When Hatred turned to Love (ATLA Zuko x OC)

Chapter Fifty-Four - The Western Air Temple

So, in this chapter along with Iris's imprisonment I'll mention some scenes from the gang in the Episode: The Western Air Temple.

Just to lighten the mood a bit :D

I know I promised only one Chapter with Iris's imprisonment but... this one would turn out really big so I had to cut it.

Enjoy!

Her sight was blurry. She wasn't able to completely understand her surroundings but the pain from her wounds was the only thing she was completely aware of. Iris had noticed someone dragging her. Her feet were too weak to keep her up and the guards had been dragging her from her injured hands.

She could say that she was in a prison, although her sight was blurry, she had a small experience in prisons and she was able to realize when she was in one.

The Fire Nation soldiers finally dropped her on the floor. Her head hit unceremoniously the metallic wall. Iris placed her injured arm on her head noticing the blood slipping down her forehead. She winced, but when she realized that the guards were about to close the door of her cell she immediately crawled towards it trying to get out. But her wounds didn't allow her to reach quick enough and the metallic door was closed and locked.

Iris got on sitting position resting her injured back on the cold metallic door and she looked at her cell. It was dark, the moonlight just fell out of a small window. There was no escape, she knew it. She let her head fall behind on the door and she closed her eyes.

She knew she'd stay there for long... It didn't matter, she needed a break...

(Next Morning)

"This is humiliating," Katara complained.

"Do you mean getting fairly kicked by the Fire Nation, or, having to walk all the way to the Western Air Temple?" Sokka asked.

"Both," Katara answered.

"Stop complaining, guys!" Aang exclaimed angrily "They took my sister... I can't believe I let this happen! We must go right back and save her!" Aang said and he tried to get on Appa but Katara stopped him.

"Aang, stop..." she said wrapping his hand and making him turn and look at her "...returning back there, is a suicide,"

"Iris sacrificed her life so we had enough time to leave. If we get back there and they capture you it would be like she did this for nothing," Sokka reasoned as they stopped walking and stood on the cliff.

Aang bent over his head retreating, knowing that his friends were right "Okay,"

"I wonder how the rest of the troops are," Teo said.

"They're probably on their way to a prison. Seems like my dad just got out, now he's going back in," Haru said.

"It was very brave what Iris did back there. She fought with an entire army!" Teo said in awe.

"It was so cool," The Duke said "But I still miss Pipsqueak,"

"I miss not having blisters on my feet,"

Aang's eyes twitched in anger, irritated from hearing his friends' complaints "Guys, I promise, another one protest and I'll-"

"Hey, we're here, I can feel it!" Toph interrupted him.
