So recently we read The Lady, or The Tiger? in English and I had inspiration for the endings. I did the Tiger ending first since I was forced to find evidence that the princess picked the tiger before finding evidence for the lady soooo here it is. Hope you enjoy!
The man, without hesitation, opened the right door. The crowd roared and the princess griped her chair, the urge to snap her eyes shut and wish for the same of her ears overpowering. Then it happened.
All was red.
She let out a horrid scream of terror as her lover was bitten in the back of the neck by the savage beast. The tiger began to lacerate the man, his screams, by far worse than the barbarian princess, echoed off the mountains in unhumanly volume. The princess wanted to look away as she watched the tiger rip off her lover's arms off and devour it immediately. His blood, oh his blood! It was everywhere, on the ground, pooling, on the walls, the doors, the tiger! Her hotbloodedness she inherited cooled. Why had she done this?
Right. That, that… woman he could've married. Her blood boiled at the thought of her and the princess glued her eyes to the scene.
If she couldn't have him, no one could.
Her lover gave one last inhuman scream before the tiger clamped its jaws around his neck and bit down. The princess wanted to scream, to yell to kick to, to, to jump down there and wring the beast's neck. Or just to jump in front and get mauled to death herself. But her grip on her chair stopped her.
The tiger roared and began to dine on her lover's carcass. Chunks of clothes with blood, skin, and bone was everywhere. The crowd by this time had looked away for never had one had ever been killed like this before. But the princess, as much as she wished and plead and begged her eyes to shut or, silently, her father to stop this madness the princess never could. She was glued to the scene and a horrible feeling swept inside her.
She was enjoying this. No!
The princess gasped but instead she began to choke on the air. The tiger, that savage and relentless beast, looked up and made eye contact. Its blood stained muzzle taunted her as if to say, You're next. She felt her eyes water as she felt herself begin to fall. Fall, fall, fall, towards that giant maw that consumed her lover. The princess shrieked as those terrifying jaws closed in on her still falling figure.
.
She woke up sweating, a scream caught in her throat. Her maids rushed to her aid, fussing over her, but the princess was lifeless. Her eyes were dull. Her skin pale. Her hair unbrushed for several days. All because of one nightmare.
All because of one day.
All because of her father.
All because of her.
The semibarbaric princess let loose a scream of pure agony, pain, and misery. Her cheeks became stained with her tears.
Oh how she regretted that one moment of decision.
Tehe! Hope you enjoyed! The Lady ending will come soon. Promise!
