The Secret Plan

The room was lit only by a single flickering torch on the wall, which illuminated the feet of the girl hanging by a rope from the ceiling. Below her, Azula and Mai whispered conspiringly, paying no heed to the lifeless body above them.

"You know the plan, right?" Azula asked sharply, glaring at Mai. "If you don't do as I say, you'll just end up like Ty-Lee," she said, gazing up at Ty-Lee's body for a split second before returning her eyes to Mai's own.

Mai nodded. "I know." She exited the room and closed the door, leaving Azula in the half darkness.
