Chapter 18: Going Against The Clock
As soon as Kierra made her announcement, time seemed to freeze. The ones who broke the time-freeze were the gods, they all screamed, and the Water gods dove beneath the waves, while the Fire gods, in one fiery explosion, disappeared. Leaving Kellie, Zuko, and his ship with all his men onboard, alone with Kierra.
"7 days? Are you sure?" Kierra nodded frantically.
"How do you know?" Kierra looked around.
"I don't know. I just Saw a brilliant light, then the world a barren wasteland for a hundred years, and then life started again, doomed to repeat what happened last time!" Kierra cried.
Kellie began to chew nervously on a finger.
"Anyway to stop Him?" Kierra nodded.
"Find the existence of another half-blood, then marry him." Kellie cocked her head.
"How does that help?" Kierra looked up, and explained. While tears ran down her pale blue cheeks.
"This war between the gods started because you were engaged to a pure-blood, find another half-blood and marry him, the gods will be pleased, and have no reason to fight. So they'll stop, and that'll stop the God from coming." Kellie nodded in understanding.
"Does this ship have a library?" Kellie asked with an angry, nervous, and frightened tone. Iroh stepped up.
"Well, I have all the accounts of the Fire Nation in my roo-" But Iroh was cut off, for Kellie had already disappeared through the hatch, and was off for his room.
Zuko walked into his uncle's room to see Kellie poured over a desk, books and scrolls all around her.
"Kellie, you need to rest." Kellie ignored him, staring at a family tree of some lost lord.
"Kellie, go to bed." When she gave no reply, Zuko sighed. It looked as if Kellie was lost in her own world of long lost families.
Zuko closed the door quietly behind him.
The door banged as it was slammed against the wall, and an angry Zuko followed.
"That's IT Kellie! You need to sleep!" He yelled at the teenage girl. She paid him no mind. She was lost in a book of old traditions.
Zuko growled, and walked up next to her. Kellie still paid him no mind. He took the book away from her prying eyes, shut it, and put it back on the empty shelf. Kellie just grabbed a scroll and started to read it.
"KELLIE!" Zuko yelled, and grabbed her by the shoulders. Kellie shrugged his hands off.
"KELLIE! GO TO BED! YOU'VE BEEN IN THIS ROOM FOR 5 DAYS AND HAVEN'T EATEN OR SLEPT!" Zuko yelled, furious. Kellie glared up at him, her eyes bloodshot with heavy bags beneath them. Kellie's stomach gave a loud, disobedient, growl.
"No," she whispered. Zuko breathed out, and sparks emitted from his mouth. Then he got on his knees, and begged up to her.
"Please, Kellie, can't this wait until tomorrow? The world will be safe for one more day, if you rest." He pleaded quietly. Kellie looked down at him tears streaming down her cheeks.
"I can't, Zuko. What about the day after? The world won't be safe then, because the Great God will have arrived. I can't stop." Then Kellie turned back to her scroll. After five seconds of staring at it, Kellie screamed, and pounded her fists on the desk. Jets of fire singed all the papers.
"THERE'S NO HALF-BLOODS IN ANY OF THESE GOD-FORSAKEN BLOOD LINES!" She screamed, then curled up into a ball, and cried.
Zuko looked down at her guiltily. And remembered what her mother had told him a year ago, when he was in Kellie's world.
ONE YEAR AGO:
Zuko and Kellie's mom stood in the kitchen, chopping vegetables, for the salad that would be part of that night's dinner.
Her mother looked up when she heard quiet sobs upstairs. Kellie's mother sighed, then resumed chopping her tomato. Zuko didn't hear.
"What's wrong?" He asked. Kellie's mother sighed again.
"Kellie's having another melt-down." Zuko tilted his head.
"What's that?" Kellie's mother stopped chopping, and turned to face him. Zuko stopped chopping his tomato, and looked at her too.
"A melt-down is when you get so stressed, with so much work that you just think you'll never get done, you just melt-down and cry. The only solution for Kellie is to just skip the next day of school, sleep in, study, then return to school the day after, and just continue her school life. She's had only one other melt-down, and that was in the 7th grade."
Zuko nodded, understanding what was needed to make Kellie feel better.
If Kellie came back with Zuko, he might need to know what to do if Kellie had a nervous melt-down.
Kellie's mother and Zuko resumed chopping vegetables for dinner.
Zuko sighed. Another meltdown.
"Kellie, please, go to sleep. Take the day off, tomorrow, I'll look for a half-blood. Please, Kellie, just go sleep." Kellie looked up at him, and started to laugh.
"My-laugh- mother –hic- told you –laugh- how to stop –hic- my tears, didn't –laugh/hic- she?" Zuko didn't answer. Kellie grinned stupidly up at him.
"Thought –hic- so." Zuko sighed.
"Well, if nothing's going to stop you from starving yourself, I certainly won't try to. Goodnight." Kellie gave him a thank you smile.
"-hic- Night. –hic-"
It was midnight, and Kellie was starting to doze. She jerked herself awake, and leaned back in her chair, staring at the papers.
What am I suppose to do?
Kellie asked herself. And stared a scroll of Zuko's family tree, while twirling the golden band on the fourth finger of her left hand around. Kellie gasped, as she suddenly realized the obvious.
"I'm such a moron!" Kellie yelled, and stared at her engagement ring.
Why didn't I see it before?
