The Blue-Eyed White Tiger

 ~ I've been having a recurring dream lately, that I'm being chased and hunted by a Tiger with blue eyes. ~

About 100 yards away, I saw these bright blue eyes from the tiger staring at me from a distance. Often times in the dream, I wondered why didn't the tiger just attack me since she was obviously bigger and stronger. I could tell it was a female tiger because it was guarding a den, but she never went into the den, and I never heard or saw any signs that she had any cubs.

In the dream, I had kept a diary that recorded my experiences with the tiger. It seems that me and a couple of friends had went camping in the woods, when someone in the group came upon the den of tiger cubs while the mother must've been out hunting for food. My friends told me that they were playing around with the cubs, and when one of the cubs playfully bit him... he threw the cub against the wall and killed it. I'm assuming it was by accident of course, but the mother obviously was very distraught and wanted revenge for the killing of her baby cub. When my friends arrived back to the camp, they were bloody and terrified, and wanted to go home for medical attention. As we were walking out of the valley, the mother tiger came out of the brushes and killed everyone except me. I sensed that she didn't smell my scent in the cave so left me to live... for the moment.

As I went back to the camp, I took stock of the moment and the events that had transpired. I questioned how I had ended up in the position that I was in, and I wondered when I got back home what I would tell the parents of my friends who were killed. Unfortunately, every time that I tried to leave the valley, I would see the Tiger looking at me with an intensity that shook me to my very core. Her eyes, were blue and filled with hate... and she motioned to me in a very primal way that if I wanted to leave the valley... I'd have to fight her in order to do so. She would roar at me, and even snarl at me... but she never came directly to attack me. I'd like to think that it was possible she was looking for a reason to live, or maybe she simply wanted to kill me in a honorable manner.


I don't want to die, but I don't also want to kill the tiger in order to survive. This Blue-Eyed White Tiger... this grieving and enraged mother... what were her plans for me???

Or should I assume she wanted something other than violence?
