-Turning Point-
-Tigress' POV-
I was just forced back to consciousness, though I'm not completely sure if I wanted to leave it. I still had the taste of Dai Lin's lips on mine. My sleeping mind was just trying to wake up. I stared groggily at him. "What… what happened…" I asked. He stood up still mind-boggled.
"Well, damn. I don't know, I just came into your room looking for you after Po told me you left the festival early. And there you are on the floor struggling for breath! What the hell were you doing?!" He asked growing impatient. I said nothing. He had more explaining to do than I did. I found my bed nearby and climbed onto it. I sat there with my head hung, I looked up to my shelves and saw the small tiger lily statuette I had received when I became a master.
So Nay Wan did not catch me when I was sleeping. He got me when I was awake and caused me to fall on the floor. Whatever he used on me anyways. Dai Lin sighed and our eyes met.
"Look… I'm… I'm sorry I wasn't around the past couple of days… I was just… catching up…" He trailed off. There was more to his story. But like I said before, it was his story. Not mine to know.
"Why are you apologizing? You're a grown man, I'm not your mother. You don't have to tell me everything. You never had to tell me everything. It's not like you did before." What was I trying to do? Was I trying to hurt him? He didn't answer to it though. "I felt sick… and tired. So I came to lie down, but I passed out. I'm fine."
He nodded, now calm. For some reason I didn't want to be around him. Or do I? I haven't a clue. What was it Nay Wan said? 'Let someone else love you.' Did he mean Dai Lin? Did he mean his best friend who was easily thrown into being his enemy? I love being around Dai Lin. He's helped take care of Seytu for most of his life. I… don't really know what I'd do if he disappeared. He couldn't possibly have meant Dai Lin.
"I… I didn't abandon you… was that what you were worried about…?"
I suddenly received chills that ran down my spine. He was there when I was young. He was there when I was young. I know his whole story. But he murdered the very first person I ever had a relationship with. He played a countless amount of girls. He became a certain poison to me. But he was there, even when he was not. He spent three years looking for me. Even though I didn't want to be found. Hell, others might know me better than I know myself.
"Please say something… Tigress…" He said, interrupting my thoughts. He slowly walked over my way. "Look, sorry I was… I had to revive you somehow." Usually I would be vexed by that. But I just don't have the energy to argue with it. "It's… it's fine." He stepped forward more, now just a foot away from me. "Tigress… I'm not going to leave you. No matter how badly you want me to." He said with a smile. I did not return the smile. Even though that might be what I should have done.
I felt his warm paw slip into mine. I looked up at him, and he stared back with eyes full of hope. "I'll always be there for you. No matter whatever else anyone wants to throw at us. I didn't look for you for three years for nothing Tigress… I had nightmares about you. Every night. And… I was frightened… I was never going to reach you in time… If you were in danger. Do you know what it feels like having to know someone so dear to you could be dead or in danger? And you spend three damn years impatiently wondering if it was already too late the day after you left? After a while Tigress, I felt as though I was chasing something that wasn't there. You can't… tell me… I don't care." I'm still dizzy, my brain is foggy. I want to lie down.
I don't know how much time passes before I lose my balance, and a pair of arms catches me and holds me bridal style with no struggle. He places me down softly in my bed and covers me up. He stands there for just a moment, turns around and walks to the door. He mumbles something I can't understand, and leaves.
Okay, I know this chapter is suckish, but it won't be that way next chapter. It's short, I know, but it's for a lot of different reasons. I… I don't know. Sometimes, I want to take down my stories on FanFiction, and just continue to write my story on FictionPress. I started the story today, It's called: Bumps Dubbed Goose. It's my own story, and that story just seems to be the only one I have the slightest bit of faith in right now. Though I have so much planned out for this story, I feel so discouraged. Though, I made a vow. I promise to keep this story going until it is finished. I made that promise and I plan to keep it that way.
Next chapter will be mainly about those other characters you're just not so sure of. SPOLER ALERT. Lol, but seriously.
Until next time!
