The tigers eye - part 1

 THE TIGERS EYE

The girl standing in front of the tiger’s cage didn’t move a muscle. The tiger roared at her and started walking the length of her enclosure. She paced backward, then forward again and again. Isolated, they stood in front of each other. Staring. Glaring. The tiger’s eyes were a deep dazzling sapphire color as she shot a look towards the girl. ‘What is she staring at? Ugh, i hate humans’ the tiger thought. The tiger’s fur was white as snow and she had a tiny blush pink nose. Her teeth were covered in red stains and were yellow. For the last two hours, the girl had been standing there. Staring at the tiger deeply. ‘How come she’s not making silly faces at me or crying and hiding her face in her mum’s skirt. Where is her mum anyway.’ the white tiger pondered.


The tiger could only hear half of the noise the world and the humans were making. Sadly she only had one ear as she lost her other one in a deadly fight years ago. The tiger was now trapped in a vacant enclosure that had dead trees surrounding it. Brown and crinkled leaves were on the floor and the zookeeper had placed a few fake trees on the side. The tiger’s life was quite boring. Every single day the same events would happen: children would cry or laugh seeing her. The zookeeper would give her the most disgusting meet and some boring fancy french artists would come over and draw her.

Staring , clearly , wasn't an easy job. After a while, the tiger collapsed but again stood up on all four feet. Anger started roaring inside the tiger. She started roaring loudly although she could only hear half on noise she was making. ‘She will give up before i do . I am the tiger. I am way more stronger and patient than the little rascal.’. The tiger started to pace forwards and backwards. ‘ i am the tiger.’ 


Glaring. Staring. Glancing. The tiger and the girl glared  at each other. Suddenly, the tigers eyes grew bigger and then a black pupil appeared. The eye blinked a few times. It looked like a crescent moon in the empty sky. ‘You wanted to know what happened to my ear? Well here you gp. Watch and listen.’.Darkness filled the eye. Then a tiny light appeared and  soon it became as big as the girl. Now the girl could fit and go through the light. It was a tunnel...
