Chapter 9: Nothing Going Right
WITH ZUKO:
Zuko walked onto the deck and looked at the sea. It was beyond annoying. He hated seeing it every god damn day. That girl had certainly a few tricks up her sleeve. Wait a minute, her shirt doesn't have sleeves. And ever since she attacked me in the woods, she hasn't had the back of a shirt either. He smiled at his joke. But then went to check on Kellie, after all, that had been a nasty fight.
ONE HOUR AGO:
" GIVE ME BACK MY JACKET YOU FATHERLESS BASTARD!" Kellie screamed and ran at him, fueled by nothing but adrenaline and pure fury.
She ran right into him, slamming him into the ground. She pinned his arms above his head and stared him in the eye, with pure hatred.
Does that count for betrayal?
Shut up. Right now, all I want is my leather jacket back.
"WHERE'S MY JACKET!" She yelled.
Zuko just stared at Kellie with confusion.
"What are you-"
" DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME! WHERE'S MY BROWN LEATHER JACKET!" Kellie repeated.
" I don't know." He said smoothly.
"You lie, bastard." She hissed.
"I don't."
"Yes you do. I can see it in your mind. You lie." But Kellie didn't mean, mind, she had meant eyes. But it was true. He HAD lied. And her jacket was somewhere.
"Does that mean you can read minds?" Zuko asked, curiosity filling him.
"Don't change the subject." Kellie hissed again.
"Ok. Now what were we talking about?" Zuko asked with a smirk.
"MY JACKET, YOU FATHERLESS BASTARD! YOUR FATHER DID THE RIGHT THING BY SENDING YOU OFF TO CAPTURE A TWELVE YEAR OLD FOR HIM!" Kellie screamed, then smashed Zuko's head into the metal floor. There was a light but still sickening crunch, and Kellie grinned the way only a madman would.
Zuko still had consciousness, and more than enough of his strength left to fight her.
"You can't win," He said triumphantly.
"Really? Why's that?" Kellie said with the same amount of triumph.
"You're only a child."
"Well, technically, so are you."
"Yes, but I'm stronger."
"I've got something to fight for."
"Oh yeah? What's that?"
"The last bit of my friends and family that I have but YOU STOLE!" Kellie said and tears welled in her eyes, and she sent Zuko's head into the floor once more. But there wasn't a crunch, not even a pop.
Zuko took advantage of this, and sent his knees into Kellie's stomach. She was thrown on to her back. Kellie had a bit of a hard time getting up, but she did. They both took a fighting stance. Zuko threw punches, Kellie made close saves. Kellie threw kicks AND punches, some made their mark, others didn't. After 5 minutes like this, Zuko's scarred eye was no longer red, but purple and swelling. He had also been repeatedly kicked in the stomach, so he was gasping for breath. And now his head was throbbing painfully after having it sent into the floor. Kellie had both her lips split, but nothing more. For the time being.
"I want my jacket back, and I want it back now." Kellie said.
"Over my dead body." "So be it."
Kellie charged at him, but Zuko was ready. He sent a wave of fire across her middle, and Kellie screamed louder than ever. Anyone three miles away could of heard her. The bandages on her arms turned into smoldering piles of ash, and her burns seared with a pain worse than the last burn. A low bit of her shirt also got turned into ash, and turned a sickening shade of red, but not nearly as bad as her arms.
Kellie was on her knees, right in front of Zuko, gasping for breath.
"That's good. On your knees before your Prince." He said, thinking the battle was over.
"I, have, NO PRINCE!" She screamed, and got to her feet, ready to make one last stand.
But then the door opened and in walked Iroh.
"Prince Zuko, what is going-" But Iroh never finished his sentence. The condition of his nephew's room said it all. And Zuko's once red eye said it too. And the girl, what on earth had happened to her?
Just then, Kellie's breathing slowed a lot, her eyes closed, and she fell right into Iroh.
"Prince Zuko?"
"Take her to the infirmary. She needs serious medical attention." Then he left. Leaving Iroh in his demolished room with an unconscious girl in his arms.
END OF THAT BACK TO PRESENT TIMEZuko rubbed the bandages on his head and his head once again began to throb. He went below deck to check on Kellie.
Once upon reaching the infirmary, he saw Kellie still out like a light, and his uncle sitting in a corner.
"How is she?"
"Pretty bad. The burns on her arms hadn't healed yet so it must of hurt a lot when new flames came into contact with her old burns. Any particular reason why she ended up like this?" Iroh asked raised an eyebrow.
"No uncle, no reason. Watch her, and notify me when she wakes." Then he walked away.
Iroh sighed and shook his head. He walked over right next to Kellie and took her hand in his. He patted it and quietly talked to the unconscious girl.
"I know my nephew is lying. When you wake up, I hope to get your name and the REAL reason why you got like this."
Zuko breathed in the salty air. That girl had been a key, now she's out like a light!
Nothing's going right.
WITH AANG, SOKKA, AND KATARA: 1 DAY AGO:
"MMM! Smells great! Katara, any chance it will be done soon?" Said Sokka while rubbing his hands together.
"Yah, when you stop taste testing it!" Katara said with a laugh as she watched her brother stick his finger in the stew and taste it.
"But it's so good!"
"Well, you can get some after Kellie does. Aang, mind waking her up? She sleeps in Appa's saddle."
"Sure thing, Katara." Said Aang as walked over to his guide and his guide's saddle. It was nice having someone his age. But he got a confused look on his face when he saw nothing there.
"She's not there!" He yelled.
"That's odd. Well, she said she was going for a walk last night." Said Katara.
"At what time?" Sokka inquired.
"Midnight."
"Who goes for a walk at midnight?"
"Hey guys! Momo found something!" Aang yelled than rant to them and waved a bag at the same time. Sokka examined it.
"Looks like it used to house some sort of poisonous plant." He said. Then he realized something. Everything clicked into place.
"Kellie had this bag."
"What?" Katara and Aang asked in unison.
"Someone gave her this bag, it was full of some plant not good for Appa. She purposely fed him the plants to delay us. She was meeting someone."
"Well, who then?"
They all looked around. This was Jet's territory. Kellie still hadn't changed out of her red clothing. If she got caught by Jet, things wouldn't be good. They had to find her, and fast. They all ran in different directions, calling Kellie's name. And the whole time, one thing was in their minds.
Nothing's going right.
Alrightie! I'll probably get this out 2morrow , but until then, peace out!
INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
