Sorry I couldn't get this out sooner but I have other active stories that still need finished and I have been really busy lately. I'll try to get the other chapters out as soon as I can ;)
Chapter 2: Change of Location
Kuvira awoke the next morning, or what she thought was morning. She still had no idea of what time or day it was. She sat up and swung her legs over the bed. She got up and walked over to the basin of water to get a drink.
I have to get out of here, but how? She thought. She looked around the cell, trying to find anything made of metal. But there was nothing. Her head drooped in disappointment.
There's no way I'll ever get out of here. She thought. Then the door opened.
"Breakfast, Great Uniter." A guard walked in with a wooden tray of food. He set it down, then left. Kuvira sighed, she was in no mood to eat. Kuvira gasped. I might not be able to metalbend, but I can still earthbend! She thought. She looked around for something, anything, that was made of earth. But the floors and walls were wooden, the basin and tray was wooden, the bed frame was wooden, and the parts of the toilet were made of platinum. There was nothing. But then, she got an idea. I haven't showered in awhile, maybe, just maybe, I can earthbend the dirt off of me.
Kuvira had found a way to escape, but she knew she had to be careful. If she attempted to escape in broad daylight, she was sure to be captured. She had to escape in the dead of night, and she had to be completely silent. Since the guard had told her that it was breakfast, she had assumed it was midmorning.
I'll have to wait until I can be sure it is nighttime. Ok, I think I have the perfect plan. She thought.
It's time. Kuvira thought.
She got out of bed, stood up and took a deep breath. She made a couple of hand movements and little by little, a little ball of earth formed.
Well, I guess this has to be good enough. She thought.
Then, she earthbend it into a small disk, and made it spin around like a saw. Very, very slowly, she sawed a small hole into the floor. When she removed it, she was overjoyed that her guess had been correct. It was dirt beneath the wooden floor. She grabbed the pillowcase she filled with her food and water. She used her seismic sense to feel any vibrations, she felt guards all around the cell, but after a few miles there wasn't any. So, as silently as she could, she earthbent the hole deeper and deeper, jumped inside, and pulled the wooden circle back over the hole.
