I woke up to the sound of an alarm signalling that it was time for me to get up, and then the lights flickered on shortly after.

I got dressed in one of my many long, white silky dresses that came down to my mid thigh and plaited my long auburn hair down my back.

Soon after I finished I heard the clunk of my solid steal door unlocking which was followed by it swinging wide open.

In the door way now stood one of Dr Malcom's guards that would escort me to his laboratory.

—————————————————————

The walk from my lonely white cell to the special cage like one on the opposite side of the building, was one of silence, as the only thing that could be heard was the soft tapping of our footsteps as we walked down the never ending corridor.

We turned corners so many times you would of thought you were going in never ending circles.

But finally we arrived at the animal enclosure like room.

I had only been inside it a few times in my life so I still didn't completely know what to expect but still I walked up to the two scary looking guards that stood in-front of another metal door.

One gave me a slight nod as he unlocked the door and opened it to revel yet another pair of white walls but the only differences was that these walls were stained in blood.

They still haven't cleaned it from when I was in here last.

////////////////////////////////////////////

It was about 2 years ago, when I was barely 14 years old, walking down that same corridor, taking those same turns and walking up to that same guard.

That day I remember feeling terrified. I was dreading what would happen this time.

I remember being chained to the floor by the ankle and a screeching sound as a metal gate opened to revel a scary looking dog that just prowled its way inside growling profusely.

I was supposed to talk to it and get it to allow me to touch it so I could mimic its form but I still couldn't get it to work, so instead I was clawed, bitten, scrammed and torn into, my blood staining the walls as my screams drowned out the sound of growling.

I spent 2 weeks in the infirmary before I could go back to my room and because of my powers I was able to speed up my healing process.

////////////////////////////////////////////

I was shoved inside and attached to the chain in the middle of the room and then the door slammed shut behind me, the familiar sound of a door locking reached my ears.

I took a good look round, remembering everything that took place in this very room. I was just grateful it happened every 2 years and not more often.

Frankly I was scared, scared of what would happen if I failed once again but also scared of what would happen if I succeeded.

Would I be tested on more frequently?

Would I be able to control it?

Will it hurt?

All these questions ran through my head as I stared at the blood ridden walls.

" Welcome back Subject 865! "

A voice announced from the speaker in the top left hand corner of the room.

I said nothing as I heard the voice start to speak once more.

" Today we are going to try something slightly different. "

The sound of the speaker reached my ears and a pit appeared in my stomach.

" instead of using a dog, we will use something that will hopefully encourage you a little more..."

And with that I knew I was doomed, but my thoughts were cut short be the familiar sound of screeching as the gate ripped itself from the wall.

I was frozen in fear. I heard hissing, then bit by bit I could see a figure prowl out the shadows from behind where the gate once was.

Big paws. Powerful legs. Wide chest. Strong neck. Menacing face.

It's black and orange stripes made me feel weak at the knees.

It was... a tiger

I locked eyes with the beautiful yet dangerous beast and sucked in a sharp breath.
