The evil white tiger (Bái hǔ shā) was my worst nightmare during my childhood years but eventually things changed when something happened to me. In my dream originally, beauty and the beast were just known as beauty and beast with no names.

Summary: Upon examined my reflection from the water, I could saw that I was no longer me. I was no longer small but larger in size, with white and black stripes furs, a tail and no mistaken, the face of my worst nightmare, the evil white tiger (Bái hǔ shā).

Chapter 4: The evil white tiger (Bái hǔ shā)

The next day after I woke up, I felt miserable and nauseous from the many weeks of been fatigued. This was completely different from the dream which I felt relaxed. Reality ruled over, and knowingly, nobody will believed that I'm sick, with no other choices, I had to push myself out from bed and prepared for the daily chores before heading for school. After changing into my school uniform, the nauseous feeling I'm having was getting worse but I pushed myself stubbornly to reach for the door entrance.

While passing by few units of apartments along the common corridor towards the staircase which lead to downstair (the staircase was located at the very far end from the common corridor ), some of the elderly ladies were busy gossiping.

"This one is evil, definitely! See that brat? That thing is the sign of the evil white tiger (Bái hǔ shā)!" One of the elder lady who was not in good terms with my parents, taunted out loud and made eyes gesture pointing towards me.

My heart wrenched at her words but I kept my paces towards the staircase pretending not to hear. I could heard the rest of the elder ladies mocking in agreement. While still walking, with a quick intake of breath, I breathed and exhaled slowly to control my temper and frustration.

Meanwhile from a distance, I saw a girl coming out of her apartment. We used to be good friend and I remembered the times we spent together, all the funs and laughters were now memories. At the moment when she caught sight of me, she gasped and stormed off towards the direction of the staircase as if to avoid a plague.

My eyes started to tear up with flashback. "My mother said you are born with a evil white tiger demon! You caused bad things to happen! You can't play with me anymore."

Whenever I was around or nearby, my family and strangers likewise, seem to be very frighten. They were very afraid of the calamity that will fell upon them.

Being stubborn as always, I managed to stop tears from running down my face. With one long intake of breath, I continued to walk while breathing and exhaling slowly. The nauseous feeling was getting worse as I dragged myself to school feeling more fatigued.

"Students, open your book to page ten and recite the tongue-twister in unison, slowly."

She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore.
The shells she sells are sea-shells, I'm sure.
For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore
Then I'm sure she sells sea-shore shells.

"Students, now recite the tongue-twister faster this time. "

She sells she sells sells sea-shells sea-shells on the sea-shells on the on the sea-shore sea-shore sea-shore the shells the shells she sells she sells are are sea-shells sea-shells I'm sure I'm sure for if she for if she sells sea-shells sells sea-shells sells sea-shells on the sea- on shore the sea- on shore the sea- then shore then then I'm sure I'm sure she she she sells sells sells sea-shore sea- shells shore sea- shells shore shells.

It was hilarious after reciting the tongue-twister faster. Everyone laughed out loud once we had finished. Some students actually giggled while still reciting and they were given punishment to recite the tongue-twister in solo.

While the punishment was still in process, my eyelids started to get heavy, eventually darkness overtook. The next thing I realized after opening my eyes was, once again, I had returned to the same garden. However, something was not quite right this time.

I looked down on myself but instead of seeing hands and feet, I found paws of white and black stripes? Stunned, I tried to call for Rose or Hui, but my voice came out as a roar. A roar that sounded almost like, a tiger? Upon examined my reflection from the water, I could saw that I was no longer me. I was no longer small but larger in size, with white and black stripes furs, a tail and no mistaken, the face of my worst nightmare, the evil white tiger (Bái hǔ shā).

How? Why? What is happening to me? No words were formed but only roars broke out.
