1 Nightmare

"Water, water water." Yan kept on mattering while moving her head from side to side.

"Yan sweetheart keep quite, " a voice kept on muttering. "Everything is going to be ok, I promise I'll come back for you. " the soft voice sounded so comforting it did not match with the distress she felt. A lips kept on kissing her forehead and her cheeks while mattering sweet nothing's. She tried to look up and seek the comfort of the voice and could only see a blur...

A distress sound come out of her mouth and suddenly everything exploded...

Yan woke up with a start, her chest heaving up and down. Gasping for air, she reached to grab her chest with her hand as she tried to calm her racing heart. "Tired, " she thought to her self.

Every time it was the same dream, ever since she could remember.

It would end in an explosion and a heavy object pressing down on her with water all over the place. It stills scares her, that's why she is afraid to go into the water but has to for survival.

She observed her surrounding and saw a bush near by rustling. Prepared to face danger, suddenly a rabbit jumped out of the bush.

She didn't think twice before charging forward and grabbing the rabbit by the neck snapping its neck. It happened within seconds.

She didn't waste time and crawled out of the cave she was residing in for the night. "its time to go back. " she thought to her self, it has already been a week. She removed a sharp object from the waist of her shabby looking shorts and started to skin the rabbit.

Immediately after she started chewing on the flesh of the rabbit. Devouring it like she hasn't eaten for day's. She liked it warm.

"Thhhhhhthththththth" she hard some shaking from the ground and saw the wolf pack that come back to their territory.

She didn't have time for this. Not now of all times while she was feeling like this. this was the roughest week she had, Yan didn't have the patient to entertain this pack. They formed a circle around her and the Alpha in front. She never took her eyes away from the Alpha because she new he was the strongest.

The Alpha bared its teeth showing the intruder was not welcome.

Yan didn't waste any time moving forword and picked up a brunch near by, striking the Alpha while she thrusted her hand forward snapping the neck of the near by wolf like a twig.

A wolf tried to sneak from her back and jumped, its sharp canine directed to her neck, but it was like she had eyes at the back of her head.

She ducked down moving her hands up words penetrating the wolf stomach, pulling out its intestines. A painful howl could be hard coming out of the wolf that was injured. That made the wolfs go into a frenzy.

Growls could be hard in the forest. They all decide to attack at the same time knowing the opponent was stronger than them. Yan could read their body language and it agitated her even more and the need to finish this fast.

She immediately acted.

She removed another sharp object and started slaughtering the wolfs like she was crazed. She moved with agility and twisted her body in an abnormal position.

The Alpha knew when the other party was stronger than his pack. He chose to bark and retreat with the remaining wolfs. He knew when to choose his battles and this one he would have casualties that he couldn't afford since winter time was nearing.

Yan didn't have the time to chase after them like she would usually do. She just wanted to get home.

If there we're any on lookers they would have thought they we're seeing things and needed to sleep on it. No human being would have such strength like that. But no one new Yan, she was truly a miracle surviver. She went through hell before she could get to where she was today. At least she wasn't alone. She always had her mother tiger and brother cub.

"Don't waste any good far winter is near and the old ones are starting to tear." She thought to her self.

She started skillfully skinning the wolf that she had killed, making sure that too much blood hasn't smaged on the fur.

She had to hurry and get back to her brother's cub before he decide to start sniffing for her.

She went to look for the stream she passed by while looking for a place to sleep.

When she wanted to dip the fur in the water stream she paused for a second and saw her reflection, she looked at the creature that was staring back at her. It had golden eyes that was bright during the day and the night. Her face was smaged with dart and blood, her hair that was long and braided had mad, sticks and other things she didn't know was in there.

Yan was raised by a tiger since she was a four month baby. Her mother lost her two cubs when she found Yan being drowned by a human. It was also humans that killed her two cubs. The Instinct to protect an infant over came the tiger and she saved baby Yan. Killing the human on the spot and picking her up gently out of the freezing water. She licked Yan's face trying to comfort her while she brought her to the den and cuddled her to keep her warm.

Yan was raised along side her brother cub and was treated as a real cub. It was a miracle she survived with a tiger as a mother.

The saying was true. "A mothers love can conquer all. "

She walked, growled attacked like a tiger.

Sometimes she wondered why she didn't look Or had fur like brother cub and mother, it made her sad.
