Chapter 10: Wake Up Call
Katara groaned lightly as she felt the shackles on her wrist she opened her eyes, with great effort, and glanced to her right. Aang was seated there with his head drooping, he was obviously unconscious, and it was the smoke trailing from a liquid on the floor that was the cause. She deduced this by glancing at it and using her powers to move a slight amount of the light blue vapor drift to her nostril. A few moments after she whiffed the sent she felt extremely light headed. "Hang on Aang…" She whispered as he tried her best to move the liquid with her bending, but her hands were well chained.
"Katara, are you awake?" came a voice form a wooden create to the left. It was Toph's tones that rang in her ear, and she felt her chains fall as the stone behind her shifted and dropped the pin, she fell to the floor at first from the weight, but a few stone spikes broke the shackles and freed her hands. She rubber her wrist and glanced over at the box.
"How did you do that Toph, aren't you in a wooden box?" Katara babbled after gaining her bearings. She stood and looked through the holes in the box, to see Toph's fingers sticking through a few air holes in the crate. "I see, not the smartest are they…" she chuckled triumphantly as she moved her hand to bend the liquid into an orb to the left, hoping Aang woke up soon, as it seemed Toph was a little weak, she hadn't freed Aang so she must have passed out after saving her. She used the liquid to cut the crate open and then looked into the shadows, she freed Teo from his chains but was unable to find the others in the small room.
"Aang… Aang, wake up…" Katara whispered to the sleeping avatar, trying not to wake anyone nearby, she doubted highly that they were unguarded; Aang however wasn't waking to anything, and wasn't shackled either. She tried shaking him more and more, but nothing happened. She tested his pulse… nothing, and she noticed he wasn't breathing either.
"AANG!!!" Katara cried, however she was still amazingly quiet, her voice wasn't working and she felt horse. Her tears began to flow before she had time to even think, and she began to become hysterical. Using whatever moister to try and use her healing. She was coming up empty until she thought of something. She had been told of a perfume produced by air nomads for medical surgeries that shut the body down completely. Her healing master at the North Pole said that there was only one way to wake the people affected by it.
"Aang…" she whispered as he leaned in and kissed him, she closed her eyes and held there as long as she could hold her breathe, this was like the moment she had first kissed him and the earth stood still. AS she was finally forced to break the kiss she began to realize that he still wasn't responding. As she turned away and began to sob a cough escaped the avatar's mouth.
"K-Katara, are you there?" he asked, feeling her hand squeezing his and hearing her sobs told him all he needed to know. "Where are we?"
"We are in a prison I think… Toph and Teo are out, and I haven't been able to tell anything else." Katara managed to choke through sobs, but she quickly broke out into a full break down as she flung her arms around him. "I thought you were dead… again…" Katara choked.
"I'm sorry." Aang said as he held her close. However as they were about to kiss once again a large slab of stone shot up to separate them, and a fist quickly came to punch Aang as he flew a few feet into a corner.
"That's for making both of us worry so much TINCKLETOES!!!" Toph shouted loudly at Aang. Katara looked like she was the one who just got hit and from the corner Teo could be heard laughing.
"SHHHHH! Toph we don't want anyone to know we are conscious!" Katara whispered.
"You think I wouldn't know if there was anyone around Sugar Queen!" Toph spat back. "Now get Aang off his tattooed but so we can get going! The others are just down the hall."
"Right, let's move…" Aang said through a dizzy head and hysterical laughter.
"Great Toph, you made him even nuttier then he was before." Katara sighed as she headed over to help him up. Toph headed over to help Teo roll out. As they all headed out of the cell room Katara stopped and gathered up the perfume into an orb of liquid, froze it, and pocketed it. "Never know…" she reasoned. Toph was not as quiet when came to the steel door to the next room over, where the others were being held, and kicked it open without hesitation. They fanned out and began releasing and waking their friends, Zuko was like Aang and Mai was like Katara, freaking out over the death like symptoms that her love was exhibiting. Normally she was like stone, but not when it came down to Zuko.
"Just kiss him Mai, he'll wake up… Aang did." Katara said with a blush, and once again Sokka fumed at the thought of his little sister with Aang. And once more that thought was driven out by a kiss from Suki.
"Look for any excuse wont you." Sokka said with a smirk. Then he glanced at the group in the room, taking a head count he figured one was missing. "Where's Master Iroh?" Sokka blurted out without thinking. Fire blossomed from the right. Zuko was not happy his father figure was missing.
"Chill Flame head… I can see him a few floors up, but it won't be easy getting to him…" Toph said as she sat down and be can using earthbending to plot the rescue for the others. "Any questions?" she asked.
"Yeah… what are we still here for?" Zuko hissed as he walked out of the room in a flaming rage.
