Ba Sing Se Boarding High

Feeling Trapped?

*Aang POV*

The date with On Ji went great. Wonderful! Never could've been better! Totally didn't make me super uncomfortable the way she kept making suggestive looks at me. Didn't make me nearly barf in her mouth when she stuck her tongue in mine. That'll never pass. Sokka was right. Everyone was right. I hated it. I'm an idiot. Why did she have to get on top of me? Was it really necessary for her to take my pants off? She put her hands all over me. I hated it. And then when I told her it made me uncomfortable, she just smirked at me and kept going. Where's the nearest trash can? I can't think about barfing. I need to get back to the dorm first. Luckily, no one is here. Why didn't I just listen? On Ji slapped me when I told her why we couldn't keep going out. I collapse on the bed without taking my shoes off. 

Sokka walks in about half an hour after did. 
"Aang? You okay?"
"You guys were right. I'm an idiot,"
"No, you're stubborn as fuck and needed to find out the hard way," He climbs up on the bed. 
"I didn't like the hard way. I almost puked in her mouth," I sit up and put my head in my hands. 
"Well, now you know," He pulls the shoes off my feet. 
"You don't have to do that," I say.
"Yes, I do. I think I know why you didn't listen,"
"Why?"
"Because you never get enough sleep. Your brain doesn't respond properly when you're tired,"
"That would make sense," I say. Zuko walks in.
"I guess you found out," He says.
"Zuko, don't be a bitch. You can go to the GSA without me. I'll stick around with Aang,"
"Okay. See you when I get back," Zuko walks out the door. Sokka keeps consoling me. I still feel like an idiot, but not as much as before. At least I don't feel like barfing anymore. All of a sudden, everything goes black. I notice Sokka pass out beside me before I lose consciousness. 

When I come to, I can move. I look down. I have a straightjacket and a muzzle on. What the fuck just happened? Something catches my eye. Sokka is to my left, chained to the side of the room. At least I wore my contacts today. Maybe if I squirm enough I can get out. Sokka wakes up as I'm thinking that.
"Where the fuck are we?" I glare at him. Does he expect me to talk? "Oh, I guess you can't answer. We can't even talk through sign language," Duh. "Maybe I can find something to get us out. I can still use my feet," He moves his legs towards me. He's too far. I can't move. If I could, I'd find a way to bend us out of here. Wait, I can do something! If I concentrate enough I can... "Wait! Don't try activating the Avatar State. If you do, it could kill both of us," Fuck. There has to be something I can do.

Someone walks into the room.
"Ah, you're both awake," He says.
"Where the fuck is this place?" Sokka yells at him.
"500 feet above the ground," He says.
"We're in a plane?" Sokka says.
"En route to the Fire Lord's palace," Fuck. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. He leaves and sneers at me. Sokka seems to notice me hyperventilating. 
"Aang! Calm down! We need to stay calm if we want to escape," How the fuck are we supposed to do that? "We just have to wait till we get there. I've seen you with a glider. If I can find something as a substitute, we can get back," Okay. Maybe that can work. "All I have to do is break you out of there when we arrive. You'll have to grab me and RUN!" Got it. Just stay calm till then. "I'm going to stop talking now so they don't hear our plan," More like his plan, but that's okay. I smell smoke. My brain goes into overdrive. I can't have a panic attack now. Really really bad timing. Breathe. Breathe!

When I come too, Sokka is screaming.
"Come on! We're about to land," Back to focusing. "I found you a glider. Once he sets me free, I'll get you out and we have to run over there," He points his foot towards an airbending staff. Lucky. I have a bad feeling that they got it as a souvenir from the raids. I have to stay focused. 
"Alright, let's go," The guy undoes Sokka's chains. Sokka kicks him in the balls and quickly frees me. I run to the staff and find the closest exit. I pick up Sokka and run. I open the door. We're still flying. I take a deep breath.
"Climb on top and hold on tight!" He does as told. I jump and airbend under my glider. If I can just find land, I can orient myself and we can get back to Ba Sing Se. They're shooting fire at my feet. 
"What do we do?!" Sokka yells.
"Tell me which way to move away from the fire!" I yell back. 
"Left!" He screams. The fire nearly clips us. If the glider gets touched by even a spark, we're going down. "Right!" Another close miss. I need to stay calm. "Go forward as fast as you can!"
"What!?" 
"JUST DO IT!" I obey. The fire singes my toes. OWWWWWWWWW!
"You could've told me to go up!"
"I was panicking!" 
"Did we lose them?"
"I think so,"
"I need to land. I have to figure out the way to Ba Sing Se,"
"Do it fast before they find us," I spot an island. 
"There!" I go down. Once we've landed, Sokka pulls out his phone.
"They didn't take it. Thank Tui and La I have data,"
"Go quickly. It's only a matter of time before they find us,"
"Okay. Want the good news or the bad news first?"
"Good," I keep scanning the sky.
"It's to the east,"
"And what the bad news,"
"It's over the ocean with very few islands,"
"Fuck! We don't have time to complain. Climb back on!" I see the plane coming to land on our island. I jump. We don't have much time.

We've been flying for hours without any sign of land. I'm starting to get tired. I need to stay awake. The plane stopped following us at least.
"Look! An island!" Sokka points down. I try to land gracefully, but we end up crashing.
"Fuck. Oww," My arm is killing me. Sokka looks at it.
"Your arm might be broken," 
"Can you call for help?"
"I haven't got a signal. And even if I did, those guys would probably track the call," 
"So we have to keep flying. I don't know if I can fly with a broken arm,"
"You'll have to try!"
"Shut the fuck up Sokka! I've been flying for hours! I'm exhausted. If I try to fly with a broken arm, we'll land in the ocean and DROWN!" I scream. Tears are falling down my cheeks. 
"You could waterbend us back?"
"Did I not mention that I'm exhausted? Bending would probably kill me," 
"We could stay for the night,"
"We'll miss school," I'm being stupid, but I can't afford to fail.
"That seems like the least of our problems right now. Your feet are horribly burnt, your arm is broken and I think my ankle might be too,"
"We can't do anything like this. Even if we sleep, we'll probably still die from hypothermia,"
"Can't you heat the water?"
"Not if I get too cold,"
"We'll figure it out in the morning. You need to get sleep. I'll stay up and watch. I can sleep while you fly,"
"Sounds fair," I say before passing out.
