Chapter 37: Tiger hunt

It was now the next day and no tiger was in sight. Kim had fallen asleep on Lou's shoulder while she was smoking.

'Looks like I will have to move on.' Lou was disappointed that she had lost her target, but there wasn't much she could do and if anything she just had to go find another one.

'Once Kim wakes up we will start moving.' Lou looked at Kim's peaceful sleeping face and Lou couldn't help herself and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

The sun was getting close to being in their face, so it would not be long until Kim woke due to the sunlight.

Another hour had passed and Lou was about to take off her pistol on her heels until she spotted movement at the cave.

"Oh?" Lou stood up and grabbed Kim's sniper, using the scope to get a better look at the entrance. Fortunately it was the tiger and the excitement Lou lost had come flowing back.

"Kim!" Lou lightly shook Kim to get her to wake up. Kim slowly opened her eyes and looked around to get her bearings.

"What's up Lou?" Kim stood up and stretched herself out like a cat.

"The tiger has arrived." Lou smiled while looking back down the scope.

"Damn." Kim was hoping that it would not have come back, but it seemed that the world wanted their fight to happen.

"We have no time, let's get a move on before we lose it." Lou already grabbed her things and was approaching the ladder down.

Kim sighed, picking up her things as well, and followed Lou down the ladder.

"Heh." Lou looked up having a perfect view and all Kim could do was blush since she knew exactly what she was doing.

Continuing to make their way down the building Lou and Kim made it onto the road. Spotting the tiger taking a turn on their left Lou and Kim began to follow it once again.

"Alright Kim, I will fight this one alone, I do not want you interfering no matter what." Lou did not want to draw attention due to Kim's sniper being rather loud.

"But."

"Ah, no buts on this one. I will call your name or back off if I can't handle it, so trust me like always." Lou put her finger over Kim's mouth before she could finish her sentence. Kim bit her lip as it was extremely dangerous to fight alone.

"Alright let's be quick now and make sure you are always a safe distance away." Lou gave another kiss on Kim's forehead before running off to chase the tiger.

'This damn idiot, she is too smooth.' Kim was once again at Lou's mercy and no matter what Kim did, Lou always found a way to turn it around.

Kim quickly ran to follow Lou and once again was left to carry all their things.

<Lou POV>

Catching up with the tiger Lou climbed onto one of the side buildings so she could jump onto the tiger.

Looking over the edge the tiger seemed to be wandering around with no objective making it easier to catch up to it. The tiger would often look around sniffing out buildings for any survivors.

Lou stretched out her legs before jumping off the 5 story building which the mutant was about half the size of.

"Alright let's play." Lou smiled and pushed herself off the roof directly in the direction of the tiger. Aiming her feet for its head, the tiger was distracted looking into a building to notice her.

Lou's feet went straight into the skull of the tiger and she fired from her heel pistols. The tiger flung its head back and Lou was launched off. The tigers head and insides were lit on fire but were quickly extinguished due to the slime suffocating the flames.

Lou landed on the back of the tiger and not stopping her assault began to run up its back while firing all four of her pistols. Holes were created through the body of the tiger leaving seering marks in the body. This time Lou did not use her usual flame bullets that would set a mutant on fire, but an extremely hot bullet that would essentially melt through the body.

However this took a lot more essence as the damage it caused was a lot more significant. The tiger getting agitated swung its body into the building, but Lou managed to jump off before it hit the wall.

The building it threw itself into was destroyed and almost crushed the tiger along with it

Lou elegantly landed on the ground and reloaded her berettas.

"ROARRRRR!" The tiger shook off the rubble on its body and roared loudly to show its anger.

"Tsk." Lou did not like this as it would attract a bunch of mutants to their location.

"KIMMM! Keep the mutants off me while I take on the big guy." Lou screamed out Kim's name and yelled what she wanted Kim to do.

The tiger growled at Lou and pounced at her with its claws intending to grab her. Lou got on top of a car and jumped off it to dodge the tiger's claws. While in the air she shot directly into the face of the mutant hitting one of its eyes. The tiger crushed the car with its paw and because its eye was shot out, the tiger slid across the road towards a building.

Lou had barely jumped high enough to get on top of the mutant and be able to jump away from it before it crashed into the building behind her.

The tiger got up from the ground and getting a bit desperate to kill Lou, it dragged its face across the ground with its mouth open.

Lou fired into its mouth as it approached while running back to avoid the bite. The fire was able to melt its mouth from biting her and she managed to get out of the way.

'This is looking good so far.' Lou wiped the sweat off her forehead and was glad that the giant mutant hadn't been a hassle so far.

'I have to say I really have to push myself in dodging these big attacks.' Lou found herself having to put all her effort in moving when dodging as the range of the attacks is much larger.

'I think I will go for a run.' Lou wanted to use the building to her advantage and run along the rooftops making it harder for the tiger to approach.

*BOOM*

Kim had fired a shot off in the distance seemingly at a horde of mutants that were approaching the area.

Lou looked in the direction of where Kim's bullet landed and noticed almost a wave of mutants approaching.

'Shit looks like I have to go to the roof anyway.' Lou did not like the amount that was approaching and would rather be on the roof than deal with the oncoming horde.

The tiger shook its head getting rid of the fire in its mouth and Lou noticed a detail about the mutant.

'Did it get smaller?' The tiger that had taken quite a bit of damage seemingly had shrunk in size.

'Oh I see it must be because I burnt away its body, so It's shrinking to compensate for the damage.' She figured that this was the case, but it also meant the tiger would be getting faster.

'No time to think I need to get up on the roof.' Lou turned to an alley and entered it.

Spotting a metal ladder that led to a staircase Lou got to climbing. However the giant tiger chased her, but thanks to it not quite being small enough its head got stuck in between the buildings.

"Haha!" Lou couldn't help laughing as the tiger vigorously shook its head trying to squeeze through the gap.

Lou managed to get up onto the roof and was about to begin running until the tiger managed to jump right in front of her.

"Oh fuck off, your meant to be stuck." Lou thought she would have had more time to get a head start, but the tiger had already got out of the alley and jumped on the roof.

The tiger's eye glowed brightly and was getting more aggravated.

"Oh come on don't look at me like that, I was just playing with you, no need to look so angry." Lou smirked and even though the mutant most likely couldn't understand her, it was still fun to tease the mutant.

The tiger finally made a move, but this time it was insanely fast and Lou had no time to react.

The tiger got behind her and as she turned the tiger backhand swiped Lou launching her across the roof.

"GAH!" Lou crashed into an air conditioning unit and coughed up a bunch of blood.

"Bloody hell, didn't know it had fucking super speed." Lou pulled herself out of the metal and felt the injury on her shoulder was in pain again.

Lou checked her body for any scratches or marks that could have infected her but was glad to see nothing of the sorts.

'Good thing it used the back of its paw instead of scratching me.' Lou cracked her back and looked back at the tiger that was approaching her again.

'Looks like I will have to run and try to use the environment to my advantage.' Lou couldn't stand still as it looked like something that the tiger could not constantly use so by moving it would create less of a chance of it using its hyper speed again.

Turning to run, she fired backwards as well as in the air to signify where she was.

'Let's hope Kim saw that.' Lou wasn't sure if Kim was able to see where she was but hoped her makeshift bullet flares were enough.

The tiger dodged Lou's bullets and began to chase after her, destroying anything that was on the roof.

Lou looked ahead and was glad to see a consistent strip of buildings meaning she had plenty of time to take out the tiger while she ran.

'Now let's see how long this tiger can last.' Lou planned to whittle down the tiger as she ran until it could barely fight anymore.

<Kim POV>

'Okay Lou looks like she is on the roof, I should try to catch up before I get left behind.' Kim saw the yellow essence bullets fly into the sky and interpreted it as a signal on where Lou was since Kim lost sight of her.

'Good thing we are on the same strip of buildings, because that horde is coming in fast.' Kim looked over the edge of the building and spotted the horde rushing down the street.

Kim picked up her things and began to run towards where Lou was in hopes that she was okay and wasn't severely injured.
