Chapter 15: War
A tear trickled down Kellie's cheek as she watched the sea. But she paid the tear no mind. It slid further down, and then there was the gentle 'plop' of it hitting the floor. Soon, there were rivers of tears streaming from Kellie's eyes.
Zuko looked down at his once fiancée, he shared her sadness. He knelt beside her.
"Shh, it' gonna be alright, Kellie." Kellie shook her head and stuttered something between sobs.
"N-n-no, it isn't. I-i-it never w-w-will be." Across space and time, someone heard Kellie cry.
Aaron sat straight up in his dorm room. It was ten at night, and exams were tomorrow. But he had the strangest feeling someone, somewhere, was crying. Because he heard them sob. It was two voices, one trying to comfort the other.
"Shh, … gonna be … Kellie." The words faded in and out, but Aaron frantically looked around the dorm. Someone had said his sister's name.
"N-n-no, … isn't. I-i-it never … be." Aaron gritted his teeth as he thought about the note.
I'll be with Zuko.
If Zuko had done one thing to make his little sister unhappy, next time Aaron saw him, the Prince would not live to see his uncle die.
Words Austin had said came floating back to him.
"Dude, get off her case…" Aaron sighed, and went back to studying. But Austin's words still haunted him, and would give him a bad grade on his exams the following day.
"Get off her case…"Zuko sighed.
"Give me my own room." Kellie whispered. Zuko looked up.
"What?" Kellie glared at him from between her fingers.
"Give me my own room. Those damn gods won't be happy if I sleep with you." Zuko nodded, and went off to give Kellie her old room back.
He had had the room for the new cook to sleep somewhere else, but he had lied to her just to spend some time with her.
I doubt she believed me anyways.
Zuko, for the next few days, somehow got back to the way he had been when trying to catch the Avatar. Everyone else had returned the way it had been months before. Except Kellie. She was always depressed. The reason why was the discouraging things she saw, floating in the ocean.
There were giant piles of ash, floating on melted rock, bobbing through the waters around the ship, everyday.
There were scorched, dead, mermen and maids sitting just beneath the water's surface. They made Kellie sick.
She felt grateful she never saw Kierra's body among the corpses…
But Kellie feared the worst. Words haunted her.
Death.
It never left her. She heard it no matter how hard she tried to drown it out.
Death.
It haunted her. If she talked to a person, she would suddenly see them dead, a lifeless corpse at her feet.
Death.
It haunted her dreams, showing war, and bloody death. Kellie would always suddenly wake up in her bed, cold sweat streaming down her face, and screaming for her brother.
Death.
What Kierra had told her, hit her harder than stones ever could.
"If mankind and the gods and goddesses failed and began to destroy each other, the Great God of them all would rip himself from the current Avatar's body and save us all. By getting rid of us all and starting the world anew."
The Great God was coming, and Kellie needed to play peacemaker, before he arrived.
This war had to stop, now.
Uhoh, and now u know why I named this story, To Save Us.
INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
LONG LIVE THE HIPPIES!
