First strike

Chapter 14: first strike

"Gallop, Midnight! Gallop!" I yell over the rush of the wind in my face. I grab onto the reins and saddle as we all head full speed ahead to the jail. "Woah!"

"We're here" Brother Falspar said dismounting his light brown horse, Marshal.

"No dah, Sherlock!" Veronica snapped at him sarcastically. He glares at her as she returns the glare and they both look like they are going to get into a big fight.

"Guys! STOP IT!" I yell getting in between the two of them. I growl at both of them, a trait I had gotten used to doing to get people to stop. They both widened their eyes in surprise at how serious and angry I was. They immediately stopped arguing and they both apologized.

"Well... how are we supposed to get in?" Lora asked. Without answering I put my hands together pointing my fingers at the wall. I pulled them apart with great difficulty but as I did the wall spread apart leaving a crack large enough for all of us to fit through. Veronica went in first followed by Lora and I. I turned to Brother Falspar but he was looking off into the distance not even looking at us.

"Aren't you coming?" I asked getting his attention. He whipped his head around, spooked because he had not been paying attention.

"No. This is where we say good-bye, my friends" he replied lifting one of his hands.

"No!" I whispered shocked and stupidly reached my hand through to try to grab his hand as it fell down and the crack sealed... with my hand still inside! I was met with intense pain as the wall shut and I opened my mouth to scream but quickly Lora covered it. Slowly she pulled her hand away when she was sure I wouldn't scream and set herself up in front of Veronica who was on the other side of me. Together they grabbed my arm getting ready to pull. I couldn't bare the pain so I closed my eyes and bit my lip. They pulled one, twice, three times and yet my arm was still stuck. They were getting ready for another pull but was interrupted by a voice.

"Stop! You are just going to make it worse then it already is!" A girl who sounded about my age hissed from above. Gently she floated to the ground and yes I mean FLOATED! She was controlling the air below her. Without knowing Lora and Veronica pulled to try to get closer to her not remembering they were holding on to me.

"Owwww!" I let out a silent scream. The girl had just landed ,and she looked over at me.

"Are you ok?" She asked with a worried expression on her face.

"I'm stuck" I said shedding a few tears.

"Well I've noticed this" she replied chuckling "give me a second"

"O-Okay" I said scared. She put her hands to the back of her side and flipped them forward. Instantly a gust of wind went into the hole that my hand and lower arm were stuck in. It pushed me out from the front and I was sent tumbling. I stopped and looked up to see the girl. She had grass green eyes and a light shade of red and brown hair. Then I noticed a scar on her right leg. It was just like the one the air bender had! But she couldn't be... could she? As If knowing what I was thinking she smiled and spoke to me.

"Hi. I'm Shaina" she said "and I'm your new air bender!"

Oh my god! I dedicate this chapter to BoOkWoRm90012 because they were pushing me to update and pushed me to make this long update.
