Kung Fu Panda – Blood Thirsty
Chapter 3
Tigress was not herself. She knew that her mother wanted her and would never stop. She had no idea what to do.
"It's ok Tigress. Everything will be ok." Kage assured her.
"You can read minds?" Tigress asked him. They were sitting in an inn with the others. The others were making small talk.
"Yup. That's my power." Kage said.
Tigress smiled. She wished again that how great it would be if she were normal.
"Being vampires is not a curse. And we, we are special. We don't wanna rule the world or anything like that. Your mother thinks like that." Kage said, reading her mind again.
"Get out of my head." Tigress teased him.
They talked with the others and finally went to sleep in different rooms.
X-X-
"Tigress?" Viper knocked on Tigress's door. Tigress was late. She was never late. Kage knocked on the door and called out her name asking if she was sick. No response.
Viper opened the door. They saw no one. Tigress's room was empty. They saw a small note.
' Warriors of the Jade Palace,
I have done nothing wrong. I just wanted to spend some time with my daughter. So I took her. She's too soft, you know. She isn't supposed to be soft as she is a vampire. Oh right. You don't know that she is a vampire. Did you know that she has powers also? Vampires have powers, you know. A pity. Really. But don't worry. We'll be back soon. And you will bow to us.'
All were shocked. Tigress? A vampire? That doesn't make any sense. And what did the person mean by writing that they will bow to this person?
Kage was shocked as well. He knew what her mother wanted. And with Tigress's power, the mother could achieve what she wanted.
'Tigress. Make the right choice.' He prayed.
X-X-
Tigress glared at her mother. Her hands were tied behind her back, so that she wouldn't be able to control anything or anyone. But tying her hands were useless.
Phoenix was sitting in front of her daughter, paying no attention to the glare. Suddenly she fell to ground and gasped for air as she felt someone choke her.
"Clearly it was useless to tie my hands." Tigress chuckled, as she controlled her mother with the help of her eyes. She released her death hold on Phoenix. Phoenix breathed deeply. She rubbed her sore neck.
"I see, that you are more powerful than l imagined." She said rubbing her neck.
"I am." Tigress said as sweet as poisoned honey.
Phoenix glared at her and tried to sense Tigress's feelings. She couldn't read her feelings.
"How are you keeping me away?" Phoenix asked her.
"What do you mean?"
"I can't sense your feelings. I can't tell if you're afraid or angry. How are you doing this? Are you having an invisible shield around you?"
"Wow. Someone's going old." Tigress teased her mother.
Phoenix snarled at being called old. She untied Tigress's hands and led her to her bedroom.
"This is where you'll be staying." Phoenix said, entering a big bedroom.
Tigress looked around and she had to admit that she liked this room.
"Is it night?" Tigress asked Phoenix.
"No. lt's morning. But do you need to rest dear?"
"I am a little tired. I spent the night trying to fight you all. So, obviously I will be tired. I'm gonna rest for a while." Tigress made her way to the huge bed.
She got under the covers and snuggled in. the bed was soft and comfortable. She closed her eyes. She felt something cold press against her forehead. She opened her eyes and froze. Her mother was kissing her forehead, in a very mother-like way. Tigress smiled and slept like a newborn baby.
Phoenix left the room sensing that her daughter was happy and calm. First, she just wanted Tigress to help her in dominating. But when she got Tigress, she felt close to her. She wanted to be a mother to her.
X-X-
Two months passed. Tigress had to admit that she became quite close to her mother. Not just close. They had regained their lost relationship. Tigress received the love she had always wanted from Shifu, her father-figure.
Tigress still wondered how her friends were doing. Especially Kage. Were they fine? Is Kage managing his thirst? Or did he kill her friends? Did he confess that he is a vampire? So many questions lingered.
"Hey Tigress. You okay?" Phoenix asked her daughter, who was looking out a window.
"Yes mom. I'm fine." Tigress answered, not looking at her mother.
Phoenix frowned. She knew when Tigress was feeling down. She did sense feelings.
"I know you're sad. But of what, I dunno." Phoenix started.
"Mom. I'm just worried about my friends. Are they ok? Are they doing well? I don't know." Tigress said worried.
"Tigress." Phoenix said sternly. "They won't accept you when they know who you are. They won't be your family anymore. They will mock you. Call you a monster. They might even burn you if they get the chance."
"What if they accept me?" Tigress asked quietly.
"Nonsense!" Phoenix shouted.
Tigress cringed. She didn't want to upset her mother.
"Sorry." Tigress apologized, which was unlike her.
Phoenix nodded. She looked out the window as well.
"Soon, we will dominate the weaklings. You will help me. Your power can make everyone do as you want." Phoenix mused.
"What else can I do?" Tigress asked.
"Hmm?"
"My power. Is that the only thing I can do? Make anything or anyone act under my command?"
"Yes. You can make the normals our slaves."
"That's all?"
"Yes."
Tigress said nothing more. She knew that wasn't all. She could do much more. She would find out what she could do soon.
X-X-
The warriors of the Jade Palace missed Tigress terribly. They didn't care whether Tigress was a vampire or not. They just wanted her back.
