Chapter 4
It had been a dreamless sleep and a peaceful one was well. She had been too tired to even think of waking up then again she had to at sometime. Once Lifen began to get her consciousness back she felt her body on a comfortable surface while her head lay over a even more comfortable one. Her mind being too hazy made it difficult for her to figure out what they where exactly then again she didn't care as long as she was comfortable at the moment. Suddenly a warm scent reached her nose that caused her to move her head slightly up without opening her eyes.
It was a sweet delicious smell that made Lifen's mouth water and her stomach give a rather loud growl. The smell soon vanished which made Lifen frown she moved her head back down. The smell soon returned only this time it stayed longer, much longer. Lifen tried to figure out what was causing that delicious smell, she wanted to take a bite off of it yet again her body felt to tired to even move her head a couple of inches. There was no sound around from what she could tell slowly opening her eyes she came face to face with a dumpling. Her stomach growled louder as she stared at it provoking her to lean forward and devour it.
Slowly licking her dry lips she lifted her hand up, once her hunger won over her tiredness that is, and took it. If it were possible her eyes would've shot light from them from how content she was. Without another second to spare to ate it in record time.
"Mmmm…" she smiled letting her head fall back down to whatever it was it had been laying upon. Lifen closed her eyes still tasting the dumpling that was now long gone. It had been the tastiest thing she had had in months.
"So I see you're finally awake" a males' voice suddenly made her snap her eyes open in alarm. Lifen gazed right into a pair of emerald green eyes. Without really thinking she gave a scream and soon a head butted the person in front of her. Rapidly getting on her wobbly legs she tried to get away from the person as fast as her legs and the surface she now stood on would allow her. She heard a heavy thump behind her yet she didn't turn. Looking down she noticed she had been on a couch, jumping over it she looked around looking for an exit yet found no door.
She paced back and forth desperately looking for a door. Observing the place she noticed it was an attic.
"A trap" she thought with a gasp. Not giving much thought on the body that was now standing up she continued to look for a door but was just looking at walls and big windows she thought of the option of jumping through the window but quickly discarded it thinking she would get more hurt than safe.
"Ouch! That hurt" the person said making Lifen turned towards them in a fighting stance.
"It'll hurt much worse if you don't tell me the way out of here you kidnapper!" she glared up at the male who rubbed his forehead. He raised a thick brow confused.
"Kidnapper? Now why would I be such a thing?" he asked seeming utterly confused.
"Don't act all innocent on me! Tell me the way out!" Lifen yelled and charged at the male swinging a fist. He easy dodged it and got a hold of Lifen who had stumbled forward.
"Hey take it easy! You'll get hurt, you're still not fully recovered!" the male retorted gently pulled Lifen to stand normally. Still she tried to hit him but he once again easily dodged every hit. It was then that he lost sight of her for a second that she then jumped on his back and tightened her arms around his neck.
"Alright since you're not going to let me go you're going to be history kidnapper!" Lifen held tighter and tighter as the male tried to get her off of his back. He walked next to the couch and got a firm grip on her arms. Afterwards her flung her on it and made her land over the sofa. Taking a deep breath the male rubbed his neck.
"Woah lady you got a strong hold!" he said in surprise. Lifen lay on the couch looking up at the wooden ceiling in confusion. He was certainly a soft kidnapper. Getting back on her feet she turned to face him.
"Try as you might you can't keep me here! I'll take you down!" Lifen got in a fighting stance yet again facing the male. He sighed running a hand through his dark hair.
"I'm guessing you hit your head before you passed out on the street?" he questioned looking at her as she still stood in a fighting stance. Suddenly a little red fur ball jumped out from what looked like a pile of clothes. It ran up towards the male and climbed all the way up to his shoulder. Lifen looked at it squinting her eyes. It had a long ferret like body covered in red fur. Red rings of fur decorated its light colored tail. The small creature stared at Lifen tilting its small face to the side.
"Hey Pabu, say hi" the male smiled at the creature scratching its head. Lifen looked at him with a expression that even she didn't know what it was. Straightening her back she glared at the male.
"Why aren't you taking me serious?" she protested stomping the ground annoyed. The male turned back to her raising a brow.
"Huh?" he stared in confusion. "What do you mean if I'm taking you serious?"
"You're a kidnapper! Yet you act like nothing is going on?" Lifen growled before her legs gave way on her again. She fell on her bum almost falling back.
"Easy there!" the male quickly made his way to her side. Getting a hold on her she gently lifted her up and sat her on the couch. "I told you that you still hadn't gotten your strength back didn't I?"
Lifen now couldn't help herself and smacked a hand on her face. "Okay seriously…who are you?" she raised her bright green eyes to meet with the emerald ones of the male.
"The names' Bolin" he replied with a smile. Lifen froze in place not lowering her hand from her face her gaze fell back down towards the ground. Why hadn't she remembered?
"Bolin…" she thought starting at the ground. Her team had gone up against his team in the past and they had seriously gotten defeated by them. Now she hoped for him not to remember her since she never really took her helmet off around other people in fear that they would know who she was and word would get to her mother.
"Oh…" was the only thing Lifen said before lowering her hand down to her lap. The little red creature jumped up on the hand rest of the couch and stretched its little neck trying to sniff Lifen. Lifen glanced at it scooting back a bit.
"Oh this is Pabu!" Bolin held up Pabu in his hands and put him close to Lifen. That was when Pabu took the opportunity to get a good sniff.
"Hey…Pabu" Lifen lifted a hand up but quickly retreated it when Pabu licked it.
"Hmm, seems like he likes you" Bolin gave a hearty laugh brining the ferret down to his lap.
"Heh…." Was the only thing Lifen could manage to say. She glanced down at her lap pain spread to her head from a rising head ache.
"I bet you're hungry aren't you? What would you like to eat." Holding Pabu in his hand Bolin stood up getting a brown paper bag. "I got some more dumplings here if you would like some" he offered. Lifen turned her gaze up at the bag, her stomach growled. With a sigh she lifted her hand up shaking it.
"Oh no I'm okay. You eat 'em" she replied gazing out of the window.
Bolin raised a brow "Are you sure? They're still nice and fresh" he offered yet again.
"I'm fine" was the only thing Lifen said. Just then she turned towards him.
"Where are we?" she asked. Bolin finished eating a dumpling before he answered.
"We're in my…home" he replied with a grin.
"Your home?" Lifen titled her head to the side. Bolin nodded.
"Yep, the great comforts!" he stretched his arms out to the sides still with his wide grin. Lifen stood up from the couch going around the table that had been set up infront of her. Pulling her messy hair away from her face she looked around. It still looked like an attic to her.
"Erm…do you think you can show me the way out? I need to get home…" Lifen questioned turning back to him. Bolin looked confused bringing his hands back down to his sides.
"Sure I can… but aren't you still not recovered from whatever happened to you?"
"I am recovered" Lifen lied. "Even if I wasn't I still have to find my mother and go get my sister." Lifen looked down at the ground clenching her fists together.
"What do you mean? Did something bad happen to your mother and sister?" Bolin asked concern in his voice. Lifen wasn't sure whether or not to say what had happened to him then again he could have some idea of the equalists.
"In a way…have you heard of some group called the equalists?" Lifen glanced up at him to see Bolin's eyes widen.
"Did they take your mother?" he asked still with wide eyes. Lifen gave a slow somewhat scared nod.
"Is she a bender?"
"No. She's not" Lifen replied raising a brow. Bolin gave a deep sigh in relief. "Why?"
"Because you see those equalists are taking the benders-"
"Because they hate us?" Lifen cut him off mid sentence. Bolin gave a nod.
"Yes, are you a bender?"
Lifen nodded "Yes…why?"
"Oh no" Bolin placed a finger to his chin deep in thought.
"Is that bad? I know they hate us for whatever reason…"
"It's not that" Bolin shook his head. "You should really not go out and be caught. Their leader can take…well their leader can somehow take away a benders' bending ya know"
Lifen stared at him dumbfounded for what seemed like hours when in reality it was only seconds. "Take away….bending? How? That's impossible!" she retorted. Bolin walked past her opening a door on that was placed on the ground. The door to the way out.
"Listen I'll help you go get your sister and your mother if you would like to. On the way I can explain what I know to you" He said leaving the door open waiting for her to move. Lifen wanted to say something about his brother, Mako and if he would be worried if Bolin left without saying anything. Then again she had to act as if she didn't know him much less that he had a brother.
"You would really help me?" Lifen asked.
"Of course" Bolin nodded. "Anything to help get a family back together."
Lifen thought for a second before she nodded. "Alright. Thank you"
Phew xD he's going to help. Aww what a gentlemen. Don't worry he obviously doesn't leave without noting Mako first xD.
