American Firebender's Promise
A/N: That was the BEST! My friend and I spent one minute talking about it and then were wondering when a new episode would come out! Though it had a lot of touching moments like this quote.
"I bet you wouldn't understand. Your like my sister. Everything always came easy to her. She's a Firebending prodigy, and everyone adores her. My father says she was born lucky. He says I lucky to be born. I don't need luck though. I don't want. I've always had to struggle and fight, and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am."- Prince Zuko.
I almost cried when he said it! I know, I know I like all that stuff that is truly touching. I can't help it! I found that really touching and well you know. Hope ya like this chapter! Thanks reviews! You probably know what is going to happen, but just read this chapter. Hopefully since I'm getting over being sick that this chapter will be better with more details.
Chapter 5:
Aang, Katara, and May were frozen in time as they looked at Zuko and Sokka who lay on the ground limp. May came back to reality and dashed over to Zuko's side sitting down. She lit a fire in her palm of her hand and looked at the gashes on the prince's chest that were a werewolf's bite marks. Her face filled with sadness, and most of all being worried that he might be dying. She didn't know what to think at that point, and most of she couldn't believe that she let Zuko get hurt like this. Katara was by her brother's side almost crying to see the bite mark on his arm. The young waterbender girl was devastated to see how deep the wound was on her brother's arm, and was just now realizing that it was worse than it first appeared. Aang just stood back taking in what had just happened in few seconds before. His grayish eyes looking from Sokka to Zuko, and just kept looking from one to the other. Even the wind seemed to stop and acknowledge what had just happened.
"We gotta get'em to a healer and maybe the healer might have a cure." said May knowing that it was probably impossible. "Aang start packing up the tents." Aang nodded somberly and started taking apart the first tent. May heaved Zuko onto her back using a lot of effort. Katara grabbed her brother's wrist and started dragging him over to Appa. May walked up Appa's tail slowly and being careful not to drop Zuko. Katara brought Appa onto Appa's saddle and laid him down. May walked onto the saddle and gently laid him down. May jumped down from Appa's saddle, landing on all fours. She stood up and walked over to the tent that she and Zuko had preoccupied before the werewolf incident. She started taking the covering off exposing the skeleton of the tent, and folded the covering. May looked over at Katara who was looking over the 2 teenage boys. May looked down at the ground with the feeling that it was her fault, and closed eyes trying to keep the tears in. She opened her eyes and continued to take apart the tent.
May sitting right beside Zuko with a worried face looking down at him. Aang was steering Appa not saying a word and Momo was sitting beside him with a sad lemur face. Katara trying to heal Sokka, but it wasn't working one bit no matter how many times she tried.
"We've been fling for since before dawn and now it's noon and we still haven't found a healer!" said May almost shouting. She felt like so much pressure on her at that moment that she felt like screaming it all out. "IF YOU'RE A WATERBEDNER THAN START HEALING WITH YOU BENDING!" yelled May. She had fire burning in her ember eyes, and had it building up inside her with each breath. Her hair roughly flowing in the wind.
"That's what I've been trying to do for the past COUPLE OF HOURS!" shouted Katara with her patience running low as it was. Katara's blue eyes weren't calm like they used to, but looked like she was ready to fight fro her life. "Let's see you heal with your Firebending!" Katara Aang turned around and looked from May to Katara.
"Will you two stop it!" shouted Aang. "We'll get a healer soon enough, just stop arguing with each other!" May leaned back against the saddle taking deep breaths and trying to calm down. Katara drove her attention back to Sokka and trying to take her mind off of May or any firebender for that matter. Aang fell back down on Appa's head feeling the pressure of getting the 2 boys to a healer as soon as possible. Momo crawled onto his back with his ears down low as though he was just as sad, and laid down like he was weeping. Even Appa seemed to understand that he needed to do his best to help make the situation better, and that meant flying as fast as he could. May looked over at Zuko's limp body, and very softly picked up his hand and began to rub the top of it with her thumb gently as not to disturb him. She couldn't help, but worry that he wouldn't make it, and the thought of Iroh finding out that his nephew was dead would be unbearable to tell. No, May was going to keep hope as she looked down at the ground.
May was in a totally white room with Zuko lying on a bed. Sokka boarded next to Zuko's on the right. About 2 hours ago they had stumbled upon a small village that actually had a healer who specialized in these kind of accidents. May was sitting down by Zuko, waiting for the bad news to come any minute, and it did when the healer set foot into the room with a face that did not want to be the bearer of bad news. The healer was middle age with green eyes, brown hair, and a green doctor robe on. The healer sat down beside May looking down at her patient.
"How bad is it?" asked May somberly. She looked at the healer wanting to know every bit of information that she had on the banished prince's condition. "And tell me everything."
"He'll make it just like your other friend, but," said the healer biting her lip.
"But what?" asked May immediately.
"As you know when werewolf venom hit's the blood stream it transforms the blood." said the healer who kept looking down at Zuko with her hands on her legs and her brown hair up in a bun. "I'll just get to the point. He's a werewolf and right now a battle is taking place over which the venom will win. Also, the transformation can be triggered by anger or rage." May closed her eyes with a slow tear trickling down her face. "I'm sorry." said the healer as she got up and left the room. May put a hand to her face and shaking her head slowly.
"How am I going to explain this to Iroh?" asked May sadly. "How am I going to tell Zuko?" She looked down at the banished prince. His chest had been wrapped because of the wound being so deep. Zuko's eyes closed tightly shut, and looked like he was in pain.
