daryl had been knocked down and was now holding his bleeding arm. he stared st the tiger, eyes wide and slightly horrified. he scrambled backwards, hesitating.

The tiger looked him over before spotting his injured arm. The tiger slowly approached him, sniffing at his arm. It shook its head before glancing at Daryl. It then slowly sat down, tilting its head as it watched Daryl

he stared at the tiger, pressed against a tree.

“Daryl?” Carl asked after a moment. The tiger swiveled her ear over to the direction of Carl. She then turned her head to him before getting to her paws. She then moved over to Carl. Carl froze, staring at her. She then pressed up against Carl, purring softly

daryl hesitated and slowly stood. “don’t turn your back on it.” he stated.

Carl nodded, watching her. He hesitated. “...H-Hey girl....” Carl murmured. The tiger flicked her ear before taking a few steps away from Carl. She let out a soft snuffle sound before moving over to the dead deer. She then crouched down a bit and started eating it.

he took carl by the arm and slowly started backing away towards where they were staying

[Leafwing12]

Carl blinked, backing away as well. The tiger blinked, looking up at them. She flicked her ear, straightening up a bit. She let out a soft chuffle and took a step towards them. Carl frowned. She didn’t seem too hostile towards them. She then started to approached them, but suddenly stopped and roared as her back leg suddenly gave out as a gunshot went off. It was obvious a bullet had punctured her back hip. She let out a pained noise, her eyes wide and ears pinned back.

Carl jumped, looking over and seeing Rick standing there, holding a gun to the tiger. “Both if you get back to the camp.” Rick said.

[dannychan]

his eyes widened. “carl, go!” he said and looked at rick. “i don’t think it was gonna hurt us.”

[Leafwing12]

Carl nodded, quickly sprinting off.

Rick watched as Carl ran off. Rick then glanced at Daryl. “It’s a wild tiger. You can’t be too sure.” He said. The tiger hissed at Rick, trying to slowly back away.
