It was like time stopped as Sokka watched it happened. He saw the firebenders gang up on Suki. He watched as they all started to attack her, and he tried to get to her, but the rebels were keeping him busy by attacking him. He wanted to just make them all disappear, and get to Suki, but he didn't know how. So instead he had to watch as Suki was overtaken by the enemy.

He could hear her cries of pain as the flames burned her. It only made his attacks angrier. He wasn't fighting like a warrior now, his emotions were in charge now, which was never a good thing.

Sokka's sword clanged as it hit the armor of the benders who were trying to take him down. They focused their efforts on Suki, knowing that it would drive Sokka crazy, making him weaker in the long run. While he was letting his emotions to take control, they could attack him any way they wished. It wasn't like he was thinking clearly, so even the simplest attack could take him down.

Plus, it was like taking down two birds with one stone. Suki couldn't handle this many enemies; she was a great fighter, but so many people attacking her at once made it impossible for her to focus her attack. She blocked an attack, only to get another from behind. They were wearing her down, which meant taking down the best warriors the world has ever known.

He tried to keep his eyes on Suki, but the rebels made that impossible. The more they blocked his view, the angrier he got.

The anger that was boiling within him caused tears to form in his eyes, blurring his vision. There was only one thing in the world that caused him to cry like this, and that was knowing Suki was in danger and he couldn't help. He was right there, and he couldn't do anything to help the girl he cared more about than anyone in the world. And if he failed her like he failed Yue? He wasn't sure he could live with himself.

He yelled out her name, hoping it would somehow help her in some way. It wouldn't, of course, but he was hoping that she could hear that he was trying to reach her and he was doing everything he could to get to her.

Slowly, he made his way through his enemies, taking them down one by one. The benders hit him, but his adrenaline was driving him now. It gave him more strength than he ever knew he had.

Somehow all his enemies fell to the ground, and he made his way to Suki. More warriors showed up to help, but he was so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't notice them. Saving Suki was the only thing on his mind.

He finally found her. She wasn't fighting though. When he found her, she was on the ground. The tears in his eyes fell, landing on Suki as he yelled out her name again.

The Water Tribe warrior fell to his knees, dropping his sword to hold Suki instead. His hands were shaking, but he still held on to her tightly.

"Suki," he managed to say, tears still falling. "Suki, come on. Open your eyes."

Nervously, he brushed some of her hair out of her face.

"Please, open your eyes, Suki. I'm begging you."

But she didn't. He could see the burns on her skin. He could tell how badly she was hurt, and he couldn't do anything to help.

Sokka clung to her and buried his face in her chest as he began to cry, begging for Suki to wake up again.

"Sah-Sokka." A weak voice came from her.

Her voice surprised him, and he quickly pulled away to get a good look at her. "Suki?"

She smiled weakly, which excited him, causing him to cling to her more.

"Ah! Ow!" She gasped.

"Sorry!" He pulled away once more, placing his hand against her cheek. "Spirits, Suki. I thought- I thought I'd lost you."

Once again he was crying. Suki wanted to do something, but her body was too weak.

"I… I'm not that… easy to… kill," she replied weakly.

Healers finally rushed over, ready to take Suki away, her and the other warriors that were injured. They didn't have to pry her away from Sokka, but he didn't exactly let go easily.

Before he let her go, though, he placed one kiss upon her forehead.

"Don't ever scare me like that again." He told her.

"I'll try not to." She replied with a weak smile forming on her lips.

The healers took her away, and Sokka followed, wanting to stay by her side to make sure she got 100% better.
