A/n: Sooo… This is kinda an impulsive fic.
To elaborate, I really shouldn't be doing this because I have like…Four other progects going on, but hey! This should go by quickly, seeing as how it's not my own plot.
Nope nope.
It's actually a book I read yesterday, and it was such an awesome story that I had to rewrite it.
Enjoy?
Disclaimer: I do not own the plot-line, nor the characters. The plot belongs to Amelia Atwater-Rhodes while the characters are Kishimoto's. (I refuse to post these disclaimers in every chapter, so this is the only one you'll see.)
"Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp?
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who make the Lamb, make thee?
Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"
The Tiger by William Blake
Prologue: Now
A cage of steel.
It is a cruel thing to do, to cage such a beautiful, passionate animal, as if it was only a dumb beast, but humans do so all too often. They even cage themselves, though their bars are made of society, not of steel.
The Bengal tiger is gold with black stripes through its fur, and it is the largest or the felines. The sign reads "Panthera tigris tigris"; it is simply a fancy name for tiger. I call this one Tora-she is my favorite animal in this zoo.
Tora walks towards me as I approach her cage. The minds of animals are different from the minds of humans, but I have spent much time with Tora, and we know each other very well. Though the thoughts of animals can rarely be translated into human thought, I understand her, and she understands me.
Such a beautiful creature should not be caged.
A/n: So…What do you think?
This isn't it for today, I'll upload again later, most likely, so stick around.
Reviews make me smile. =)
