(Rose's water tribe outfit ^^).
"Rose? You in here?" I hear Nathan's voice outside of the dark closet in which I hide.
"Go away!" I snap, burying my face into my knees. A long sigh is heard, and the closet door creaks open. I huddle closer to the wall, not daring to look at him.
"Hey, it's okay. It's just me," he coos, scooting closer. Nathan wraps me into his strong arms, and I find myself curling up into a little ball in them. He strokes my head gently.
"You should eat. You haven't been sleeping either. I'm worried about you," Nathan murmurs.
"I'm just fine," I retort, staring at the floor blankly.
"You're safe here, you know. The Water Tribe was even nice enough to let me live here again once they knew I was helping you."
"You do realize I'm still being held prisoner," I say through gritted teeth.
"They just want to make sure you're uhhh... well, you know..." He stammers, trying to find the right word.
I get up and walk out of the closet. I've got to find a new hiding place after I lose Nathan, who's following me.
"Just go away," I mutter.
"But Rose--" he begins.
He stops when I give him a threatening glare. The shadows grow deeper. My eyes flash purple.
"You're not allowed to do that! You know it's dangerous!" Growls Nathan, clutching on to my arm.
"I can't help it!" I protest, trying to wriggle away. I would use bending, but they force me to take a pill everyday that blocks my chi. Somehow I'm still able to use shadows.
We wrestle for a while, and I finally begin to cry. Nathan's hard gaze does softens a little, but he doesn't relent.
"Let go..." I croak, feebly tugging constantly.
