Hello! Back with a new chapter and sorry for taking so long but I just can't seem to write a lot in one time. I don't know what it is but it's annoying me! Anyway, here's chapter 12!
As they looked to where the fox was pointing they saw a tall male tiger with big muscles, wearing a black vest and dark blue pants. He looked around and soon saw the group looking at him.
But before he could say something to one of the other man that were standing beside him he stopped himself as he recognized two of them.
"Guo? Ju?" he asked, a little surprised.
"Hello, general" Guo replied, while walking towards him with Ju on his shoulder.
"But why are you here? Weren't you spying for us in Bao's army?"
"Yeah but then we sort of got captured by them" Guo said, while pointing towards the Masters.
Kun looked at the group and stopped at the two tigers. He was about to say something but stopped himself again and turned to Guo and Ju: "And who are they?"
"They're the masters of the Jade Palace and the other group helped our friend out so they're also staying with us for a while" Ju replied.
"So, why are they here?" Talking in a softer tone, thinking the group wouldn't hear.
Guo was about to say something but was interrupted my Master Shifu who stepped forward, and had obviously still heard it.
"I'm Grandmaster Shifu. I wanted to talk to you about this Bao. And I asked Guo and Ju to bring us to you" he explained.
"Hm… okay then. Come with us, we have set up a little camp outside this village" Kun replied after he thought it over.
As the group walked with Kun and two of his friends they saw the little camp coming in view. Kun walked in front while talking with Shifu. Behind him were the two other tigers that were with him, followed by the others.
When they arrived the camp was actually larger then expected. There were several tents, probably were they slept and then two larger ones, which probably were for cooking and meetings.
In the camp were not only tigers but also a lot of other animals, like reindeers, owls, foxes, and many others.
They all looked up from what they were doing and watched the group and general curious. The two tigers that had been walking with the Masters (and Guo and Ju) now walked away and joined a group of other animals.
They eventually walked into one of the big tents and sat down.
"So why did you want to meet me?" Kun asked while looking at them.
"Several days ago Bao's army attacked us. We defeated them and met Guo and Ju but when we went to travel to Chengyang we were attacked again and it was obvious their target was Tigress." Shifu said followed by a little pause. "And as you are one of the ten survivors of the Zhen village we wanted to ask you if you might know why Bao is after Master Tigress."
She does remind me of someone but I do not know who Kun thought. Kun looked at Tigress and for a few seconds they locked eyes. Or maybe I do.
"And you really don't have any clue why they are after her?" he asked, not taking his eyes of them.
"Well they think Tigress is the only child that survived the attack" Viper said.
"I see." He said and continued after a little pause: "And you think that too?"
The Master exchanged a few glances before they ended up looking at Tigress.
"I do not know anything about my past except that I grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by Master Shifu" she answered calmly, although you still could see she was troubled.
"Okay then, well lets just say you are the only child that survived, which I highly doubt as I believe there were three children that survived but-" he started to continue but was interrupted by Tigress: "What do you mean wich you highly doubt?"
"Well, all the survivors said there were three children that survived."
"And did you find them?" Monkey asked.
"No, but if you are one of them,..." he continued while turning to Tigress again: "...and you don't know anything about it. Are willing to learn about it?"
"Yes."
"Very well then. If you will stay here I maybe can help you get the memory back."
"Then we'll stay here," Shifu said.
"And we'll stay too" Feng replied.
"Are you sure?" Rue asked but already got her answer as all the boys nodded.
"Follow me, I'll show you were you can stay" Kun said, while standing up.
"Oh, you don't have to place tents for us" Shifu replied, also standing up.
"Why not?"
"We already have enough of them, we only need a spot were a can set them up."
"Same goes for us" Shui said.
"Okay then. Follow me," he continued, while walking out of the tent.
As they passed the other tents they received a few curious glances and eventually Kun pointed out two spots were they could stay.
"I'm sorry we couldn't give something more luxurious for the Master of the Jade Palace but-" Kun started but was stopped by Shifu: "That's alright general".
He smiled before saying: "Dinner will be at sundown" and walking away.
"Sundown!" Po exclaimed, obviously already hungry.
"Here Po, I got an apple for you but you'll really have to wait till sundown for more" Rue said, while grabbing an apple from here backpack and giving it to Po.
But she could hear the others, trying to hold in their laugh because of the silly panda.
"Well let's start with the camp then" Mantis said.
And soon they were all too busy with setting up the camp to notice the black hawk flying towards them until he landed on Rue's shoulder.
She gave a jerk of surprise but was silenced at the hawks comment: "Wow, calm down I won't do anything."
As the others now also noticed the hawk on Rue's shoulder they stopped and walked towards them.
"Who are you?" Rue asked, while she held her arm out
"I am Jingjie and I'm one of the spies of the Jade Palace" Jingjie answered, while hopping on to her outstretched arm.
"And what kind of news do you have for us?" Master Shifu asked the hawk.
"Well my partner didn't had much news and my trip to you all took longer then I thought but we know that Bao still wants the ten survivors" he replied.
"Then we'll have to warn the general" Rue said.
"But wait a minute, why doesn't he want Tigress anymore?" Crane asked.
"Well, that's because they think both Master Tigress and this girl here fell and are… Dead" Jingjie replied, while pointing at Rue and hesitating at the last word.
"What!" The two groups exclaimed and making Jingjie flinch a little.
"Well, yes, they think they fell down the cliff."
After a little silence (as everyone was to stunned to speak) Feng spoke up: "Well, if you think about it it's actually kind of normal they think they're dead".
"What do you mean Feng?" Zhi asked.
"Well, from what I know Rue actually fell down the cliff and Tigress tried to pull her up. But the army left before she fell so they never saw if Tigress fell too."
"That is true" Shifu replied.
"Anyway, thank you for the news Jingjie" Rue said, now turning to the hawk.
"You're welcome" he replied: "And I'm sure we'll meet again" he said before taking off and disappearing in the clouds.
"Well, we'll discuss this later. Let's go on with the camp" Shifu said, followed by the others picking up their work again.
And so we finally meet the general! Wonder what will happen next ;) Again, all tips and comments are welcome. Please read and review :D
