Chapter Thirteen
"No more LIES!" she screamed at him and he could see the desperation in her indigo eyes.
Is it possible she wants to believe me? he remained motionless unable to determine the source of her desperation.
Water swirled around her body, the droplets each giving off their own distinct glow that made them almost seem like tiny diamonds floating in the air, like the stars.
He was finally able to gain his voice back, "Tell THAT to the person who has been doing to lying!"
She pointed her index finger at him, declaring coldly, "I am."
"No you aren't," he argued back taking a step forward.
"STAY BACK!" she growled slinging the razor sharp water whip she had bended by using the raindrops at him aiming for one good hit.
Jumping back so that he was now out of her reach he yelled, "Don't be stupid why would I take your necklace."
He heard her let out a snarl that was almost the equivalent to the roaring of a great beast, and waited for a response but none came. She just glared at him for a few minutes then turned around as if to leave.
But she didn't.
He was aware that the water bender hardly ever knew when to give up she had proven that many times prior to this but still he had let his guard down.
That was his mistake.
What she doing?
He move forward his digression and caution vanishing with each footstep. Without warning or hesitation she turned around a small ice dagger firmly gripped in her right palm. She struck his left side cutting the skin beneath his shirt and tearing the muscles beneath the skin.
He could feel his body growing cold with each minute.
I never thought she was a killer, his thoughts seemed to collide making it hard for him to think let alone take any other action, A warrior yes, but doing something like this…
His vision began to darken around the edges and everything seemed to be off as if some kind dream, but it wasn't a dream. The pain was now becoming unbearable as the frozen blade was twisted sharply and pulled out of him.
Then the sound of chuckling pierced his ears.
Caine?
The chuckling metamorphed from a females voice to a male's voice.
Grabbing the area of his side where Caine had stabbed him, his body bent over in pain. Taking what little strength his body was able to release he looked up into the cold, cerulean eyes of the one who had pretended to be his companion. He tried to call the flames that he bended, but his efforts were met with nothing.
"You," he hissed as blood oozed out the left side of his mouth and dripping down his lips.
Caine jerked his head up by the hair so that they could see eye to eye without anyone having to look up or down, "Don't be so surprised fire prince after all we both know Kara doesn't have what it takes to do something like this."
Zuko allowed his honey eyes to hold no hatred back as he said through quivering lips caused by the rough movement place onto him by Caine, "What did you do to her?"
Caine laughed caused a series of sharp throbbing to be sent up and down the prince's body, "Nothing much, but then you'll see. The truth is as much as I would like to kill you here and now I can't."
Zuko said nothing the dark edges around his vision advancing some from their outer edges.
Continuing Caine said, "I know you know who I am and why I need you."
"W-w-what are you talking about?" his voice was softer now as the promise of darkness became more and more evident with each second.
"Laia and your mother have told you everything; I know they have," he jerked the other boy's head some waking him some.
"And how," the words he was looking for were all of a sudden hard to find, "Do you know that?"
I can barely put words together and my vision…"There are ways to make even the spirits to talk especially through the usage of their children. Did you know that child spirits are the easiest to harm?"
Jade…"Honestly, you'd at least think a seer would see something like this coming, oh well."
Laia…"Your lucky though I couldn't seem to locate that pesky mother of yours, but no problem her location will be given to me shortly."
Mother…"Poor Katara, she was so easily deceived thinking I was her former friend."
Katara…Caine released the fire bender's hair allowing him to fall to the ground. As he fell, Zuko saw a bird soar across the sky his mind wishing that he could be as free as the bird. His vision went ebony as his body hit the ground and old memories flooded his dreams, more or less nightmares.
