In The Fire Nation (For Now)

Day 3- Meetings (part 3)

Warning: Contains swearing, blood, violence, and kisses. 

KATARA'S POV:

Dear Katara, 

I suppose I could've given this to Zuko, but I know he's busy, so just give this to him later, please. I just wanted to tell you one thing, and when the time is right you will know what I mean: Ran and Shaw. 

Please don't do anything until you all finish with the Colonies. The world comes first, and I don't have the strength to follow you guys around. I love you all.

"Ok, what the fuck do you mean?" Zuko asked, getting up and walking over to Toph. Mai followed him, then Aang, then I got up and followed them. 

"Meeting's over, idiots," Aang said, turning to look at everyone at the table before I followed him out the meeting room. 

"I'm serious! She's not in the whole castle, and Sokka and Tylee are outside right now looking for her!" Toph exclaimed. She didn't use Sokka's nickname....

"I- ugh!" I said, handing Aang the paper in my hands. I suddenly felt a wind motion over my head, and something landed on my nose. Something big. 

"Hawky, get off her nose," Toph said. I gasped and closed my eyes in fear. "Get. It. Off. Me," I said, trying not to freak out. 

"On it," Aang said. The bird's pressure slowly started to lift off, but I felt it's legs scratching at my nose, and I screamed in pain. 

"Ouch! Get it off!"  I said. The bird completely left my nose, and I clutched it in pain, feeling a sticky, liquidy, substance all over my hand. 

I slowly removed my hand, and I saw the dark red blood all over me. "Oh, shit," I muttered, making some water out of thin air. 

"Bend the blood off," Toph said. I water-whipped her. Then I did what she said. "Can I leave it on the floor?" I said. Zuko nodded. "We'll fix it later," he said, running a hand through his hair. 

"Let's just go," Mai said, running off as we all followed her. I put some now glowing water on my nose and held it there as I ran. 

"Where's Azula?" Aang asked. "Making breakfast. It's barely 5 am, you guys. And we're leaving today," Toph replied. I smiled. Finally. 

"We can't leave, Tara's not better yet," Aang argued. I slapped his upper right arm and he rubbed it as we continued to run. "I'm perfectly fine," I said. Aang rolled his eyes and I pinched his skin a tiny bit. 

"Again, married couple," Zuko said. I shot an icicle at him and he rubbed his shoulder. I rolled my eyes. "Baby," I said. "You're one to talk." 

"Hey, I was voting against waiting. I can fight with a few bruises," I defended. Mai gasped, and we all turned her way. 

Suki.  She was lying on the floor, blood trickling out of her leg. With an arrow shot in it. Sokka was next to her, holding her dearly. 

"Kat, do something!" someone screamed, I was to shocked to make out the voice. I just stood there like a mannequin, seeing my best friend... is she even alive? 

"Sokka..." I started. He nodded, understanding me. "Hurry up," he choked, leaving her on the floor in her own blood. 

"I don't have Spirit water," I said. "Here's your locket. Do something," Aang said, giving me the empty locket. It was heavy. 

"It's full," I said. Yue's not even in the sky anymore, how-? 

"Just do something already!" someone screamed. I slowly bent down to my sister on the floor, not daring to touch her if it wasn't with water.
