Lost~

I open my eyes to see everything around me is pitch black...It feels like I'm floating with nothing around me, I tried to move but it seems like I'm paralyzed...I hear a faint noise from a distance slowly getting louder as if it was getting closer. I couldn't tell what the sound was but it sounded distorted as if it was thousands of sounds playing at once. I wanted to cover my ears from the loud noise but again I couldn't move. That's when all of a sudden a bright light covered my vision and the sound stopped but was replaced with a soft voice. I couldn't tell what they were saying. I slowly opened my eyes to see a blurry face in front of mines. I tried to push myself up but failed as if my body has been stone for weeks. I brought my right hand to my face and tried wiping away the sleep from my eyes taking a better look at the person in front of me.

?: Hey, are you alright

I look to the person who said that and came faced to face with a .... tiger?

?: hey can you hear or understand me?

The tiger says this with a puzzled face with his ears folded down... Wait... TIGER!!! I start to panic as I see a tiger-looking person thing in front of me. I fell out of a bed and back up frantically trying to get as much distance from the thing in front of me as possible. I tried to scream for help but when I tried to speak I felt a sudden pain in my throat as if I haven't had an ounce of water in weeks. The tiger-like creature looks at me as I backed away from him unsure what to do. My back hits up against a wall, I look for an item nearby that I can use for a weapon and found a used candle on a candle stand on the floor that possibly fell from when I hit the wall. I grab the candle holder and take the unfinished candle off it and chuck it at the tiger which he dodges and I point the sharp end at the tiger thrusting it towards him a couple of times indicating that if he gets too close to me I'll use it.

?: H-hey I'm not going to hurt you. Just wanted to make sure you were ok.

He says this as he puts up his hands defensively. I don't move one bit still frighten. I tried to speak but like last time it didn't work. The tiger must have noticed this because he got up slowly and excused himself and left the room. When he left I tried to move but ended up collapsing as my knees gave out. It felt like my body has been sleeping on a stiff bed for weeks with no movement. While the tiger was still gone I took in my surroundings and noticed I was in a small room with a bed in the middle of the room with a nightstand next to it it had a few items on it. There was also a window above the bed showing off the night sky. On the other side of the room lies a dresser With a mirror on top of it. I looked above me to see a window with a ledge that held tiny objects on it that. That is probably where the candle fell from I thought to myself.

Now that I think about it where am I but before I could ponder on that thought the tiger human thing. I think I'll just say tiger, for now, entered the room with a glass of water and a plate of food on it. I go back to my defensive form as he enters the room.

?: I brought you something to eat. I didn't know what you like so I hope some meat and fruits are good.

When the smell hit my nose my stomach growled with hunger. Embarrassed by this I slowly lower my "weapon" but kept it close to me. When the tiger saw this his ears perked right up and he slid me the glass cup and the plate of food but backed up keeping a short distance from me. The food smelt amazing and on the plate was a fork and knife with some sort of meat that I didn't recognize and fruits like strawberries, Mangos, and cantaloupe on it. I slowly cut the meat into pieces and pick up a piece of it with the fork and placed it in my mouth.... it tasted so good!!! I hurried up and inhaled the meat taking gulps of water here and there. As the tiger saw me doing this I sense he had a bit of pride on his face. When I finished the meat I moved onto the fruits enjoying the juices flavors I've ever tasted. When I finished everything I felt better and more relaxed as I placed the fork and knife I used back on the place as well as the glass and slide it back to the tiger. He stood up and took the plate with him leaving the room for a couple of mins before returning to sitting in the spot he was in before. The tiger opened his mouth but closed it thinking of what to says and a couple of mins passed before he asked his first question.
