Happy Now?
Chapter V:
Zhao
A/N: Zhao doesn't deserve a chapter named after him, or to even be mentioned in my fic. Oh, well... I don't own anything... And, I was at vacation in Alabama, and couldn't pack my laptop. Sorry.
Evil was right, in a few hours of playing around with fire and water, (Don't play with matches unless you're a firebender, kiddies!) they reached land. But, Zuko didn't let them out. He hadn't even come to their cell today. If Evil was worried (CoughYesCough), she didn't show it. She just kept Chi occupied, and listened to music. Stripe was sitting around, probably thinking of a way of manipulating the soldiers, as follows:
Stripe: Say silk ten times.
Soldier says silk ten times.
Stripe: What does a cow drink?
Soldier: Milk.
Stripe would howl in laughter, yelling, "COWS DRINK WATER!" The soldier would then go to his usual emotion expression, and Stripe would start thinking of another one. Great way to pass the time. Chi thought it a perfect time to practise waterbending, landing half a bucketful on the soldier's head. "Guess what this is!" Chi screeched, then made horse-like noises. "A horse?" "Yes, and no. It's a Mustang with a bad motor!" They laughed their heads off, and the guards were dumbfounded.
Zuko was on an Earth Kingdom Island, as the Avatar had landed on it. But, he felt as if he was being watched... Suddenly, soldiers appearing out of nowhere grabbed him and his soldiers. Zhao appeared in front of him, smirking. "Sorry, Prince, but I'll be capturing the Avatar today."
Evil was lying on the bed, knowing something was wrong. The place was eerie silence. Stripe and Chi were doing the finger game. It seemed like hours past before Iroh came by, and told the guards, "Prince Zuko should have been back by now. I need one of you to help me look for him." Evil sat up, staring at Iroh. "You mean, he's missing?" "Possibly, or he could just be going longer than expected," "Let me come with you." "Wha?" "Let me come with you." "Alright."
The small search party consisted of a retired tea fantic, a guard, and an insane girl who just found out she could firebend. They were SO prepared for danger. Evil listened to music on the way, and mumbled the words to relax herself.
The history repeats itself year after year.
Our fears and future it's priced.
We have to give in to a hundred year curse.
Sweat in the sun like we're diggin' our graves.
Dig deep enough, and our fortune is saved.
'If only, if only.' the woodpecker sighs,
'The bark on the trees were as soft as the skies.'
As the wolf wait below, hungry and lonely.
He cries to the moon, 'If only, if only.'
A/N: Awesome song, yesh? Don't own it, nope.
Evil: Alright! 'Nother chapter!
Chi: HEY! WHAT HAPPEND TO ME!
Evil: Erm, me an' Zuko are gonna go...
Zuko is dragged like a lifeless dummy away.
Zuko: I'm not going to as how you're doing that... o.o;
