“Goodnight.” He winked at me in his victory, turned over on his side and flipped off the lamp. “It was just a dream! And you’re just scared of sirens! Now give it back and go back to sleep.” He reached out his long arms and grabbed for the pillow, catching its corner and swiftly releasing it from my hands. “Wake them up over a dream you had?” He rolled his eyes at me. They’ll want to know about the tigers.” I stubbornly held his pillow to my chest. “I’m not giving it back until you go talk to Mama and Daddy with me. Go back to bed.” And with that, he fell back into bed and resumed his previous position. It’s probably just a policeman chasing a speeder. “Tigers? You mean those big, ferocious beasts that live in the jungle?” Jack snorted. “The tigers! I saw them running past the house just minutes ago. “Saw who?” he questioned me, getting up from his bed and looking out the porch screen to the street beyond. Jack sat up abruptly, flipping on the lamp, his eyes wide, as if his senses were suddenly aware of the sirens blaring around them. “Don’t you hear the sirens?” I pulled the pillow away from him and whispered excitedly in his ear. “Hmph.” He grunted and turned over, putting his pillow over his head. “Wake up!” Beside me, my brother groaned and stirred from his sleep. The wind moving steadily through the trees. Still hearing the sounds of leaves rustling And he knew it was up to him to find a way back to his world, a way back home. The boy could only stand and stare in disbelief. You are one of us now you are part of the Kingdom, forever.” She stepped toward him, and he enfolded her into his coat of fur, her slim figure lost within his great one. “We have given it to you to keep, to guide and protect you. “Yes, you have the light with you always.” The beast nodded, opening his paws toward her. And I will not carry a piece of violence. “I will not have you with me, because it would only endanger you. This was not the voice of the girl he knew, the girl from his world. “I shall go wherever you bid me.” Her voice rang out like crystal into the darkness, clear and also wispy, like the qualities of air and water mixed to create a fine tapestry of sky. The girl shivered at the violence of it and shrank back into the shadows. I’m going with her, try and stop me!” He lunged forward at the beast, going for the knife-but the beast moved, and he swiped only air. And she must have help, she can’t go alone. “She will have no power against the spirits!” He spoke passionately. “She has the power to fight within.” He took the blade from her, and he could see streaks of fire within the tiger’s icy blue eyes as he held the weapon up to them. His sharp blue eyes pierced the boys with their power. “She does not need this weapon of man,” the beast said with a voice that was smooth like silk. The great white beast at her side lifted his paw to her fingers. She turned the hilt around clumsily in her delicate hands. “You will need this.” The boy reached out to the girl, handing her a knife.
