Chapter 7 : Dreams Really Do Come True

I paced the room late into the night, trying to get comfortable enough to sleep. But no luck. I could leave. I mean they did kidnap me. And what are they gonna do? Put up signs?

"Lost Tiger. Responds to the name 'Jessie'. Enjoys antique cars and hunting monsters."

Yeah that'll go well. And even though Dean had said they would send the angel after me if I ran, I didn't think it would be a problem. Why would Castiel send Sam and Dean to find me if he could find me himself? My guess was he couldn't.

Of course there was the problem of the door. Then again there was always the window... There was one in the back of the room facing the forest. I could probably lift it open with my nose... I padded to the window and nudged it up. It creaked quietly and I flinched, checking to make sure it hadn't awakened the brothers before squeezing through the small space.

I landed softly on the grass and took off running. More stable now than getting out of the Impala. Weaving through the trees, I saw lights. Getting closer I realized the lights were moving. And moving fast. Before I could even think to stop, I was on the highway. Lights shined on me and a huge truck honked. I jumped out of the way, almost flying into a car. But it swerved and hit the truck. With a huge crash, the car flipped and the truck fell over.

Without thinking, I ran to the car. There was a young woman in the driver side. Her head was bleeding but she was awake, and she kept mumbling something I couldn't make out. She managed to open her door but collapsed before she could get out.

I grabbed her shirt collar and pulled her away from the now flaming car. The other driver was out of the truck and was on his phone. Other cars had stopped all around us and people were staring right at me. The Tiger on the Highway.

Just before I could escape into the woods, I heard crying. No. No no no no. I will NOT be responsible for the death of an infant.

Running back to the car, past staring eyes and the screaming mother, I climbed in the driver side door to the back seat. I cut the seat belt with my claws, careful not to hurt the now terrified infant. I picked him up by the shirt and dashed out of the car.

I reached the mother just as the car exploded. She grabbed for the child and backed up quickly, staring into my eyes. I bolted away, just when the police showed up. They'd shoot me for sure. I ran off through the woods for a good ten minutes before I suddenly recognized where I was.

It was the beach.

I stick broke behind me and I whipped around, coming face to face with the big white wolf. It was injured unlike the last time I saw it, in my dream. But I didn't have time to think about that, because it lunged at me, snapping its powerful jaws.

I jumped back and it circled me, trying to get a good angle. I turned with it and dodged out of the way when it lunged again. This time I swiped at it with sharp claws, and left four deep scratches down the left side of its face.

It howled in pain and fell. I let out a growl and moved towards the snow white mound. The wolf jumped up, running off into the woods. I began to follow but there was a sharp pain in my side and I heard a shout. I had been shot with a tranquilizer. "It's over here!"

I bent around and pulled the dart out with my teeth and dropped it. It wasn't taking effect. I must be a special tiger. I growled at the thin man standing in front of me. He was shaking in his Animal Control uniform, and there were more voices coming from behind him.

I have to get out of here.

I whirled and ran back the way I had come, and before I knew it, I was crossing the highway again just down the road from the crash. I could hear the sirens wailing. I ran faster. To the only place I could feel safe, even if I didn't understand why. I climbed back in the window and jumped up on the little couch, listening to the relaxed breathing of the two hunters.

If I went out on my own, I would do more harm than good. So I would stay. I would stay and help the Winchesters any way I could. At least until I was human again. If I was ever human again. At this point, it was starting to seem hopeless.

Right.

So I was reading this over and I realized how quickly it escalated. Sorry for that, unless you liked it in which case I'm freaking awesome.
