It was time. I felt it. The beast within clawing at my skin, telling me to let it out. I felt it roar and pounce within, trying to fasten the process. I hated it. The change. I roared and hit the ground on my arms and legs. I felt my bones twist and turn, shorten and lengthen. I heard my skin tear and rip. I felt my blood run down my body and I felt my skin heal. I crawled my way to my door, opened it and crawled out. I felt my hair on my body grow and felt a tail shoot out of my skin. I watched my hands bend into itself and turn into paws with white and black stripes. I felt my face twist and change into the beast with in. The change stopped and I was breathing heavy, with my head on my paws, my tail curled up around my large body. I heard the birds chirping in the forest behind my house, the animals communicating. I got up slowly onto my 4 feet, stretched, licked my front paw and then yawned. I loved this form because I feel free but I hate the instincts to kill and eat animals because in human form and now I still love animals but the beast needs to eat. I felt my belly growl and then I sniffed the air. Deer, boar, possums, hmm, so many things to choose from. I hate knowing that the beast that I let out has eaten my parents, and I hate knowing that I couldn't control my beast but I don't regret it. They hurt me more then any one ever has and I've been shot, tortured and had teeth ripped out by poachers and hunters and well, full blooded humans.
I smelt a wolf pack running near my house and I growled and put my ears close to my head. I growled louder when the pack came into view. A light brown wolf whined and ran off. I sniffed. A young female. I started walking near the pack to the alpha, which was a black wolf with yellow eyes. I started stalking towards him, growling and snarling. The alpha growled back and that's when I roared and let the dog see my large, sharp teeth. The alpha whined and ran off with his tail between his legs and his pack followed. My territory. Mine. I didn't go after the dog but I knew he would never come back. I walked into the forest, looking from left to right, listening to the animals around me. I looked up into the sky and saw the moon and stars, twinkling at me. I exhaled and kept walking and then stopped and crouched. I heard it before I saw it.
A large male boar near a small lake drinking the water. I slowly moved towards the wild pig and when I got near a bush I hid in it and made sure the leaves cover my white and black fur. I kept my eyes on the boar and then leapt into the air, my claws extended and then sunk into the pigs hide. I bit the boars hind leg while the boar struggled valiantly. It kept trying to get me off of it's body and it succeeded. I fell off then launched myself at its neck, sinking my claws into it's shoulders and sunk my teeth into it's throat. I tasted the boars sweet, juicy blood burst onto my tongue. Yes! The beast fell down and it's heart beat stopped. I laid down near my dinner and panted. I caught my breath and then crawled to the fallen beast. I sunk my teeth into the boar's stomach and ripped off a chunk of fresh flesh. It's been to long. After I was finished I moved away from the carcass, tired and exhausted. I laid down onto a bit of grass away from the carcass and collapsed onto the ground. After a little rest, I slowly stood up and crept to the lake. I took a drink, lapping up the cool water into my mouth with my tongue and then looked at my reflection to see the beast that took over my body. The man eater. The thing that scared many people. The animal. I looked at my reflection and saw large blue eyes. The beast with in is the great white tiger.

My alarm clock started beeping, I growled and pushed a button to turn it off. I yawned, stretched and ran my hand through my hair. I smiled when I felt content and full again, me and the tiger working together to be whole. I growled again and got up. "Ugh!" School today. I brushed my wavy blonde hair and got ready for school. I went to my bathroom and put on mascara, foundation, eyeliner (pencil and liquid), red lipstick and a little bit of blush. I walked back into my room and put on skin tight leather pants, a pink belt, a white tank top, a semi tight leather bike jacket left undone and black leather boots with heels. I sighed and walked into the kitchen, grabbed a drink of water, grabbed my school bag off of the dining table, walked into the garage and walked around my black, motor bike that I made from scratch with a white tiger that I painted on it that looks like it is ripping apart the bike with its claws. I sighed and ran my finger across my bike. I like things fast. I grabbed my sunglasses and put them on, put my bag into the storage underneath my seat, closed it and put my black helmet on. I giggled and got onto my bike, opened the garage, rolled down my drive way and then closed my garage door. I faced the road and smiled. "School time," I smiled and sped off out of my drive way. I exhilarated the bike to make it go faster on the back roads. I took the corners not slowing down. My heart beat was becoming faster and faster and I felt adrenaline beating through my veins. I giggled and then I had to slow down. I growled, turned into my high school's parking lot and zoomed through to get a park. I revved the bike for the roaring sound it makes that makes me smile. I turned off the bike and took out the keys. I then got off my bike and took off my helmet. I shook out my long wavy hair and noticed some popular guys staring at me. I bared my teeth and growled loudly while they opened there mouths and looked away. I smiled and opened the storage under the seat, grabbed my bag and replaced my bag with my helmet in the storage. I slipped my black leather bag onto my shoulder and walked into the school grounds. I breathed in and smelt smoke, alcohol, heaps of different smelling deodorant, sweat, plants, a wide range of animals and insects and the distinct smell of old classrooms. I wrinkled my nose and tuned out on the tiger smell and focused on human smell. I heard heaps of teenagers talking very loud. I looked at a group of grade 11 popular boys talking about how I looked today which apparently attracts the opposite sex. I shook my head and tuned out of my tiger hearing. I love my tiger sight though. It's clearer and you can see people a long way away and another bonus is my blue tiger eyes. When I'm playful or loving something, my pupils grow huge, when I'm threatened or frightened my pupils become really small and any other mood, my eyes look like cats eyes, horizontal black slits within the iris. I love my eyes. I kept walking, ignoring the boys that stare. I was about to turn the corner to my locker until I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Excuse me, Passion, my car just died and I don't know what happened to it," A girl said and I turned around to see a popular girl, Chelsea and her follows, Trish, Jade, Hannah, Kelly and Pheobe," Can you please fix it for me after school?" I smiled at the pretty blonde haired, brown eyed girl and crossed my arms across my chest," Sure, how much you payin'?" I asked and raised my eyebrow. "Fifty," I nodded. "Meet you at my bike," and with that I walked off, I'm not popular but I could be. Everyone respects me and doesn't talk behind my back or spread rumours because I am strong and will hurt them. I got to my locker, unlocked it and grabbed books then closed my locker. I turned around really fast while bumping into someone during the process and dropped all my books as well as knock my sunglasses off of my face. "Oh, I'm so sorry," A deep, warm, wonderful voice said then bent down and picked up my books and pencil cases," I wasn't looking where I was going," He stood up and handed me my things," I'm new and I was just looking around." "It's ok, I should have been more careful" I murmured and put my stuff in my bag and when I looked up, I was startled to see long black hair that falls over his blue human eyes and his bangs just reach past his chin. His hair was layered and was in a messy style that boys never do any more even though it's the hottest hair style out. The boy had my glasses in his hand and his eyes focused on my eyes. "Your eyes, they look like cats eyes," His eyes widened and I looked at what he was wearing, black jeans with chains running from the front pockets to the back, a baggy white shirt and skate shoes... Hmm, I like it, I like it alot," Your pupils are... Growing, there real, aren't they?" The boy asked. I nodded and cleared my throat ,"My pupils are growing? Huh... Different... I'm lucky to have such unique eyes I guess," I sighed," My eyes are a bit different, that's why I where sunglasses... ," I informed him then looked down at my clothes... Huh, my tank top is a bit wrinkled... I smoothed out my singlet and then looked back at the new guy to see him looking me over. He grinned and that's when I took notice of his light pink, full lips, definitely kissable, I felt the tiger agree with me and purr in content of this new boy," I'm Joshua Harrison Leroy the second but you can call me Edge," He offered me his hand to shake and I gave him a small smile, grabbed my glasses out of his hand, put them on, then grabbed his hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you Edge, I'm Passion DeTygar," I let go of his hand and stepped away slightly to adjust my shoulder bag a little. "Pretty name," I looked up to see him staring at me, I blushed," I believe you shouldn't where your sunglasses, your eyes are pretty, why hide them? You do like them... Don't you?" "Yes, of course I like my eyes... It's just...Lot's of people like to stare and I don't like having people crowd around me, touching me and looking into my eyes," because I believe if people look into my eyes hard enough, they will see the tiger with in, and I hate cages and heaps of people staring at me makes the tiger within claws at my skin and tells me to run away... I can't handle it. So many bad things happened in cages and with people watching... I didn't notice that I was staring at nothing at the ground until Edge snapped me out of my memories of cages, I shivered. "Any one home in there?" He chuckled and when I looked up, the laughter left his eyes, being replaced by concern and that's when I knew tears weld up in my eyes but didn't fall onto my cheek," I'm sorry, what's wrong? Was it me? Don't cry." I gave him a weak smile. " I don't cry, I never cry, your hallucinating," I took a step towards him and then noticed how tall he was, a whole head taller, I reached out my hand to grab a bunch of his hair, moved it so I can feel it's silky texture with my fingers . When I pulled away he looked a bit startled but didn't act on it, just tensed his muscles and stood still. "Sorry, I-" I got interrupted by grade 11 popular boys group stepping beside Edge and I, Jackson, Liam, Tony, Russel, Xavier, Bradley, Scott and... Wait where's the alpha of the group? Harrison? The boys started bombarding Edge with questions like 'I can't believe Passion is talking to you, what's so good about you?', 'Do you think Passions hot?' and 'are you hoping to bang Passion, new kid?' and statements like ' Passion is a Grade 10 hottie and she doesn't like talking to anyone which is weird because she's talking to you,' and 'everyone believes Passion got her eyes ripped out then got people to put cat eyes in her eye sockets.' I snickered when Edge raised an eyebrow at me, grinning then started talking to the boys about well... Me. I unblocked my tiger senses and smelt and heard Harrison behind me. I turned around quickly when he was about to touch my hips, I dropped my bag and sunglasses and growled and showed him my teeth as well as scrunched up my nose to show him I was not happy in tiger language. I felt the tiger within want to rip him apart, eat him and show him some manners. I kept growling and snarling then before I noticed, everyone in the hall went quite and was staring at me and Harrison. Harrison grinned, the pig! I would eat him for breakfast... Literally... But he wouldn't be a full meal... Maybe his friends will also satisfy my tiger's needs "Hey baby, I thought you hated everyone and anyone and you don't talk to new kids," He said and I smiled. "Are you jealous that I was talking to Edge and not you?" I asked him and started to stalk towards him. "No, why would I be? I could get you in my bed anytime," He said with a smirk on his face when I stopped stalking towards him and was in front of him, I laughed. "You've tried so many times and haven't succeeded... I remember one time at a party when you dragged me into a room and tried to kiss me but I kept pushing you away, then next day you spread lies saying you f*ed me... Your a loser and a phoney and Edge here is the complete opposite of you," I turned around and grabbed my stuff then felt Harrison grab my hips and I growled louder and twisted around to claw him with my long human nails on his arm, drawing blood with the swipe. "Oh kitten, I like it when you play dirty," He told me and reached for me again then I heard a small bang, a crunch then saw Harrison's body slump involuntarily to the floor. I turned towards his attacker and saw Edge pulling his fist back to his body and my Tiger part of me calmed down and purred with in. Edge was shaking his hand then bent down over Harrisons body and whispered words to him that only I could hear. Harrison was down but he could hear every word. "Don't ever touch Passion again, Harrison or I will do more then punch you in the face," Harrison whimpered and gingerly touched his eye while looking at a very angry Edge," Passion deserves better then you, you only want her for her body but she won't give it to you. Your low and don't deserve to be treated with respect. I swear if you touch Passion or even look at her, I will come after you and hurt you," Edge got up and walked towards me with a smile. Without noticing, my tiger with in got so happy I started purring out loud. Everyone looked at me and I knew my pupils were very large plus I had a small smile on my face. Edge's smile grew. "Are you ok?" Edge asked, I kept purring while giving him a nod with my head. "I'm great," I told him, still purring Why am I acting like this? It's not normal. I'm normally a independent tiger but I like Edge. I have feelings for a guy I only met 20 minutes or so ago. How? But I already had my answer, he defended me and kept me safe from another man. "Your purring," Edge told me, I opened my mouth still purring, growled softly, closed my eyes and got myself together. "I... I do that some times, I like to mimic Big cat sounds," I cringed on the inside and thought how lame I was. "That's cool... What grade are you in?" "10, you?" "11, can you show me to my class for animal behaviour?" "Of course," I smiled," What's the room?" "K7," He told me and he studied my face. "It's just down here," I pointed down the hall," If you want, I can show you to your classrooms till you get used to the school," please say sure, yes, anything that will let me to do so? He smiled," That would be great." We started walking towards his class and I pulled myself together, put on my normal expression, put on my sunnies and fixed up my jacket. Everyone was staring at Edge and I, so I took off my sunnies and growled as a warning. After I growled, everyone turned around and kept doing what they wanted to do, then the bell rang for classes. "Here," I motioned to the door of his classroom then hugged Edge, kissed him on the cheek and whispered," Thank you, for everything," I stepped back and saw Edges face turned a light pink. I grinned," I will come get you after class," I told him while walking away and after math class, which was boring as always. After class I walked to where Edge was waiting for me then took him to his next class which was English. Throughout that day, Edge and I talked about my eyes and Harrison's bruised face. It was good to find someone like Edge. He's sweet, funny, caring, cute and my tiger part of me likes him too. School finally came to an end. I walked to my bike with Edge following. I smiled when I saw my baby and ran my finger along the handle bars sighing happily. "Nice bike," Edge said approvingly. "Made it and painted it myself," I said dreamily which made Edges eyes widen and his mouth opened. "Really?" I nodded," you are amazing!" I blushed. He caught my blush and smiled while I looked away. The tiger started clawing at my skin to get let out. I gasped in pain, took a deep breath and looked back at Edge. " I have some stuff to do then I need to go home," I told him. "Stuff? What type of stuff?" He asked me with raised eyebrows and a cheeky grin on his face. I opened my mouth and then Chelsea was walking my way. "Hey new guy, I need to steal Passion now, sorry," she grabbed my arm and started dragging me away from Edge. I felt the tiger disapprove of me leaving Edge. I growled and yanked my arm away from Chelsea, took off my sunnies, and walked up to Edge. "I gotta fix Chelsea's car," I informed him," and I need to go home and feed my pet cat," He nodded and then hugged me. I smiled, kissed his cheek then waved good bye and left him standing near my bike shocked, yet smiling. Chelsea walked to her Ford Mustang with me following and I sighed dreamily. Nice car... But I love my bike more. "I don't know what happened, I revved it to here it roar but then it sounded like it choked and wouldn't turn on again-" I nodded and she kept talking but I tuned out and got to work. I opened the bonnet and checked the oil, water, I checked the cords and the engine. I turned around and asked for a tool box and a jack. Chelsea went to the boot and came back with a tool kit and a red jack. I jacked up the front of the car so I could slide under the car and check for leakages and broken parts. I grabbed a clamp and a screw driver. I tightened screws and fixed bolts. I used a rag and cleaned some oil and dirt off of a leakage and tightened a bolt there. I got out from under the car, went to the engine and used a clamp and tightened a very loose screw. I smiled when I found a broken wire. I leaned over the car's front, and put my hands deep with in the car, twisted the wires back together and used electric tape to keep it from coming undone. I got up, dusted my hands on a rag and looked at Chelsea talking to Harrison and his crew about everything but the conversation always changes back to Harrison saying how nice my arse looks. I rolled my eyes. "Chelsea, throw me your keys," Chelsea grabbed her keys from her pocket and through them at me. I caught them and slid into the drivers side seat. I put the keys in the ignition and smiled when the car roared back into life. I gasped in pain. The tiger is getting impatient. I need to go... NOW! I took the key out of the ignition, lowered the jack and the car, put the tool box and the jack into the boot, shut it, went to Chelsea and smiled a fake smile. "Fixed, loose screws and snapped wire, $50 please," I held out my hand to Chelsea, she gave me the note and then turned her attention back to the boys... No thank you, no nothing! I locked my jaw together because of the pain caused from the tiger. I ran to my bike, hopped on, not caring about my helmet, checked the time, an hour and a half spent on fixing Chelsea's car with the tiger clawing and roaring at me to let it out. Very good. I put the key in the ignition, turned the key and backed up my bike. I growled in pain, revved my bike so it roared and covered up the sound of my roar. I looked up breathing heavy to find Edge walking my way. I smiled when my tiger stopped hurting me and purred. Maybe i need to take Edge home with me so my tiger is always content. "Hey, Pash, just wondering if I could, you know, hang out with you this afternoon? My parents are fighting right now and I needed to get out of the house for a while..." He stopped in front of my bike and I saw sadness in his eyes. "Sure, you can stay the night if you want... I understand family problems and well, I am lonely at home with no one to keep me company," My tiger roared at me and I mentally said, you know what I mean. He smiled," Thank you so much, I got stuff in my car to keep me clothed for a week," He informed me and I nodded. "Get in your car and follow me, just keep up with me because... I do love to ride fast," I smiled and revved up my bike causing a small burn out with my back wheel. Edge laughed, winked at me then walked down to where a nice looking Holden Commodore was parked. His car was white with blue flames. My mouth opened wide. This boy's got style. He opened the drivers side door and got in. I grinned and exhilarated out of the parking lot fast, pulled over fast and did a burn out while waiting. I smelt the burning rubber and chemicals within my bike with my tiger smell and I sighed, running my hand through my hair waiting. Next minute a car pulled over behind me and beeped it's horn. I turned around, grinned, put my hands on the handles and then twisted the handle making the bike drive down the road fast with Edge following in his car. I felt my long hair blow behind me and my jacket flap on my sides. I leaned into a turn, without breaking and slowed a little to make sure Edge was following me and he was... Going pretty fast to keep behind me. I turned around and he winked at me, I blushed and turned around. My tiger with in wanted him to scratch her ears and rub her belly. I giggled because I wanted more from him then that. I turned onto my road and went faster then slowed and turned into my driveway. My drive way was cement about a kilometre long, leading to my garage. With in the kilometre to my house is bush. I slowed and breathed in the air. Home. Mine. I looked around, saw the lake and animals drinking. I licked my lips. My tiger and I was starving for another hunt. I saw the house, reached into my pocket for my keys and pressed the button to open my garage without crashing my bike into a tree. I heard loud music being played in Edges car... Hmm.. Put that ass to work by LMFAO. I smiled and drove into my garage while Edge parked his car in front of the other roller door. I walked out of the garage with my bag and walked to Edge. "This is my place," I informed him," I'm kind of the only one living here," because I ate my parents... My house is a large brick house with 5 rooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 laundry, 1 entertainment rooms, 1 beautiful kitchen and a studio where I practice dancing. That's right, I'm a major badass, I break dance, do hip-hop, jazz, contemporary, tap and ballet...that's right, I do ballet, not as badass as you thought huh? "C'mon," I walked to my front door, unlocked it with my key and shoved it open with my hip. I walked through the hall with Edge following behind me. I turned left at the end of the hall and walked into the lounge room and gestured around the room with my hand, smiling then turned around to see Edge looking at me, he quickly looked away from me and looked around the room. I had a large right angle couch, fluffy, soft and the colour of white. I had white carpet and a Persian mat, all different shades of blue. I had a large plasma on a white small entertainment unit with blu ray player, a DVD player and a large stereo. On the left side of the unit is a large bookshelf, full of books and ornaments of tigers. On the right side of the unit is another large bookshelf, full of DVD's. I walked to the stereo, pressed play and let the music vibrate off the walls and soothe me. I sighed then turned around to see Edge studying my body again. "Umm, what do you think?" I asked nervously, playing with the edge of my tank top. "It is gorgeous," He replied and I didn't know if he was talking about the room or me. "Umm, next room?" I walked to the kitchen which has white marble bench top and white cupboards. I let him look at it then showed him the dining room which has a chandelier hanging on the roof, above the black slate table. I walked down the hall to show him my studio which had timber floors, mirror walls and poles on the side of the room for my stretching and ballet. I then showed him the 4 spare rooms which all had queen sized beds and cupboards for clothes and carpet floors and whatever else. All the rooms have different themes. One of the rooms is a princess room. Pink room with pink walls and pink wardrobes, pink everything. Another room is a plain room with black everything. Another room has pictures of wolves on the walls, a wolf mat, a wolf quilt cover and a wolf cushion. The other room is a room where I hang up my drawings and photos... I even have photo's of me in tiger form. The room has a nice rainbow rug, teddies in a corner and the quilt cover is a mauve colour. The spare bathroom is white with soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes and tooth paste. The shower is large with 3 shower heads. On the opposite side of the room is a large spa and toilet. The faucet is gorgeous too. White marble tops, a deep sink and beautiful taps. I then showed him my room and my bathroom. The theme of my room and the bathroom is white, light blue and black. I walked to my bed. My bed is a queen sized bed with blue sheets, a black and white tiger print quilt, blue and tiger print pillows plus a cushion with a tiger face on it. My rooms floors is timber like the kitchen and dining rooms floors and the halls floors. On the ground is a tiger print rug with my bed sitting on top of it. I listened to the music for a second and noticed the song was 'Rock you like a Hurricane' from the movie 'Rock Of Ages'. I blushed when I looked at Edge, looking around my room, taking in every detail with care like if he missed a detail he would fall into a pit of nothingness. When he looked at me I beckoned him to me with my finger then showed him my bathroom. My tiles is black with metallic blue flakes through it. My shower is like the spare bathroom's but with my stuff in it and the door is always open for my tiger to wash itself after a meal. That reminded me of how hungry I am. I let him look at the toilet, my black spa, my faucet and everything else. "Nice place, you must have a fair bit of money," He turned around and smiled. I grinned," You can have the princess room because you really are such a princess," He narrowed his eyes and I giggled," You can have whatever room you like." I walked back into my room and took off my boots. I sighed and took off my jacket as well then walked into the kitchen to see Edge walking to his car to get 2 bags... One I assume full of clothes. He walked through the door. "Hungry? Thirsty?" I asked him, went to my fridge and got 2 can's of Coke, and a plate of cookies I cooked yesterday. "Thank you for letting me stay Passion," He walked to the breakfast bar, sat on a stool and grabbed a cookie. "Anytime, I think I owe you for hitting Harrison," I told him, popped my can open and guzzled the fizzy drink. "Pfft, he deserved it... It's not right the way he tried to get in your pants and touch you when you don't want to be touched," He told me around bites of his cookie," These are good," He told me with the crumbs in his mouth. 'Thank you," I smiled, grabbed a cookie and nibbled on the sides. He smiled, I walked out of the kitchen to where Edge was sitting, jumped up onto the bench next to him, grabbed my drink and drank it. I put the can down, licked my lips and looked down at Edge... He was studying my body again and I can't let that go without saying something. I crossed my legs and leaned forward, towards him," See anything you like?" I purred. He looked at my face then smiled," That's for me to know and you to find out," He told me, got up, grabbed his stuff and shuffled down to the black themed room. I sighed and felt the tiger part of me want out. I growled and hit the ground with a thud, clawing at my stomach. I heard Edge run behind me but all I know is the tiger needs out and she wants out now. I used my hands to drag myself to the front door but then I felt strong hands grab my hips, left me up, walked to the lounge room and laid my on the couch. I felt sweat drip down my face... Well, I hope its sweat and not tears. I cried out and felt my bones twist and turn. I opened my eyes to see Edge looking at me with a very worried and concerned expression on his face and I couldn't help myself and smiled but I think it looked more like a grimace. Then I closed my eyes and let the tiger take over my body because I knew I couldn't stop it.

Edge didn't know what to do. He heard Passion hit the ground when he was putting his stuff away then he ran down the hall to where Passion was clawing at her stomach with her nails. She whimpered and growled. She cried out in pain and she screamed but he didn't know what to do. This beautiful girl with the Tiger eyes he met today was fine a minute ago but not anymore. He grabbed her tense, shaking body and walked her to the couch. He laid her on the couch and smoothed her beautiful, soft hair away from her sweat covered face. Her eyes were tightly shut. Her watched as her body shook and squirmed. Her hands were in fists on either sides of her body. She pushed up her chest, her head and butt still on the couch and screamed. He felt that scream shake his body. He knelt next to the couch, smoothed her hair off of her face and ran his fingers down her beautiful face. What do I do? What is wrong with her? Think damn it! He thought to himself. Passions breathing was coming out in gasps then she opened her eyes and stared at Edge. She smiled slightly then closed her eyes and whimpered. He heard crunching and snapping coming from her body.
He watched her body form change. He watched her roll onto the floor at his knees and saw her skin rip, blood oozing out of the sores then the skin grew back. He watched her bones move and dislocate themselves. He saw a tail slip out of her pants... A black and white striped tail. Passion whimpered and her feet and hands changed. Her fisted hand's fingers shrunk and crunched together to make a paw without claws then he heard crunching. Long, sharp claws grew out of her paws. He gasped and moved backwards, curious but afraid. Her head grew and her body twisted and turned. Her hair grew thicker and became white and black. Her clothes were ripped apart underneath her twisted body. Passion roared then her tiger head hit the ground, in between her soft paws. Her body stopped changing form.
Edge moved away till he hit a wall. The tiger was breathing heavy and her tail was wrapped around her large body. Edge was frightened and he didn't know what to do. Run? Find some raw meat for her to eat? Poor Passion. Ask the tiger if she will eat me? Haha, I'm delirious. This is all just a sick joke. He thought to himself then laughed then watched the big cat's ears move back and forth then she stood up on her four feet and turned to where he sat on the ground. The tiger sat there, studying him. She tipped her head slightly in a very cute way then looked away and started licking her large white paw then rubbed that paw on her face. Edge looked into the tigers eyes and saw Passions eyes, her pupils large like he saw them today when he punched Harrison. The tiger stopped cleaning itself then looked at him again, then stood up and approached him slowly. His breaths were coming in gasps and his heart was beating at a million beats per second. He closed his eyes. This is it, I'm gonna die. I'm gonna be eaten my a tiger, a tiger that was a very cute girl only a couple minutes ago... A girl that I started to have strong feelings for... Why me? Edge thought to himself then waited for the cat to rip him apart but it didn't come. He opened one eye and saw the tiger lying in front of him, with her head on her paws, looking up at him in a way that said I won't hurt you. He understood that look then he slowed his heart beat and his breathing. The tiger sat up so her face was near his and then she moved her face near his hand. He was starting to freak out again then he watched the tiger start licking his fingers, swirling her tongue around every finger and he laughed out loud.
"Stop it, that tickles!" He said then watched the tiger move it's head back and looked at him.
Edge smiled, stood up slowly and walked to the kitchen to wash his hand. He squirted soap onto his hand and scrubbed the tiger slobber off of it. He turned on the tap and rinsed off the soap. He then turned off the tap, dried his hands on his thighs, turned around and saw the tiger staring at him. He walked to the cat, slowly held out his hand, closed his eyes and waited for whatever the cat would do. He waited and then felt it. Felt her head on his hand. He opened his eyes to see the tiger rubbing her head on his hand. He laughed and scratched behind her ear. She leaned into the scratch and her chest rumbled. She was... Purring. Then he heard her stomach rumble. She walked away from him, to the front door and scratched the door with her paws.
"Oh, that's why you tried crawling away when you were changing hey tiger," He heard her growl softly," Arrghh, I mean Passion," She purred again and backed away from the door for him to open it.
When Edge opened the door, the white and black cat walked out the door, then walked into the forest. Edge watched her leave then closed the door.
"Wow, different, you don't get that everyday," He told himself then checked the time on a clock.
5 in the afternoon.
"Hmmm, I should cook dinner tonight for when Passion get's back... I knew she was different but I didn't know she'd be that different," He smiled and looked at his hand that the tiger rubbed her head against and felt the sensation of her soft fur. His hand tingled from remembering that touch. He smiled. Is it possible that knowing Passion changes into a tiger made me like her even more? He thought to himself then went through the fridge and cupboards.
"Spaghetti Bolognese it is," He grabbed the ingredients then started cooking.

I can't believe Edge patted me. He was scared, I smelt it but he got over it so fast. He patted me? He scratched my ears. Oh my god he did. I purred and walked deeper into the forest to get food if I can catch something today. I smelt the air. Hmmm, Deer, squirrels ... Yuck, skunks! And... Huh? Spaghetti Bolognese? I shook my head and chuckled inside. Edge. God he's a hottie... Did I just seriously think that? Oh wow! He's all I think about and here I am, going hunting and I'm thinking of the sexy man in my home? Oh no I need to stop thinking about him and strategize for the hunt... Maybe I should just go home and eat whatever Edge is cooking? Nah, hunt then go home when I'm satisfied. I sniffed the air again then dived into a bush.
I listened to something coming my way. I sniffed the air. A doe. A female deer. I didn't blink until the animal came into view. I crept forward slowly, not making a sound. I watched the doe go to the bush opposite of the one I'm in. I softly crept out of hiding and crept closer to the animal while it grazed. I was about to leap then felt something hard, dug into my side, running me into a tree. I whimpered. A male deer has got me in his antlers. He twisted his head, digging his sharp antlers into my flesh then pulled away. I hit the ground with a thud and I felt something on the ground cut into my side and staying, buried in my flesh. I growled softly and looked at the deer that attacked me. The doe that I was going to have for dinner has ran off and it was just me and this big male. I looked at my side and saw blood dripping down my side. I forced myself to my feet with what little strength I have then looked at my other side. Seriously? A stick? Why me? What did I do wrong? I looked at the deer, standing a couple meters away from me and roared. It backed up a couple steps but held it's ground. Bad move deer. I snarled and circled the animal. It kept a weary eye on me circling it. I smelt it's fear and determination. I watched the deer watch me then a deer jumped out of a bush into the deer's view. It got distracted and that was my window of opportunity to jump on him. I ran and leapt onto the beast and bit into its side. It cried out and then I ripped a piece of flesh off of it's side. It bucked and I fell off then leapt at it's throat, snapping my jaws together while shaking my head. I heard a snap then the animal fell. I panted and laid down on the ground. My sides were burning from the deer and stick still lodged into my side. I crawled to where the deer fell and started to rip the flesh off of it's side, letting the blood run down my throat, bursting onto my tongue. I growled softly then kept eating the animal until my belly was full. I crawled away from the carcass to rest. Well tried to crawl away. I felt blood still oozing out of my sides and it stung but I couldn't do anything about it. I got up lazily, tired from the hunt and full stomach, then started making slow progress to my home. I saw the house, laid on the grass, panting and dizzy from loss of blood. I roared, hoping Edge would hear it. He didn't come out so I roared again and walked a couple of steps then fell onto the ground again. I whimpered then heard my door open. I heard a gasp then Edge was beside me, touching my shredded side, courtesy of the deer I ate. I growled when he touched a very tender spot. He looked at my face and patted my head.
"What happened?" He whispered then I rolled over to show him my other side, where a large stick was lodged deep into my body.
"I will be right back ok?" Edge then ran into the house.
After a couple minutes of excruciating pain, Edge came back with alcohol, water, towels and cloth's. Edge opened the alcohol and poured some of the contents around the stick... Which stung like hell then wiped the blood matted fur around the stick then wrapped his hand around the stick.
"Please don't hurt me baby girl, I'm just trying to help you," He yanked and I howled in pain then panted.
He patted my head then yanked again and again and again then the stick came free. I sighed and laid still while Edge stopped the blood flow with a towel then poured alcohol on the wound.
"Roll over please Passion," He told me and I did, I rolled onto his lap, my head on his lap. He looked down at me and chuckled.
I purred and then growled when he poured alcohol on my side.
"Shhh," I put my paw on his stomach lightly moving it up so I could see his hard, abs. I purred then licked his stomach," Passion!" He laughed and then patted my neck while I kept licking his stomach.
He grabbed the towel then put it on my side, drying the alcohol and blood. He then put the towel away and grabbed a cloth, dipped it in the bucket of water and cleaned the dried blood off of my fur. I looked up at the sky and saw stars twinkling at me. I sighed and licked Edges arms and stomach. He groaned when he finished cleaning my wounds.
"Now I need a shower, Passion," My ears went up because I thought it was an invitation and I got up off of the ground, looked at my sides and noticed they were healing fast.
Edge gasped, got up, bent over and check my shredded side... Well side that was shredded and felt the fur," Healed," He checked my other side," Healing but still bad," He walked to my front, knelt infront of me and cupped my tiger cheeks in his hands," Don't ever come home like that again... I thought you were gonna die," I purred and licked his cheek," Eww! Passion," He pulled away, lifted his shirt then wiped his face with it.
I used my paw to knock him backwards. He fell to the ground, looking up at me. I purred, moved my face to near his ear and kept purring. I walked over his body and he looked up. I didn't know what I was doing but when I noticed, my body was changing fast, back into a human with no pain. Edges eyes widened then I had my human hands on either side of his head and my knees on either side of his hips, his shirt was still showing a little bit of his stomach.
"Passion?" His voice was thick with some emotion I couldn't understand, he closed his eyes then I looked at my self... Naked.
I groaned, leaned closer to Edge and kissed the side of his mouth lightly, his eyes flied open then he blushed.
"Thank you for cleaning my sides, and taking the stick out and," I noticed his eyes keep travelling down to my chest then he'd shake his head then look at my face again, I grinned," lifting me up in your strong arms and holding me close to your chest while walking me inside my house since I'm in heaps of pain right now and my side," I looked at the hole in my side," Is sore as?" I smiled.
"Hmmm, what do I get for helping a beautiful part tiger part human being?" He asked me while grabbing my hips lifting me up while he scrambled to his feet, then he put an arm behind my knees and the other behind my back.
He looked my body over in his arms while I put my arms around his neck and put my chest against his," Hmmm, anything you'd like, kind sir," I smiled put my head on his shoulder while purring.
Edge slowly walked to the door, opened it with his hand on my back then shoved it open with his bum, walked me over to the couch, then put me down slowly and carefully. I growled then whimpered when I moved and hurt my side.
I looked up at Edge's beautiful concerned blue eyes," I need to change back into a tiger so I can heal faster and maybe have a shower with you because I smell like alcohol and blood?" I smiled innocently while he thought about it then nodded.
"It's only fair, I saw and still am seeing your lovely naked body so I guess you get to see mine," I grinned, put my head back and bared my teeth while my body screamed in pain.
Then it stopped and I was lying there in tiger form again, panting and tired. Edge knelt down in front of me and scratched behind my ear. I purred and leaned into it.
"C'mon Passion, shower time," I jumped off the couch and walked to the bathroom, flicking my tail from side to side with Edge behind me.
I sniffed the air. God he smells good. He smelt of sweat, nature, a little bit of my blood and Lynx. I walked into the spare bathroom, turned around and watched Edge walk in. He was beautiful in every way. He looked down at me and grinned. He grabbed the edges of his white shirt and slid it over his head. I licked my tiger lips and watched as he teased me with his body while I was in tiger form. I looked at my side and saw that it was only a scratch. Hmmm... I got a plan. Edge took off his chains and belt, then put them on the sink's bench. God, I can't take this much longer. I watched as he slid his jeans down his narrow hips while watching me. I licked my paw while still watching Edge's muscles work with every movement. Edge was wearing bonds underwear. I started to purr as he grabbed the top of his underwear. More, more, take it off! I looked up to see him smiling at me then he took them off. I sat down abruptly and stared. Wow... He's Arrgghhh, damn. He walked to the shower door and opened it. He looked at me and smiled.
"See anything you like," He asked me then turned on all 3 taps.
I growled. Stop teasing me Edge. While Edge was checking the temperature of the taps, I walked up behind him and nipped lightly at his calf muscle. He jumped then turned around.
"Hey! Don't do that! Is this to hot for you ,Tiger?" He asked me then moved out my road so I could hop into the shower.
Warm water ran down my fur, massaging my sides and warming my body. I purred and closed my eyes. I heard the shower door close and felt a hand run down my back.

"Passion, can I wash you now?" He asked then I opened my eyes," Growl if it's a no and lick me if it's a yes," I walked up to him and licked up his thigh... He gasped then cleared his throat," I didn't mean like that Passion, but ok," He grabbed some shampoo then poured it from the ruff of my neck, down to my bum. He knelt down then massaged the soap into my fur, picking up dirt and blood out of the fur. I purred, stayed still as I felt him rub and massage my body. I then waited for him to finish. He cleaned everything, making sure he didn't miss anything then made me rinse off. I sighed when I felt Edges hands getting the soap off of my body. When he was finished, I looked up at the sexy god that has helped me more then anyone ever has just in one day. He started to wash himself with a cloth, going oh so slow just to tease me. I watched his dark hair, cling to his neck, cheeks and forehead. I watched his muscles work as he washed his body. I watched his lips tilt upwards in a sensual promise that made my body tingle in delight. I changed form oh so quickly, walked to where Edge is standing, pushed him against the wall and kissed his lips with such fierceness I knew my lips were going to be bruised. I opened my mouth over Edges and felt him react by doing the same. I tasted the warm water in the kiss as well as shampoo and soap. I felt Edge drop his cloth, put one arm around my waist and the other in my wet, blonde hair. I put one hand on his cheek and the other in his hair. I felt Edge deepen the kiss by yanking my head back with my hair. It hurt but in a very good way. I moaned into his mouth and he smiled. I pulled away slightly to talk with my lips just brushing his.
"Don't... Ever, tease me like that again Edge, or I will," I smiled, ran my hand down his hard stomach.
"Well, Passion, don't ever come home in the state you were in today ever again, you scared me," I smiled and brushed his hair backwards with my hand.
"Hmmm, I will be extra careful but I can't promise that since a tiger needs to hunt," I kissed his jaw, then nipped at it, making him groan, tighten his grip then slowly relax. I kissed down his neck, over his collar bone, over his shoulder then I stopped and looked up at the man in front of me.
He sighed when I stopped, grabbed my waist then switched our positions, so I was on the wall and he had me pinned there with his body while he kissed my eyebrows, my cheeks, my closed eyelids, my nose, my jaw and then my lips, acting like they were the centre of his universe. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I felt him run his large hands down my sides,while he kissed my eyebrows, my cheeks, my closed eyelids, my nose, my jaw and then my lips, acting like they were the centre of his universe. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I felt him run his large hands down my sides,down my waist, around the curve of my hip, over my bottom and lifted one of my thighs to wrap around his waist. He kissed my neck as he moved my thigh up slowly, running his hand down my thigh in the process. I put my leg over his hip, used my hand to yank Edge off of my neck and kiss him again, exploring his mouth.I pulled away, closed my eyes and parted my lips slightly. I tasted the now cold water dripping into my mouth as I felt Edge kiss and bite my collar bone.
"Hmmm," He said against my throat.
"Hmmm?" I replied.
He smiled, lifted me up, opened the shower door, put me down then grabbed a towel and slowly ran the towel down my body, to dry me but it felt more like a intimate caress. I watched Edge then I felt the tiger want out.
"Not now," I groaned then whimpered in pain, hit the ground on all fours then let the change happen. I collapsed to the floor with my head on my paws, looking at Edge. God he's lucky that he doesn't have to change form.
Edge sighed, dried himself then knelt down in front of me and scratched behind my ear. I didn't do anything for a while, I just stared at him then looked away. He sighed then put on boxers and opened the bathroom door.

"I will get you some spaghetti and water," He the left the room.
I dragged my tired body off of the ground and walked slowly and quietly to the kitchen, where I heard and smelt Edge. My Edge. Damn it, he's not mine! He doesn't even like me? Does he? Shut up! He doesn't know me. But he does, more then anyone. I growled to myself and shook my head hard.
"Hey, Passion, where are you? Food's here," I walked to the end of the hall to see Edge walking to the lounge room with 2 large containers, one full of Spaghetti Bolognese and the other, full of water.
I sat down and scratched my ear, then I saw Edge walk out and look at me, smiling.
"Must be some itch, need me to scratch it for you?" He asked, then walked towards me, knelt down, then moved my leg so he could scratch my ear for me. I leaned into the scratch and fell onto my side, giving him access to my belly. He chuckled then ran his fingers through the fur on my stomach. I purred and tilted my head down to lick his ridged stomach. He stopped moving his hand and looked down at my face.
He sighed. He got up, went to the kitchen, grabbed a large bowl full of spaghetti Bolognese, a can of coke for himself then went to the lounge room. I laid there for a while because I'm tired then rolled over onto my stomach, with my head on my paws and closed my eyes. Just a little rest, Just going to close my eyes for a little bit then join Edge in the lounge room. I yawned, then felt sleep take over my tired body and mind.
I woke up a little while after that to feeling a warm hand run down my head, down my back and repeated the process. I yawned and opened my eyes. No one ahead of me, lights still on, hmmm. I still felt the hand stroke my back. I turned my body slightly to see if someone was on my left... Nope, I turned to my right and saw Edge laying down beside me on his side, patting my back. I let out a breath that moved Edges hair. He moved to his head back to see me watching him with half lowered lids. I yawned again and got up. I stretched one leg at a time, then stretched my back out, then yawned again. I sniffed the air and then lifted my paw to lick it. I felt my mouth dry and the need for water. I walked into the lounge room and saw a container of water, a container of milk and a container of spaghetti. I felt like a fat, pampered house cat. I walked to the water and lapped up the contents into my mouth with my tongue. I then moved over to the container of milk and sniffed it. I purred, sat on the ground then lapped up all the contents out of the container. When I was done, I licked my tiger lips and looked around. Edge has moved from his position on the floor to him sitting on the couch, watching me with a smile.
I got up and jumped up on the couch beside him and licked his strong arm. He chuckled and laid down on the couch, with his legs in front of my standing body. I yawned, laid down beside him, and put my large paw and head onto his stomach, looking up at his beautiful face, studying his sharp, dark eyebrows, his high cheekbones, his square jaw, his full lips, his perfect nose and his beautiful, slightly large blue eyes that has his dark hair, that falls into them sometimes that he has to flick out of his vision. He reached down onto the ground, picked up the remote and turned on my plasma, completely oblivious of me staring at him. He had one arm wrapped around my tiger's body, scratching my side, where his hand rests. I sighed then looked at what he put on... Hmmm, Sponge bob Square pants. I smiled within and purred out loud, watching the cartoon. I looked at the time on the plasma and read 9:30. I yawned and looked at Edge. He yawned and then covered his mouth. I nudged his arm, got up, jumped off the couch then walked to the hall, turned around and watched Edge. He was still on the couch, watching me. I turned around to the hall, then turned around and tilted my head to the hall, the gesture read, 'Bed time'. He sighed, swung his feet around so he was sitting up, then he ran his hand through his hair, then resting his hand on the back of his neck... I watched the movement and blushed with in. I loved that movement. He got up, turned off some lights, grabbed my container of food, put it in the fridge, went back, and got the water and milk container. He rinsed out the milk container and filled up my water, put it on the ground, turned off the lights then walked down the hall to his room. I followed him and watched him take off his boxers and slid into his bed naked. I watched him with my awesome, night time tiger vision and laid down beside the bed.

"Passion, where are you?" Edge whispered while holding his hand out near the ground, beside the bed, near me. I nuzzled his hand with closed eyes," Want to sleep up here with me? If you do, come up... It's a bit cold and I would love your warmth," I opened my eyes, stood up and then lightly jumped up onto the bed, moving to the bottom of the bed, then laid down, purring. I felt Edges feet only a couple centimetres away so I crawled to beside his legs and rested. I felt Edge pat my head then his breathing became deeper and slower. He was asleep. I sighed and closed my eyes. I dreamt of Edge kissing me and telling me how much he loved me. Can't blame me for dreaming of such things when Edge is so desirable. Edge. My Edge.

-By me, I think.

Sorry if your first comments bad but, i'd like to point out something about your character. Most characters(girls chiefly) have blond hair and huge big eyes, yes it's beautiful looking, but it just boring with the same character idea. I'd like something different, not frequently used, it's my opinion though. But other than that i really loved your story. Keep it up.
