Not The Only One
Interruptions
It was late, and China was quiet and tranquil, and that's the way Tigress liked it. She sat upon the large white cushion situated in the corner of her hut. Incense burned in the pot beside her, filling the room with the scent of lavender. She breathed in deeply and smiled to herself.
"Peace, at last" she whispered, crossing her legs and placing her up right palms upon them. She focused on her centre and soon found herself in a land of quiet and peace. She inhaled the smoke of the incense and sighed with relief. A clatter of pots and pans came from the kitchen, forcing Tigress to be parted from her trance, her ears pricked up and she growled. "Po" she said angrily. She stood and clenched her fists, making her knuckles crack, she walked towards the door of her hut and slid it open. The cool air hit her and she shivered at the sudden cold. She stepped out onto the soft white snow; she trudged to the opposite side of the courtyard and started to climb the steps of the palace. She gripped the large wooden door and swung it open quietly; she stepped inside and closed the door behind herself. It was dark, but thanks to her feline senses, she could see perfectly. She quickly made her way through the halls and corridors, without making any noise. She stopped when she reached a corridor with light emerging from one of the doors. She grinned to herself as she began her silent approach to the open doors. She walked in and looked at the floor to see pots and pans everywhere. "Po, what did I tell you about stealing Monkey's cooki..." she trailed off when she saw it was not Po that was invading the peace, but a masked figure standing in front of her. Tigress stared in horror at the black figure turned and tilted his head at her.
"Hello" He said in a calm and smooth voice. Tigress broke into fighting stance and growled.
"Who are you and what are you doing here" she asked menacingly. The figure just stood there unafraid.
"Calm down, my dear, I am not here to fight" he said. This made Tigress even angrier.
"Answer me" she roared. The masked figure chuckled.
"Excuse my manners, I am Wolf" he said as he bowed. Tigress eyed him suspiciously.
"What are you doing here?" Wolf held up a small leather satchel and shook it.
"I'm here to take back what is mine" he said with a small hint of anger in his voice. Tigress leapt forward, claws bared, but Wolf dodged and her and jabbed her in the ribs, she fell to the floor, unable to move. She lay there eyes wide and shocked.
"How...did...you...do...that" she groaned in pain. Wolf knelt down next to her.
"I've had a bit of training" he said, pulling out a small syringe full of green liquid from the satchel. Tigress spotted this and began to panic.
"So...you're...going...to...kill...me...now" she said slowly. Wolf smiled beneath his mask.
"Kill you, dear God no, this is just something to help you with the pain" he said. He slid the needle into her neck and slowly pushed the plunger down; he pulled out the syringe and put it back in his satchel. He stroked Tigress' head comfortingly. She didn't know why but Tigress started to purr. Wolf sighed lightly as he kissed Tigress' cheek. He stood and jumped, grabbing the ledge of a window; he looked down at the sleeping Tigress. "I'll be seeing you, my dear" he said in a quiet voice, he vaulted through the open window, landing on the on the snow. He breathed in the fresh air, then ran down the Jade Palace steps towards the village.
