Chapter 3 - Captured
When Zuko woke up, the back of his head was throbbing.
"Wha…What happened?" he stammered.
Suddenly, he received another blow to the back of his head, and blacked out again.
The sound of the club hitting Zuko woke up Sokka. Unlike the prince, however, Sokka stayed quiet. He remembered what had happened, and knew he had been captured. To get some idea of where he was, he gently raised one of his eyelids, just enough to see that he was, in fact, tied up. Trying his best to seem like he was still unconscious, Sokka raised his head a little. He almost gasped aloud when he saw the banished fire prince right across from him.
What's Zuko doing here? He wondered. Why would someone want to capture him? He'd just be a pain in their neck!
Just then, voices arose behind him.
"What do you want to do with this one?" one of the voices asked, accompanied by a nudge to Sokka's back. Sokka felt a strange sensation as the hairs on the back of his neck rose. That voice sounded so familiar.
"Nothing… yet. I've got my plans for this one." Replied another voice.
Suddenly, Sokka knew exactly who it was. His eyes widened as he realized what sort of situation he was really in.
Apparently, he must have given himself away, because the second voice suddenly hushed the first voice, and Sokka received a brutal kick to the back. However, he managed to hold on to consciousness.
He tried to close his eyes as if he had been knocked out again, but the owner of the second voice was not to be tricked. Sokka could hear the person walking around him. Then, silence returned as the figure stopped in front of Sokka and knelt down until they were at eye level.
The person roughly put his hand under Sokka's chin and raised his head. He said, "Open your eyes!"
When Sokka refused to do so, he received a hard slap to the face. Realizing that it would be better to comply with his captors at the moment, he reluctantly opened his eyes and stared into the eyes of his enemy.
