Hi guys, I know its been a while... I've done some heavy work with the story. It used to be called 'Enter Tiger', but I've changed my OC to a wolf. I'm trying to stretch out the chapters a bit more, and overall just fix the story... Even I had started to dislike how my story was going, and that's not normally a good sign. Anyway, it follows the same plot, so if you read tit before, it won't be a surprise; or at least much of one. So, sorry about all the wait, I hope I can make it up to you somehow.
Prologue
"Akunn! Akunn!" She heard his voice again over the insane chaos outside her cell. Him, she thought bitterly. Her first thought had been confusion, wasn't he in Chorh-Gom, rotting? Now, she sauntered over the edge of her room, to the window. Normally, there were many guards walking in their formations about the prison. Now, there were very few that were mobile, let alone breathing.
The prison had turned into a slaughterhouse. Blood formed a river, flowing into the draining system. Now, the once honored and arrogant soldiers were nothing but fish darting from a shark.
"Akunn!" She heard him yell again. Akunn turned to see the snow leopard standing over two motionless corpses. Seeing my movement with his feline eyes, he sprinted off in her cell's direction. She made no attempt to conceal myself from him; he had seen her. He reach the barred window and looked in.
"Hello, foxy. How we hangin'?"
"Did you have to kill them all?" She shot back at him lowly.
"Hey now, is that anyway to treat your savior?" He aggressively volleyed.
"Savior?" She volleyed back. "The only thing you've done is get me into this prison."
"Yea, your savior. I even brought you a keepsake to commemorate the occasion. I'm getting you out." The leopard now held up a small necklace, made of some sort of amulate and a string.
"And I'm supposed to trust you since you come bearing gifts?"
"That was the plan. Now, you want O-U-T, out?"
What could he want this time? It seemed simple enough, he gets me out and I get a necklace? There must be something else, but it'll have to wait. "What can I say, I want out." She stepped back from the wall, and it immediately fell to the ground as rubble. He held out the gift as if to demand she wear it now. Akunn willingly obeyed his demand. "So I suppose I'll have to help you like I did before."
"No," He replied. "Just wanted to make sure my once-follower didn't rot in jail any longer." Tai Lung ran off with no other words, leaving Akunn among the carnage to find her own way out. Confused, she absent-absentmindedly tied the necklace to her neck. I suppose he didn't want me after all, she thought, watching as he disappeared over the prison wall.
She looked around at the scattered guards. It pained her to see so much hurt. Still, Akunn reminded herself, you are free! Run! Run! Immediately, she high-tailed out of her prison of twenty years, ready to again feel the forest floor beneath her paws.
One more thought passed before she brushed it aside. Had Tai Lung just cared for another person? Or was it just guilt?
