The tiger slowly walked towards us, gave a big roar and was about to leap when a sherpa fired. Tiger fell down, there was a clear woman shreek of pain and a painful growl, he was about to fire again but the tiger jumped back with its injured leg and ran away
It pushed the main door and vanished in the dark, drops of blood laid on the floor. Wow thanks to the heavens, never had we thought we would encounter a tiger while asleep. I turned around to see if everyone is alright.I could see everyone of our group fine and well, i was releived. With few drops of water applied on faced Mr. Sen and Sweta regained consciousness.
" Where is the girl? ", Subonrno asked.I turned and could nowhere find her, where has she gone? Every one started searching for her, she was no where. Suddenly I saw drops of blood on the floor, that led to the open door, that was sure of the injured tiger's. I Started following it, I went outside, one by one everyone started following me. Outside it was dark, every one carried a lighted candle with them, with that i could see wet mud, and drops of blood and yes clear pugmark of tiger on the wet damp mud.
We started following the pugmark (footprint on mud) of the tiger to search for the girl in case she ran away but suddenly we stood stiff and utterly shocked. What we saw with our eyes doesn't fit to understand with human brain. The footprint and the blood of the tiger on the mud gradually converted to a human footprint with blood drops on the human footprint, gradually the footprint led to the stream and then disappeared. Yes yes now I remembered there was a woman shreek when the tiger was fired. " what does it mean? who was she?"
THANK YOU 😃
