And here is chapter 2! And thanks for all the reviews guys. :D

(1 year later)

The market was full with geese, rabbits, pigs and other animals who where doing there daily work, Rue walked down the busy streets and markets searching for food, it was one year after she left the orphan camp and she was now five years old. She walked over to an apple stand where she spoke to the goose that was standing there talking to some other goose.

"I'm sorry sir, but can have one apple?" she asked.

"Sure you can have one" the goose said while smiling "but only if you pay" he continued still smiling.

"But I don't have any money".

"Well to bad little girl but then you can't have one of my apples".

"B-but" she sighed "fine" she said while walking away.

"Wait, wait little girl" the other goose called her over

"What's wrong ma'am?"

"Can I see your eyes?"

Rue walked back to them, followed by another question from the goose "are you-
"-blind?" her man finished the line for her.

"Yes" Rue simply answered

"And how old are you?"

"I'm five".

At that answer the goose could only gasp in shock, "ow you poor kid, you can have an apple, you know what? Take a complete back if you want!" the goose said, feeling sorry for the little tiger.

"WHAT!" the goose yelled back at his wife. "Those are my apples!"

"Ow, she is just a kid for god sake!", "give her those apples!" his wife replied.

"But honey w-
He was cut of by Rue who was watching them saying; "Thank you ma'am but five apples will be enough. Are you sure I can have them?"

"Absolutely, here, take them" she said while handing here the five apples.

"Thank you" Rue replied with a little smile and walking further down the market.

While she walked she could see all kind of shops, shops with tea, with paintings, with pencils and more, all of it looked beautiful with the sunbeams shining on it.
But sad enough she couldn't buy anything.

After a while she got hungry, she took a bite of one of her apples and continued walking, then she saw a little shop with many, many scrolls.
She went inside to ask the pig owner about the scrolls, which appears to be kung fu, medication, surviving and many other scrolls. She walked past the shelves looking at the scrolls, there were so many; she saw blue one, red one with golden patterns on it, and also posters of kung fu positions.

The owner asked her if she wanted to buy some but she didn't have any money. Because the pig felt sorry for her, so he gave her special scrolls; one scroll about the basics of kung fu, one about medication and three about surviving on the streets and in the forests.
She was about to thank the man when he asked if she needed a place to stay, she said 'yes' and could stay one night with him but in that one night he had already learned her how the read and meditate.

The next day Rue had already thanked the pig and was walking through the forests with her staff while reading the scrolls about kung fu and looking for berries to eat.
I don't want to eat all my apples up in one time she thought. While she continued walking she saw a tall tree, which had fruits in it, she tried to climb it but she immediately fell down.

She stood up rubbing her head and tried it again this time leaving her staff on the ground, she continued this till night and fell asleep under the tree between the flowers and grass that grow under the tall tree itself. The next morning she continued trying to climb again.

After three days she managed to climb it but now her problem was to get down, because she was blind and couldn't see good without her staff she fell out of the tree again, luckily this time she managed to grab a branch before hitting the ground.
By the end of the year she had managed to climb trees with her staff or without her staff and climbing down with or without her staff (though she mostly did everything with her staff).

The sun was already setting in the sky, giving the forest a glow of orange and red. It has been 15 months since she has left the orphan camp and she was beginning to get used to the live outside on her own.
I bet they don't even miss me Rue thought while running with her staff in one of her paws. She was about to rest when she heard some rustle from the bushes.

Slowly she was beginning to walk towards the bunch when a croc jumped up from it, surprising her and pinning her to the ground. Soon she was surrounded by ten crocodiles when the leader stepped forward.

"Give us all your money and belongings!" he demanded.

"I don't have any money".

"Then give us your belongings, like that staff or something!" he said again.

"No".

"What! Ow, you little- he couldn't think of a word and just screamed, "get that stupid blind kid!" He better had not said that because Rue hates it when she is called stupid or something else just because she is blind, now she was mad.
Soon nine croc bandits were charging at her, but Rue already saw every movement of them coming and deflected each punch or kick with her staff.

Rue then delivered a kick to the jaw of one of the bandits, as soon as it hit him he flew back into another croc and they both crashed into one of the iron-wood trees, the impact so hard that it knocked them unconscious.

Next were three other bandits that also were charging at her, she deflected their punches with her staff and managed to knock one of the three unconscious, while Rue was still defending herself the leader noticed something.

"She is only using defend tactics!" he yelled to his crew.

This took Rue completely of guard so another croc, that came running from the left, managed to make a deep cut with his sword that ran from her hip till the middle of her leg.
Rue collapsed while screaming from pain, but she managed to give the three bandits a hard knock with her staff knocking them unconscious.

She stood up deflecting one knife that the leader threw at her and ran away as fast as she could, while she run she could feel the leader and the remaining three bandits close after her but there, on a little mountain side, she saw a little cave.
As fast as she could she ran to the cave and hide in there, she could hear the bandits fighting over where she was and eventually leaving to go pick up the fallen members of the crew.

Rue lay there silent as the night, afraid that they might come back, when she didn't hear them anymore she managed to get up looking at her wound.
It was a really deep cut and also the left side of her vest was a little torn, she went outside the cave crawling on her good paws looking for something to stop the bleeding.

Soon she found what she was looking for, a little green plant with a pink-orange flower on it, she picked the plant from the ground and also picked two leafs from another one, it was a plant with big, long and wide leaves then she crawled back inside the cave.

She made a medicine from the plants flower and put the first leaf vertical on the wound while she rolled the second leaf around her leg to make sure the other leaf didn't move.
After that she layed down on the floor, silently crying and after her whisper; "I miss my mommy" she fell asleep.

The next day she woke up in the cave it was still dark but thanks to her feline eyes she could she the walls of the cave, it wasn't very long and where it ended you could see rocks blocking the end, the walls where rough with some sort of line pattern on it.

She lived in the cave for seven years, she had enough food and medicine, she could meditate and practice kung fu in silence but when she was twelve she wanted to see more, so she started to travel.
She travelled through the country and had seen so many villages and cities; she enjoyed travelling and found places in the forests or alleys to sleep in.

That's the end of chapter 2:) And poor little Rue
Please R&R! :D
