I am the Night!

"Hmm, brother you are already back? thought you would take your sweet time hunting" - said confused Saba while looking at Sandro, who was holding some horned rabbits and what seemed to be a black cat?

 Sandro was somewhat happy-looking. He had the smile of a child who went to the zoo and "legally" acquired a pet.

Snaky was observing an animal that Sandro brought, The animal had the shape of a cat, but it was huge for one, its teeth and claws looked very sharp. But its eyes were reddish? but out of focus. Orochimaru thought that poor thing suffered from concussion. 

 Saba knew that his brother was worst at keeping something "safe", He knew well that whatever he held or played with would 100% break.

"Look brother I got us a cat!" - Said happy Sandro

"I hope it's refundable or comes with a warranty, Because, firstly it's a tiger, not a cat and secondly that thing looks like it went through Vietnam. The hell did you even do to it?"

"Nothing much just tapped it lightly on the head"

"# I think that poor thing became retarded #"

"Come on man it's not that bad" Said Sandro

While the brothers were arguing snaky noticed that the cat was lost in its thoughts, it seemed to be recalling its past and questioning life choices, how did it even end up here? what was it even doing, or what will it do next?

====================

POV: Poor Cat

===================

'Where am I? Why is it so bright? Is the sun already up?'

'No... what are those... humans?'

'my vision is so bad that I can not even see...'

'Wait no! it's not like I can't see, it's just that human is shining, does he even have a face?!!'

'No, it does not even look like a human, what in the name of Mother Night is that thing? Did humans already screw the sun with a hydra? What is that???'

'How did I even get here? ughhh'

The prideful tiger, who always thought it was the scariest hunter at night, met its match and started to reflect on its life.

It all started a few days ago when all of a sudden the forest got noisy. The area that most animals avoid due to its unpleasant and eerie surroundings suddenly became lively.

Of course, many animals still avoided the area, and the reason for that place getting noisy was these two humanoid creatures. They interacted with each other in a weird language that was not similar to the human language other humans tend to use.

Their way of living was twisted as they tended to like arson and destroying and cutting trees. At least it is all they did when they showed up there.

Numerous mysteries started to spread within the forest. 

One was about sunshine coming down on earth to burn some animals to ash.

Some ancient inscriptions started to appear on trees, Most ridiculous one was about the demonic rock that would devour any animal that prayed on its plants or surroundings.

Those ridiculous stories were laughable and unbelievable for the tiger. It thought that it was dumb to feel fear towards unbelievable stories and decided to investigate what was going on. It was angry that some fools dared to burn part of its territory. At night it went to investigate burned trees, but it could not find anything, So decided to cheer up by having a good hunt.

Strangely fortune smiled upon it, The tiger found many animals that were running wild at night, And they were going in its direction.

The proud tiger with its majestic fur had the best hunt in its entire life. It blended seamlessly into the darkness as it stealthily hunted its chosen prey. 

Many animals that were running to different locations, in hopes of finding a safe place, met their end without even realizing it.

The tiger appeared happy as if the cursed days were over. Yesterday, a humanoid creature had disturbed its hunt.

At first, it seemed like a sluggish and rough person who couldn't even hunt normally. But after some time, it turned into a killing machine that would slam and squash any animal, especially those horned rabbits.

Nevertheless, the tiger decided to go back to its den. As it walked, it happily sang a song of victory. Suddenly, a similar 'hunter' appeared from behind a tree, singing a victory song and feeling very proud of himself. 

The tiger who was full of pride did not even bat an eye and thought it was no threat to it, but after hearing weird mumbling barbaric noises it decided to take a look.

The tiger dropped its jaw and with it, its prey, it was dragging, making *damp* noise. It saw a caveman who was dragging some "deer" and herbs in his bag

"huh?"

It was a huge mistake for the tiger to drop its prey, the sound was enough to attract the attention of human who walked near it.

Intending to safeguard its food, the proud tiger chose to use the most effective defensive strategy in any genre, which was to attack first.

Before the Barbaric caveman could turn his head, the tiger was already at his neck, ready to bite.

*Roarrr!!!*

But the barbaric caveman was not so slow, he felt the presence of the tiger and chose to attack with the poor deer in his hand that he was dragging around with its neck.

"Bloody hell!! I almost got bitten by a... cat?" said the barbaric caveman, as he struggled to make sense of the situation. However, the tiger failed to understand his gibberish and decided to exert its weight on him instead. It grabbed the caveman's shoulders and applied pressure in an attempt to make him fall, but the plan ultimately failed.

The tiger was extremely confused. It knew that it was not easy to lift itself. The tiger was heavy enough to easily crush the deer that the human had hunted. Yet, it felt like the caveman was easily holding it and looking at it as if it were a playful cub.

The tiger felt insulted when the barbaric caveman laughed at it and tried to bite him with all the power it could muster. The barbarian pulled the tiger away but it didn't give up and bit the barbarian's hand. In response, the barbarian slammed the tiger's head with his fist out of annoyance.

Hit was so powerful that the only thing that it remembered before it lost consciousness was the barbarian's last words. 

"Ouch!! it hurts you little shit... I hope you are not venomous" - Said the so-called barbarian and took the tiger who was one step away from heaven's gate.

========================================

"So you are telling me that you wanted to investigate a forest that we burned and somehow stopped itself from burning? Are you dumb mate?" - Said Saba in what would be called a "Bri''ish" accent.

"Of course not, and what is with that way of talkin bruv? I only observed surroundings from far away, I ain't dumb enough to go there" - Said Sandro with a playful accent.

"Anyway what do we do with this black tiger?" - Asked Saba.

"Keep.... hmmm wait" - Sandro turned around poor "cat" to check it's gender. - "Yep let's keep her as a pet." - he concluded.

"Bruh this is not some house cat we are talking about, she is a goddamn tiger" - Saba argued.

"A cat is cat no matter its size" - Sandro shrugged his shoulders.

At this point, Saba didn't even know how to argue and just massaged his temples. - "Whatever man, just so you know you are responsible for feeding her"

"What? Why just me? Let's feed her from total food supply"

"Because you want the fukin pet not me and I'm not gonna hand out my food to her. This is not fukin charity" - Saba shot back with annoyed look.

"Okay fine, fine" - Sandro grumbled - 'I better train her to help me on hunts to make up my losses'

"Now mind telling me how the investigation go? And how did you find her?" - Saba asked while pointing his finger towards still dizzied tiger.
