Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender. I'd buy it though, and then I'd make tons of new episodes…
A/N: I know, it's kinda short.
Suki's POV
"Here, take this." Aang said, giving me his bison whistle. "Thanks, I'll get out of there as soon as possible." I replied, hoping they wouldn't catch the nervousness in my voice.
I ran off before Katara could change her mind about my plan, and headed in the general direction of the Fir Nation drill. It was only a matter of time before a sentinel found me.
"Hey you, what are you doing here." I took off running, trying to fake surprise, which wasn't much of a fake. I really couldn't believe a Fire Nation guard could spot me so easily. I only got a few feet before another sentinel jumped me from behind a tree. I fell unconscious with the force of the guards blow.
"Suki? Suki!" I mumbled and rolled over "Suki, it's me, Sokka." I bolted upright. " Sokka! It's good to see you."
We traded stories for a little while before I told him about the others and the plan. "Well, it seems that we'll have to find a way out of this prison. "Thanks for pointing that out to me, I almost forgot." My voice dripping with sarcasm. He looked at me funny and turned away.
I looked around. I was lying on a bunk in a sort of hospital tent. Outside I could see black smoke spewing out of a large hole in the ground. I coughed just looking at it. I looked at Sokka to see him drawing in the dirt.
"What are you doing Sokka?" I asked.
"Planning,"
"Planning what?"
"Look," He gestured to a dot on his 'map' "And these are all of the sentinels." He said, making a lot of little triangles all over the border of the mine.
"Well how are we going to get out?" I asked.
"I heard one of the prisoners talking. It seems that a ship load of new prisoners comes in every few days. The sentinels will pack around the path the prisoners take to get to the mine. We'll use this 'distraction' to sneak through the few guards still on duty."
"But the volcano might erupt before a new load of prisoners get here."
"We'll have to take our chances then." Sokka said solemnly
The following day no prisoners came and the smoke coming out of the mines worsened. I finished my shift of labor with Sokka. It had cost him his dinner to end at the same time as me. I was embarrassed, and flattered, that he would sacrifice his beloved food for me.
I met up with him and waited all night hoping another ship load of prisoners came. Finally, after the moon had begun to sink, a ship's horn blew, waking most of the prisoners. We're finally getting out of here, I thought.
First, we had to get Sokka and my stuff. Everyone's equipment was either burned or stored to be sold when the next ship came to pick it up. The warehouse that everything was in wasn't too heavily guarded so we snuck in, took our stuff, and left as silently as we came.
After Sokka and I had gotten ready, we snuck out of the tent and ran silently to the charred forest. Sokka coated himself in soot and motioned for me to do the same. I mad a disgusted face but did it anyways.
We got to the tree line before anyone saw us and were probably going to make it all the way to the beach had Sokka not gracefully tripped, alerting one of the remaining guards to our presence.
"The prisoners are escaping!"
Sokka threw his boomerang at the guard, but the damage was done. I grabbed Sokka's elbow and ran to where I tough the beach was. A squad of 6 guards ran into us, literally, knocking Sokka down.
I reflexively pulled out my fans and slashed at the two nearest guards. One of them dodged my attack, but the other was caught in the gut, getting the breath knocked out of him and falling to the forest floor.
Sokka got up and drew his sword, dueling with two other guards. That left me with three standing and one groaning on the ground.
All three of the standing guards attacked me at once. I tried to defend myself, but lost my fans blocking two of their swords. The third struck me in the side. And if pain was any indicator, it was bleeding pretty badly.
Sokka hit one of the guards in the head with the broad side of his sword, knocking the guard out cold. He just managed to bring his sword back in time to deflect the other guard's sword.
I ducked under a steel sword as it flew at my head and threw myself to the left, leaving me vulnerable, but dodging another well placed swing to my side.
Lucky for me, Sokka was a master swordsman. He kicked the one guard attacking him and swung his sword at one of the guards attacking me. The guard blocked it, but was thrown against a tree from the force of the blow. He fell unconscious and slid down the tree.
The guard I had hit in the gut had finally regained his breath. He ripped a small horn off his armor and blew into it, alerting the guards of the outbreak.
"Sokka, There's no way we can take all of the guards, let's get out of here!" I yelled.
Sokka nodded and hit the soldier in the head with the hilt of his black sword. We ran, leaving the two remaining guards perplexed. I took out the bison whistle and blew into it. In the background I could hear the Bison's low roar.
"The beach!" Sokka yelled in glee. We were almost there when a line of guards ran out from the forest, effectively cutting us off from the beach. "I count 20, there's no way we can get through."
Sokka understood, we needed a distraction. Appa was a few minutes away and it didn't look like the guards were gonna wait that long.
Sokka threw his boomerang and pushed me behind a fallen tree. I could hear the clink of boomerang against helmet. Sokka caught his boomerang and ducked down next to me just in time. I could feel the heat from a strong wave of fire char the fallen log.
The earth started to tremble and I jumped in surprise. "Sokka! I think the volcano's about to erupt!" I yelled to be heard over the rumbling earth.
"That's ok, here's our ride!" Sokka yelled back before jumping over the log.
I followed, prepared to be burnt by the fire benders. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the guards running along the beach. I would have laughed, but just then multiple geysers of steam erupted nearby. "Watch out, that steam will burn!" I yelled.
Sokka nodded and we ran carefully to the beach. Appa landed and we quickly climbed on.
"Yip yip, Appa!" Aang yelled, hoping Appa could hear him over the earthquakes. The mighty bison roared out and took off. The last thing I remember is Katara looking at me with healing water at my side before I went unconscious.
A/N: Hoped you liked it. Now although the summary says blah blah blah about them saving sokka, I think I'll just continue it (I have another plot in my head) Hit that little bluish white button and type in something (preferably nice) I love reading reviews. Oh, and I know this one is a bit short, but I'm not going to waste your time and add a lot of pointless stuff to it. :)
