Ok. On with another chapter, here goes. I honestly didn't think this story
would work, since I'm just writing as I go, I haven't exactly thought out
the plot, or when Kalita will reveal her past, or even if she will learn to
trust any of Tamora's characters.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters, only Kalita and Rajani.

The Tiger Lady
Chapter 4
George has been showing Kalita around Pirates Swoop for an hour when he noticed she was getting stronger by walking. Pretty soon she could hold her own weight and walk without his help. "Feeling better?" he asked her.
"Yes, I am." She replied with a yawn.
"Do you need to rest?" George asked with concern.
"No." Kalita snapped. She's stubborn, and she can handle herself, she doesn't need help from no man, or woman.
George sighed, knowing just as well he married an equally stubborn woman warrior. "Come along then. You should get back to your rooms; you still need your rest. Whether you like it or not," He said firmly.
Kalita glared up at him, she does not like being bossed around. "Fine," she said harshly.
By her side, Rajani, who has been quiet the whole time throughout the tour, growled at his mistress. He doesn't trust or like this human called George, the man seems like a trouble maker.
Kalita knelt down, her eyes softening as she looks at her tiger, a smile creeps up on her lips, making her look the age she really is. "Rajani," she began in a softer tone, softer than she has used on anyone she met. "It'll be alright. Once in the room, we'll be alone, just like always." Rajani nodded and licked her face.
George just can't seem to get over the bond the girl and the tiger have, it's the strangest thing. But maybe it's a good thing. Maybe she can get tigers to share a bond with her, and maybe she can even get those hunters to stop hunter tigers. No, he thought, that's way too impossible. No one can stop hunters from hunting what they please, no matter how terrible the causes are.
"Come along, little one," he said holding out his hand. Kalita looked up at him, taking his hand, she stood quietly. With a nod to the great beast, George lead the girl and tiger back to their rooms.

Daine wrapped her arms around Numair's neck and smiled. He kissed her neck, not wanting to leave this moment behind. It's just too perfect.
"Numair," Daine started.
"Mm?" Numair barely said a word since he was busy leaving sweet kisses on her soft neck.
"I think I should check on Kalita."
"She can wait."
"Yes, but so can you."
"A little more time?"
"No, Numair, you can walk on your own, you sleep, and your healthy, Kalita she needs us, we have to take care of her till she has the strength to move on."
"Fine, but I'm coming with you," Numair deepened his passion in the kisses on her neck, clearly he's enjoying this. Daine let out a small moan in pleasure, she liked this too. No, she told herself firmly, we have to go to the young girl. She pushed Numair away from her and he gave her a saddened look, trying to kiss her again. Daine shook her head and took his hands. With a smirk she got up off the large rock they were sitting on and pulled Numair back to Pirates Swoop.

As soon as Kalita sat on her bed, after George left, Rajani jumped on the bed next to her and laid his head in her lap. Kalita ran her fingers along his fur coat, enjoying his company. This tiger is all she has left; everything she ever had was lost and gone forever. She didn't even have Rajani when she was little; she got him later on in her life. She'll never forget that day.
A knock interrupted her thoughts, and a female voice spook softly, "Kalita, may I come in."
Kalita rolls her eyes, she hates having visitors. Why can't she just leave her alone? "Fine, come in."
The door opened slowly to reveal Daine and Numair. "Hello again, how are you feeling?" Daine asked.
"Perfect," was the tired reply.
"Well, then if your perfect, is there anything you would like?" Numair asked.
"No, thank you."
"Very well."
Daine stepped forward, holding a wrapped gift. "Here, this is for you."
"What is it?" Kalita asked.
"Open it and you'll find out."
Kalita nodded and opened the present slowly, only to reveal a book about tigers. She looked up at Daine. "What's this for?"
"I thought you might like to read something and what better to read then the creature you're close to?" Daine said with a smile.
"Thank you." Kalita grinned, her eyes watering. Never before has she had someone give her anything. And Daine barely knows her. It's very nice.
"Not a problem. Well, we'd better let you sleep more, you need your strength. Come Numair." Daine pulled Numair out of the room.
Once out of the room and the door closed, Numair looked at his wife. "That was a nice thing you did, I think you made her happier than she seems."
"It was nothing; I felt she needed something that would cheer her up. Besides, somehow I feel connected to her, in a way." Daine said.
Numair nodded and walked with her to their rooms, so they can get their rest.
