Chapter 4
Tigress POV:
I could hear them discussing a journey outside my door. I tried moving but found myself unable. Hearing them packing was the hardest. I couldn't move or open my eyes. I couldn't go with them. Slowly I began to regain my voice. Before I could say anything I heard them rush out. They were probably all gone, even Po. I thought. Suddenly a loud thump sounded outside my door. The form of a panda showed just outside the door. Unless said Panda moved there was no entering my room. I groaned when I finally managed to sit up. Startled by the groan, the figure shot up and opened my door. There was Po, standing the that worried expression. Just like the one he had used when I was hit with Shen's cannon. I remembered reaching out to try to stop him. I wanted to tell him why, although I was never given the chance.
A smile erupted on his face. I could feel my face growing warm. My insides felt hot, and I smiled. " How long have I been out?" I asked leaning against the wall.
"Just over eight hours. You had me, uh I mean all of us really worried. I should probably fill you in, on what's going on." Po quickly changed the topics. I slowly nodded as he filled me in.
"Po, before you change the topic again, we need to talk. It's about us." I quickly spoke knowing I would lose the courage soon. " I remember what you told me. All of it really, and we need to talk about it." His eyes showed pure fear.
"Tigress, I don't think now is the right time to talk about this. Maybe if you feel better in a few days. Before you even say you're fine, I have a test to prove that you're not. If you can walk to me on the other side of the room then you're fine. If not this conversation waits, until you're better." Po demanded. I was stunned he had never told me what to do like this before. It was actually kinda cute. I thought.
I managed to get up, but when I took a step I almost face planted. Surprisingly fast, Po caught me and scooped me up in his arms. "H-Hey! What are you doing?"
"I'm taking you to the kitchen for breakfast. You can't walk so I will carry you. You have to eat, and you can't cook, so you will eat my food."
Po spoke in a surrisingly firm voice, giving up on the struggle, I snuggled into his arms. Before I knew it a voice was saying, " Tigress, wake up. We're in the kitchen, you have to eat."
"I opened my eyes, jut as I was set down. A medium sized bowl of soup was sitting in front of me. A small taste of the food left my mouth watering for more. Not long after the first bowl, I had finished the second. I found myself once again scooped into the comfy big arms, and carried to my room. I fell asleep just before we reached my room. It seemed all so peaceful.
Nightmares reigned that night. Images of being evil, and killing the furious five haunted me. The worst was killing Shifu and Po. We were just normally talking in the training hall about a mission we were going to be assigned too. Wolves barged I and surrounded us. Turning quickly I pushed Po to the ground and watched Shifu die. Po tried to save him, but was stopped by me. I held him back, screaming over him. " you can't save him, or yourself. I used the Wushi finger hold, destroying him completely.
I woke in tears. Panicking for the fear it was no dream. Yet, there on the floor was a sleeping panda. Looking outside my room, I could see the light. It was tomorrow, and it was time to talk. I called Po waking him up quickly.
"It's tomorrow, and it's time to talk about us."
