Under Lake Laogai
This story was originally planned as a twosome, and ended up being a threesome… which is even better when you consider who's involved. Avatar and its characters do not belong to me and I make no profit and claim no ownership to the characters within.
This story deviates from the original plot of Crossroads of Destiny just a bit. Azula has been taken into custody and is now prisoner in Ba Sing Se, and Long Feng has control of his Dai Li, rather than the Princess. This story grew from a conversation and eventually a rp with my love and dearest friend, Raine Kain, and I expanded on it and modified it, making the masterpiece you see before you.
A moonlight walk was lovely to Katara of the Water Tribe, and it was nice to walk in the pleasant neighborhood of the Upper Ring. She knew she was being watched by the Dai Li – all of them were – but she ignored them, thinking that since she was not doing anything wrong, she would not have to worry. Thus far, all of them had kept their noses clean as they worked on locating Appa, and gaining an audience with the Earth King.
She stopped by the small pond that sat hear the house she was staying in. She was almost done with her walk and was now on her way back home. It was rather late… but the Upper Ring was free of criminals due to the strict monitoring of the Dai Li.
Before she could make the final turn down the path to her house, gloves of rock had muffled her mouth so she could not scream, and she had been yanked into the shadows, and then the earth. There was only blackness for a good while, and her heart pounded. Even though she understood Bending very well, it still impressed her how something so solid as the Earth itself could be so easily bent to man's will at times.
She was certain she passed out for a short while, for the blackness that had overtaken her had startled her so much. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in dark – but not black – surroundings, illuminated by an eerie green glow. The air was damp, and there were several puddles of water on the floor, as well as the soft sound of dripping from somewhere behind her. She blinked several times, groaning softly as she took her bearings. And realized she was bound.
Her arms were spread out, almost like wings, with her hands covered in stone so she could not Bend at all. Her feet were unbound, and were planted comfortably on the ground. The slab of earth she was bound to was tilted back just slightly.
In front of her at a distance were several Dai Li, their hands behind their backs, their eyes hidden under their wide-brimmed hats. There was only one place she could be. Under Lake Laogai. The dampness, the eerie green glow, the Dai Li… What was she doing here? Had the others been kidnapped as well?
She demanded to know what was going on, her eyes glinting angrily as she twisted against her binds, but the Dai Li refused to answer. They stood like statues, unmoving, seemingly unthinking, as if they really were nothing more than automatons. How long had she been down here? How long was she to be held prisoner?
As if in response to her mental questions, the wall slid open to reveal the hated countenance of Long Feng as he slid into the cavernous room. She arched off the slab, renewing her struggles as he approached. He had an eerie appearance due to the darkness of the chamber and the sparse green lighting, and looked almost like a wraith that had emerged from the shadowy depths of the earth.
The Grand Advisor of Ba Sing Se entered the chilly room with a small smirk eager to have fun with his prisoner. As he came within better view of the girl, his smirk grew to a smile full of confidence and slickness.
"Well, Katara… It is indeed a wonderful thing that you could find time to join me here." he said, walking around the slab she was bound too. His eyes roved along her form, hidden as it was by the blue clothing that marked her as Water Tribe.
"What am I even doing down here? I have done nothing wrong. We've kept quiet about the War, as you've asked us to. I was merely taking a walk! Why am I being held?" Katara protested, wiggling against her bonds, trying to lift off the slab as she stared at him murderously. He loved the fire in her eyes. She was like no other woman he had ever seen and he was eager to have her. The Dai Li stood like statues, and Katara continued glaring at him as he came around to stand in front of her, his hands folded behind his back neatly. She did not like the way he stared at her.
"Why?" Long Feng asked as he gazed at her, his pale gray-green eyes locking with her bright blue ones, "Because when things come to pass, it is best you remain where it is… safe." He approached her, looking down at her as he stood there barely a half a meter from her, both hands now folded in the sleeve of his robes against his stomach. His fingers twitched to touch the girl albeit with much less clothing on her lithe frame.
She became even more panicked, and he noted her minute reactions – the sharp intake of breath, the intent gaze.
"No... I am safe with my friends. With the Avatar. Not you. You spread lies." she stated defiantly, looking lovely as she struggled against her bonds. She absolutely hated that line. It's safe, it's safe, it's safe… it was something she had heard one too many times from the Joo Dee.
"Lies?" Long Feng asked, giving what seemed to be a caring and understanding smile, "I merely state facts and opinions, it is those who refuse to listen that call those words lies."
He removed his hands from his sleeves, reaching out to caress Katara's dark cheek, her flesh smooth and warm and soft beneath his fingers. Such a lovely feeling.
"And believe me, the events that are about to happen…" his fingers trailed down her neck softly, "you are safe if you are in the midst of what shall happen."
"What... what is going to happen?" Katara whispered, her heart pounding. What was going to happen to the Avatar? He was needed to stop the Fire Nation, or Bai Sing Se would fall under the Fire Nation invasion! Was this man delusional with his'It's safe here in Bai Sing Se' line? He knew of the War, yet he tried to deny it, even going so far as to keep the King ignorant!
"You're crazy! With the Fire Nation around, nothing's safe! You have to help the Avatar, not stop him!"
He chuckled softly, letting his hand roam over her shoulder, down her chest to cup a breast as he continued to speak in a calm and smooth tone.
"We are not going to 'stop' the Avatar; unless he tries to stop us." Long Feng gave a dangerous smile, "As for what is about to happen? You will know soon enough."
She looked down at the hand that was cupping her breast, and ice crept down her spine. Even so, she remained calm, knowing that he would not react to shouting or panic, especially since she was so bound and helpless.
"The Fire Nation will take over Ba Sing Se. You saw the drill. You can't lie to your people and tell them that it's safe here." she stated, and was unable to stop from crying out when he squeezed her breast.
"That is why we need the Avatar." the Earthbender commented, massaging her breast through the cloth, then he lid his hand down to her waist, and started to untie her sash, "And you. You will guarantee the Avatar defends Bai Sing Se. He will have no choice but to protect the city, since you are somewhere within its walls."
Long Feng gave a confident chuckle as he opened her tunic, exposing her. The gaze he gave her was appreciative. She felt her stomach sink at his comment. He truly was a brilliant man, to have this scheme. It did relieve her to know he wouldn't hurt the Avatar, but still.
"So, is that all I am to you Long Feng? A pawn? Just like everyone else, including your Dai Li? Is this all some game to you?" she asked, twisting around as he started to remove her breast bindings as well, his fingers hooking into the thick linen wrap.
"A pawn, and much more." was his response as he undid her bindings, admiring her small and supple breasts. He tossed aside the cloth, letting his hands roam her exposed skin, and cupping her breasts, one in each hand.
"We are all pawns, pawns to what we desire the most."
He leaned down without warning, taking a nipple in his mouth and sucking on it firmly. She cried out and arched as he sucked on the chocolate-colored nub. The Dai Li remained silent, ever unmoving, and it unnerved her to have such an audience.
"We're being watched." she stated, wondering if he even cared about this as he relished her breasts, toying with her mounds and nipples. Such a delightful creature she was, strong and beautiful and intelligent, like no other woman he had ever seen, and she stirred his desire in a way that not even the most well-trained concubine had been able to. There was something… unbreakable within her, a tenacity not too unlike his own, that had enabled him to rise from poverty through sheer intelligence and determination, to the most powerful man in Ba Sing Se.
He continued to massage her breasts with his hand for several long moments, savoring the warm, mocha-colored flesh before pulling back. There was a noticeable flush on her cheeks, and he smirked down at her before blowing air over her breast, the trail of saliva he had left making the exhalation feel much colder than it really was.
"Exciting isn't it?" he asked with a leer as he glanced up at her, "Or perhaps you would like them to join in? If you would rather them do that than watch…"
A soft gasp escaped her lips at the mere idea of a group of men taking her before he licked her other breast. For a brief moment, that thought actually filled her with a shameful surge of arousal. To be taken by all of them... there seemed to be about a dozen or so men, and she could not help but wonder what such a experience would be like.
"But I merely jest. You're here for my pleasure." Long Feng murmured before he dipped his head down, nibbling on her nipple before sucking it into his mouth.
"No! Take me back to the Avatar, now! I refuse to be part of this!"
He ignored her for a moment as he suckled her breast much like a child would and clearly enjoying himself. His hand made its way lower, loosening the drawstring that held her pants up. Her struggles did not deter him as he tugged down her underwear, and in no time her bottom was gloriously bare, her socks and boots also discarded to make it easier to slide off her pants. Soon she was exposed in all her glory. The only reason her robe was still on was because her hands were bound to the slab, but at this point it covered nothing and she blushed as his eyes roved along her body.
One of the Dai Li came forth, and before Katara could panic or think he was going to be part of the 'show', he merely took her clothing and took a step back. Long Feng nodded before the man tossed it to the floor and let the earth devour it. Then he was back in line, as if he had never moved.
"What the... why did you do that!" she cried out, looking at the spot in the stone where her clothing had once been before staring at the man accusingly. Was Long Feng going to take her in front of these men, or would that be a private amusement when it came to that point? Why was he humiliating her in front of these men? She felt her eyes cloud with tears, and she turned her face away in shame, whimpering softly as she felt eyes on her naked form, roving over her hungrily.
Long Feng moved lower, his hands sliding along Katara's body, his mouth trailing down the valley between her breasts. He paused a moment, making a few moves with a hand. Suddenly, Katara found herself spread-eagled by bonds that had formed around her ankles, her most intimate part exposed to the leader of her captors. He stared down at her intimate areas for several moments before taking note of the tears on her cheeks. With a surprisingly genteel manner, he reached up with a hand to gently wipe away her tears.
"Fear not, I promise you will enjoy what I bestow upon you, my Waterbender."
(this part has been cut out in accordance with Fanfiction Net's no-smut policy. Full version can be found through a link in my profile.)He quickly pulled up his pants and straightened his robes before glancing around at the Dai Li who had remained impassive during the show. Smirking, Long Feng shook his head, using his sleeve to wipe sweat from his brow.
"Let me go now?" Katara whispered, slumping against the bonds on her arms as he smoothed his robes with a few swipes of his hand, looking as proper and clean as he did before but for the thin sheen of sweat on his forehead.
Because she was almost upright, she felt his seed leak out a little, sliding along her inner lips and down the insides of her thighs. She blushed, knowing that with Long Feng no longer in front of her, she was exposed again to the Dai Li.
"No…" Long Feng responded with a gentle shake of his head, smiling slightly as he looked at her. She was defeated for the moment, but he knew that she would soon have that spirit back, which was good. He had no desire for her to be a brainless servant, like the Joo Dee. He had taken Joo Dee in the past, all of them happy to obey his commands, but sex with them had been empty and mechanical.
"As I said, the things about to transpire, it is best you remain here." he explained before he turned away, and with a glance, the Dai Li knew what he wanted. Looking over his shoulder at Katara he left her with a reassurance.
"I believe I have pressing business to attend to, but you will not be left alone here." Suddenly his smirk was more sinister, "Nor will you remain in this predicament alone much longer." There was a dangerous promise to his tone, and it made her shiver, thoughts of Toph, Sokka or Aang being a prisoner crossing her mind.
"Are... you just going to leave me bound on this slab?" she asked tremulously. It was cool and damp down here and she knew that once she cooled down, she would be cold. And hungry. She whined a little in obvious discomfort, squirming against the slab as she looked up at him pleadingly.
"For a short time, I fear so." Long Feng murmured, seeming almost sorrowful about it; then with a nod to one of the Dai Li, he turned his attention back to Katara, "You will be let down from the slab sooner than you think. Food brought to you shortly, and some amount of warmth. It is chilly in here, and I wouldn't want you to not enjoy your stay at Lake Laogai."
The Dai Li that he had nodded to had left during his short conversation with the Waterbender, and returned with something in his hands. It was a soft dark green robe, not too different from the ones that the Dai Li wore. Long Feng took it from him and approached the Waterbender with it. Both of her hands were released momentarily, one and then the other, to remove her blue robe and put the green one on her. The material was thicker, and Katara found herself grateful for this small comfort.
"Do not be afraid. You are safe."
"What's going to happen?" she asked tremulously, as he closed the robe and fastened the buttons so that she remained warm and covered.
"You'll see in due time. I advise you to get some rest." His hand reached out to caress her cheek before he tucked his hands into his sleeves, folding them neatly in front of him.
Not that she had much choice there, as her hands were bound again. The slab was now angled further back, taking some weight off her feet. The robe did provide her with an amount of comfort, and she whimpered as she looked around at the Dai Li who remained. Where was Long Feng going? Did he have a habit of taking female prisoners down here and having his way with them? She couldn't help but wonder about Azula and her friends, had they suffered a similar fate? Would she ever know?
Out in the hall, once Katara was out of earshot, Long Feng spoke as he and the Dai Li stormed to their objective.
"It is time. Ensure that the others are aware that they are to strike within the hour. On my signal."
Most of the Dai Li nodded, disappearing to obey his orders. He continued on his way to his destination.
