As promised, I deliver the first Sokka short! There will be another one after my next chapter (that is, if you guys like it, of course).
"Where is the kitchen?!" I shouted as I clutched my stomach.
I was standing in a long hallway alone, searching for some food. It was near sundown outside and I haven't eaten since my early lunch with the gang. This palace is so huge; I've been here for nearly a week and I'm still getting completely lost whenever I'm alone. Stupid firebenders and their giant palaces.
I came to an intersection in the halls and cried out in frustration. "Why do they all look the same?! With the big red drapes and creepy lighting!" I rambled to myself. What do I do now?
I decided to try the corridor to the left; knowing my luck, I've probably gone down the same hall twice already. Without anyone in the halls, it was kind of hard to figure out where you are going. Zuko dismissed the excess amount of servants, thankfully with the exception of the cooking staff and cleaners, so I haven't met a soul since my training ended with Suki and the warriors. Man, Ty Lee is crazy. I mean, I've always known she can block your chi and all, but she beat me down in about a minute. She also drove me crazy. No wonder Suki wants to join us when we leave for Ba Sing Se tomorrow.
Then, I smelled it—meat. Saliva poured from my mouth as I imagined the rich taste of hippo beef tantalizing my taste buds. I started to rush forward, my sense of smell searching for the source of my desire. I heard voices ahead a saw light peaking out of two large doors at the end of the corridor. That has to be it! that has to be the kitchen! "Supper!" I shouted.
My pace quickened as I raced towards the lit room ahead of me, the smells of new food plunging into my nostrils. It smelled delicious. As I neared the large doors, I recognized familiar voices coming from within the room. Aang and Katara must be in there.
My charge came to a halt as my face came into contact with something hard. I fell to the floor and let out a stunned cry. The door that had hit me flew back to its place as a boy and a girl gleefully hopped into the hall. They burst into fits of laughter when they saw me lying on the ground. I frowned
"Sokka, are you alright?" My sister asked through her laughter.
"The door hit your head pretty hard, I'm surprised you're still conscious," said Aang.
Katara scoffed at his remark. "Please, Aang. I'm surprised his thick skull didn't break the door in half."
At that, they hooted in laughter. I rose to my feet.
"Very funny you guys, now when's supper," I asked.
"Oh thank goodness," Katara said in mock concern, "At least we know he's alright. He's asking for the next meal." They resumed their laughter, so I stormed off, not wanting to be mocked anymore. Why does she always show off in front of Aang? Especially at my expense!
Short & sweet. Please feel free to review. No really, review!
