Water's Flow

CH5

After many grumbles and arguments over who would do what, the four of them climbed out of the pit and slowly headed for the site. One of the soldiers got up and saw that the ropes around the trees were on the ground.

"The prisoners!" he shouted. "They're gone!"

The other soldiers rose from the ground and looked around when Yroki came into view.

"Get her!" one soldier shouted.

"No!" she shouted and fell to the ground. "I can't go on! I can barely move. They attacked me!"

"They?" the soldier shouted. "Who's they?"

"It was terrible!" Yroki shouted. "I don't believe it!"

As she continued on about this, Katara and Sokka rescued Momo and Appa, defeating the soldiers first of course. They moved swiftly enough as not to cause any commotion. Aang crept nearer and nearer to the soldiers and began picking them off one by one. As he moved closer, the soldier questioning Yroki became impatient.

"Tell me, wretched girl, what happened!"

"They attacked me and questioned me for valuables and I told them I had none. They wouldn't leave me no matter how much I begged and now... now..."

"What?" he asked. He had let down his guard just long enough for Aang to get close enough.

"Now," Yroki said. "You're leaving and you're not coming back!"

"What?" He turned around and saw Aang behind him. It didn't take very long for them to give up, retreat, and shout many things that should not be heard by the ears of children. The soldier Yroki had been lamenting to, came and knocked her forcefully to the ground.

"You think you're so clever," he sneered kicking her with his boot. "Your cleverness won't always save you. There are people who don't fall for that."

"Obviously," Yroki said in an as-a- matter-of-fact type way. "You're not one of those people."

This was too much for the soldier to bear. He kicked her even harder and leaned down to her face. He hit her face a few times and walked away laughing. Her cheek had a red mark on it and her clothes were covered in dirt. Blood dripped from her mouth and the mark on her wrist was a bright, bright red. Redder than ever before.

"Yroki!" Sokka shouted as he ran to her, her head in his hands.

"I don't believe it," Katara said.

"What?" Yroki asked weakly. "It's still me. I'm fine." She smiled weakly. "Nothing's different-" She stopped in mid-sentence and passed out in Sokka's arms
