Chapter 3

Somnambulates

Tigress collapsed on her bed the moment she stepped in her room. The day went fairly rough, leaving the Tiger style master exhausted. Running through the obstacle course for more then seven times, and punching the *hornbeam (another name for ironwood tree) surrounding the jade palace was more tiresome than she had expected. And Tigress, though would refuse to accept it, had pushed her self to the limits. But still, her tiredness didn't caught up to her till she drank the special tea Po had left for her.

"What did you put in the tea Po?"

Tigress mentally asked as she laid on her stomach, enjoying the comfort her bed was providing. Her ember eyes took cover under her eyelids.

She at times like these, realized the importance of sleep, even though her nightmares would cause her to feel fear. Her only relief was sleep. Because When she was sleeping, She was neither sad nor angry. She was neither lonely nor did she have any burden,

She was nothing.

With thoughts like these Tigress got lost in the world of fantasy. But unfortunately, her fantasy was the resting place for the devil.

"Let me go please! Don't come near me!"

"It'll hurt me more then it'll hurt you"

"I beg of you! I won't tell a soul, Please!"

"I've heard the same before. Say something more...excusable"

"My pa-parents! My wife! I've kids, they need me!"

" Now Thats too bad. They just have to learn to live without you. I can only say: once you see me, you're dead".

"Noo! No! Please! Ah,AHAHAHAHA"

"Goodbye "

"NOO!" She screamed, ripping the bed sheet with her claws along. Panting, Tigress tried to catch her breath but failed miserably. She leaned back, fully exhausted this was too much, even for her. She sat still for a moment, heavy breaths, eyes drained, trying her very best to extricate herself."Po" she thought out loud.

"If you need me, just call I'll come"

She had too tell him about the dreams, she knew that he was the only one who'll understand. She caught her breath at the thought of his soft green eyes, about the strange urge she felt to get close to him, it was different, new, peculiar from what she had ever felt, yet it was good. It give her a kind of warmth she had always desired. What's wrong with her? She shook her head lightly, shrugging the feeling off.

She got up, wobbling a little, her vision blurred, she rubbed her eyes and Tigress felt a pinching pain in her shoulders.

I must have slept in a wrong angle

Tigress thought, stretching her hands as a yawn escaped from her lips. She looked out of her window and her eyes widen seeing the sun's position. I overslept was the last think she ruminative before tearing out of her room, she ran as fast as she could towards the Training hall, busting the door open she said."Master Shifu I'm..sorry" Her voice lost strength as she found the hall empty.

"That's weird" She peeked her and there, her eyes running wildly but still she found on sign of her friends. Did something happen? Were they attacked? How could she have slept through it? She did A headlong dash through the palace, and found no sign of them.

Minute by minute her heart filled with worry. Finally, she stopped on the place everything started. They arena. Tigress gasped, panted and placed her hands on her knees. She looked around helplessly. Maybe they're in the village. She thought but that was impossible then again maybe they assumed she'll understand and continue doing what she always does instead of going on a wild goose chase.

"Tigress!" She felt relief in her veins when she saw the panda running towards her, he stopped a few feet ahead, gasping, raising one finger as if to ask a minute. Tigress opened her mouth." Where the heck were you?" Po asked between gasps holding the same look he had the day before yesterday. His eyes were worried and strangely they were worried for her." You scared the hell outta me! Where were you?!"

Tigress frowned." What do you mean where was I? You scared me! Where's Shifu and the others?" She sternly replied

Her answer was given by another voice belonging to Mantis." Guys! Po found Tigress!"

In a flash, stood six masters (including Po) in front of her with worried expressions." Tigress where exactly were you?" Shifu asked his voice cold, clammy, in simpler words honest-hearted scary." I overslept master" she said.

"What are you saying?"

" I overslept Po"

"What are you talking about? You weren't in your room. We checked everywhere and you weren't there! Where were you?!" Shifu demanded his anger now erupting. His voice now rising word by word. They spend the entire morning looking for her, and here she was lying to him on his face.

"I was in my room. I overslept master". Tigress repeated.

"Tigress you weren't there. We checked your room three times. Me, shifu and Po you weren't there. There was no sign of you! We thought someone kidnapped you or something!" Viper frowned in anger, mentally thanking the god that her sister was safe.

Her eyes widen. What they said was impossible." I was in my room! I'm not lying! I woke up right now and you guys weren't there!"

" Viper's right Tigress. If one of them could've made a mistake, at least the other one would've seen you. Three people can't lie about the same thing, especially master Shifu." Crane said.

" Yeah! If you don't wanna tell us it's fine but you could've left a note". Monkey added.

" But I'm not lying! I was in my room when I woke up!". She yelled, they didn't believe her, why? Why didn't they believe her?

"Tigress, I don't appreciate my students lyin-"

"Sleepwalking!"

"What!?"

"Sorry for interrupting Master Shifu, but I..I believe Tigress so..maybe she..ya know she started to sleep walk" Po concluded nervously, his thumbs started to battle with the other.

"I don't Somnambulate!"

" Thats the thing! Tigress you won't know cuz you're walking while.. Sleeping so.. You know that's why it's called sleepwalking! You were having trouble sleeping so maybe"

" Oh really? Then does your theory explains why nobody saw me?" She argued. How can he even think a reason like that! She thought. Yet, a part of her noticed how he didn't mention a thing about the nightmares.

" Your sheath mood's pretty Awesome so maybe it got even more awesome in your sleep".

"Po you are so stupid! There's no possi-"

"Tigress" Shifu interrupted." Po has a point".

"But master, you know me better then I do, that I don't Somnambulate!" she shouted.

"Then Tigress, please say something more...excusable". Shifu said, his eyes narrowed.

Tigress made no sound not because she was lost for words, but because She..had said the same to her ..victim, to that pig in her dreams.

"Good, go and have some rest".

Tigress nodded wordlessly.

" Master Shifu" she heard Mantis."Do we have to install some locks in Tigress incase she sleepwalks again".

A loud growl escaped her lips giving the answer to the small bug. Before anyone could say a word, she left and ran towards the training hall.

Rest? No, she didn't feel like resting. She felt a great urge to hit something, no someone. To cause pain to them, to hurt someone, to punch someone, to beat them so much till they begged her to end their life. And then, she felt her heart say, that she would gladly fulfill their wish.

review please!
