Chapter 1
"Come on!"
"I'm coming!"
"Katomi you're so slow"
"Shut up!"
"No Katomi"
"I hate you Jet"
"I love you too Katomi" Jet said smirking. He walked away and went up to our tree house hut thing. I went up after Jet. Mostly everyone was asleep.
My names Katomi. I have black hair that goes to the middle of my back and grey eyes. I'm the second oldest in our group the Freedom Fighters, being 15. I'm second in command too because I've known Jet since I was born. We come from the same Earth Kingdom village, and our parents were killed the same night by the Fire Nation. I share a hatred for them, but not as much as Jet.
I felt a tug on my pants. I looked down and saw The duke. I kneeled down.
"I can't sleep" He said.
"Aw, come here" I said opening my arms for him to get into them. He obliged and I hugged him.
"Tell me a story Katomi"
"Ok but let me go find Jet alright?"
The Duke nodded.
"I'll meet you by your bed in a few minutes alright?"
"Ok"
The Duke let go of me and he walked to the hut he shares with 5 others. I wondered towards the kitchen, where I knew that Jet most likely was. I was right. He looked up when I walked into the room.
"What're you doing?"
"I was just checking on you"
"Katomi you don't have to"
"I know, but I want to"
"I don't want you to worry"
"I'm not, I promise. The Duke's up"
"Is he ok?"
"Yeah he said he can't sleep"
"What're you going to do?"
"I'm gonna go tell him a story, but I think I've already told him all I know"
"You baby him Kat"
"Well he's only 8 and he—he" Tears welled up in my eyes.
Jet hugged me "it's ok"
"I miss them so much Jet!"
"I know…I know"
Five minutes later I calmed down. I smiled at Jet weakly.
"I—I better go, yah know see The Duke"
Jet nodded and kissed my cheek. I walked out, blushing. I hope he didn't see me blushing, he'll never let me live it down.
I walked into the hut and sat down besides The Duke. He smiled at me. I smiled back.
"What story do you want me to tell you?"
"The one about the boy that lived in the wood"
"Alright" I started telling him the story and about ten minutes later The Duke was asleep. I got up gently and quietly left the room. What I didn't see was Jet watching me the whole time, smiling.
