Sosia picked up the mango that was rolling on the ground. She cocked an eyebrow and tossed it over to Sokka. He glared at her and shook his head. Aang pulled his shawl over his head again to cover the arrows. Sosia smiled and started to turn around when one of the large women opened the door. Sosia's face grew stern.
"What is it Kliss?" The woman jerked her head to the side and Sosia nodded. She turned back to them.
"Get everything in place, the chieftess is coming." Zuko casually stepped in front of Sokka while he fought to get his mango down his shirt. Sosia shook her head and turned as her mother approached the door. Sosia opened it before Amamara did.
Amamara's cold green eyes stared down at Sosia. She looked up to see the serve standing in front of the older sister almost protectively. Amamara's mouth crooked into a smile and she patted Sosia on the head.
"I'm glad to see that you are beyond your wife in curiosity. It is healthy to bring in new partners every once in a while." She said and looked over at Katara. She smiled warmly. She walked over to Katara and gently pushed her hair back.
"Have you considered my offer yet?" Katara glanced at Sosia then back to her 'sisters.' When she didn't answer immediately Amamara's face turned dangerous. She turned as Inga entered the room.
"Take the mute. We will see how long her stubbornness holds up." Inga walked over and grabbed Aang/Mia by the arm. Aang's eyes grew wide as he looked up at the woman, who easily towered over him. She had to be close to six foot tall and weighted at least four times as much as he did. Zuko frowned and watched the large woman start to lead Aang out of the cell. He shook his head and grabbed the large woman''s wrists.
"You are not taking her anywhere." Inga dropped her blue eyes down to look at the fire nation servant.
"Just what are you going to do about it serve?" Katara closed her eyes tight as she heard the large woman's question. Boy, was that the wrong thing to ask. Zuko narrowed his eyes and glared at the woman. After a moment, the woman shrieked and tore her arm away from Aang and Zuko both. She cussed as she looked down at her wrist were hand shaped blisters began to appear. Amamara cocked her eyebrow and walked over to the serve. She looked down at him for a moment then directed her attention to Katara.
"He truly is loyal to your sisters, isn't he?" Katara nodded. Amamara shook her head and brought her hand up to touch his scar but Zuko jerked away from her and out of reach. He backed up in front of Aang and in turn made Aang back up.
"He is foolish. He would risk death to keep this mute sister out of our hands." Zuko frowned. If he couldn''t catch the Avatar on his own, there was no way in hell that he was going to let a gorilla-frog of a woman take him without a fight. Amamara looked over at Kliss.
"Take Rinna and Toph." Katara shook her head and took a step towards Amamara.
"No." Amamara cocked an eyebrow and looked at her.
"No?" Katara nodded. She closed her eyes tight and stuck out her hand. She opened them as Amamara smiled. She could see Sosia shaking her head slightly with wide fearful eyes. Katara didn't care she wasn't going to risk the others lives. If she let the large women take them, they would be beaten, or they would give them up by fighting back and they all would be killed. Zuko shook his head in confusion. He looked back at Sokka who just returned his confused look. Aang bit his tongue as he watched Amamara pull Katara in close to her. She looked over at the others with her Jekyll/Hyde face on again.
"You are all free from the dungeon. You will all be expected to attend the dinner tonight honoring our marriage." Sokka's eyes went wide as he stared at the woman. He looked over to Aang to make sure he heard her right. Aang's eyes were wide as he slowly nodded his head at Sokka. Toph stood up and put her hands in the air.
"Wait a minute……you mean to tell me that you had our servant whipped because you wanted Katara to marry you?" Amamara looked down at the blind girl and smiled.
"No I had him whipped because she refused." Zuko's eyes flared at that. He could feel the heat starting to eat at him yearning to burn something.
"You black-mailing bitch! You whipped me and threatened her sisters in order for her to marry you?" Amamara's eyes turned dangerous. She backhanded him hard snapping his face to the side. He spat out blood from where he had bitten his cheek and turned to look at her.
"Hold your tongue serve, or I will hold your head as a trophy." Zuko's glaring eyes weren't set on Amamara. They were locked on Katara. Her face was pale and she seemed ready to take off running.
Thoughts streamed through Katara's mind in a constant flow. She was a master water bender. Toph was a master Earth bender, and Zuko was a master of fire. Aang was the Avatar and her brother could hold his own. How much chance would they have if they just started to raise all kinds of hell within the dungeon walls? Could they make it out of the city alive? How well did Sosia trust that her loyal followers were loyal? They hadn't seen any bending while in the village but that didn't mean that there wasn't a master bender thrown in the mix. With all the different kind of women and all the different regional descendents, there was no actual way to tell Earth Kingdom from Water tribe, or Fire Nation from Air nomad.
"Wait…… you are going to make my sister marry you…… You can't do that." Amamara curled her nose up and turned to glare at Sokka.
"Just why can''t I?" Sokka smirked at Amamara and shrugged.
"She's already betrothed back home." Amamara's reaction wasn't exactly what Sokka had planned on. She should have been angry and ordered them to leave. But that was in a perfect world. Instead she smiled wider and laughed.
"That makes her choice all the sweeter. I can do anything for her a man can." Zuko frowned and fought the urge to state the obvious. It wasn't his mouth that said it though to his surprise.
"Aren't you missing some vital equipment there chief?" Toph ask and mock looked over her. Amamara smiled and looked over at their 'servant'. She nodded and ran her hand down over Katara's braid.
"Yes, but that is why I have my serves. I have already made certain that she didn't find use of your serve, so she will be welcome to mine." Katara felt like she was going to be sick. The thoughts of freezing the entire village, having the Earth open up and swallow it, or burn it completely to the ground, were starting to sound pretty good to her at this point.
Amamara stopped the conversation when she turned to walk out of the cell dragging Katara along with her. The cell door shut behind them. Katara jerked away from the older woman and glared at her.
"Let them out." Amamara turned to look at Katara with her Jekyll mask on. She turned and looked at the cell door then looked through the bars at Sosia.
"They can come out after the serve has been cut. He has too much spirit. He needs to be taken down a few pegs." She said and turned to walk off. Katara planted her feet and looked back at the cell.
"Wait. What? What does that mean?"
"She means to tell you that your servant needs to be castrated in order for him to mellow down to a servant's temperament." Sosia said as she came out of the cell quickly shutting the door behind her. A hard force hit the door sending the reverberating metallic echo through the dungeon halls. Katara stared with wide eyes and slack jaw at the door. Fire was glowing bright in Zuko's eyes and she could see the metal bars under his grip beginning to turn red.
"Cas……No. That is not going to happen." Amamara turned to look at Katara.
"How can you keep from it?" Katara frowned and crossed her arms over her chest and walked back over to stand in front of the door.
"If I am to be your wife, then I get to have my way." Amamara chuckled and shook her head.
"It doesn't work that way in these village walls. You will be my wife and do as I say, if you don't your family will suffer for your transgressions." Katara's hands dropped to her side as she stared at the woman.
"You claim to hate men and what they stand for. You claim to hate the oppression that we women have had to suffer at the hands of men. You claim to hate the way men treat women as slaves or toys to be disposed of whenever there are no longer of any use. You claim all of these things but you are worse then any man I have ever met. You are a malicious and tyrannical leader. You imprison those who have only committed minor offenses and you kill those that give into the wishes of their body that was imposed on them by nature! You are not a revolutionary leader. The only thing you are is a MAN!!" Katara growled as her hands clenched. She was now standing only an inch from the cell door and could feel the heat radiating off of Zuko's hands right behind her neck.
Amamara's eyes were wide and her anger was very visible. She walked over to Katara standing arms length away when she finally stopped. She brought her hand up to slap Katara but before her hand made contact a flame shot past Katara's ear and landed strong on Amamara's arm.
