not from around here | Zuko X OC

| chapter sixty |

Sorry this chap is so late, I stayed up for a whole night and wrote it all only for it to get deleted by Wattpad just before it was finished so I had to mourn then I saw a fat ass mouse and nearly shit myself and then I rewrote it while fearing for my life. So it was a rather traumatic.

They all stared in awe at the prisoners, mainly at Hakoda. Zuko could see the resemblance he had to his son; they both seemed strong physically and mentally. The way Hakoda was so nonchalant and calm about being in this prison showed his ability to keep a level head, just like Sokka had this whole time.

"Line 'em up for the warden!" Yelled a guard and the prisoners did as they were told, however Hakoda was unwilling to do what they wanted.

"Dad." Said Sokka, lifting his visor.
Before anyone could stop him, Sokka jumped up and pulled down his visor before running into the crowds of guards.
"Excuse me, coming through. The warden wants me over there. Sorry!" Sokka said as he weaved his way through people.

"Welcome to the Boiling Rock. I'm sure you've all heard the horrible rumors about our little island. Well, I just want to tell you that they don't have to be true, as long as you do everything I say." The warden told the prisoners as he walked in front of them. He stopped at Hakoda, who was looking at the floor.

"Look me in the eye when I'm talking to you." He ordered. Hakoda averted his gave purposely even further away.
"No." He told the warden calmly.
"Oh? You'd rather look at my shoes? Then take a look!" The warden snapped, lifting his boot and hooking Hakoda's handcuffs with it. He pulled Hakoda down onto the floor.

Saki made a move to go intervene, however Zuko put an arm on her shoulder and shook his head. They couldn't blow their cover now.

"I know exactly who you are, Hakoda of the Water Tribe. So strong-willed. But don't worry, we'll get rid of that in time. Now look me in the eye!" The warden snapped.
Hakoda slowly and reluctantly looked up at the warden and made eye contact, glaring at him.
"See, isn't that better?" He then spoke to all the prisoners. "You will all do as I say or pay the price. You will all-" The warden's boot was still caught on Hakoda's handcuffs and the warden fell face first on the floor.

Saki and Suki both clamped hands over their mouths and tried to stifle their giggles.
They caught each other's eye and that was all it took to set them off. They both burst into fits of giggles and did whatever they could to try and stop. Zuko glared at them as they both wheezed as quietly as they could.
"Alright that's enough." Zuko said, grabbing both of them and putting a hand over both of their mouths. "You'll blow our cover." He warned.

Saki and Suki wheezed their apologies and managed to contain themselves, looking back over at the warden and the prisoners.
Zuko stayed in between them to stop any messing around, however they made eye contact across him again and put hands over their mouths to try and stop their laughter.

"It's not even that funny." Zuko said to them, exasperated at their antics.
"I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Saki said, finally getting her composure back. Suki did the same and they looked back at the warden again. He had said something and marched away and the prisoners were being led to their cells.

The door to Hakoda's cell opened and a guard walked in. Hakoda stood, an angry look etched on his face.
"Thank goodness you're okay." The guard said.
"If you take one step closer, you'll see just how "okay" I am." Hakoda warned.

"Dad it's me." Sokka grinned, lifting his visor so he could see his face.
"Sokka!" He exclaimed, pulling him into a hug. "You know Sokka, you should be more careful with that guard outfit on. I almost punched you in the gut." Hakoda laughed.
Sokka sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, I ran into that problem earlier." He admitted, thinking back to Suki.
