Whoa! Thank you everyone! I'll try to update once a week. My exams have started and will end on 16 June. So yeah, hehe, anyway From then onwards updates will be regular. The answer to most of your question whether tigress's gonna be a monster will ruin the plot so patients:)
Once again thank you! You guys are awesome!
Chapter 2
She woke up panting, Taking deep breaths. The dream had made her palpitate with fear, and minutes passed before She stopped shaking.
It was quite disturbing, and more disturbing was the fact that she saw it all through the eyes of the one who killed. It was the fifth time, that she had had that dream, each with a new face.
She got up, placing a hand on her chest, desperately trying, and falling to clam her heart. " It was just a dream" She reassured herself." There's no one named Hua or Piao".
" Tigress?" A familiar voice called out from behind the thin sheet of paper."Yes, Po?" She said controlling her voice.
" Can I come in?"
" You can". She replied. In a minute, a black and white panda with jade green eyes, sliding the door, entered. She smiled a little and moved to make some place for him. He sat on her bed and asked, rubbing the back of his neck."Tigress, are you okay?"
She give him a startled look. Before raising her brows,"Yes, and Why shouldn't I?". Po eyed her, concerned. He wasn't convince.
" I heard you scream, Tigress. Nightmare?". He simply said. His voice clam, gentle. Outside, The breeze hummed silently as the bright radiant of light hung high in her room, illuminating their surroundings. His eyebrows frowned, his eyes shinning brightly more then the moon.
It was on a rare occasion that Po held a serious look. With eyes that could read through the souls, with a conflagration fire for the wrong doer, warmth and a place to call home for does he cared. Tigress could not deny, right now Po looked the epitome of elegance and great taste.
She felt a great urge to come close. Tilting her head a little she did so, but with a jerk she Snapped out of her trance, And looked away, fortunately Po did not notice ."Tigress" he whispered, more softly then before." You can tell me, I'm there for you. Okay?"
Tigress nodded. He was there for her, that was all she needed to know."Was it a nightmare? how bad?" He asked after not getting a reply for a long, long, long time. He opened his month again, thinking that she didn't at all hear him,"Yes, it was indeed, very horrifying" tigress finally spoke, though she did her best to maintain her formal voice, she couldn't block the images.
The scent of the blood filled her nostrils, the terrifying scream echoed in her ear, the deviled laugh- her laugh, Hua, Piao, the forest. In a minute she once again saw herself taking the life of the two black panthers. Images circled in her mind. They only stopped when she felt a paw on her lips - she had started screaming- Po, rather too quickly, removed his paw in fear of her reaction.
But beating, or hitting someone, even Po, was the last thing on Tigress mind."That bad?" She brought her hand to her face and quietly nodded."Hey? It's okay. It was just a dream. It doesn't mean anything Right? Look, I once dreamt that my parents abandoned me for a radish! Master Tigress, But that doesn't mean that they actually did! So, just rest, and it'll go away".
" I..I know. I suppose it is because of our recent encounter with the peacock, that have made my dreams more violent then before. Though, I appreciate your concern for me". Tigress said.
Po hid a grin." No problem! That's what friends are for right? But- Just get some sleep. Okay? If you need me just call and I'll come, okay?"
"Yeah"
"Goodnight, Tigress"
"Same to you, dragon warrior"
With this, the bear got up with a genuine smile, he left for his room.
Tigress stared at the closed door for what seemed like eons eventually, she laid on her bed again and allowed her eyelids to cover her sunrise/ sunset colored eyes. Only to see a pair of soft jade green orb staring back at hers, making a warm sensation erupt in her chest. Believing all that she had seen to be just a dream, she drifted off to her slumber.
yeah. This chapter was a filler. Next chapter title: "somnambulates or sleepwalking"
Critics are appreciated though. I tried to keep tigress In-character. So failed or pass?
