Chapter 13
Someone new?
"Why are you following me?" Britta asked turning to face Alison. She was clearly still agitated.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to talk about what happened back there? You look really troubled." Alison said, Britta looked at her for a moment and then nodded.
"C'mon let's talk somewhere else." Britta said as they go to an area of the water front without any boats.
"My dad is off at war, and mom is following the troops with the supplies. My Uncle is so irritating though. He doesn't let me practice. I'm always too close to the boats to water bend. Or I'm too close to anything." Britta said
"He probably has his reasons, you're the only water bender in the village right?" Alison asked.
"Yeah and the only bender." Britta said
"He probably just wants to protect you then. With the war going on, the fire nation is going after benders in their raids. He probably doesn't want you bending so they don't come." Alison said.
"He's trying to be my dad though…"
"Listen Britta, I wish I had a family to go home to that cared about me as much as your uncle cares about you. He's really only trying to keep you and the village safe. I'm envious actually. It seems like you have it good here ya know?" Alison said as Britta nodded.
"Yeah your right, I should really be nicer to my Uncle. I guess.. He is just trying to be protective. Thanks... Ummm…."
"Alison's my name, and I'm glad I could help." She said smiling as it got late.
"So I'll see you around?"Alison said
"Why don't you come over for dinner? My uncle's a great cook?" Britta said.
"Sure. Thanks for the offer." Alison said smiling as they go to Britta's house.
"So, you're the Red Phantom huh? I've heard about you on the news. Its nice to see you and your friends helping people." Britta's uncle said
"Someone has to do it right. The war needs to end so everyone chipping in helps." Alison said as they sat eating the fish the Aunt had prepared.
"Exactly, we help with the food supplies for the troops here for example." The uncle said. Britta looked down thinking then barely touching her food for the rest of dinner.
Time passes as Alison had gone back to camp with Ross and Levi sitting around the camp fire.
"Hey, Alison! Are you over there?" Britta called carrying a bag with her.
"Britta? What's up?" Alison asked.
"I want to come and help you guys! You said it yourself, everyone needs to chip in and help to end the war right?" Britta asked.
"Guys, this is Britta the girl I told you about earlier. Britta this is Ross and Levi." Alison said introducing them,
"So you're a water bender? Levi asked
"Yep, I'm not that great at it, but I can heal too." Britta said.
"She sounds like she can be a great help to us." Ross said.
"Did you ask your uncle?" Alison asked.
"It took about three hours, but I convinced him. Please can I come?" She asked.
"Sounds fine to me." Levi said as Ross nodded in agreement.
"You're in Britta, we'll leave tomorrow." Alison said as Britta smiled and joined the group by the camp fire.
