Chapter One:
A Tiger's Capture
She sat there staring into the darkness, she had been captured when she had tried to steal from a fox. He had a potion that could heal her brother. A fellow thief had told her that the potion was in his bedroom, so she had sneaked into the house with out problem but was caught once she had found the potion. The demon that that found her was not a fox, but was a red headed human. She had tried to get away with the potion, but he made vines wrap her up and pull her to the ground. The humans face never showed anger, only loneliness.
She cringed as she tried to sit up and lean up against the wall. The vines that had her tied were tight with long thorns, she was loosing blood quickly. Her vision began to blur, she tried to keep her eyes open but it was like someone was making them close. Footsteps approached, and the vines loosened their unforgiving grip. She cried out in pain when the thorns were pulled out from her wounds.
"Who are you?" The voice was calm and soothing.
"A…thief," she didn't want to talk she just wanted to see her brother again.
"What's your name," a finger wiped away a tear that had slipped down her cheek.
"Sya…what do you want from me?" Her eyes were shut tight as she spoke. Sya heard the man move away and close a door, making the room darker.
"Open your eyes and look at me," he gave her a stern look when her eyes opened. 'Is she afraid of me?'
"Why won't you just punish me?" She gritted her teeth together as the man helped her sit up.
"I want to know why you were going to take the potion, it cures the dark sleep…"
"My brother, he was cursed with it…I don't want him to die too." Sya lowered her head, was beginning to spin.
"Who is your brother," his eyes softened when she looked down. 'Doesn't she have a healing factor?'
"Kenai…"
"Can you heal yourself?" He looked beside Sya and noted the pool of blood. 'no…'
"…Only higher class tigers…" She shook he head trying to clear her vision, but it only made things worse. "Do you believe me?" 'no, he wont…I'm a thief.'
"Partly, I'll be back soon." He stood and left the room, leaving the bleeding tiger alone as she slowly slipped into unconsciousness.
