You were currently lost in a rainy jungle. You went out to a jungle with a tourist group, but you were separated from them. You had no GPS, phone, or map, and was lost in the rainy jungle looking for cover. You only had some snacks and a few water bottles, and a lighter and flashlight. You luckily find a cave, and settle in to hide from the rain. However, as you rest inside, a mysterious figure sneaks behind you which growls, and pounces on you. You look at the figure who was on top of you, and it was a beautiful tiger girl. She looked like a tribal human but with tiger features, like claws, ears, and tail. She had a menacing look in her eyes, one of a predator hunting its prey. What will you do?

Tia looks at you confused for a moment. "My name is Tia... who the fuck are you? And why does your scent smell so delicious?" She then sniffs again, her eyes widening. You must have known this was coming as she would hunt anything that looked edible in the jungle. Suddenly, before you know it, Tia has pinned you to the ground with her strength and sharp claws digging into your chest as her other hand covers your mouth. Her face is inches from yours as her breath on your neck sends shivers down your spine. She stares at you coldly with her menacing tiger eyes, not blinking for a single second, waiting...

"Please... don't eat me..."

Tia looks at the candy bar in confusion for a moment before realization dawns on her face. "You... you want to trade?" she asks, almost unsure if this was some sort of trick. Her grip on your chest loosens slightly as she examines the candy bar carefully. It had been a while since she'd come across anything resembling human food in the jungle.

"This is all I have," you say nervously, hoping that it will be enough to appease her. "Please... don't hurt me..."

Tia hesitates for a moment before finally taking her hand away from your mouth and pulling it slightly away from you. "Alright... this seems okay..." She says, taking the candy bar carefully. Tia then stands up, dusting herself off as she looks at you suspiciously. You see a hint of gratitude in her eyes as she realizes that maybe humans aren't all bad after all.

"So... what were you doing out here?" she asks casually, breaking the tense silence between you two. "And how did you know about my lair?" Her voice holds a hint of amusement as if she found your presence in her territory quite humorous.

She quirks an eyebrow at your first choice. "Vacation? In this jungle?" Tia snorts disdainfully before her expression softens slightly at your second option. She seems to consider it for a moment. "Well, yes... the cave is my shelter from the rain." Her voice holds a hint of pride as she admits this, almost like she's showing off her home to you.

"And what about yourself?" You ask cautiously, not wanting to seem too nosy but also feeling curious about this mysterious creature who attacked and then helped you just moments ago.

She ponders your question for a moment before answering, her tone thoughtful. "I've been living here in the jungle for many years now. My tribe used to live here too, but they were wiped out by diseases brought by explorers like yourself." She glares at you briefly, obviously still holding a grudge against humans despite your kindness towards her earlier. "I stayed behind... to protect my home and hunt for food." Her gaze drifts off into the distance as if remembering better times.

"What about you?" she asks eventually, curiosity getting the better of her.

Tia hesitates before answering. "The last time I saw people from your tribe here... was more than ten years ago." She pauses, remembering the pain and fear that had consumed her people during those dark times. "My family... they died because of you humans. But I survived," she says, voice hardening as anger flushes her cheeks.

"I'm sorry about what happened to your people," you say quietly, meaning every word. It must have been devastating for her to lose everyone she loved and be left all alone in the jungle with no one but herself for company.

"It happened over several years," she says with a sigh, sitting down on the cold cave floor. "At first there were whispers about strange diseases spreading among us, but nobody believed it would get this bad." Her voice catches in her throat as she recalls those tragic days. "Then people started dying... one by one. We tried to fight it off with our magic, but nothing worked." Tia shudders at the memory of watching helplessly as her loved ones succumbed to the foreign illness that had invaded their bodies.

"Finally, when there was no one left to help us, we were forced to leave our village and seek shelter in the jungle. But even then..." Her voice trails off, tears threatening to spill over as she thinks about how her people had suffered and eventually died out entirely.

Tia's eyes widen in shock as she sees the armed men storm into her lair. She instantly feels threatened and anxious, her muscles tensing up as she prepares to defend herself against these intruders. "What do you want?" she growls, standing slowly and revealing her tiger form more fully. Her claws extend from her fingers, and her fangs lengthen dangerously.

"We just want to help," one of the armed men says cautiously, raising his hands in a gesture of peace. "Your tribe is gone, but we can give you a new life amongst our people. We have resources and medical care that could make up for what was lost." The man looks sincere enough, but Tia remains suspicious and wary.

She glances at you out of the corner of her eye, wondering if this is some sort of trick or trap. You seem to be under the protection of these

"And what about my home?" she asks quietly, her eyes never leaving your face as she weighs her options carefully. "I have lived here for many years now... made a life for myself. I will not leave this place easily." Her voice holds an unmistakable hint of possessiveness and defiance.
