Chapter 3: separated
Noatak's POV
That night, when we were in bed, Femke finished the story she was telling us, the night before we got on that damn hunting trip. I tried my best to ignore the story. I didn't want to have anything to do with the childish stories our sister told us anymore. So I tried to focus myself on getting some rest.
Tarrloks POV
Finally! Femke is gonna finish the story she was telling us before we got on that damn hunting trip! I'm excited and scared at once. Excited to know how the story ends. And scared that our father will find out and punish her again. But I think everything will be alright if we keep quiet. All right! She is beginning, I'm gonna listen.
Femke's POV
So, aang run away. He didn't want to fight with the firelord. He got onto a strange island that floated in the middle of the sea. Only Momo, his flying lemur had gone with him. When he woke up, Aang tried to reach the spirits of his past lives to ask them if there is a way to win this war without taking the live of the firelord. But they didn't know a way to do so. At this point aang came to the conclusion that he had to destroy the firelord in order to regain peace.
At that moment, the rest of team avatar meets with the order of the white lotus. Zuko, whom had left his father and his former honor to teach aang firebending, meet again with his uncle. Uncle Iroh ore, the western dragon, told his nephew that only HE could restore the honor of the fire nation. Zuko hesitated for a moment. Because, he was in the supposition that he wasn't worthy enough, to claim the throne Iroh told him that he already restored his honor, when he helped aang with his destiny to defeat the firelord.
Back to aang, he finds out that the floating island he is on is one of the last lion turtles. This lion turtle learns aang how to bend the energy within, With this power, aang fight with the firelord. It was a very difficult fight, because the fire lord had crowned himself the phoenix king. He made very big floating ships to carry his men. Together they wanted to burn the world! So there came a new world out of the ashes…..
I smiled, remaining the story from were she had left off before the hunting trip. I did see noatak didn't wanted to listen anymore, but I didn't minded it for now, he would come around and listen eventually, when we came to his favorite part...
"Well, that's a pretty nice story, huh,"
Tarrlok and I both looked up in shock when we heard our father calling. He was wearing his night clothes and looked angrily at me. Tarrlok, who was still in my lap, shivered when he saw the frightening look our father, gave me.
"Dad, I was just telling him a bedtime story….."
I tried to think of a good excuse to get away with this one. But I knew it was no use. He had strictly FORBIDDEN talking about the avatar as some sort of hero. And that was what I did. I told them about the avatar as the hero he was. And now I was going to pay the price for that.
"Finally, now I can finally do what I already wanted to do when you first ignored my orders!"
He growled as he took a few steps towards me. Strange enough, I wasn't afraid of him. I pulled my arms close around my little brother and kissed his cheek.
"FEMKE! RUN FOR IT!" I WILL HOLD HIM OF!"
I looked up when I heard the familiar voice of Noatak calling me. When I looked up I saw what he meant. Father had a knife in his hand. But he wasn't moving… he wasn't trying to kill me! Something holds him off.
RUN FOR IT FEMKE! I CAN'T HOLD HIM ANY LONGER! HIS RISISTENS IS TOO STRONG FOR ME!"
Now I understood what he meant. Noatak used his bloodbending to hold dad away from me. Quickly I got up and took tarrlok with me too the other side of the room. I dived to the door, but when I wanted to go, I realized Noatak wasn't following us.
"Come on Noa! We've gotta go!"
I called as I looked at the exhausted look on my brother's face.
"We can all run away from him! Forever! I know how to take care of both of you! Don't worry we can go now! This is our change! "
Noatak and tarrlok now both looked at me with a penetrating gaze, torn between coming along, ore coming along and be freed from this hell at long last...
"But, what about mom?" Whe can't just leave her?"
Tarrlok asked besides me. I thought about that for a moment. I knew Yakone would be a danger for his wife as well. And certainly if we all run away. But in that case, we didn't have a choice. We HAD to go! ALL of us.
"We can pick her up later, we can't stay right now, ore we all of us will be in great danger!"
But tarrlok didn't want to listen to me. He didn't want to leave his mom yet.
"If she can't come, I can't go"
He said determined.
"Then I will stay as well"
Noatak said as he got himself next to his younger brother, and placed an arm around him protectively.
"Don't worry; I will protect him until you can come to get us! Warn avatar aang and his family! They will help you!"
I nodded and quickly kissed their cheeks.
"I will come and get you, I promise"
And with this last words, I disappeared into the dark night…

Another chapter! I hope you liked it! I tried my best to fix all the spelling and grammar errors with the spelling and grammar check. But maybe there will be an error sometimes.
