A Fox Unknown (kung fu panda)

7. Waiting

Hello again my reader, I hope you didn't lose much interest because I got a new chapter for you, and a nice little easter egg as well!!!

An ominous figure stared out over the mountains of northern china from inside the confines of a cave. The cave from the outside looked like any other cave in the mountains of china, but this one held a secret. The lionesses eyes scanned the landscape with a deadly grace, and nothing would escape her eyes. The sound of scampering feet behind her didn't go unnoticed and when she looked back she saw it was commander dacha "mission report commander" she said as she looked back out the cave.

The commander was breathing hard and by the sound of it he was on the verge of collapse "C-commander dacha is dead" the wolf said while taking deep breaths. She turned around quickly and got a better look at the wolf in front of her and noticed that he was just a lowly lieutenant, apart of dacha's unit if she guessed right. She saw the several cracks in the wolf's armor and an arrowhead was stuck in his neck, right next to his jugular.

She slowly walked forward and stood directly in front of the injured and tired wolf "and... who killed him?" she said while she slowly put her paw on his shoulder, making him freeze. The wolf's eyes were radiating fear and his instincts were probably telling him to run "o-o-one of the furious five, t-the tiger" he said with a stutter as he look down at the ground. A frown appeared on her face and she moved her paw towards his neck, making him shake in fear "and the fox" she said quietly, letting a little hiss escaped her mouth at the end. The wolf froze as he felt her grab the end of the arrowhead and her left paw rest atop his right shoulder like a stone "t-t-the f-fox... g-got away" he stuttered out.

A low growl exited the lioness mouth and she turned around, letting go of the wolf's neck and shoulder. The wolf stood there for a second before letting out a small sigh of relief, thinking he had survived, when suddenly the arrow was ripped out by seemingly nothing. Blood splattered out like a explosion and his hands quickly went to his neck, trying to stop the bleeding. His yelps of pain quickly turned into chokes and gargles due to his jugular being cut, and he fell to his knees. Blood ran down his neck and chest, staining hair fur crimson. A few more desperate breaths for air echoed through the small cave before his strength finally left him, his arms falling to his side then falling to the ground limp.

A growl exited the lioness mouth and she dropped a string that she connected to the arrow. She walked over to her desk and picked up a small towel, wiping the blood off of her right arm. The lioness looked back down at the now lifeless wolf and threw the towel onto the body. She walked around the desk and sat down on the comfy leather chair, then pulling the string by the rock wall behind her.

It didn't take long before two other wolves and a snake came in, the two wolves immediately started to take care of the body and the snake licked up some of the blood before slithering atop the desk, trailing a little blood onto it.

The lioness sighed and shook her head "did you have to go through the blood" she said in a irritated tone. A small chuckle left the snake which turned into a pleased hiss "I alwayssss love it when you leave a body on the floor, it'll be a nice ssssnack for later" he said with the lick of his lips.

The lioness just sighed again and took out a ink pen and began to write down the report of the mission that commander dacha won't be able to make anymore. The snake slithered closer and watched what she wrote down "the fox has slipped from our grasp... again" he said with an angry hiss. A growl left the lionesses mouth as well and she almost snapped the ink pen in her hand. She took a few deep breaths before she started to write again, but this time on a different piece of paper.

She looked over at the snake and a sick smile formed on her face "prepare for an assault on the valley of peace, squads 1-11 are to lead the assault, keep to long range weapons, and... bring our secret project for a test run... I've been waiting to see what it can do" she said with a sick chuckle. A hiss of approval left the snakes mouth "anything else" the snake asked with the lick of his lips. The lioness looked back at the two wolves cleaning up the mess "the rest is on the paper" she said blankly.
