Chapter 3: My New Home
My POV:
I will never ever forget the day, when I realized where I was staying. And who I was staying with!
I'm not really sure how long I was unconscious. But I remember one time when I woke up. I finally realized who all was here.
As I was slowly waking up, I felt someone place a wet cloth on my forehead. I slowly forced my eyes open. I couldn't believe who I saw walking away from my bed. It was Master Shifu!
But he looked troubled. I wasn't sure why, but then again. He always seems troubled about something!
Then I saw the door to my room open and in stepped a White Tiger. The same one that I met earlier!
I couldn't catch what they were saying. Only bits and pieces. Like...
"No major wounds."
"Hasn't eaten in quite a while."
And, "Soon as she's up. We need to get some food in her!"
I guess that they were trying to help me. Then I looked up at the White Tiger. I looked at her kind face. Then I looked closer. I felt my heart begin to race. I couldn't believe it.
'That White Tiger... that's Shadow!' I thought.
Not only was I in the world of Kung Fu Panda. But my own fan character was too!
I stared at them for a while. Not wanting to close my eyes. Worried that this was all a dream, and that it would end soon. Then I felt a wave of tiredness wash over me.
I don't know why. But it did. And I was forced to close my eyes. And soon passed out again.
I woke up again, much later. For a slight moment. I thought that I had dreamed everything. That my mama would come walking through the door, telling me to get up. It was time to feed the girls! My wonderful animals. But as I looked around the room. I remembered what had happened. And that they were all gone...
I felt tears start to roll down my cheeks. I closed my eyes. Trying to forget the horrible memories that still played in my mind. Trying to forget the looks on their faces, as I said my last good bye.
"Hey, are you ok, sweetie?"
I opened my eyes to see Shadow sitting in a chair, beside my bed. I looked away from her. Not wanting her to see me crying.
"*sniffle* I-I miss my mama and daddy!" I said quietly.
My tears began to come faster, as I thought about my parents. Shadow rose to her feet and sat down on my bed.
"Hey. It's ok, sweetie!" she said quietly.
I stared up at her. Then I did the only thing I could. I quickly sat up, grabbed into her, holding her tightly and sobbed into her fur. It just all came out. I couldn't hold it in any longer. I missed them so much, it just all built up inside me, until I couldn't take it anymore.
Shadow hugged me, and gently rocked me back and forth. "Shh... your alright!" she said as she hugged me.
I just continued to cry on her shoulder. "I tried. But I couldn't help them. I wanted to save them! But I couldn't!" I sobbed.
"I know, sweetie. I know. But you need to calm down. Your going to wear yourself out again!" she said quietly.
After a few minutes, my sobs soon quieted down. Until I was only shedding a few tears.
"There. You feel better now?" she asked, as she reached up and wiped away my tears.
I nodded and said, "I'm... I'm sorry about that... I just..."
"I understand. You've been through a lot!" she said, smiling at me.
I hung my head. I was still very upset about my parents. Everything was different now. They were gone. Then Shadow broke the silence, that had fallen.
"Are you hungry?" she asked.
I looked up at her and nodded quickly.
She smiled and said, with a little laugh, "Ok. I'll be right back!"
Then she got up from the bed and walked out of the room. I sat there. Trying to figure out how I would explain where I came from.
I looked around the room. I saw my backpack, hanging on the back of a chair. I reached up, and felt for the locket around my neck.
When my, well, paw grasped around it. I popped it open. I saw myself and my parents. Then I noticed that it had two sides. On one side. Was the picture I saw the day of the fire. On the other side. It was still us. But we where all White Tigers. I smiled in disbelief as I closed it.
Then Shadow walked back in. Carrying a big bowl, filled with dumplings. She walked over and handed it to me, I quickly grabbed it from her and scarfed it down in, 40 seconds flat.
"My, my. You were hungry!" Shadow said with a laugh.
I licked my lips and nodded my head. "I was. Thank you, Shadow!" I said.
She cocked her head to the side and asked, "How do you know my name?"
"Um... well, everybody knows you!" I replied. Hoping she'd buy it.
She stared at me for a moment, then nodded her head. I let out a quiet sigh in relief. Then she sat down in the chair, again.
"So. Since you know my name. It would be nice to know yours!" she said.
I hadn't thought that far ahead. What would I tell her? I couldn't really say, Sara. Not exactly a name you'd expect from a White Tiger! Then I remembered the fan character I had in my backpack. She was based off me completely. I could use her name. I looked up at the feline.
"Rose... my name is, Rose." I said quietly.
She smiled kindly at me. "That's a very pretty name!" she said.
I smiled back at her.
And from that moment on. I've been known as, Rose...
