Book Two: Earth
Chapter 12: The Serpent's Pass
It was dark. Sokka was sitting on a rock the moonlight. Suki walked up behind him and put her hand on his eyes.
"Guess who." She whispered in his ear.
"Hi Suki, babe." He said gently pulling her hands off his eyes. He gently led her over to sit by his side.
"Is everything okay?" Suki asked with concern as she sat close beside him. "You know Sokka; I'm always here for you." She said sweetly leaning against his arm. She started to put her hand up his shirt.
"Suki stop!" Sokka knocked her hand away. "I'm sorry. It's just, -"
"Sokka I'm sorry. What's the matter?"
"I, I don't want to let you down too. When I was in the Northern Water Tribe there was this girl, Yue, the Water Princess. Her father trusted me," Sokka looked away and Suki could see the tears streaming down his face in the soft sweet glow of the moon. "And I-I let him down."
"Oh my gosh Sokka I'm so sorry. I had no idea." She said turning his head back to her and wiping his tears. "Sokka there is no way you could ever let me down. As long as you love me, I will always trust you and I know there is no way you could ever let me down."
"Suki I love you too, it's just, I can't. I don't-"
"Suki! Quick! They need you back in the Earth Kingdom! The Fire Nation is attacking them and they need every soldier they have! Katara and Appa are waiting to take you."
"Oh okay. Thanks Aang!" She kissed Sokka goodbye and ran to Appa. As Appa began to fly Suki looked back and waved at her. Suddenly Azula and Mai and Ty Lee showed up. Aang stood beside Sokka and Toph ready to fight. Toph was sitting on Appa so she was unable to tell they were coming. Now she was ready to fight. She could tell where they were and she dropped the cliff behind them. They fell to the ocean and drowned.
"Nice job Toph!" Aang said patting her on the back. Aang and Toph walked over to the fire and sat down. They began to get lost in talk. Sokka sat back on the rock and began to cry again. He saw Appa and Katara. No Suki. Appa landed and Sokka could see Katara crying.
"Where is she? Where is she Katara?" He ran to her crying.
"Sokka I'm sorry. I did everything I could but some of Azula's men caught her and tried to get me but I got away and I thought you and Aang could help."
"Aang come on! Let's go!" Sokka started to bark orders. Before they knew it they were on their way.
