Unholy

Chapter 2

Kya woke up in the morning to an empty bed. When she finally decided to roll out of bed she saw a note with her name on it. She smiled to herself before rolling out of bed to start her day. Before she read the note, she started to pull her dress on. Suddenly, the door was blasted to the ground. She pulled up her dress as quick as possible and turned around.

"Aunt Kyaaaaa!" Meelo screamed as he ran into the older woman. Ikki and Jinora followed right after him, almost knocking their aunt to the floor.

"Oh! Good morning guys," Kya laughed as she hugged them back tightly.

"Morning? It's past lunch time! Everyone is already up and at 'em! Everyone but you that is," Meelo said.

"Yeah...how come you've been in bed for so long Aunt Kya?" Ikki questioned. Their aunt fake laughed and rubbed the back of her head. "And why aren't you in your room? Isn't this the room daddy let the Chief sleep in?" She quickly started pushing them out of the door.

"Okay guys that's enough questions for now, how about you go work with the airbenders! That sounds like a good idea!" She said nervously. When they finally left she picked up the door and placed it against the wall. At this point Kya was finally able to read the note Lin had left her.

"Kya,

I'm sorry I wasn't able to stay in bed with you. Unfortunately Mako had called an emergency meeting. Something about a new gang in town that was worse than the triads. I'm not sure. Truthfully, I wasn't paying too much attention to what he was saying. You were the only thought filling my brain. Last night was my last time sleeping on air temple island. Maybe we could see each other tonight at my place? I'm not sure about your plans to go back to the southern water tribe, but I hope you don't expect to leave soon. I feel like we really connected last night and I'm not so sure I'm ready to part with you. It's your choice. I'll visit the island once I get off of work.

Hope to see you then,

Lin."

After Kya read the note she smiled warmly and folded it up. She decided it was time to make her way to the dining hall for some food. On her way down to the dining hall, she collided with Tenzin. Her face went red, and she avoided making eye contact. He looked equally embarrassed.

"Oh, uh, good afternoon Kya. Uh, I'm sorry for last night. I probably should've knocked." She just smiled awkwardly. Thankfully, at that moment Pema grabbed her so she could avoid saying anything back to him. The young mom pulled her into the acolyte dining hall and together they sat down.

"Is it true?" Pema asked excitedly. Kya slapped her forehead and rubbed her face.

"Can Tenzin keep anything a secret?" The older woman groaned. Pema's face twisted in confusion.

"Why would he have to keep that a secret? I was just talking about you staying on the island longer. What were you talking about?" She asked with suspicion in her voice. Kya clenched her teeth together.

"Uh, oh well, you know...if he didn't tell you then it's nothing!" She choked out. The young mom looked puzzled for a moment, and then something seemed to click for her.

"Oooh! You're talking about how Tenzin walked in on you and Lin-" Kya's hand flew up to cover her mouth with speed.

"If don't mind, I'd like to keep this quiet!" She said to her. Pema laughed quietly.

"I'm just glad you both finally did it." The older woman was taken aback.

"What do you mean?" She asked as Pema motioned for someone to bring them some food.
