Coco (ATLA) (Book 1)- Major Editing Coming SOON

The Boiling Escape

These 3 are trouble. Of course I know Azula, she did ruin my life, but I vaguely remember Zuko telling me about her friends who I only recognize from Ba Sing Se. Zuko wasn't the most vocal when we were traveling together, if I'm remembering correctly. The pink one chi blocked us! I believe she is named Ty Lee. This chick has no bones! And every time we meet, she always has a smile on her face. I find it odd that she's traveling with Azula. She just seems too nice and too pure for Azula's corrupt life style. The other girl, Mai? Well, she seems cool, and really above Azula's life style. The way she fights, it's flawless, she makes it look so effortless. I see why Zuko fell for her. She's laid back, but also kinda scary. Her aim is impeccable and she can kill any one of us in 2.5 seconds with those little knives. Maybe Azula has something over them because I don't see how any one can be friends with that.

Azula and Ty Lee are on top of the other gondola trying to kill us! Yes, on top of the gondola over a boiling hot lake! I wonder what it's like being that fearless. I'm guessing you have to be at least a little bit insane.

I've been practicing my airbending with Suki when we were locked in our cell at night, and I've gotten really good. I could blow them off that roof If I were given the chance, that's all I need. I want so desperately for her to go away.

"Sokka, let me help!" I plead.

"No! You're hurt, stay here."

I huff and cross my arms over my chest in frustration. I can't just sit around and do nothing, what if one of them falls into the lake?

Zuko, Sokka, Suki, and Hakoda are now on top of our gondola fighting Azula and Ty Lee, and we... are not winning, but we're not losing either. From where I'm sitting, I can see Azula take her hand and throw a huge ball of blue fire at Zuko, luckily he redirects it towards her. Something in me wants to explode. It's like a match being lit.

"That's it!" I exclaim.

I go to stand up, but my brother immediately yanks my arm and forcibly sits me back down. I don't get it. It's just, Azula firing at Zuko enrages me! Zuko betrayed me and is responsible for uncle being taken away from me... but I don't think I want him to die, especially in the hands of Azula. My hatred for her over powers my dislike of him.

"Sorry, shorty."

This sucks.

I look at the warden who is tied up, his mouth tapped shut, and he's still being held by Rhino. He's looking at me, and I scoff. After staring at each other for a while, I move closer to him. This man has caused me nothing but pain, physically and emotionally. Finally, justice is served. I can't stand the fact that we come from the same place. I wish the rest of the world can see that we're not all bad, we're not all like him, and a lot of us are on their side.

"I hope after we're done here, I get to personally push you down the cliff side and into the boiling lake."

He narrows his eyes at me and I give him a sickly sweet smile. I'm an airbender, but as much as I want to stay true to the culture, I am still filled with rage.

"You're such an ugly man, inside and out. I'd rather get 1,000 beatings than to look at you. You had such potential to be great. You could've helped thousands and end this war, but you're nothing but a monster, and it's sad- You're sad."

He starts moving his face all around. What's he doing?

-He's trying to get the tape off!

"Rhino-"

"Cut the line!" The warden cuts me off and yells to his guards, and they do. Those idiots actually do.

They're cutting the line!
