Author's note:

Hey! Hahaha, loved your reviews, sorry if I freaked out a lot of you! But don't worry...it will be, like lots of you said it, interesting. ;) anyway, hope you like this chapter!

Enjoy!

And so they walked to the forest. Not one of them saying a single word. Po was just observing her. If it weren't for the close distance between him and her, he wouldn't even know if she was a tiger, or what color her fur was. And that was what added to the mystery, most people were afraid to get close. No one could really agree on anything, besides the obvious fact that she was a feline.

But Po didn't felt any danger when being with her. At least not as much as he expected. He felt a certain closeness to the tiger... Maybe it was how she was confident, how she didn't care about the world around her. How she lived for the moment. Or maybe she was like that exotic mermaid that lured you in before sucking your soul out of your body. Maybe that was going to happen to him. But he would say that he enjoyed it, and that he did it to himself. Because he was the one who set himself as the bait.

She didn't pay attention to the panda beside her. He might be the Oh So Mighty Dragon Warrior. But for her, he was a stranger. But then, why did she took him in? Because when she saw his eyes, she felt his pain. The same pain she promised herself to not let happen. The pain that breaks one, that makes you do things you wouldn't do. She had experienced it, and she was stuck in it. Maybe she had this spot on herself that couldn't watch other individuals suffer that kind of pain. HA! As if, no. She wasn't the nice one. She never played sweet. She was an eclipse. Light and darkness mixed together...and only few could see her.

She stole a quick glance at the panda. Yes, he was in pain. He just wanted to escape, and she was the Master of it.

"What's you name?" She demanded.

"Its Po, or the Dragon warrior, or even The warrior of Black and White" The tiger scoffed.

"Wanna brag? Because I can easily beat you at it, so shut your yap" She said. And Po did.

"What's your name?" She stopped to face him,

"I don't give my name to strangers, or to anyone in general" she replied, they walked for another five minutes until they got to the entrance of a small camp,

"But some call me Red" She said, no hint of humor or sarcasm.

Red. She purposely became that, Po had no doubt about it.

A bunny and pig came to greet her.

"Chief, we have the weapons you asked for-" The pig stopped when he saw Po.

"Who the heck is he?" The bunny spit out. Po just observed them.

"Po. He wants to join us"

"Po, this is" She pointed to the pig, "Leng...or is it Ling?"

"Its Leng, Chief" The pig said irritated. Red nodded, trying to mark that she actually didn't care about it. Or that she was going to forget it soon.

"And that's...Ching?"

"Its Chang" The bunny said, rolling his eyes.

"Right. And they each have one assistant, which I'm not even going to try remembering their names" Red stated.

"Cheng" She began,

"Chang" He corrected her,

"Mr. Did-I-Ask-You-To-Correct-me here, is going to show you around the area. Ling" Po expected the pig to correct her, but he didn't,

"Show me the weaponry" Po watched her go. He couldn't believe that she could plant fear into them. They were wanted in many Providences too. But Red had them working for her and they didn't dare question her commands... The bunny snapped him out of his trance.

"If you were thinking about getting her, forget it. She is cold and emotionless. She can kill anyone without remorse. And love is as far away from her as it could be. And she makes sure to keep it that way" Chang said. Po nodded

"Oh, I'm not interested in love affairs. I'm done with anything related to it. It just shatters your heart" He said coldly.

"I was just observing her" Chang snickered.

"Of course" He said, shooting Po a dirty look. Po just shoved him.

"Whoa, buddy. I have a knife, and I bet that Chief won't mind one more death on her account" Po shivered. Deaths? How many innocent lives has she taken? And why?

"Understood" Chang nodded in response and started showing him the few tents that were set up.

"That's my tent and Leng's. That one is for plans and everything. There is another one where Chief keeps her weapons. And the big one over there is Chief's" Chang explained.

"By the way, if one of us suspects that you are planning on backstabbing us, she will kill you. I don't know why she bought you here, she never does, she usually tests them, so for whatever reason you are 'special', it will not apply for betrayal" Chang said, holding a dagger to his belly. Po smirked.

"I have my own secrets. But being a betrayer is not one of them" he said, holding the stare to the Chang. Chang just twitched his nose and walked away. Po sighed. He was about to wander around when Red came.

"Chang told me you challenged him" He gulped,

"I like a rebel" She said with a smirk "but hurt one of them, and I'll personally get back to you" She said, her face close to his. She broke apart the cold glare.

"Let me show you to your tent"

"You mean I won't be staying with Chang and Leng"

"Those two, you'll wake up in a pool of blood" she said with a smile. A smile that sicken Po. How could she find something disturbing as funny,

"You are sleeping on my tent. And try anything, from touching to killing, and I'll be the one who will end up standing over your dead body" She threaten.

"Of course"

"I'm wondering, who are the assistants of your assistants?"

"Its another bunny and a goat, they are younger, but don't get fooled, they know how to pack a punch and how to shoot an arrow pretty damn well"

"What's your real name?" Po asked, hoping this time he could get an answer,

"Panda, you only need to learn one thing about me"

"And that is..."

"I'm the one in control here, and my business is mine. Don't like it, then you go or you die. As simple as that" She said, with a mocking smile at the end.

"Don't you think that's a little bit drastic?" She put her finger on his mouth,

"And don't question me" She whispered.

And I can't believe how something so exotic can be pure demonic. She laughs at the darkest things. She smiles at the most disturbing things. And her eyes sparkle every time she has the chance to make a deadly threat. Yet, there is something hidden in her. Something that might just reveal all of her. Something that might just make her vulnerable. No one can be that strong, no one can be that heartless, no one can go pretending to be as cold as she is...But finding out might just get me killed. And then there's another thing. I don't why, but when she comes close to me, I just want to stare into her eyes and my heart, just...twists. Maybe is the instincts that alert me from dangers. But maybe is something else. I feel that weird closeness to her. Like she needs me. I know, she is a demon. But don't people say that demons were once angels? That there is a part of goodness in every being... She is an eclipse, I just need to look deeper into her light. Finally, the word Red. That's how she calls herself. But why? For all the blood she has spilled...or because she is the one getting hurt? I still need to find out more about her, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to. And I don't know what I'll do if I do discover whatever she is hiding, but I do know that I can help her...and that I'll see her in a new light.

So, how's the story going? Liking it so far?

-peace out:)
