Tigress P.o.V.

I am alive. Viper is alive. Po is alive.

We are the last ones left.

I know she doesn't want me to know, but Viper is dying slowly. The poision is killing her. She doesn't want to fight against it.

I don't blame her for it.

But as I feel Po's lips on mine, I realise part of him has died. There is no sign of the fun-loving Po left, whilst we remain here. Maybe, just maybe, if we get out, someone could bring him back to life. Obviously, I would have to be dead for him to live on. Shif-My father could bring the old Po back, if he really worked at it. I'm placing all my hopes on the feeble thought there is still a spark left.

But these hopes are all I have.

For now, I take comfort in the strange feeling of kissing Po... Should I feel anything? It is my first kiss, but I barely came out of paralysis from fear of losing him. The adrenaline made me do it. I guess it's... nice. Alright, really. But it all feels so fake, and I'm not sure what's real or not real. So we draw back, staring at each other.

That look communicates more than words need say. It is a first time for us both. Most likely, will not be a last.

As the warriors looked at each other, the world seemed to float in a balanced state, where one movement shattered it like glass. Po and Tigress were suspended in the midst of the moment.

That's when the ground started to shake.

"Tigress, what's going on?" Viper cried, as they swerved back and forth as the ground kept shaking. A silent reply came as Tigress scanned through her memories, trying to work out if there was any reason for it. In her not-quite fully mentally stable state, she couldn't work it out, though she had a nagging feeling in the back of her mind it was blindingly obvious.

"I don't know. But we need to get away from it. Fast." Most likely from the adrenaline rushing through her veins, Tigress started to feel warmer as she grabbed Viper and began running, Po suprisingly following closely behind.

A deafening BANG threw all three of them forwards onto their faces. Everything was shaking wildly now. The air was hotter and hotter, and everytime they breathed they seemed to inhale ashes as well. A few minutes and they were coated in the ash. Tigress was suprised none of them had passed out from lack of proper air to breathe.

It finally dawned upon her, during the hundredth-or-so-cough, what was going on.

"PO! VIPER! THE VOLCANO!" Screaming across to her allies, Tigress promptly burst into a coughing fit, slowing both her and Viper down. The extra ash clinging to herself and Viper, as well as Viper's thick vine banage, decreased her speed greatly. Adding the fact she couldn'stop the ash infecting the air she breathed in, and her general status, she was going to die. Soon.

They kept running, Po a fair way in front of Tigress and Viper. He wasn't pleased about this, but Tigress had threatened him with eternal pain in, before and during death if he didn't stay in that position in front of them rather than the fear of losing him from falling back. A cry came from Viper's lips, causing Tigress to stop. Black speckled her vision. Tigress couldn't tell if it was from the ash or her brain.

"Go. Leave. Run." Viper's bandages has caught her, wrapped around a tree. They'd be dead before they'd manage to unravell her. Her voice was rugged and broken, running through her coarse throat.

"No!" Supressing a cough, Tigress continued, "I won't leave you, sister!"

"PLEASE!" Viper knew her situation was hopeless. She's already acknowleged her death as soon as they realised the volcano was coming. She also knew Po and Tigress, if they were fast enough, didn't have long until they wer far enough away to be safe. As long as they left her, they would live. "GO!"

"NO! I WON'T!" Tigress, though losing the argument, retalited. But Viper was already half-dead.

"Do it as my last wish. As Crane, Monkey and Mantis's last wish. For Po. Please." A cracked voice broke through the ashes.

"I... I'm so sorry." Quickly kissing Viper's forehead, Tigress finished, "I love you, my sister. I'm so sorry."

"I love you too, sister." The light was fading from Viper's eyes. Tigress teared herself away from her only sister, the one girl she loved, and ran towards Po faster than the speed of light. There was no time now to feel loss or pain or grief; that would come afterwards.

A cannon blasted.

a/n: *Wallows in shame* So... long time no update... sorry? Awful updater. I am dreadfully sorry. Piano exam, then end of year exams, and projects, and Catching Fire (which I am directing a take on with my friend, so we are splitting and scripting the WHOLE thing) and... yeah. Life is demanding too much attention. Not fair, but still. Hopefully, I will update every weekend. I was sort of stuck with writers block, as I never really go into kissing and all of that. But I always had the volcano in mind. Funnily enough I am doing Volcanoes in Geography ATM. Anyway PLEASE REVIEW! I will only reguarly update when I get 3+ reviews, SO REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! See that yellow box down at the bottom of the page? Yeah, that one? Just click and leave a message to say what you thought... PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE? Virtual candy for any reviews! -Blinkandyoullmissit
