Another way
Chapter 7 "Conversation of tigers"
"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it - "Master Oogway."
A few moments later, after bathing and eating the dinner prepared by Mr. Wang, Tigress was so exhausted that she asked him for a room and a key to him to be ready to set out the next day. Due to her ailment, she didn't want to expose anyone else.
She could appreciate the goodness of the monkey and promised that if there would be an opportunity, one day would come back here to repay. Mr. Wang took her to the place and pointed to the bed.
"Listen. Do not worry if you hear some noises, just little Tiger have to recover. It usually takes a few nights. Do not approach his room under any circumstances."
"Well, I am not getting involved ," the tigress said, after looking around the room and said goodbye to Mr. Wang smiling gratefully "Thank you again."
"No problem, when you need something, I'm 2 rooms next to it," he replied and left the room, leaving her alone.
Tigress closed the door and laid down. Considering the monkey's warning for a moment. She was laying there for some time, listening to the surrounding space as part of meditation, then felt strong fatigue and closed her eyes. She fell asleep.
A few moments later, suddenly something strange started to happen to her, her body was shaking and her arms straightened. Sweat was pouring out of her head, and her face looked terrified, as if some awful dream tormented her. It was getting harder to catch her breath, the color of fur had darkened a bit, and fangs were getting longer.
"Poo". Finally, the dream was over and she woke up all drenched with her sweat. Tigress was breathing heavily, and in disbelief and fear in her eyes, she looked around the room. To calm down, sat on the bed and leaned forward, straining her ears. She didn't want to think about it, because it would hurt her and tried to focus attention on something else.
A sound suddenly came to her ears. As if from the room above. Tigress rose and came a little closer to the sound source. "Is this someone's sob?" "Yes, that's probably from Zhao's room"
She didn't going to mix it, but couldn't let it go. She felt somehow responsible for it, sort of. So decided to check it out. Master Tigress was the master of sneaking. She opened the door a bit from her room and glanced at whether anyone was sticking around in the kitchen. Walking on tiptoe, reached the stairs and spreading her hands to best balance she began to climb up. The sound became clearer. This time she heard everything better. From the room at the end of the corridor, moaning and growling came as if someone had just taken something valuable from him. She was slowly approaching the door. These door were different than the doors in other rooms. The door were red while others were green. Not knowing why Tigress widened her eyes for a moment. Then she noticed the card on the door "Entrance forbidden"
The doubts were still growing "What if he starts screaming ... It's a stupid idea, I'm going back to the room" When she just turned away, she heard a distraught voice "Why? I did not do anything to them. "
At that moment, she gained courage, and her face was painted with determination and anger. She went to the door and knocked quietly. There was a moment of silence, but nothing happened. She repeated it again. Fat nothing.
"Zhao"
"Leave me, Mr. Wang"
"I'm not Wang, I'm someone who wants to come in and talk to you"
"But I don't want to talk to anyone, leave me alone"
She tried to think of something to let her in, but nothing specific came to her mind.
"Listen to me. I know how it is. A claim to everyone and especially to yourself won't change anything. Open, I'll give you something, and then I'll go. "
"But I don't have a key," said the voice after a moment
"There is no? Does Wang bind you here? "The tiger was still whispering
"He doesn't let me go anywhere in the night."
Wait, I'll look around. The tiger looked everywhere, but she couldn't find anything.
"I see it. There's a key, right under the flowerpot, right now ... "she suddenly stopped because heard someone go. The steps were clearer.
"I'll be back, just be calm"
Tigress quickly put the key back in the place and hid in one of the rooms behind the furniture.
Wang reached Zhao's room, took the keys and opened the door. He came in for some purpose. Tigress, wanting to overhear, came to the door frame and listened
"Okay kid. We have a guest tonight. Don't leave this room until the morning. If only I see that somehow you have escaped, I will take this stick and you will regret it. "
"Ye-es sir"
"Fine. And stop sob like a woman and stop stutter. Work on it because I can not listen to you. You'll only bring trouble to us.
Tigress was shocked while listening.
The monkey left the room and closed the door, putting the key in place. When everything subsided, she opened the room with the key.
When she came in, saw the tiger Zhao being in this orphanage for the first time. The boy sat in the corner of the room and tried to stop crying. Even the tiger's heart moved at that moment. The room contained only a mat on the ground, a chest of drawers for clothes, and one small window that Zhao stared thoughtfully at. the little 7 year old tiger did not move. he felt broken and ceased to believe in something like love to someone. His mind was slowly replaced by survival in his mind.
Tigress was looking carefully him for a moment and tried to get closer, but she didn't know what to say. So she thought about what she would like to hear then and approached him slowly.
"Hello Zhao, I'm Tigress," she said and crouched down to try to communicate better with him.
"I don't care," he said with anger in his voice. "I do not need anyone's sympathy."
"I used to say that too. I still think so. But if I was in your age again ... "
"But you-u are not". He said tartly, but fairly quietly, not to wake mr. Wang up
"Calm down.." The tigress quickly lost her patience, but she refrained from reacting
" I can't. I am still ner-ervous, everybody... is afraid of me. Ye-es, nobody wants me. Even my parents."
The Tigress's heart crashed. Nobody don't even know how hard for her conversation was. For the first time she felt something that cannot be described in any way. She had never sympathized with anyone, just like with him, because she knew exactly what it was like to be a somebody who can't control his strength.
"Zhao ... I was the same."
Zhao looked at her with great surprise.
"But how?"
Tigress was moving, trying to get closer to him with each passing moment
"I don't know how to share my feelings. I also have a problem with establishing closer relationships. I don't need this now so much. But then I would give everything for it. Because I'm from an orphanage too" She summed up.
Eyes zhao sparked in disbelief.
"Re-e-ally?" He asked in his soft voice stuttering a bit
"Yes. My parents left me at the door of the Baogu orphanage. Just like you, nobody wanted to receive me."
"And what happened next?" asked curiously.
The tigress smiled and looked down telling the story.
"One day a master of the jade palace visited us. He came to the call because everyone was afraid of my unbridled strength. They called me a beast. And I believed in it. He was the first who taught me how to master my power. And then when I thought there was no hope, he took me home and showed me the art of kung fu.
"Are-re you a master of Kung fuuu?" asked with excitedly
Yes" The tigress smiled
"Wow, will you show me some blows?"
"Tigress made a kung fu salute " With great pleasure, but not today, because Mr. Wang will hear us.
"Awesome" he looked at her like a hero what impressed the tigress. "What does it mean?"
"Comes from the Confucian ideal of perfection through pursuit of both the scholarly and martial arts and the process of perfecting both arts. This is a greeting.
"I love it" Zhao returned the greeting "I would like to fight kung fu"
"you do kung fu when you improve yourself in any thing"
"I also heard about Yin and yang. What is it?"
"Yin is negative, yang is positive. Together they form a harmonious whole."
"Pret-ty cool.. thank Tigress" he said gratefully smiling
"You speak in the same way as my close friend and you even have green eyes like him"
"Is he a tiger like us? knows kung fu?"
"No and yes" she said calmly smiling as she could only. He is a panda. He is a dragon warrior"
"Wooow it sounds gr-reat" replied "I apologize for my speech defect, I don't not know why I have it"
"It will pass, you talk nicely" the tigress looked tenderly at him. which made him warm look at her. In the end, she could see the blush on Zhao's face.
"And tell me, is Mr. Wang beating you?"
"Only when I can really do something wrong. But he's not bad, if it was not for him, I would not have anyone anymore. "
Tigress spread her hand tenderly on his head and stroked it. "You are really brave. I'm proud of you, "she didn't know why she said it. She isn't his mother, after all.
"I only hope tha-t in the end I will leave and I will also start practicing kung fu art."
"Surely it will be so, you must believe in yourself."
The tigress thought for a moment, then stood up.
"I must go before Wang comes," she said, smiling and holding a grip on his shoulder.
"It's a pity, it was really nice to meet you," he answered with a slight sadness.
"Don't worry, don't blame yourself for how it is. Things will get better in the future."
Zhao suddenly approached the tigress and hugged her tightly
"Yyy" the tigress's face said everything. She doesn't like hugs. At first it paralyzed her, but eventually She prevailed and returned him embrace.
She wanted to tell him that she would gladly adopt him and get home, but she couldn't. She was afraid of what would happen.
"Sweet dreams, boy" she said slowly, closing the door behind her.
"Mutually," he answered.
"Nice kid" She murmured to herself thoughtfully.
Tigress returned to her room with great joy. She no longer felt any symptoms of her transformation that night.
