War
Only as the noble holds her dagger to her own throat, with something like fear etched on her face and a few solemn tears rolling down her cheeks, does her breath catch in her throat. The moon is full and bright, and Katara wonders if Yue can see them, and if she is disgusted by the evil to which the waterbender is using both of their powers.
"Please…" the noble gasps. Her hands are shaking and Katara wonders briefly which of them is causing it.
"Where is he?" She cannot lose sight of her mission.
"I told you I don't—"
"You do know!" Katara yells, and the other girl lets out a cry as the dagger pierces her skin and draws blood.
But still, she does not speak.
"If you don't tell me what I need to know…" she whispers as she takes delicate steps closer. "…If you don't, I'll kill you."
A shaky sigh is all she receives in response. So she goes on.
"…And then, I'll search for your circus freak friend, and see if she's more willing to cooperate."
Finally, her eyes widen. Good, Katara thinks, and tries not to cry.
"And if she doesn't talk… then, I'll go after your families."
Both girls stare at each other, eyes narrowed and lips tight, trying desperately not to cry. They both know that if they were in the other's shoes, they would be doing the exact same thing. This fact only disgusts them more.
Eventually, the waterbender runs, and the noble collapses to the ground, and both cry for the things they never thought war could take from them.
Randomly found this and decided I kind of liked it, so, why not post it? So, here we are with the latest drabble concerning Katara, Mai, and whoever that mysterious "he" is that Katara's searching for. You decide.
