ORP: A Walk in the Park

Her head kept shaking ‘no’, but Adam wouldn’t stop talking. She tried shushing him with a finger. Her hand even tried using the cut throat simulation to shut up. But it was no use. The growls came. ”Nice, you woke him up,” she began trying to keep a low calm voice. ”He’s been here for a long time and used to humans. He just doesn’t like men for some reason, dominance I suppose.” Shannon heard the familiar cracks of his joints when the beast stretched after waking from a long nap. Her eyes then intently looked at Adam. ”Look, he’ll be hungry and if he sees you with his…”

But, Tony the Siberian tiger stood there in the hallway only seeing Adam, not Shannon. It stood there staring at his prey. Ears began to peer slightly back with the back left leg planting in the carpet. When the creature hunched to pounce Collier, Shannon moved around him standing in front. ”Tony” she called out with authority. Her voice was shaking, but she knew he would recognize her. The only other fear was if Tony was more hungry than expected.

The tiger stopped and ears went back up. ”He’s declawed so he can’t thrash you ok? I need the meat. Don’t throw….” but it was too late. The meat went flying in his direction. Shannon’s head went down for a second. ”Do you ever listen? You’ll get us both killed.” Angel turned to Adam a bit angry. ”We only have about 10 seconds before he’s done with that one wanting more and now he thinks you’re in a dominance game with him. From the looks of it, you don’t look like Spartacus and he will definitely win.” Tony had finished faster than 10 seconds but seemed content for another second. He wasn’t very happy. The tiger believed the man as overtaking his pride. Shannon was one of the females of his pride. White teeth bared slowly as the ears went back into their hunting position.

”The bedroom now!” Shannon screamed pushing and walking with everything she had but stumbling with him onto the bedroom floor. With her injured leg, she managed to painfully kick the door shut just before falling and landing directly on top of Adam eyes locked.
