A/N: More2Life- Thank you for being with me from the beginning! I'm not a fan of Tokka either…and it's so hard for me to write it…so there will be a slight Tokka in this, but it won't get serious at all. Sokka is just looking for someone to replace the empty hole that Suki left.
HarryPotterFreakyFangirl4Ever: Thanks so much :)
Kimjuni2: Thank u :)
So sorry for keeping you waiting…I had a lot going on…please forgive me!1 :)
Chapter 11: Ice Kingdom?
Sokka! Save me! Save us! Please, it hurts too much! Its so cold. He's going to kill us…you're going to be too late…too late…too…late
No! No Suki! Don't leave me, I can't live without you!
Save us…you're supposed to be my brother…you're supposed to protect me…protect me…protect…me
I tried Katara, I really did. Where are you? I'm going to come and save you, just tell me where you are. Don't leave! Please! I need you, I need you both!
Sokka sat up, his face covered in a cold sweat.
"Katara! Suki!" He called out, but the only one who answered was an angry Zuko.
"Shut up Sokka!"
Later in the Morning:
"Aang?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Sure Sokka, what's up?"
"You have to promise not to tell anyone."
"Ok, I promise."
"I had a dream last night."
"About….?"
"Katara and Suki. They said, 'It's so cold, he's going to kill us.' I think they are at the Northern Water Tribe."
"Sokka are you sure?"
"I know it sounds crazy but we have to try this! I mean what if they are-"
"Don't say that. They aren't. I would know if they were. But I'll take your word for it and we'll go to the Northern Water Tribe and check it out. Okay?"
"Okay. So when do we leave?"
"I don't know. We gotta tell the others first. I'm sorry if this might be hard for you but I'm going to need you to tell Zuko and Toph what you dreamt last night." Aangs face was serious, he looked so much older than fourteen-almost-fifteen.
"Uh-okay."
"Good, as soon as they come back from the village we will get a plan together."
Several Hours Later:
After a quick meeting and a discussion on how best to approach the situation the Gang climbed back on Appa and headed towards the North Pole.
XxXxXxXxXx
Katara shivered, her core temperature dropped another degree or two. Her breath was practically icing on her lips.
"Suki?" Her voice was barely a whisper and it hurt to talk. Suki lay huddled in a corner, her breathing slow and even. She didn't respond. "Suki?" Katara asked again, it wasn't like Suki to ignore her. Just as she was about to walk over to her best friend, a guard opened up the door, sending a burst of warm air into the anti-bender chamber. The warmth sent a burst of energy through the water bender and for a moment she forgot that she couldn't bend. Her voice echoed through the small room as she shouted and tried to bend the ice around her to send at the guard. Unfortunately that's not what happened, instead she was shocked painfully and the ice stayed in place. With a slight thud the teen fell to the floor in throbbing agony.
"Hahaha, stupid Water Bender. Your magic water doesn't work in here." A figure stepped out of the shadow of the guard and his voice echoed around the small room. Instinctively Katara and Suki flinched. His voice was a reminder of pain and suffering.
"What. Do you. Want." Katara stood and spoke, her voice shook with anger and hurt. She hurt with the physical tenderness of the electric shock and the emotional pain of betrayal.
"Katara? Why so hostile?" He snickered.
"Shut up Kisho. If you're here to torture me or something just get it over with." Kisho walked up to Katara and grabbed her chin and cheeks in his right hand.
"I thought you would have learned by now…I don't want to hurt you. I just need you to stay here, and lure the Avatar here. Once he's in our trap you and Suki were free to go."
"Let go of me." She spat in his face. With his free hand he wiped the spit out of his eyes.
"Now that is no way to treat me. I've been kind to both of you, and you have shown me nothing but disrespect."
"Well I'm sorry that we don't like to be held against our will in an anti-bender chamber that is freezing-our-ass-off cold! If you're just here to taunt us, then go."
"Fine. I will." Kisho gave a final sneer and left the room. Before the door shut however, he stopped. "Do you remember a guy named Jet? He was the leader of a group called the Freedom Fighters." When Jets name was spoken a shiver that had nothing to do with the temperature of the room shot down her spine.
"No. I don't know anyone like that." The brown-haired teen lied through her teeth.
"Sure you don't…"
"I don't so piss of."
"Are you-"
"Shut up and leave her alone." Suki spoke, her voice hard and raspy.
"Fine." Kisho exited and the thick door thudded behind him.
"Suki, you didn't have to….I was handling it perfectly fine."
"No offence or anything but you weren't." Suki said, then closed her mouth and eyes and went back to being silent as the ice wall behind her.
Sorry this is so short but I wanted to get this out here! I'll probably work on another few chapters so that I can post them every few days. Please R&R :)
