The Failed Escape

I open my eyes to see William snoring in the chair beside my bed. Snickering, I sit up. An evil idea forms in my mind. I swing my legs over and walk towards him. I shove him off the chair, and sit down. Gosh, it really is soft and comfy. I hear grumbling and realize he must have woken up.

"What'd you do that for?!" he asks, seeing I stole his chair.

"I wanted to sit in the chair. Duh." I say and lean back. Closing my eyes, I start humming.

"Harry Potter theme?" He looks like he's trying not to laugh. I think for a moment, then nod. I didn't know I was humming that... he looks at me for a moment more, and bursts out laughing. I frown and smack him in the arm; this is no time to laugh. And he was still on the floor. He stands up, still smiling. I'd love to smack the smile of his face, but I'm too lazy for that. All this effort will kill me one day.

"Will, I brought Lianna like you asked!" a voice shouted from outside the room. Now that I'm paying attention... There's a bed here, (mine now) a chair, (also mine) and a coffee table thing. But I don't like coffee so Will can have it. The door opens and a guy steps in. He's Indian, short, and kinda cute I suppose. He motions for Lianna to come in; she was just standing there, looking at me. She walks on in, and comes around to my side.

"What happened?! I was so worried, Kilee! Don't you do that ever again!" She says and hugs me.

"Goodness gracious, Lianna! You're gonna choke me, or something!" I say, smiling. Next time, we'd go on food scouts together. Someone clears his throat and I look to William.

"What is it?" We ask, simultaneously.

"Well... As much as I love to see a happy reunion, it's time to go." He says and turns to the Indian guy.

"Kabal, take Lianna to the café. Kilee and I will catch up with y'all later." Will says, grabbing my wrists to try to pull me out of my lovely chair. I hiss at him, but he keeps pulling. Sighing, I stand. Then, I remember I was going to leave. Using my super-awesome ninja skills, (that I may or may not have) I slide past him and run out the door. I hear a bunch of noise coming from double doors at the end of the hallway. This is the only way to go anyways. I can hear Will shouting at me to stop, but eh. I don't want to go back. I spot Lianna and Kabal, at a lunch table. It's quite huge in here. Thirty tables or so are scattered around everywhere. I run towards Lianna and nod toward the back doors with an exit sign when I catch her eye. She nods back, and stands up. Kabal says something to her, and she answers. A moment later, we're both at the exit. Will starts racing towards us with lightning speed and is next to Kabal in an instant. We burst out, and run. The doors slam, and then open. We try throwing them off, going down random hallways. Geez, this was like a maze. We had to stop when Lianna ran into some guy. Scrambling up, she apologizes, and then just stands there.

"Lianna!" I hiss, and she comes out of whatever trance she was in, and we start to run again. A blur comes in front of us, and I ram into someone. Falling to the floor, I can see who he is. William. How on earth..? He holds my wrists and glares at me. I smile smugly. He had to run. But I still want to leave. He stands, and pulls me up, grumbling about having to chase people. I tune out, and start humming again. Lianna hears, and starts snickering.

"What?" I ask her. She's full out laughing now.

"Are you seriously humming Lollipop by the Chordettes?" She says, and bursts out laughing again. I frown. It's a good song!

"Yes, yes I am." I say, and continue humming, which makes her laugh even harder. Will pulls me by my wrist back to my room. We walked through the café? Hmm. Nope, I don't remember. But I do remember something.

"NO! I HAVE TO GO BACK! WILL, WILL YOU LET ME GO? HA! I SAID WILL, WILL! BUT I REALLY HAVE TO GO!" I yell, and twist out of his grasp. He manages to get an arm around my waist. Picking me up, he drops me on my bed.

"OW! What's your problem, Mr. Grumpy?" I ask. Annoyed, he rolls his eyes, and leaves. I hear a click. Oh no he didn't! I get up, and walk to the door, trying to turn the handle, but it wouldn't budge. Oh yes he did. I will murder him! With an icicle! I sigh. Laying back in my lovely poo-colored chair, I start humming. Oh! I like this song. It's Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. I drifted off, into my dream world.

"Azula, go deliver these." A man with silver hair says. I feel myself nod, and take the gun package to Aang, Katara and Lidiveg. We say nothing as we make the trade. Money, for the package. I take the money back to the man, and he smiles evilly. I start to leave but he says to go deliver something to a Chinese-styled house. I go there, give them the package of guns, and take the money, but they push me over a bridge into the water. I black out and wake up on a futon. I get up, and overhear someone talking to the silver-haired man.

"...so she isn't to be trusted, sir." I overhear.

"She shall be dealt with immediately." Silver-haired man said. I hear a buzz on my wrist and it's my watch. I go inside and see a screen, like a movie screen. The silver-haired man stares back at me.

"I hear you're a traitor. Do you know what we do to traitors?" he asks. I gulp, and nod.

"But I'm not a traitor, I swear!" I screech, as he reaches for a 2025's style machine gun, that only rips through flesh and dissolves before getting to bone.

"I'm sorry, Azula. The proof is substantial." He says. He fires the gun, and I fly backward. The gun rips away at my mouth, breaking my teeth, and ripping my skin apart. I feel nothing though, just a small red buzz. I say red; its 'cause everything felt red. I put my hand in front of my face and my hand blocks some shots, but still, my teeth crack, and my face is still tearing apart.

And then I wake up, screaming. Will is standing there, with wide eyes. Breathing heavily, I repeat the same words in my mind: It's just a dream it's just a dream it's just a dream. Over and over, I tell myself this, but it felt so real. Of course it was a dream, Azula, Aang, and Katara are on Avatar: The Last Airbender. I can't breathe. I can't freaking breathe! I'm going to die, and I haven't seen a unicorn yet! Will takes out the same cloth he used to make me fall asleep, and I desperately shake my head. No, not right now, I'll breathe! He places it on my mouth, and I breathe in the nasty powder that makes people sleep. For like the thirtyish time, I only see black as I fall into a dreamless powder-induced sleep.

I wake up, smelling popcorn. Popcorn is amazing and I haven't eaten it in... a really long time. History lesson? Okay. Once upon a time, a group called FFA didn't like the world. FFA stands for ... Freaky Farmers of America! Or... Fun Ferrets Alone... I'm not entirely sure. Anyways, it's 2031 now and it happened four years ago, so 2028. Wait. 2027, and FFA bombed the Americas, Europe, and pretty much everywhere else. Not many people are still alive, but basically, the world is in anarchy. There are so many tribes, and rogues around that we have to watch out for. FFA destroyed the world.

I was nine when it happened. Me and Lianna, we were at school, playing when it happened. I like to think we survived using only our ninja skills, but really, it was all thanks to Lianna. She's a master mind at planning and making do. I'm good at breaking things. It's a talent. (A wink) FFA started recruiting people, and an Anti-FFA organization popped up. It's supposedly called FATE.

Fight Anarchy Terminate Evil is what it stood for. And this must be the FATE HQ!!! Oh my goodness gracious! This is bad! If FFA wanted me, and FATE took me, I'm in the middle of a-

"You're awake!" Will says, smiling.

"Eh. Nope." I say, closing my eyes. Sweet Dreams!
