Dark clouds loomed ominously overhead, ready to burst at any second. The air was thick and sticky, like the world was holding its breath for a downpour.
A group of men huddled on the ground, hands shielding their heads, wishing they could just vanish into thin air. They were practically shaking in their boots!
"Please, have mercy on us! We were just following orders. We never wanted to do something so awful!"
"Yeah, we didn't even know she wanted us to kidnap you. We thought it was just supposed to be a little scare..."
"We'll do anything if you let us go."
As they cried and begged, they dared to sneak a glance upward. But the person who had them so terrified just stood there, saying nothing. Curiosity got the better of them, and they peeked.
There she was, not the scared girl they expected, but confidently perched on a tiger with striking gold and white stripes. The tiger, usually a symbol of raw power, seemed as tame as a house cat, not even letting out a growl.
If they hadn't seen the tiger's wild side earlier, they might have thought it was a figment of their imagination.
What was even more chilling was the sleek, black snake coiled around Fiona's arm, resting on her pale, cool skin, flicking its tongue as if waiting for a command.
Seeing these creatures, normally the stuff of nightmares, under the control of a teenage girl was a sight these men would never forget.
Fiona calmly stroked the snake, casting a withering look at the men, her expression dripping with contempt.
"Who sent you doesn't matter. I couldn't care less. But you've ticked me off, and for that, there's a price."
She followed up her words with a smile that was both sweet and menacing.
She hopped off the tiger, named Annie, looking down at the men from her new vantage point.
