Disclaimer: What I own regarding the Tiger Saga is only the books, which I bought. Much much much love to Colleen Houck for making this amazing series!

A/N: I haven't read Tiger's Destiny so all I have is just my imagination and I hope I wouldn't find any spoilers before I get to buy it :P So this starts of with Ren and Kishan's rescue mission for Kelsey. Please bear with me about the facts details cause my memory of Tiger Saga isn't as fresh as it used to be.

Chapter I

"Hurry Ren! We've got to go!" yelled Kishan as they approached the back exit.

The building was on the verge of falling down on them and Lokesh's men were on their heels. Maybe bombing the place wasn't a very good idea but it was the only way to make sure they could leave with a headstart. They weren't ready when Lokesh hijacked their ship, but they were certainly ready this time to break in Lokesh's hideout and rescue Kelsey. The plan was to sneak in disguised using the magic scarf and bust Kelsey out without having to confront Lokesh—yet—for their main concern is the safety of Kelsey. And if they were to attack Lokesh, it might put them all in danger of being captured.

Ren hesitated and gave Kishan a sharp look. "I think I heard something."

Kishan was really getting impatient with him. If only Ren had stuck to the plan they could've left there undetected. But no. He just had to look for Lokesh which not what they had planned. In some way Kishan understood why Ren did what he did, but it was so unlike Ren to not think rationally. Ren was supposed to be the one who commands their operation, the one who gives out well thought orders, the one who makes rational decisions, while Kishan's the one who gives in to his rage and bloodthirst for Lokesh. Not the other way around.

The moment they saw Kelsey, their blood boiled with rage and the desire for revenge. She was hurt from head to toe, drenched in blood and sweat, and none of then could ever forgive Lokesh for doing that to the woman they love. But there's a time and a place for everything, which Kishan finally understood that made him withdraw his anger and just focus on getting them all out of there as safely as possible. The same did not happen to Ren though. He immediately went after Lokesh and blew their cover that led to this chase.

"We've got no time Ren! Come on or he'll catch us!" pleaded Kishan as the building shook and its ceiling collapsed.

"Just—" there was something inside Ren that told him he couldn't just ignore the sound that was calling to him. He stared at Kelsey, unconscious and wrapped around in Kishan's muscular arms then reluctantly ran back. "Get her out of here and I'll catch up!"

"Ren!" shouted Kishan, but he was too late. His brother had already disappeared within the dust and ruins of the building.
