TIGER'S RIVAL
PART 2

Tessa looked at the group before her. Besides the wolf-creature that she remembered had been called Tiger, there was also a walking yellow eyeball, a small duck like creature, a hugemongus monster that could only be described as a rock, another that looked like a bunny rabbit with boxing gloves, and lastly a boy who looked alittle younger than her who was standing next to the girl who had shouted at Tiger when he had jumped on her. All in all they made one wierd looking group.
Tessa could feel herself start to feel excitment when she spotted the roller blades on the boys back. Did that mean he was from where she was from or do they have roller blades here too? She wondered about this as she quickly went up to the boy.
"Hey, I'm Tessa what's your name?" The boy gave her a huge smile and practically shouted his response.
"I'm Genki!" Tessa looked somewhat surprised at the name he didn't look japanese more like an american. Oh well you never know maybe he was part american. Then agian maybe he was what everyone looked like here wherever here was. Right then Tiger came up to her once more sniffing at her. She Backed up because he was so huge and she was to her credit alittle frightened, to cover her fear she fought back with anger. "Are you done or what, I don't exactly like having a wet nose pressed up aganist my leg, especially from you okay doggy?" She asked knowing calling him a doggy would get him angry but not caring. She could sense the pride in the blue wolf and it made her want to strike back for he had injured her own pride by surprising her when he pounced on her.
"AHHH DON"T CALL ME THAT!!" He roared as he glared at her from ice blue eyes. Smiling Tessa just laughed at the monster in front of her not even showing a hint of fear of his horrific, snarling face and huge sharp teeth and claws. "This girl is brave," Tiger thought "She stands up to me tall and full of pride without even a hint of fear in her eyes even though I must look terrifying to her," Not moving from his postion Tiger looked at the girl in front of him. She was a petite, small creature only standing at about five foot three, Genki was almost as tall as her he thought. And she couldn't weigh anymore than a feather, yes she was a small girl indeed. Looking at her face he saw the golden-red hair that fell in shining waves to her shoulders, her small mouth with its light pink lips, and arched brows over two beautiful green eyes. She was a beauty, this strange girl that had come to them from where he couldn't say, and as he looked at her standing their defiant her beauty shinning thourgh to all Tiger could feel his chest go tight and a lump form in his thoart. He had a sudden protective instinct twoard the mere slip of a girl in front of him, he felt as though he should keep her safe, sheild her from harm and from the dark forces he could were coming. Tiger tried to clear his head, why should he care for this girl? If dark forces did come it would be her fault for attracting attention to their group with her apperance, strange clothing and way of acting. They could take her away and give her to Moo as a gift for all he cared. The thought of her in Moo's hands though seemed to cause an anger to rise in him and he knew that he could never give this girl to Moo no matter how mad she made him. Damm!, what was going on with him? Why was this girl affecting him this way? She was surely bewitching him, he couldn't possibly be feeling anything for her, she was a human, and the only humans he trusted was Genki and Holly. He knew from expericence how evil man could be and only found some goodness in his friends Genki and Holly. But they were the exception not the rule, she had to hate all monsters, how could she not she was human.
Tessa was breathing heavily with fear, anger , and some other emtion she was too afriad to name as she looked into Tiger of the winds eyes
