Learning To Trust You

by dellasworkshop

Tigress was thrilled to be adopted by Shifu, but, why has he told her nothing about her past? where did she come from? why is she having flashbacks about things she can't remember? join her as she grows from five years old to adulthood, and how she discovers who she is. Rated T for intense kung fu action and maybe some mild rude humor. Shippings; PoxOc, possible OcxOc

4. Chapter 4, The Dream

Chapter 4- The Dream

In the dream, Tigress stood, invisible, in a forest glen. In the center, stood a beautiful- if not rather old- house. A male tiger in the Imperial Army uniform was walking towards the house, humming pleasantly. At the door was a young tigress, who said, "Father! You're home! Mother, Father's home!" And rushed out to meet him. The girl's Father picked her up and hugged her tightly. Tigress tried to get closer, But she stepped on a twig, breaking it. The male tiger looked up, but couldn't see Tigress, of course. "Who's there?" He asked, "show yourself."

The glen faded, and then Tigress was at the palace, in the infirmary. Shifu and Oogway were sitting down outside the door to a specific room, (which Tigress could not remember) talking in hushed voices. Tigress thought she caught fragments like, "I hope," or "What now?' and once she swore she heard the name, Wo Dey, (I know I said very few Chinese names had 'y's in them, but her's actually does, it means, 'my lady') but everything else was mumbled.

Next, she was taken to Chor Gom prison, and for a few seconds, she was able to see the infamous prisoner, Tai Lung. But before she knew it, she was at the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom, overlooking the mountains. She was resting against the tree, watching the leaves swish in the breeze. She heard a voice humming a song that she found oddly familiar, and then, (I think that KFP took place at a similar time period...) a small fragment of a song by Meowzart, a popular pianist. She remembered the song from somewhere, but couldn't name it. Suddenly, she was awakening, and then she was on the floor of Po's bedroom, in a blanket fort the children had built the night before. It was only later that she realized that the song the male tiger had been humming and the first song the Peach Tree voice sang were the same song, Down In The Meadow, from The Hunger Games. She was left with an odd feeling from this dream, a feeling she should act opon her dream, but she had no idea how...

a/n: shout out to The Grey Coincidence, He writes really good stories! Also, I may not be able to post much during Christmas break, 'cause my dad doesn't want me on computer much, so I can spend time with my family. But I'm gonna try to get Chapter 5 out soon! :) Thanks!
