Fya closes her eyes as she senses the footsteps of the Dai Li.
It's been twelve days since the eclipse.
Twelve days since she's felt the sun. They're keeping her in the boiler room where it is scaldingly hot she breathes slowly she keeps her head between her knees as the footsteps continue.
She doesn't move as a hand picks up her chin and uses a syringe to give her a small amount of water.
The bare minimum to survive.
She hears voices.
Where are they? Weren't they meeting us here?
How much will they give us for the girl?
Which one?
I think they want all of them.
They said they'd reward us handsomely.
Fya's eyes find Katara's and their eyes meet.
Fya's hands are chained above her and so are Katata's aang is trapped in a wooden box with only a vent for air.
They're each given the same amount of water and food. The door closes and the voices fade out.
They're selling us?
Fya hears Katara say. Guess so. Fya whispers.
I just want to get out of this room. Aang?
I'm here he says his voice small.
The door opens again and one of them grabs Fya and wrestles her into a metal straight jacket.
She struggles and she stands up slipping in her boots as she attempts to walk. They push her forward.
Walk. The Dai Li member says.
She straightens and walks from the room and she's forced into her knees before a few people that seem to be waiting
She's the girl? She hears a rough accented voice say.
Yes. Take it or leave it. My client will be pleased.
Where are the others? You mentioned two more. Right. Bring them out. Aang and katara are brought out in similar restraints. The man appraises them and Fya sees large amounts of gold exchange hands.
Her left eye twitches. Well the man says to masked grunts. Get them.
Fya feels something prick into her neck and then she knows nothing.
She wakes up in a small enclosed space still in her clothing and boots and her hands are cuffed in front of her. She's on her back in a small room. Weird. Her foot stretches and she smirks to herself.
Zukos dagger. She stays still and her eyes go into slits when she feels the movement stop.
She hears something open and she sees that she's in a cage of some sort and a man says hey!
One of them is awake! Hey! Doesn't matter they're powerless. Remember idiot.
They take out the cages and Fya remains emotionless and limp.
She focuses on keeping her body relaxed and unthreatening.
They open the cage and force her to stand. They grip her arms and Fya looks around and sees that Katara and Aang are restrained similarly.
Fya and Katara's eyes meet. Then Fya does the same to Aang he smiles slightly.
Fya kicks back and she turns and punches her guards together and she breaks the chains holding her hands together Katara and aang do the same and together they manage to chain the six men together and knock them out.
