Chapter six: The Underground Passage
Upon landing the kids were all upset, except Aang that is. They packed up and Aang lead them to an underground passage. "This is the way to the Resistance. They are expecting us, so we will need to hurry. It will take a couple days to get there; their hideout is really far down." Aang told them. He opened the passage way and let them in and then closed it behind himself. "Appa, Momo, you guys know the other way in. Appa take Momo there and don't get caught." Aang then said turning to Momo and Appa.
Katara and Sokka waited for Aang to finish. Sokka sighed, "We could have taken another way in?" Sokka asked. Aang shock hiss head, "No, you wouldn't want to. It's where we keep all the animals, in my opinion-" Aang was interrupted, "Who cares about your opinion?" Katara mumbled. Aang hung his head, "It stinks." He finished. Katara, you jerk! Why do you have to be so rude? The inner Katara asked. If he goes away maybe he won't fight the Fire Lord! Then we won't have to let him die. Katara growled back.
What happened to you? You used to encourage him! You loved him, what the heck is up with you? Inner Katara growled. That was before he almost died, before he ditched us, before he just left. Katara sighed. "Shut up in there, you are not me anymore. That me is gone." Katara said quietly to herself. "Besides you know what happened to us." Katara sighed.
Flashback
"I can't believe he just pushed us on a boat!" Katara screamed when they got to the harbor in the earth town nearest to the South Pole. Katara hadn't stopped crying since them. Sokka moaned, "Yes it happened! Forget it! Forget him! He ditched us, but he had a good reason. Forget it, just let go of the pain." Sokka told her. She moaned. "I can't."
A man in the shadows moved in. "You want to loose that pain?" He whispered in her ear. "Yes," Katara said making sure Sokka wasn't looking. He was examining a bag. "Well, stop by my store tonight. I have something that will make that all go away." He said. She nodded.
That night she snuck out and went to the store her said was there. He smiled evilly as she entered. "Here you go." He said handing her a bottle with black and red liquid. She starred at it fascinated. "And this will…?" She asked. "Will give you split personalities. One of pain and sorrow, the other is you before this boy left you." He lied. It really trapped her real self and let her sorrow and pain take over her. He smiled, "Drink it." He smiled through his broken teeth and bleeding gums.
She took it and it stung as it slipped down her throat. After she drunk it her throat burned and her heart throbbed a billion times worst. Sokka busted in. "Get away from my sister!" He cried, the guards came in, they were Earth Kingdom. "Oh, you. You are the one terrorizing our soldiers." They said. "We finally caught you, now you will pay for all of the soldier's weird behaviors. It's kept them from fighting. Did you know that? You knew that, didn't you?" The soldiers said stepping towards them.
"Now men, I have a good explanation!" He cried as they crushed him with rocks. "Thank you for helping find him. We have been looking for him." That's all she heard before passing out due to the potions effect.
End of Flashback
"I was an idiot for doing such things." Katara sighed. The real Katara was stuck in a cage, so you just want to stay that way? She asked. Katara stopped walking "There is no other way you insolent, heart broken slave."
