SECRETS

CHAPTER 1- FLASHBACK

It was a dark, cold night in China. It was two months after Po had defeated Tai Lung. Everything was pretty normal after that. The moon shone bright over the Jade Palace. Everyone was sleeping softly in their warm beds, all except Tigress. The dark memories of the past haunted her dreams. Everyone knew that Tigress was an orphan until she was fostered by Master Shifu. But not everyone knew how she became an orphan. Tigress knew that her friends would find out about her dark, dreary past soon enough but she tried to avoid it as much as she could.

The room in Tigress' dream was cold as ice. She heard a slap and shriek of a woman. She was rolled up in a ball on her bed. The room was small but had enough room for a white bed, quite comfortable and springy, and a cupboard. The room still has some excess space. Tigress was only four. She remembered her childhood very clearly, how could she ever forget the pain and the misery. A little snow leopard cub boy came into the room.

"Tigress," he sobbed. Tigress patted her bed for him to come sit next to her. He ran to the bed. Tigress lifted him up onto the bed. She wrapped her arms around him and nuzzled him.

"I'm scared Tigress," There were tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry Lung, he won't hurt you," she answered. She sighed. She now looked into Lung's blood shot eyes which were red and wet from continuous crying. He wasn't like other snow leopard cubs. He had no beard and a wider face. The tip of his tail was black and orange, not black and white. He wore green trousers and a red shirt with a blue imprinted design. The design was exactly like Tigress'. It was all wet from his tears.

"I'll make sure of that," A tear fell from the little girls face. The small cubs heard another shriek.

Meanwhile...

DONG!!

"Good morning Master," All of Master Shifu's six students greeted him in front of their dormitories. All except one, Tigress. Master Shifu looked baffled by her non-appearance. So did the others. They would have expected Po to be late but not Tigress. Not once had Tigress been late to greet her master after the morning dong. She was like a dong magnet! They all walked in front of Tigress' room, their master leading them. Master Shifu knocked on the door.

"Are you alright in there Tigress," There was no answer. He opened the door. Tigress was laying on her bed, moving her head rapidly from left to right. Drops of sweet fell from every part of her body. Once the inhibiters of the Jade Palace saw her in this state, they widened their eyes in horror and ran to their friend's assistance.

"Po, get a glass of cold water," Shifu had shouted. Po had started to run towards the kitchen. The group of people started to crowd around poor Tigress but declined once Tigress extracted her claws and started to wave her arms above her, almost scratching Monkey 's face. Po had just come in with a glass of cold water. She screamed out in her sleep,

" NO, NO, DON'T HURT HIM. HURT ME, NOT THEM, PLEASE, PLEASE, I'M STRONG. THEY'RE WEAK. DON'T HURT LUNG. IF YOU WANT A CHALLENGE,WELL HERE I AM," Tigress then let out a scream of pain. All her friend's eyes were wet and had already let out a cup full of tears.

"um, here," Po had said quietly to Shifu and handed him the glass of cold water. Shifu threw the glass in Tigress' face. She suddenly awoke and was sitting up on her bed. She was breathing deeply. Who wouldn't after...THAT! Tigress had realized that she was not alone in the room. All her friends were around her, crying their hearts out. She looked at them in confusion.

"What happened?"

"Who's Lung," asked Mantis.
