KNOCK! KNOCK!

Was what I heard from the living room as my eyes slowly opened. "ugh.... Give me a second!" I half shouted half mumbled as I sat up and swung my feet over the side of the bed. Bleary eyed I stood, still shirtless but having my pants on still, and walked out to the front door.

Yawning I stretched out for a second, before unlatching the door and opening it.

I was half asleep when I opened the door, but once I saw what was on the other side. I was wide awake, my eyes shot open and my jaw fell open, because standing in front of me, was something that had only existed in some of my wildest dreams. A Tiger, holy fucking Adam West era Batman, there is a tiger standing in front of me.... wait standing.... Tigers don't stand..... and with that thought my Brain decided that was enough crazy for one day as I blacked out.

~~~~~~~~~

I had knocked on the door and was a bit startled at the response I had gotten. "Guess i woke the person up, hope that doesn't cloud their judgement." I muttered, the last bit a little sarcastically to myself with a low laugh, soon the door creaked open fully revealing by my guess a rather young adult human. second thing I took notice of was the fact he wasn't wearing a shirt, and he shivered slightly as the cold mountain air blew into the warm cabin.

watching his eyes widen to the size of dinner plates and hi jaw drop before sudden his eyes rolled back in his head and crumpled to the ground. moving forward I grabbed him by his shoulders before he hit the ground. "Jeez this guy is heavier than he looks." I muttered struggling slightly under his weight.

gently setting him against an interior wall I went and shut the door latching it against the oncoming storm. With a soft sigh I turned around and looked over the cabin appraising its condition and accommodations the building had. 'hmm kitchen, living room, bedroom, only one bed though, bathroom' I thought to myself as i wandered around the place looking at anything that peaked my interest.

Digging through the fridge resulted in me pulling out a can of something to drink when I heard a groan coming from where I had left the man by the door followed by what i assumed was a mixed southern accent, at least that's what little T.V. i had watched lead me to believe it was, spoke up. "Christ i have must have been pretty damned tired falling asleep by the door, and man that was one hell of a dream. A tigress that stood on two legs. makes me think someone slipped me some acid or something on that flight"

~~~~~~~~~~

I heard the sound of a can cracking open and looked up just in time to see the tigress from what I thought was dream walk around the corner of the couch, holding a can of soda in her hand... paw... whatever. " So I'm just a dream then?" she asked leaning against the back of the couch looking down at me. My jaw dropped yet again as I started at the near nude athro leaning on my couch.

My ability to speak came back a few seconds later when I uttered the simple phrases. "What in the holy living fuck?! There is a fucking tigress standing in front of me, an anthro one at that! Fucking christ who the hell slipped me a tab of fucking acid on that flight? I'll fucking gut them like a damned trout with a shoelace. then ..." My tirade must have been a tad loud for her as i watched her ears fold back along the top of her head.

Shaking her head she did something that absolutely shocked me, she started laughing, it started as a giggle before building to full on laughter. "Oh dear that was funny." She said as she recovered from her giggle fit a big smile plastered across her muzzle that she brought a free hand up to cover, "I can assure you you're not dreaming. and I am infact a real tigress standing here in front of you." she stood up setting her pilfered drink down and offered me a hand. I looked at the furred appendage with a bit of apprehension before taking it having her help me to my feet.

"Um... thanks I guess, so I'm not really dreaming then, am I?" I asked as I sat back down on the couch her following me ands sitting on the loveseat across the coffee table from me.

"Nope I'm as real as the couch you're sitting on."

"Well damn that makes explaining you a lot more difficult than a LSD trip." i sighed raising my gaze to look up at her seeing her shift in her seat with a wince of pain. "Hey you okay?"

~~~~~~~~~~

I looked up at his question after placing a hand over the cut i had taken from the fall. I shook my head in response and turned brushing aside the fur on my side showing him the cut i had sustained from the fall. "I kinda fell off a cliff earlier and cut myself on the way down. you wouldn't happen to have first aid training would you?"

to my surprise his immediate response was to jump up from the couch and rush over to the bedroom and the muttered cursing was heard as what i assumed and later confirmed was a pair of his underwear came flying out of the bedroom door, then he emerged clutching a decent sized first aid kit. "Well that was fast." I said as he moved and stood beside the couch i was sitting on.

He smiled a bit at that sitting down on the arm of the couch, "I was in boy scouts for the longest time, one of the things I retained was always carry a first aid kit no matter where you're going. lay on your side so I can get a good look at that cut, I promise I won't try anything funny." he smiled reassuringly at that and i nodded before doing as he asked.

"Alright you seem like the kind of guy I can trust. I'm Bella by the way." I said rolling onto my side as I felt him start digging in the wound with something pulling out bits of rock and debris that were in it.

"Cody; This is gonna burn a bit but i need to clean the wound, try not to bite off your own tongue."

"What is that supposed to meeeaan....!" my sentence was cut off as sharp burning pain erupted from my side eliciting a loud hiss of pain to escape me. my fingers dug into the couch cushions claws extending and sinking in. "Sweet jesus on high what the fucking hell was that?!"

looking back over my shoulder I glared daggers at Cody before he could start laughing like I was pretty sure he was going to. To my disdain he did let out a chuckle, "Oh just some rubbing alcohol. helps clean out the wound. now hold still while I bandage this, I'm gonna have to trim the fur around it for the bandage to stick. So hold still for about two minutes, kay?"

I only grunted in acknowledgement turning my head back and letting him get back to work. Time passed slowly as i listened to the snip snip snip of Cody using the scissors. my thoughts started drifting towards the future once I figured out what i was going to do once this storm cleared. 'Should I see if I can stay here with Cody, or should I jump ship as soon as possible? I really don't want to feel like an annoyance but considering i'm probably the only one of my kind. It would be nice to have a place where I'm respected and not fared or shunned. Ah fuckballs I'm staying.'

I felt Cody press a bandage against the wound, Before he started packing back up the first aid kit, "there all done, now was that so bad?" He asked grinning. a little grin. My response was to smack him with the pillow i had my head on.

"shoulda seen that one coming..." He muttered to himself as he sat back on the couch while I sat up giggling a little to myself.

"Hey Cody?"

"Yeah what's up Bella?"

"You think I could crash here for the night? theres a storm blowing in, pretty bad one by the looks of it."

He stood up from the couch and walked to one of the nearby windows in the log walls of the house. Pulling the curtain back we were greeted with a pure white wall coming down outside. Letting a low whistle he turned looking to me and nodded walking off to the bedroom, leaving me there to putter about the room till he came out a few minutes later with a rather heavy blanket. "here figured you would need it incase the fire burns out in the night"

A small smile crossed my lips as I nodded in thanks taking the blanket from him and setting it beside the couch. "Thanks."

I saw a ghost of a smile cross his face as he nodded heading back for the bedroom, "i'm going to bed the flight here has me jet lagged all to hell, kitchens over there if you're hungry, but i think you already figured that out."

Watching him walk out drew a sigh from me. Stretching across the couch that as to serve as my bed for the night. still a little weary from the fall earlier i figured it be good to catch some shut eye my self, unfolding the blanket it covered myself snuggling into the soft cushions of the couch I let my mind drift off as the events of the day caught up with me....
