Hated Desire

Chapter Three: Stupid Staff

A cool breeze rushed over Lamin as she walked towards the nearby waterfall. The waters were always wonderful to sit under on days like today. Rocks surrounded the pool and trees enclosed the whole thing, giving it a serene appearance. It wasn't a surprise that Tilin wanted to come here.

"Man! I just love this place!" He exclaimed as he ran to pool underneath the falls.

"Clearly." Lamin said folding her arms and sitting down on a near by rock. She hated coming here. When ever they did, they never left till sundown and even then Tilin protested to all living hell.

"I'm going swimming. You want to join me?" He asked her suddenly. A tiny sly grin on his face.

"No." She said bluntly. Her face completely unchanged from its normal cold state. For a moment no one spoke. Tilin just stood there, his boyish grin widening and Lamin sitting on the rock, her arms crossed and her cruel scowl pasted on her face.

"I think your just chicken." Tilin said finally. "I think you don't know how to swim."

"I most certainly am not." She snapped back at him. "And I do too!"

"Chicken, Chicken!" He sang, dancing around and acting like some sort of bird, laughing his head off. Lamin sat on the rock, trying to ignore him but it wasn't work the way she wanted it to. "Bwak! Bwak bwaak!" He taunted.

"I most certainly am not chicken! I should have you killed for even implying that!" She yelled jumping up and getting in his face. Tilin just laughed at her rage. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and ran towards the pool, jumping in still holding onto Lamin. For a moment, Lamin just stayed underneath the water, holding her breath and deciding what to do when she did eventually swim up. It seemed like hours but eventually she did swim up towards the surface, coughing up water. Her long hair growing even longer due to the added water weight.

"TILIN! YOU IDIOTIC GIT!" She screamed at him. He wasn't above the water but he had heard her yelling. Popping up next to her, he laughed softly.

"Oh come on Lamin it was funny." He said. It seemed almost as if he were whispering because Lamin was yelling so loudly.

"IT MOST CERTAINLY WAS NOT FUNNY!" She yelled, panting hard and treading the cool crystal clear water.

"You know, your really beautiful when your mad." He said swimming close to her.

Lamin blinked. "What does that have to do with anything?" She asked him, still slightly pissed off.

"Nothing," He answered, "I'm just saying." Lamin smiled softly as she looked into his vibrant amber eyes, his black hair covering the left one. Moving his hair out of

his eyes, she felt him grab her waist and pull her slightly closer so she could feel him right next to her. Suddenly they heard a loud cough. Looking up at the person standing there, Lamin's eyes grew wide.

"Am I interrupting something?" The man said slightly confused.

"No, of course not!" Lamin said quickly, pushing Tilin underneath the water and pulling herself out of the pool. "What do you want?" She asked ringing out her hair. Behind her, Tilin was getting out himself and ringing out his clothes. She could hear him swearing under his breathe but didn't bother to think about why.

"Ma'am, we've captured the Avatar." He said standing very still. For a second, no one spoke. Lamin just blinked constantly.

"You did, what?" She asked again. Her voice sounded as if she didn't believe it.

"Captured the Avatar General Lamin." He repeated. His eye growing wider with fear as each silent second passed. Lamin just grinned her cruel grin.

"Take Tilin to my office and wait there for me." She said walking back to the Fire Eyes. Confused, the man looked at Tilin.

"Your in deep shit dude." He said before walking back himself. The man followed quickly, pondering to himself what he'd done wrong.

When Lamin was inside, she knocked on large door near the entrance. "Vanee! Valin!" She yelled as she knocked on the door. Slowly the door opened and Vanee stood at the door. A highly confused look on her face.

"May I help you Lamin?" She asked softly. "And why are you all wet?"

"Where's your sister?" Lamin hissed. "We have mistakes to fix. Tell your sister to get herself down to the dudgeons immediately." She said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, of course, but why are you all wet?" Vanee asked her, still highly confused by all this.

"I'll tell you when we get down there." She hissed before turning on her heel and storming away.

All right, that's chapter Three. Hope you enjoyed it.
