Sokka's p.o.v.
After Aang flipped on Sky and Toph we ended up trudging through the desert most of the time Aang less as he was searching for Appa.
Sky was hurt but wouldn't let Katara heal her because she didn't know how long we'd be stuck in the desert for certain.
She was so pale after loosing Appa, and from looking at the area and talking to Toph I know Sky fought her hardest.
Currently by my insistence she was riding piggy back as I was trying to be careful not to jostle her leg wound. She had her head resting on my shoulder as her arms were wrapped around me, most likely passed out from pain. Katara was dragging Toph and Aang.
"It's to bad Sky's been sworn to secrecy by the spirits.", Toph says.
"Yea , then we could of all protected Appa!", Aang grunts angrily.
"She did what she could, and after they knocked her out we're lucky they just left her there instead of finishing her off.", Katara says as I feel the dread in the pit of my stomach.
"Also if she told us the spirits would just erase our memories of her and send her back to her world.", I say " Come to think of it she was sacrificing going home to stay and help us. If she wanted to go home she could of told us everything and been long gone, she'd be safe, not hurt by this war that's not her own.
But she made it her own and made us her tribe since in her own world she's family and tribe less now.
Sky eventually opened her eyes as we entered a cave as she started to stir while Toph complained about buzzing.
"Buzzing. ", she says as I set her down taking in her surrounding as I could see alarm bells go off in her eyes. "Wasps! " as she shouts ignoring her pain grabbing my arm dragging me as she ignores her pain out of the cave and the others around the side as the swarm flew out in a straight line. I can tell she must be light headed due to blood loss then I remember her hypoglycemia thing.
"I'm so glad your on our side.", I say
"I'm glad I'm not allergic to bee stings I'd hate to see the epipen for that. ", she says shakily. I start counting hours since the last time she ate and I realize she's gonna have a reaction if she pushes to much harder so I scoop her up bridal style.
"Sokka no!", she says" you need to conserve energy."
"I need to make sure my girlfriend doesn't have a seizure.", I say wishing she was up to arguing but she's to light headed to fight me.
Eventually we bump into a sand boat and we're on our way thanks to Aang's air bending as I try and figure out how to get Sky's sugar up before she seizes but she's sitting watching like she's trying to ignore her discomfort.
I just hope she stays ok until I can get everyone out of the desert.
Sky's p.o.v.
My side aches, my head hurts, and I'm not sure if my hypoglycemia is going off or it's the knife hit giving me a concussion.
Once we're on the sand boat I sit alert since I know the sand benders are near.
Soon we're stopped and despite my dizziness I hear the creep who stabbed me calling us crazy as my heart races like it's pounding out of my chest.
"Hey I know that voice he's the guy who said to muzzle Appa, then said to leave Sky cause she'd die in the desert.", Toph says confirming it as I hear a growl from Aang and Sokka.
"You muzzled Appa!", Aang shouts "You hurt my girlfriend!", shouts Sokka as Aang starts to go into the Avatar state as I pull my self to a bending stance.
"You better hope one of my friends stop him, and me cause if he doesn't kill you I might.", I say using my blood bending to trap him as the world sounds as if I'm under water.
"Look he's on his way to Ba sing se. I'll lead you safely out of the desert.", says the creep as I feel Sokka hug me as I begin to freeze his insides as he screams and pleads, while Katara starts to talk Aang down.
"It's ok Sky, I got ya. ", Sokka whispers in my ear while the guy screams in pain from his legs freezing on the insides as I release him due to extreme dizziness as the spots in my eyes start as he uses his body to support me.
"Sokka.", I say looking up at him.
"Ya Sky.", he says.
"I'm gonna pass out now.", I say as I drop as the spots in my eyes get to be to much but I don't hit the ground as the darkness takes me.
Sokka's p.o.v.
I swiftly catch her lifting her bridal style as Katara talks Aang down and when he's down he looks quite alarmed at Sky's state and digs through his pouch as we begin to be led out by the sand benders. I try to focus on getting out not how pale my girlfriend looks, occasionally sending deadly glares at the sand benders and especially the creep that stabbed her.
When we finally find a place to rest I lay her down on a bedroll Katara lays out as she finally has enough water to heal Sky's leg and head as Aang hands me a bag of dried fruit he had in his pouch to help get her sugar up when she wakes as we slowly get some water in her to start.
When she does wake she's still shaking as I get her to eat the food slowly and help propping her up on me.
"Thanks guys.", she says tiredly resting on me as I hold her tightly "We need to get to Ba Sing Se." she adds as I shush her.
"Rest you need to let your sugar get back up.", I say as she closes her eyes drifting off.
