Chapter 10: A REALLY Bad Runin

WITH KELLIE:

Kellie groaned as she finally woke up. Why did painful things keep happening to her?

"Ah, good, you're awake."

Kellie groaned again as she turned to the voice, hoping to see Katara, but in disappointment, saw Iroh.

"How are you feeling?

"Like I was just sent in to face Hitler as if I were a Jew."

"What's a Hitler and a Joo?"

"Hitler was an evil man who tried to enslave the entire planet. Sorta like the Fire Lord. And Jew is a person under the Jewish religion."

"I didn't know of Hitler. That must be very ancient history of our world."

"Actually, he's from my world. My world is,well, another world. Not yours. And where I come from, we don't have Nations dependent on their Elements. My world has hundreds of thousands of countries. Far too many for me to list. Far too many for me to even know all the names of."

"It must be very interesting."

"Uh, yeah, I guess it is."

"My name is-" "General Iroh. It's an honor to meet you. My name is Kellie. But my friends call me Kelso."

"I would ask you how you know me, but it probably has something to do with your world."

"Yeah."

"But the name Kelso is very interesting."

"It's just a stupid nickname I made up."

"Oh."

"I'm bored. And hungry, and thirsty."

"Well, let's take you down to the galley, where you can have some wonderful chicken and some nice, calming ginseng tea. Then I'll teach you how to play Pai Gow."

"That sounds wonderful. Thank You very much, sir."

"You're very much welcome, Miss Kelso." Kellie beamed when he used her nickname. Iroh thought she had very good manners.

Kellie enjoyed the chicken very much. She ate it in minutes. The tea she drank in no less than 5 gulps. She apparently enjoyed ginseng tea. Then Iroh took Kellie up into the captain's coop to learn Pai Gow. Kellie learned faster than she had with chess.

Kellie was one very difficult move away from beating Iroh at his game and making the workers who also played very happy, when Zuko came waltzing in to ruin her fun.

"What's she doing up here?" He demanded.

"She woke up, hungry, thirsty, and bored. So first I took her down to the galley for a bite then took her up here to learn how to play Pai Gow."

"I thought I told you to notify me when she woke up!" He hissed.

"Hey, relax Princey. You need to learn to chill, otherwise I'll be your teacher. And Iroh, I think I just won." Kellie said smoothly to Zuko than happily to Iroh.

"My God, I can't believe it, but you ACTUALLY just beat me! I've been bested by a 12 year old!" Iroh clapped his hands, the workers cheered, and Zuko just stood there fuming.

Kellie noticed this.

"Yo Princey, I thought I just told you to chill!"

"What's chill?" Kellie stared at him.

"This, for you, is 'chill'" Then Kellie got up, picked up a bowl of water, then dumped it on Zuko's head. Immediately, the water turned into steam and Kellie was out of the room in a heartbeat.

"GET BACK HERE!" Zuko roared. Kellie just screamed and ran harder. Right into Jet's forest. But while she had been running from the coop, she had spied her brown leather jacket and slipped it on, then resumed running.

Eventually, Kellie shook Zuko off her trail and stopped for a break.

"Gotta, (gasp) find, (gasp) the(gasp) Others (gasp)" She panted. She looked around, and saw she wasn't far from the camp she and Aang, Sokka, and Katara had made!

"Almost there." She whispered. She didn't run, she walked. She was safe for now, and the scenery was beautiful.

Eventually she heard a bird whistle and she smiled, trying to return the bird's call. But she was too out of breath to whistle.

Suddenly, she heard a thump behind her, and just as she began to turn, something hooked around her knuckles, and threw her to the ground.

"Fire Nation bitch, what do you think you're doing here?" Kellie looked up at the face of the madman who had tripped her, and hissed.

"Bitch? I'm no bitch. And I'm certainly not Fire Nation. Why did you trip me, parentless bastard?" She replied hotly.

Jet's eyes grew big at Kellie's statement. NOONE ever mentioned his parents.

"How do you- So, I'm famous in the Fire Nation, am I?" He sneered.

"How many God damn times do I have to say I'M NOT FROM THE FIRE NATION!" She yelled. Kellie stood up and looked Jet square in the eye. Noone did that, either.

"Then why are you wearing red? And, what's with the jacket?"

Kellie was about to say that red was her favorite color, but stopped. Saying that would only get her in trouble. Then a better and safer answer popped into her head.

"I wear red because it symbolizes the blood that flows through our veins. Shows we're human. Even if we're from the most hated of Nations, of races, of religions. Shows we're all capable of all emotions, even forgiveness, kindness, and compassion. It shows the blood that so many careless people spill every day of this war. Of every war that will be fought and has been fought. It shows the blood that has been spilt, and people mourn over. I have cried of these things, wishing for the war to be over, for all Nations live in peace, noone try to spill blood anymore, and noone mourn over said spilt blood. Wishing for happiness, and the madmen who try to continue to spill blood to be locked away in an asylum for the rest of their days. That is why I wear red."

Jet looked touched, but then he sneered.

"That's really touching, but the Fire Nation can't show compassion."

" I've been taught to never judge a book by its cover. Why don't you try doing the same?"

Jet was getting annoyed. How DARE a child teach him how to live!

"Why do you wear that jacket?" Jet asked, seeing her brown leather jacket.

"It symbolizes my family and friends that I have left behind." Kellie whispered, looking away.

"I can tell that that just might be true, but there appears to be another reason." Then he grabbed Kellie by her collar and held her in front of his face.

"PUT ME DOWN!" She yelled.

"Kellie?"

Kellie's eyes grew wide and she screamed.

"PUT ME DOWN! I GOTTA GET AWAY FROM HIM!" She yelled.

Zuko appeared form the bushes.

"That's right, put her down now." Zuko hissed.

"I ain't goin anywhere with either of you!" Kellie yelled. Suddenly, Jet grabbed her left arm and twisted it in a direction that it shouldn't go in. Kellie's shoulder gave a loud 'pop', and Kellie screamed in pain. Her arm had been dislocated and it hurt like hell.

"Now, let's see why you wear this jacket," Jet said with a sick smile. He yanked the jacket from Kellie's body, and she fell to the ground, right on her left, and dislocated arm. She screamed in pain, while Jet stared at her bare back.

"YOU BITCH!" Zuko yelled. And charged at Jet. The two immediately got into a fight. Letting Kellie inch away with her jacket sitting on her back. Eventually she reached the creek. She put her back against the bark, then fell fast asleep.

I'm gonna leave it at that. Well, I think I've FINALLY solved my lawyer problem, but plz ppl, R&R! it really makes my day.

INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
