Chapter 4

"Tigress!"

Jerking, she did a high split perfectly landing on the ground. Ignoring the blabbering panda, she turned around to admire her handiwork in other words The training hall which was filled with broken chucks of wood, debris of various equipment and machinery.

"Tigress?!"

"What?" She hissed taking hold of the panda by his collar and pushing him to the wall, with her well known strength she lifted him a few feet off the ground." What now? Dragon warrior?" She sneered at his title as if it was the most disgusting thing she'd ever heard.

"Ti-Tigress.. Shifu w-wants us to check the forest. Some vi-villagers just complained right now..so..ah Please don't hurt me!" He stammered.

"Why me?" She asked in a voice that freeze the air around.

"Idontknow! Idontknow!"

"What?"

Po swallowed, taking a deep breath he repeated slowly as his voice creaked in between." I rea-really don't know Tigress."

A sigh slipped from her lips slowly as her anger started to fade, the panda slide down." Forgive me,

Dragon warrior. I'm quite not my self as you already know." She apologized in a slow way of speaking that the panda had a bit of difficulty to understand.

"Tigress it's okay. Well, ah let's just get going to kick some torture doing bandits!" Po enthusiastically pumped his fist in air, sweeping his pants simultaneously.

Tigress shock her head a bit, irritated by his never ceasing childish act.

As they walked, the sun shone brightly lightning their way. Between them, many words were exchanged.

It was revealed to her that in the mist of the nights dark, the villagers were exposed to the sounds of what seemed like torture. She could not help but feel a chill with every step as she got closer to the place where the horrors behind her eyelids would play.

It was, at that moment she decided to trust the panda who was busy telling her a tale of Oogways adventure." Po"

"So master oogway... What?"

"There's something I've to tell you."

He nodded looking rather confuse.

"Po I.. It's.. It's about the nightmares."

His goofy smile and look in his eyes was now replaced with one of worry and concern." Did you've em' again?"

Tigress silently approved. The two moved in the absents of sound as the air around them grazed adjusting to their mood." Po, They're...getting worse." She said hesitating, after all taking about her feeling was never her thing.

she cleared her throat before her voice was heard again." I can not take more of it. I thought maybe taking about it with you, will provide ease to me."

She looked away, feeling his gaze and avoiding it. Weak she was and had proved it too.

"Well, at least you shared your feelings. And of course, it doesn't make you weak."

Tigress spurted forward due to his response, wondering how he knew what She was thinking and debating whether it was an attributable to telepathy.

"I can't say much about it. Most probably its because of the recent events like you said." He continued." I'll say don't let it affect you Tigress."

"How Po? It's easier said then done. Try being in my place, you'll cope with it worse then I'm." She argued.

"True. but then again, I wont let some fake thing change me. Tigress, you're making a mass outta it though." At this point he had stopped and was now looking her in the eye. " Tigress, what're your dreams about? Pain, horror? They're everything but real. Don't let them change who you are."

"But Po"

"Tigress you know what? Lets just wrap this up, go home and we'll talk there. How's that?"

He was right in a manner of Speaking." Sounds like a plan to me." She responded after a moment of thinking.

Po grinned childishly and She couldn't stop the urge to smile. Jade met ember and Tigress got lost in the world of green. A warm sensation flowed in her veins, and strangely she felt herself enjoying it.

There, she felt as if to trust the holder of those never judging green orbs with her hopes, dreams, fears and wishes.

But it was all ruined when in between the warmness, the smell of blood entered her sensitive nostrils." Follow me" she said breaking the trance, before dashing towards the source while the panda though looking disappointed, did what he was told.

Her legs came to a halt as her eyes found a trail of red liquids.

Following it, her orbs set on six badly mutilated bodies, cleared by sight that the owners were no longer alive, and kept at a respective distance.

Po entered the scene moments later. Eyes filled with horror, while smell of the rotten flesh made his stomach turn upside down." What the".

She made no sound while slowly waking towards them, kneeing to the level of one, Tigress rolled the body and gasped at what laid before her." Hua" she whispered eyes fixed on the dead panther, who was ruthlessly killed. She did the same with the other near by."Piao." Looking around, she saw the faces of the other with whom Po had done the same.

Tigress shambled back, eyes widened and fixed at the faces which haunted her. " Noooo!" She screamed, For their existence was impossible. She had seen and killed them but they were not supposed to be real. No. They were supposed to be the fragments of her violent imagination.

"Tigress! What's wrong? Tigress, I know this is sick but hey! answer me.?!" Po asked placing his hands on her shoulders,Shaking them a little simultaneously.

Tigress got up, ignoring and shoving him out of the way, she ran towards the jade palace while tears streamed down her face. This was not real. This couldn't be real. But it was, it truly was. She was the guilty one and she was the only one who knew.
