Chapter 1- Stop Yelling
Sokka sat on the edge of his bed, wrapping his forearms in white bindings. He wore his sleeveless blue tunic, dark bue pants, and black boots. His hair was in its usual wolf tail, and his replacement weapons were strapped to his back. Concealed in his right boot was a dagger.
"I don't understand Sokka! You live with me on Kyoshi Island, but you spend all of your time with Toph!" Sokka looked up, annoyance clouding his eyes.
"Suki, we've been through this," he calmly stated. "I promised her parents that I would protect her. We have sources that suggest an assassination plan on-"
"On Aang, Sokka! This has nothing to do with your grubby little friend!" Sokka stood up and kissed Suki's cheek.
"I'm going for Aang too. Are you coming or not?" Suki sighed and picked up her fans, following Sokka into the foyer of their home.
"Fine. But honestly Sokka, everyone except you knows that you love Toph!"
"Suki, stop yelling."
Sokka walked between Aang and Suki; Katara and Toph walked behind them, giggling about something. Suddenly, Toph summoned a sheet of rock and shoved Katara sideways. Embedded in the rock, level with the base of Aang's spine, was a steel-tipped arrow. Suki glared at Sokka while a guard seized the man responsible.
"Oh, she needs your help alright." She whispered, sarcasm a bitter venom in her words. For the briefest moment, Sokka considered her words, and then his exploded into fire. Instinctively, he threw himself over Toph. He could feel nothing but gut-wrenching pain.
A/N: So this is a really short chapter, but I promise, coming chapters will be longer. Please read and review. Sorry if Suki seemed like a bitch, but she really likes Sokka. Jealousy is a main driving force in her behavior. Thanks for reading! K.
