Chapter 16 - Boiling Rock Pt. 2

5/10/16

I walked the halls making sure to act like I was checking the cells. It was the job I was given and we needed to keep our cover now. Sokka had found his girlfriend named Suki who could help us.

My job for our team, was finding the cell I looked at earlier. And, I was standing in front of it. Clearing my throat, I unlocked the door before walking in and shutting the door.

"What can I help you with today jerks?" Her voice held so much venom in it that it made a chill go down my back. "You always were rude to strangers." I say looking at my younger sister as she turned around.

Armelle stood up looking at me with a curious look in her eye. "Why are you in a uniform?" She asked backing up a bit. "I'm here helping my friends. Armelle, I haven't put my loyalty back in this nation yet." And, within two seconds, she had her arms wrapped around me.

I wrapped my arms around her swiftly as her quite cries filled the cell. "I thought you were dead." She cried as I smiled sadly. "I thought you were dead too." I pull back holding her by her shoulders.

You must be wondering what is happening here. Armelle and I both killed. She was the one who got caught. After the house burned down, I found out I had a sister who was with a bandit group. I joined after finding out I had a sister and after I had no where else to go. It was awful work, but it put a roof over my head and food in my belly.

"I'm going to get you out of here alright. Just don't do anything to alarm people, alright?" She nods her head wiping the tears from her face. "I'll be back soon. I promise." I say kissing her head before looking out to make sure the coast was clear.

"See you soon." I whisper closing the door and walking down the hallway. That's where I met Sokka. "Zuko got caught." He whispers making my eyes widen. "What? What happened?" I ask looking around.

"He stopped someone from going into Sukis cell while I was in it." Sokka sighed before looking at the guards coming towards us. "Hey, the warden wants you to stand watch in front of a cell before he comes to it." The girl says towards me.

"Alright." I say before following them to a cell. Inside the cell, was Zuko. Idiot. "Stand inside. Don't let the prisoner up from the chair." She says before closing the door. "You're an idiot." I whisper looking at him with a small smile.

"What happened earlier?" Zuko asked as someone walked past the door. "I met my sister who I thought was dead. I thought I killed her in the fire. She was only nine months old." I lie as silence fills the room.

"I'm happy you found her." He says knowing I'm lying before the door flies open. "Well, well, well. I never thought I'd find you in here, Prince Zuko." The warden says walking in not paying any attention to me.

"How did you know who I am?" Zuko asked looking at the man in question. "How could I not? You broke my nieces heart." My eyes looked towards Zuko as my hatred and confusion comes back in full force.

"You're Mais uncle?" Zuko asks standing up. "I never meant to hurt her."

"Quite! You are my special prisoner now and you better behave because if these people found out that you're the Prince that betrayed your nation, they'll tear you to shreds." The warden says before turning towards me. "You are to keep watch over him even when he is outside of this cell."

"Yes Sir." I say turning towards him as he walks out the cell locking the door behind him. "He really meant it, huh?" I asked looking at the door sighing before leaning against the wall.

"Don't worry. There will be a break soon I think." Zuko says coming closer towards me. "Zuko, they'll think something is up." I say as Zuko shakes his head before I was trapped between him and the wall.
