Lethe's P.O.V.
'So the other earth benders are being held here,' Lethe thought to herself as the general was thinking of a punishment for her. 'It probably won't matter I'll probably dead soon anyways by starvation or execution either way I probably won't get to see the others,' she thought sadly to herself looking around hoping for any means of escape.
Lethe quietly waited for her punishment to be ordered, and was shocked when another girl her age stopped the general's order.
'Why would some fire nation girl, especially the daughter of a general, help me,' Lethe thought to herself confused as the other girl whispered in her father's ear.
Lethe was relieved when the guards released her, and she was about to run when the general's daughter took her hand and dragged her out of the tent. When they were out of the tent, there were so many fire benders it was no wonder that they had conquered so many towns.
Lethe noticed the cheerful look on the girl's face, and was really confused. 'Why is she so happy, is she really gonna get me some food, or is this some sort of sick game?' she thought, paranoia seeping into her thoughts.
Lethe was about to use earth bending to escape, but thought better of it when she saw the two guards walking behind them trying not to be seen, failing miserably. Lethe stuck her tongue out at them and quickly stopped realizing what she just did. 'I'm must be crazy I—', her train of thought was disrupted when another fire bender girl grabbed her arm.
"Well, Well, what do we have here," said the new girl sneering to herself. "You know," spoke the new girl facing the girl that started dragging Lethe in the first place, "you're not allowed to bring slaves to a camp."
'Did she just call me a slave!!? She's going to pay,' thought Lethe about to use earth bending and remembering the guards stopped and just glared at her.
Akane's P.O.V.
Grinning happily as she dragged her new 'friend' off to one of the supply tents to get some food, Akane mentally began listing all of the games that they could play. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the earth bender girls stick out her tongue at the fire nation guards and giggled.
About to do the same to them, she froze as a new voice reached her ear. 'Azula,' she thought flinchingly, turning slowly to face the older girl. 'Great'. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she realized that the fire nation princess had grabbed onto her new friend.
"She's not a slave. She's my new friend." She said with all of the courage that she could muster when facing the older girl, which wasn't a lot. Without even realizing it she lowered her eyes to the ground.
"A friend? I doubt it. There's no way that that thing would be allowed into camp if the general knew about it." Azula said snottily, smoothing out her kimono with her free hand.
Akane looked up slightly. "She's not a thing. And you can ask the guards yourself, they were there when he said that it was ok." She said quietly, motioning towards the guards.
As soon as the guards nodded in agreement Azula let go of the girl with a disgusted look. Without another word she whirled on her heel and stalked away towards the generals tent.
Akane watched her go in relief, happy that it hadn't resulted in a real fight. Letting out a soft sigh of relief, she hitched a smile back on her face and turned to the other girl again. "Sorry about that. That's Princess Azula, and don't mind her she's just a-" she paused as she noticed the guards watching her and moved closer to the girl so that they couldn't hear her, "a giant spoiled pain." She finished in a whisper, eyeing the guards cautiously.
The guards didn't hear the last part, and she grinned again. "Ok, now to get you some food!" she said, dragging the girl past the food supply tents for the soldiers and guards. "By the way, my name is Akane." She added as an after thought, pulling her friend into the tent that stored food for the higher-ranking officers. "The food in here is MUCH better than the stuff that you got into before." She said, motioning lazily around the tent.
Unlike the other tents that stored the soldiers and guards food, which only had some basic stuff like potatoes and unsalted meats. This tent had finer foods, like marinated meats, cakes, sweet drinks, and some other things in it.
"Take whatever you want to eat." Akane said, reaching out and grabbing a cake and apple juice for herself. She settled back and munched quietly on her food, the guards standing stiffly outside the tent, not allowed to come into the tent due to the fact that they were only lower-classed guards. Only higher-ranking people were allowed to enter the tent unless it was said otherwise.
