Jetko - Honora
Chapter 9
It was night-time and everyone was asleep except for Jet. Who was keeping a watchful eye on Zuko holding his body close to his chest and wrapping his arms around the base of Zuko's belly. He may have managed to stop the bleeding but it wasn't going to hold forever. He needed to get to Omashu as soon as possible to make sure Zuko and the baby was alright. If they were still alright by then. He could trust being near her. He glanced over at a sleeping Katara. Well... he will just have to fix that if it came to it.
Jet always had his own way of solving things with violence. Well, look where that got him.
His life was a mess. He couldn't save his parents. He couldn't do anything to stop his Freedom Fighters from leaving. And now he kept letting Zuko get hurt. He subconsciously hugged him tighter.
He was hurting... His memories haunted him...
I open my eyes. I try to see, but I'm blinded by the white light...
His house, burning to the ground.
I can't remember how. I can't remember why I'm lying here tonight...
The nights he slept on the hard floor in the forest... Alone.
And I can't stand the pain.
He remembered when a soldier hit him with a ball of fire.
And I can't make it go away.
Whenever Jet touched that please where he was hit with that ball of fire, it still brought back bad memories
No I can't stand the pain.
It always brought those painful memories back.
How could this happen to me. I made my mistakes.
The time when he almost flooded a whole village. For what?
I've got nowhere to run. The night goes on as...
The choices he made are what made him today.
I'm fading away.
He sometimes did image himself fading away.
I'm sick of this life.
He hated his life.
I just wanna scream!
He wanted to scream.
How could this happen to me?
Why?
No, Jet shouldn't think about the past. He will be a father in few weeks. He will have a son or a daughter that he could teach everything he knew. A little baby that would play with his hair. A baby to sing and watch over. He looked at Zuko, smiling at him. He then traced his hands around Zuko's belly. Then jet felt a soft pressure against his hand only for a second.
Then it was gone Jet pulled back in shocked. Staring wide eye at where he felt the kick. Jet traced his hand on that please where he felt it. Then it happened again.
"It's alive, it's real." Jet whispered to himself happily, knowing that the child is still alive. He couldn't help the giddy feeling that emerged in his chest. He smiled and rubbed Zuko's belly again. Also- He couldn't hold the fox smirk that appeared on his face.
Jet felt something wet .When he looked at his hand he saw it covered in blood.
"Oh, god. Not again." He laid Zuko on the saddle trying to find the bag. "Where it is?" Jet whispered to himself.
"Looking for something?" Jet's blood froze when he heard that voice.
"I thought that you were sleeping?" Jet looked at her, angrily. Katara waved the bag in front of Jet's face.
"I will give you the bag and you will give me your guns." Katara smirked, she really liked the guns. Let them die, she didn't care. "Or I will give you the bag and I can hit Zuko once more." Jet was silent for a while, he didn't know if he should give her the guns, but he didn't want her to hurt Zuko. Jet didn't have time to answer. "I will take that as a yes!" Katara smiled sending a water whip towards Zuko. When Zuko felt the pain in his back he screamed painfully, waking everybody up.
"You bitch!" Jet yelled lunging at her pinning her to the saddle by her neck, catching her off guard.
"Hay! Get off of her!" Sokka yelled trying to pray Jet off of her. But Jet didn't listen. He just stared at Katara's gasping pale face, trying to breath for air. Aang was ready to throw Jet off the saddle with his air bending before Toph yelled.
"Jet! Zuko's bad! Really bad!" Toph yelled trying to nudge the fire bender awake. Jet seemed to blink out of his trance before looking over to Zuko. Who looked was in so much pain that his voice was mute.
He ripped the bag from Katara's hand and made his way over to Zuko. He didn't know where Zuko was bleeding from. The wound Katara gave? The bleeding from being pregnant. He didn't know. He checked the new wound. Not to serious. It had been coming from inside.
"Why did you strangle Katara?!" Aang yelled angrily at the freedom fighter.
"How long till we get to Omashu?" Jet asked sternly ignoring the Avatar's question.
"Two days." The avatar said, still waiting for the freedom fighter to answer his question.
"Fuck, that's too long. Do you know where the nearest hospital is?" Aang just shook his head.
"The nearest hospital is in Omashu."Aang looked at the fire bender.
"Katara, what did you do to him?" Toph asked.
"I didn't do anything!" Katara yelled, trying to defend herself.
"You are fucking liar! He's already in terrible shape and you still finish him like this? Are you even a human?! There is a child inside of him. A fucking child! You could at least think of that first, No!" Jet finished, trying to catch his breath.
"I'm not a human?!You slept with a fire bender! Not me! And I don't give a single fuck what will happen to that fucking child!"Katara screamed.
"Can you two be quite and help him a little!" Toph was kneeling next to Zuko trying to keep him calm.
"Oh, now you are on the fire bender's side?!" Katara laughed.
"Katara, they are only trying to find a safe place where to stay like us." Toph said, calmly. Katara then grabbed the gun.
"Somebody make a fucking move and I'll put a bullet in their head!" Jet growled, he looked at Zuko who had his face hidden.
"Ok, Kat calm down." Sokka, walking to her slowly.
"Don't you fucking move closer to me!" Katara yelled at her brother, pointing the gun between his eyes.
"What does that make you?" Katara flicked her eyes on Jet and gave a hateful glare pointing the gun at him. "The Katara I used to know before all this freak shit happened, was the strong independent women that stood level-headed and gave everything a chance. You saw the wrongs in my choices Katara, and you were happy and bright. You soothed and helped others. You said so yourself that those people in the fire nation colonies, that it was wrong to kill them." Katara face softened only a little but still held the gun pointing at him.
"BUT WHERE IS SHE NOW! Now all I see is a fucked up women. Who is even willing to kill a child that hasn't done anything! Not even born! Also is willing to kill her own friends! Your own brother!" Katara gasped.
"You're no better than the fire nation! The world is fucked up now! And the only way to get through it is to help others and stand through it day and night!" Jet yelled.
When Jet caught his breath he continued."You really are insane, Katara! You are trying to kill an unborn child. The world is really fucked up. In times like this we should fight together. No one cares if you are a fire bender or water bender."Jet finished, trying to stay calm.
"I will not trust a fire bender!" Katara yelled, pointing the gun at Zuko, then she tried to shot Zuko. Luckily the bullet only hit through Zuko's shoulder and not Zuko's heart.
"You bitch!" Toph pulled him back with her arms before he ran over to Katara and chopped her head off. "I'll kill you!" Jet shouted. Katara smirked.
"Katara... Please." Aang said.
She then looked at Zuko once more, noticing the blood under him, then she looked at Toph. Her eyes where full of tears. Then she looked at Sokka who looked pissed as hell and then she looked at Aang who was trying to calm her down. Finally, she looked at Jet who was looking at her with all of his hate. Katara dropped the gun. Sokka and Aang sighed in relief and Jet who t however, still held his glare at Katara who glared right back.
"I think you need to help Zuko, Katara." Toph sniffed. Katara was about to lash out and say 'No!' But Sokka seemed to have read Katara's mind and got to it first.
"Fix. Him." Sokka hissed out. Katara stared wide at her brother but could only flinch. She made him look at her like that. Now she was paying the price. Katara walked over and sat next to Zuko. Zuko curled up in Jets chest shivering. Katara reached out to Zuko before Jet pulled him back.
"Look do you want-" Katara started.
"One wrong move. And you won't 'want to do anything'." Jet spitted out. Making Katara shiver at the tone.
Zuko was laid on his unwounded side, meaning facing Katara. She stared at Zuko in all the hate she could muster before ripping the side of his cloths. You could hear Aang gag and Sokka gasp in the background while Toph covered her nose. The blood seemed to be patched well, but only just. The wipe she sent earlier was fresh and little bits of bruises around it. The bullet where she shot him seemed to make an exit as well. Katara gather water from her pouch and started with the wipe marks first.
The thing about water benders, is that at times they can feel the victim's pain when treating them, and the amount of pain that went through Katara struck her through her core. She almost wanted to cry herself. It wasn't the fact it was Zuko. But that she caused this pain. Even though she didn't care about Zuko. The wounds managed to heal but left scars and she moved to his shoulder. The wound closed immediately. Now, it was for the bleeding problem.
"Jet, pass me the bag." Katara asked. Jet through the bag at her while see search through it and brought out some pills. She gathered some spirit water she stole. Katara lowered down the base of Zuko's stomach and she gathered some spirit water she stole. Katara lowered down the base of Zuko's stomach and started to heal.
"AHH!" Zuko yelled out in pain closing his eyes. Katara pulled back from the action but went straight back to it.
"What the fuck are you doing!?" Jet yelled.
"I'm trying to fix your mistake." Katara said dully with a growl at the end.
"My mistake? I did throw water whips at him!" Jet yelled back.
"He deserved it." Katara said back. Suddenly, Toph felt something stop.
"GUYS! Zuko's not breathing!" Jet's eyes widened, Katara only smirked. She did her job.
"What have you did to him you monster?!" Jet screamed, pressing his palms against Zuko's chest.
"I have done my job. The world doesn't need fire benders." Katara said calmly.
"I said fix him! Not kill him!" Sokka raised his hand, slapping his sister. "Jets right! You are the monster here! Not Zuko! And the worst of all, you killed not even a born child!"Sokka finished, kneeling to Zuko, trying to help Zuko back to life. Katara touched her cheek where her brother slapped her
"Aang?" Katara looked at him, waiting for him to calm her down.
"Don't talk to me! Don't look at me! Don't say my name!" Aang screamed at her, walking towards Zuko.
"Toph?" She looked at Toph, waiting at least for her to go to her and try to calm her down.
"Don't fucking talk to me you monster!" She screamed, stroking Zuko's hair.
"Why are you all on his side? He tried to catch you, Aang!" Aang turned to Katara, sending her a cold glare. He then turned to Zuko when he heard him moan.
"Zuko?" Jet whispered, he smiled when he saw a pair of golden eyes.
"J..Jet."Zuko crocked out.
"Thank god." Jet breathed. So was everyone else reaction.
"Are you okay?" Toph asked Zuko. He gave a slight nod. Katara growled and was about to do something but Sokka saw it first and knocked her out.
"Yeah. Katara is being a really bitch now." Toph cursed.
"I never thought she would..." Aang trailed of sadly.
"Well she did. And that just proves how 'kind' people can be when they show their true colours." Jet growled. Zuko looked so pale now. But at least he had stopped bleeding now.
"I'll get Appa to move faster. Hopefully we will be there at some point by tomorrow night...Zuko?" Aang asked. Zuko looked up. "I'm sorry." Aang said gravely. Zuko couldn't speak well, so he settled for a heavy heart nod. Aang nodded at went to Appa's and quickened the pace.
"I'm gonna tie her up." Sokka said staring at his fallen sister.
"Aren't you gonna check to that she's still alive?" Jet asked.
"I didn't hit her hard enough for that. Besides, I'm to disappoint in her to really care." Sokka growled and got some rope.
"Are you okay?" Toph asked Jet. Jet looked over at her and stared. He wasn't alright. He almost lost Zuko too many times in so few days it was hard to be alright.
"I'm fine." Jet said. Toph held her tongue for a moment and said.
"You're lying." Toph whispered. Stroking an exhausted Zuko in her lap. Jet looked over Zuko and traced a finger along his stomach.
To be continued...
