Kazim looked at Samira. She looked at Sanura with guilt but it was too late. She loved her too much and didn’t want to betray her. Sanura was filled with rage. She tried to signal her not to say a word.
     
    “I know where the hunter hides,” she said as she stared Sanura in the eyes.” The pack gave her an appreciative whistle.
    “You have to stop this nonsense.” Sanura stood up. Everyone stared at her with shock; they didn’t understand why she would oppose their mission. She was the one who wanted this hunter dead in the beginning, now she wants him to live. The pack wondered.
     
    “Why would we stop?” asked Kazim.
     
    “He’s done nothing wrong; he’s not killed a single tiger since he came.”
     
    “That’s because we hide ourselves, we’re not free in our own home. He has to die and we expect Samira to take us where he is.” Kazim said firmly. She looked at Kazim and knew, it was pointless talking to him. She was outnumbered by the hunting pack and there was nothing she can do about it. She stormed out of the room. She had to warn Flynn. She ran to the filled as she transformed into a tiger.
     
    The air was full of growling as she raced into the forest. It was clear to her that the hunting pack knew she betrayed them. Too bad for them, she thought to herself, she had no time for them, only for Flynn. She was not about to slow down. She sped in the forest. Flynn was startled with the footsteps and he pointed his rifle ready for whatever was coming. The hunting pack realized she was not stopping. If she couldn’t get to Flynn on time, then she’s as good as dead. She used her forward momentum to speed up. The entire pack was behind her.
    “Flynn aimed his rifle and shot the tiger. She fell on the ground with a thump and released her transformation. She changed into her
