Chapter 17
Not the way it should've happened
"Alright Alison, it can't be that hard to tell Levi the truth." Ross said as Alison sighed leaning on a tree. Not quite ready yet to tell the truth to Levi and Britta. She was still surprised at how well Ross took it.
"It's not that easy. I've been lying for so long now, how well can someone take that kind of news in a war like this?" Alison asked/
"Levi will understand, you two are really good friends and friends sometimes hide things from each other. I bet Levi hasn't told you some things about him yet. You're worrying over nothing." Ross said as smoke started to be seen coming from where they had left Levi and Britta.
"Looks like something bad is going on." Alison said heading towards the smoke.
"Wait for me." Ross said following behind her.
When they got back to their camp, Levi and Britta were surrounded by fire nation soldiers. They fighting them, and holding their own. The general was nowhere to be seen.
"Its just a few soldiers today, that's weird?" Alison said confused jumping in to help Britta and Levi followed by Ross.
"Something's not right here." Ross said earth bending some soldiers backwards. Britta whipped some more soldiers with water bending before nodding.
"I agree with Ross, something doesn't seem right." She said as Alison glanced around before the soldiers seemed to back off slowly one by one.
"What the…" Levi started to say something before a giant fire ball comes from the distance. It was clearly the product of a few hours of feeding it and several benders.
"That thing is coming in hot!" Britta said as Alison sighed looking around. The fire ball was coming in too hot and there was no time to dodge it.
She knew she had to do something… Although she didn't want to fire bend, that fire ball needed to be re directed.
"Everybody duck!" Alison said stepping in front of the fire balls path. Levi, Britta and Ross stood in shock as the fire ball split in two as it reached Alison successfully being sizzled out. The soldiers who were standing by all stood wide eyed.
"Allie? What did you just do?" Levi asked. Alison looked physically tired out from deflecting the fire ball and didn't look at her friends.
"The Phantom is a fire bender? General Tinedo, what do we do?" A soldier asked/
" Regroup and figure out a new approach for now." General Tinedo said as the soldiers finally left.
