Chapter Six: Suki's discovery

The day before Sokka and Suki's marriage:

Everyone was at Ember Island getting ready for Sokka and Suki's long awaited marriage. Last minute details were being attended to. With the wedding a little more than twenty-four hours away the bride was very stressed. The perfect thing to de-stress her was to take a walk along the beach, alone.

"Sokka, I'm going to go take a walk on the beach."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, its fine. I'll be back in an hour or so. I love you." She kissed him sweetly and then left the beach house. The sun was slowly sliding over horizon when she took the first steps on the beach. Her pace was slow and leisurely, like she didn't have a care in the world, which was the polar opposite of the truth. With the wedding less than a day away her mind spun with all the things she had to remember.

Did I remember to have Kataras dress altered? How am I going to get Toph to wear the shoes for the ceremony? She is not shoving her feet through the bottom, those shoes were so expensive! AH! Did Sokka remind Aang what time the wedding was? He usually doesn't remember that kind of stuff… When are the guests arriving on the beach again?

Just breathe, Suki, breathe. You've fought battles against fire-benders during Sozin's comet, you can get through a wedding. Just find a nice, dry, place on the beach and meditate. The oceans waves will help clear your mind…

She found a flat rock not too far from the shoreline and sat down. Her legs were folded and she shut her eyes. All of her thoughts focused on keeping her breathing slow and steady. Suddenly she was startled out of her meditative state by the sharp noise of sandals cracking lard twigs. The Kiyoshi warrior silently stood up and tiptoed over to the area where she thought the noise had came from. At the brim of the woods stood two figures, one was hidden by the shadow of the trees, and the other…was Kisho.

Is that Kisho? What is he doing over here? And who is he talking to?

She crept closer in order to hear the conversation.

"Is everything ready for the raids?" The man she thought was Kisho asked.

Ho-ly crap! It is Kisho! What have I done? If I tell Katara her heart will be broken and it will be all my fault! But if I don't tell her it might cost her life. It might cost all of our lives.

"Yes sir. Everything is in place and we are ready to attack on your order." Shadow man replied.

"Perfect. If they thought the spontaneous fires were a threat…wait until they see what we have in store for them!" The man she knew was Kisho said with a small evil chuckle. "Here, give this to our leader and tell him that we aren't ready to attack the palace yet…maybe in a few weeks when I get closer to the Avatar."

"Of course sir." The other man melted into the shadows, leaving Kisho standing there.

I've got to tell Katara!

Suki sprinted all the way back to Zukos beach house. She arrived at the steps out of breath and with windblown hair. Zuko was sitting on the steps, watching the final moments of the sunrise.

"What happened to you? Did you go for a run or something? You look like a mess…no offence." He smiled at her jokingly.

"Not now Zuko. And it's not nice to be mean to the bride the day before her wedding."

"Someone's in a bad mood…" The Firelord grumbled. He walked back up the steps and Suki was alone.

I need to find Katara before Kisho does. I don't know if he saw me, and if he did…

Just the thought of what might happen to the Gang was enough to send shivers down her spine.

This was definitely one of my short chapters, only about 655 words without my A/N's. Sorry about that. but the next one will probably be long. Haha, moving on….well there really isn't anything to say.
