Nothing to say
Chapter 12: Travelers
"So we all agree with the plan?" Zuko asked. Aaron and Kellie looked at each other, and nodded.
"But just so we're on the safe side, run it by us one more time?" Aaron asked. Zuko nodded.
"I doubt Zula wants us back, so we'll break in," Kellie started.
"Kellie will pose as one of the Ladies, and knock out three guards and steal their armor for us." Zuko continued.
"We sneak in, posing as guards, and kill Zula before she realizes we're even there. And Zuko," Kellie paused. Zuko looked at his wife.
"I think you should kill her. It, it goes against the 10 Commandments to murder, I just can't-" Zuko hushed her.
"I get it, Kellie." He said quietly. Kellie gave him a warm, but weak smile.
"Great, now let's pack up, and move out." Aaron said and clapped his hands.
Zuko bit his lip. Kellie had been humming for the last five minutes, and it was really getting on his nerves. And they had only been traveling for five minutes.
"Would you cut it out?" Zuko asked. Kellie stopped humming, and walked ahead of Zuko.
"What's the magic word?" She asked in a singsong voice. Zuko growled, he hated it when she got like this.
"Please." Zuko begged. Kellie gave him a warm smile over her shoulder.
"Sure." Zuko got down on his knees, and looked toward the sky.
"Thank you Agni!" He cried. Kellie giggled, and much to his annoyance, she started to sing.
That was then this was nowFound my way back here somehow
Knew you'd have to let me go
Told you once I told you so
Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be…
Someone other than who I am
I will fight to make my stand
Cause what is livin' if I can't live free
What is freedom if I can't be me
Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be…
I won't let you near it
I will let my spirit fly
Fly
High
Oh take me down
Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be…
Zuko sighed. That was a nice song, as much as he hate to admit it.
"I don't remember that one, Kellie, where'd you hear it?" Zuko was surprised to hear Aaron ask a question.
"On the radio. I liked the song, and asked mom about it. She said it was by Bonnie Raitt and was called I Will Not Be Broken." Aaron nodded.
"Do you know any other songs?" Zuko asked. Kellie grinned.
"You should know I have a lot of songs up my sleeves."
Can you see the real me?Can ya? Can ya?
I went back to the doctorTo get another shrink
I sit and tell him about my weekend
But he never betrays what he thinks
Can you see the real me, doctor? Doctor?
Can you see the real me, doctor?
Oh, doctor!
I went back to my mother
I said, "I'm crazy mom, help me!"
She said, "I know how ya feel son, cause it runs in the family"
Can you see the real me, mother? Mother?
Can you see the real me, mother?
Oh, mother!
Can you see, can you see the real me?
Can you see, can you see the real me?
The cracks between the paving stones
Like rivers of flowing veins
Strange people who know me
Looking behind every window pane
The girl I used to love
Is in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed me by
She doesn't want to know me now
Can you see the real me, can you? Can you?
Can you see the real me, can you? Can you?
Oh yeah!
I ended up with a preacher
Full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little
So he showed me to the golden gate
Can you see the real me, preacher? Preacher?
Can you see the real me, preacher? Preacher?
Oh, preacher!
Can you see, can you see, can you see?
Can you see the real me, doctor?
Can you see the real me, mother?
Can you see the real me?
"Long live The Who." Aaron sighed as Kellie finished. She punched him in the arm, and he punched back harder.
"Ow!" Kellie yelled as she rubbed her sore arm.
" Aaron, long live The Who is my line!" Kellie whined. Aaron grinned.
"Well I stole it."
"Stealer."
"Very funny."
"I know it is." Zuko was getting bored with the brother-sister talk.
"Can you sing another song, Kellie? It brings up my spirits." Kellie rolled her eyes.
"Yes, your majesty." She teased. But Zuko thought he heard her mutter, "I'm surprised anything brings up his spirits, he's Mr. Sourpuss."
I heard that.
Kellie cleared her throat.
"I don't really like to sing this song." She said before she began.
Time, it needs timeTo win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday.
I will be there, I will be there.
Fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.
Love, only love
Can break down the walls someday.
I will be there, I will be there.
If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.
Your pride has build a wall, so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again?
I'm loving you.
Try, baby try
To trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, your love
Just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has build a wall, so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again?
If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Yes I've hurt your pride, and I know
What you've been through
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I need your love
I'm still loving you
Still loving you, baby…
"In honor of Aaron's hate towards the Scorpions." Kellie grinned.
"More like in honor of the People Who Can't Sing Worth Their Lives Committee." Aaron growled. Kellie laughed.
"Ok, hotshot, let's see you do better." Kellie covered her ears. Aaron glared at his sister.
"Haha."
Back in black, I hit the sack, I've been too long, I'm glad to be backYes I'm let loose from the noose
That's kept me hangin' about
I keep a lookin' at the sky, cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse, cause I'll never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
Usin' every one of them and runnin' wild
Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, I'm baaack…
Well, I'm back in black!
Yes, I'm back in black!
Ow! Back in the back, I drive a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes I'm in a band with a gang,
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
For look at me now, I'm just a makin' my pay,
Don't try to push your luck, just get outta my way
Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, I'm baaack…
Well, I'm back in black!
Yes, I'm back in black!
Let's go!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack…
Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black-ow!
Aww yeah! Let's go!
Keep goin'! Yeah yeah!
Yeah… aww yeah yeah!
Here we go!
Well, I'm baaack… (I'm back!)
Baaack… (Well, I'm back!)
Baaack…(I'm back!)
Baaack…(I'm back!)
Baaack…(I'm back!)
Baaack…
Yes, back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black…
Outta sight!
Aaron took a gasp of air. Singing at that pitch, and for the whole song, it hurt his throat. Kellie laughed.
"What is so funny?" Aaron panted. Kellie smirked, and swayed from side to side as she walked. Zuko bit his lip. Seeing his wife do that was a bit of a turn on, I mean, he was 19! He was still a teenager! And teenagers have hormones!
"Oh, it's just you sing worse than I do!" Kellie laughed. Aaron scowled.
"Can you do much better?" Aaron leered. Kellie smiled.
"Course I can."
Well, I'm baaack, baaack…Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black!
Kellie sang in a perfect alto voice, just barely scraping the soprano level.
"Show off." Aaron muttered. Kellie perked up, and whirled towards her brother.
"I sang better than you? And you admitted it? THANK YOU GOD!" Kellie yelled. Zuko laughed, and collapsed on the ground.
"I say this is a good place for camp." Zuko declared. Kellie and Aaron followed suit, and ate some of the dried fruit and meat they had taken with them.
That night, Kellie stared at the sky, before she joined her husband and brother in the realm of sleep.
