Silver
By SupMario

Chapter 2

I opened me eyes and found myself in some kind of pit.  There were twigs
and leaves scattered about everywhere and my leg was throbbing painfully.
Suddenly the previous night's events came back to me.  I had fallen into
this pit last night.

I tried to get up but my leg was hurting pretty badly and I couldn't
stand.  I looked around me and realized I was pretty helpless unless
someone came looking for me.

I yelled for a while, hoping someone would hear me, but my throat got
hoarse and I quit after an hour or two.  Just then I heard what sounded
like a low growl from the top of the pit.  I couldn't see anything but
I thought I heard footsteps up there.

"Anybody there?  My legs hurt, and I can't get up.  Is that you Diane?"

I looked up and was face to face with ... a tiger? In Maine?

I must be going nuts.  Well it would explain the growling and the footsteps
that I had hea...A TIGER!?!  I did a double take as the great orange beast
jumped down into the pit gracefully landing at my feet.  I started backing
away towards the other end of the pit, but fear kept me immobile.

The beast slowly walked towards me, eyeing me strangely.  It was right in
front of my face, I couldn't breathe.  It raised a mighty paw near my head,
and everything went black.

The next thing I knew, I was lying in bed, someone was putting a damp cloth
on my forehead, making soothing sounds to me.  I figured it was Mom, and I
was about to tell her about the weird nightmare I'd just had when I opened
my eyes.  I was lying on the ground, on my back, and some strange lady
was sitting next to me, looking at me worridly.

I looked up at her.  She had long black hair that flowed down her
back and deep piercing green eyes.  She had a small petite figure that was
very well muscled.  She looked like an athlete.  Her breasts were smaller
than average, but looked wonderful nonetheless.  She was still looking at me
as if she was worried about me.

"I, uh..I," I started ut she quickly silenced me and pulled a small vial out
of a hidden pouch and put it to my lips.  "Drink," she quietly said.  I did,
and immediately my leg stopped hurting, and I felt wonderful!  I don't know
what that stuff was, but it had done its stuff.

I smiled at her, and thanked her, and was about to introduce myself when she
suddenly leaned forward and kissed me full on the lips.  Who was I to
protest if she wanted to kiss me, heck she'd just saved my life for all I
knew.  Our mouths locked together and we kissed deeply as she pressed her
body hard against mine, her arms encircling me, drawing me closer into her
embrace.

We kissed for what seemed like hours, and when we finally broke for air, she
laid her head down on my chest and seemed to simply enjoy being in my
embrace.  It was a rather nice feeling, holding her in my arms.  I heard a
funny sound coming from deep within her chest and realized she was purring!
I looked down at her and was shocked at what I saw, or rather what I hadn't
seen earlier.  She wasn't human.  That was for sure.  She seemed to be half
woman - half tiger!  Her face had a soft muzzle like a cats, her ears and nose
had feline overtones and she even had tiny whiskers.  She was still very
beautiful, the feline features being very striking on her feminine face.  The
eyes that had so enchanted me were the same, but were now closed as she leaned
onto me and purred happily.

I was beginning to think she had mistaken me for someone, because I surely
had never met her before and she was treating me like a long lost friend
or something.  Not that I minded, mind you.  It was then that the light bulb
flashed in my head and I realized that if she had gone from human to half
tiger, she must have been the tiger in the first place.  Well, this both
comforted and worried me.

She seemed to sense my change in moods and looked up at me questioningly.

"Uh, hi um, My name is Silver, Paul Silver.  Thanks for helping me and
everything, but... do I know you?"  I saw her look deeply into my eyes and
her eyes grew wide as she pulled away from me.

For the first time, she spoke.  "Silver?  You're not he... and yet you are!
How can that be?"  She looked me over and backed up and rose up before me,
her tail swishing nervously.

*****

She walked about the clearing thinking to herself, her tail swishing as she
went.  This is too much for me to figure out, she thought to herself.  But
who could she get ... Arianna!!  She'd know what to do.

Her mind made up, she knelt before the man and gave him a scroll, telling
him to use it once she left, then she quickly trasformed back into a tiger
and ran south as fast as she could.

*****

After she'd gave me this piece of paper, she turned into the tiger right in
front of me (an impressive sight) and ran away really swiftly.  I took a
look at the piece of parchment in my hands.  It had some strange writing
on it, but at the top, it simply read 'invoke me.'

So, being curious, I did.  I didn't see any obvious effects, and I didn't
feel any different.  Just then a small dragonfly buzzed by in front of me
and flew on by, not noticing me.  But wait a sec, that wasn't a dragonfly,
it looked like a tiny person with wings!!

Okay, get a grip.  I'm either going nuts or I'm in the twilight zone.  Either
one is good enough for now, I suppose.  I sat down and got a good look at
my surroundings for the first time since that tiger lady had woken my up.
I when in a dense forest just like the one I'd gotten lost in near my new
home at Uncle Jack's place.

And then I saw the lake.  It looked just like the lake I had been circling
last night when I fell into that pit.  Hmmm.  It looked different though.
The lake was a lot clearer, for one thing.  The water was almost crystal
clear, I could see all the way to the bottom with all the sun shining down
overhead.  I looked around some more and noticed a small creature staring
at me from a low tree branch where it perched, watching me.

The best way I can describe the thing is that it looked like a little dragon.
It was about the size of a house cat, but it had an incredibly long tail
that ended in a little stinger or something.  It had the teeth, the snout,
the wings, reptilian body, it looked like a cat-sized dragon!

It looked like it was studying me as closely as I was studying it.  Right
then, I saw the tiger reappear with a girl on her back.  Weird, riding a
tiger.  The girl looked glum as they rode into the clearing.  The girl
got off the tiger and looked around.  The tiger stood up as she turned back
into her half-tiger form.  I noticed that the tiger's white belly turned
into the small white gown that the tiger lady wore.  She turned to the girl
and spoke.

"Thanks for coming Arianna.  I found something you need to see.  I can't
figure it out.  I was hoping you'd be able to help."  She turned towards me
and walked over to me, and spoke something strange to me and suddenly the
girl behind her gasped when she saw me.  She ran over to me and hugged me
tightly, tears coming to her face.

Here we go again.

I got a good look at the girl crying in my arms.  She was about 5'2", had
honey blonde hair, her ears were pointed, she was incredibly beautiful, and
she was crying in my arms.  Just holding her in my arms was really wonderful,
but guilt kept from enjoying it too long.  I mean, whoever she was, she had
me mistaken for somebody else just like tiger lady had.

Speaking of which, she came up behind us and tapped Arianna on the shoulder.
Arianna looked back at her than up at me and she suddenly recoiled in shock.
"Y..y..your not Silver!"  She had a very high pitched voice, that was very
pretty.  She looked back at the tigriss.  "Raven, whats going on?"

Raven strode forward, picked up my left hand and turned it over to show
my palm to the bewildered Arianna.  She pointed out my birthmark to the
troubled elf.  Yes, even I could tell she was an elf.  I mean heck, if
there are half-woman-half-tigers roaming around, why not elves too?

The birthmark on my left palm had always been an enigma with me and
my family, but it really wasn't that big a deal, its just a dark little
diamond shape near my thumb, on the palm of my left hand.  But Arianna
was looking at it entently, seemingly fascinated.

At last she looked up at me, and I blinked.  Suddenly I was sitting under a
big tree and I fealt extremely tired.  I could hear Arianna and Raven talking
quietly somewhere near me.

"... parallel worlds!  Its fascinating.  So it IS him, just him from a
parallel universe.  Wow, we've got to get him to Grevlok.  He'll know what
to do."

"..need to mate, Arianna.  You and I both know I'm overdue, and it IS him..."

I caught several fragments of their conversation, but my sudden fatigue kept
me from really understanding what I was hearing.  I must have fell asleep,
because the next thing I knew, Raven was gently shaking me, telling me to
wake up.  I sat up and she was kneeling on the ground next to me, except
now she was naked.  Boy, was she naked.

I must have sat there staring at her breasts with a really stupid grin on
my face for god kows how long, but I had never seen a girl nude before, at
least in person, and I was in awe.  She moved over me, until she was sitting
in my lap, facing me.  She was in her 'girl' form again and she looked right
into my eyes.

"Paul?" 

"Yeah?"

"I'm in my mating cycle.  I've been waiting for months and now that you've
shown up, well, would you mind terribly?"  She looked hopefully at me.

Here I was, god knows where, with a relative stranger _begging_ to have sex
with me.  This lovely, mysterious creature was the sexiest thing I'd ever
imagined.  I shook my head and she proceeded to strip me in less time than
it takes to tell about it, and she was backed up a little until her mound
hovered over my erection and she slowly impailed herself upon it.  I moaned
as the sensations washed over me, Raven riding up and down my shaft
rythmically, lost in her own world of pleasure.

She leaned forward and a fur covered breast came into my vision.  I locked
onto the nipple and began sucking eagerly as she moaned in pleasure.  I
don't know how long this went on, but soon I felt my balls tightening and
I knew my release was coming whether I wanted it or not.  Raven was lost
in exstacy as wave after wave of pleasure assaulted her lust-crazed body.

I grabbed her hips and pulled her down hard onto me as I erupted into her,
filling her belly with my seed, sending me over the edge with insane
pleasure.  She never missed a beat and kept moving up and down on my manhood
sending me over the edge several times as we rutted together for several
hours.

It soon donned on me that she was pretty much oblivious to anything I did
on my end.  She was there simply for the act itself.  For whatever reason,
she simply had to have sex.  I didn't wonder about it too much, though.  Not
in the state I was in at the time.

We slowly came back to our senses and she lowered herself on top of me,
purring contentedly as she dozed off.  I lay there, with this beautiful
creature sleeping in my arms, purring no less, and I wondered just who
this 'other me' was and what had happened to him.  I recalled what I had
heard her and Arianna talking about and I wondered how I could get home.
I mean sure, it was great visiting lala-land or where ever I was, but I
wanted to get home eventually.

Of course, if every girl here wanted to cry in my arms and then screw my
brains out...  Then I wondered if Raven would get pregnant and have my ...
uh, kittens?  I chuckled quietly to myself at the thought and went to sleep,
still holding Raven in my arms.
