Disclaimer: dont own avatar, sorry kids. I know i'd be the best director, but no such luck
I was sitting on a rock; looking at what I thought was the sunset. You know, sometimes it sucks being blind when you cant see things like the sunset. I've heard it's really something breathtaking, but I'm not one to wallow in my self pity.
But I digress.
I was sitting on a rock when I heard footsteps approaching. I did not turn my head or make any sign of recognition. It was Sokka, I could tell because of the way he walked with a slight spring in his step and the amount of pressure from his weight. Well, better him than Sugar Queen.
"I see you haven't killed Appa," he tried to joke. I did not acknowledge him.
"Are you doing ok?" he asked, nearing me. He had to be about five feet away, directly in front of me.
"You're blocking the sunset. I was watching it."
"Ok Toph, knock it off. The sunset is the other way…and besides, you cant see," he reminded me. I simply scowled deeper. Again, I was underestimated. Sure I couldn't see the sunset, but I thought I was facing the direction and it allowed me to pretend I was watching it.
"No Sokka. I am not going to knock it off. I am taking a vow of silence after the next two sentences. Yes, I will continue traveling with you. No, I will not talk anymore, no matter what you try to do," I said, enacting my plan. I wish I could have seen his face…to see the shock on it of course.
"What are you talking about Toph? You cannot be serious," his voice seemed to crack. I simply gave him a raised eyebrow matched with an incredulous look. The boy grabbed onto my arm and pulled me off my rock. He seemed to be tying to make me snap out of it; as if shaking me off my rock would do that. I was tempted to yell at him, but then I remembered I was in a vow of silence. Damn, this not talking thing was going to be hard.
"What is this about? What happened," he asked, or interrogated it seemed like. I shook my head which only made him cry in frustration. "Please Toph?"
I stared ahead, giving no response. I knew this was bothering Sokka but that was exactly what I aimed for. If my friends underestimate and are not thankful for me, I was going to make living with me harder. Sokka took a couple steps back.
"You know, I'll just go tell Katara about this. She'll know what to do," Sokka said, trying to sound assertive, but instead his voice cracked under the stress of the implications. He didn't even make it ten yards before he tripped over a log and was out like a light.
I sighed, walked over, and dragged his unconscious form back to Appa. He slept like a baby. Well, at least some presence of my friends was better than none.
