The first chapter got good reviews and people seemed to like it so I decided to continue this! Hope you enjoy :D Thank you guys
"Lock the Avatar in one of the rooms down below." Lexa ordered. "Make sure there's at least two guards by the door at all times."
"Yes, your highness." The guards chorused and bowed. Two grabbed the blonde's upper arms harshly and hauled the blonde towards the stairs down to the lower levels of the ship.
One of the flanking guards stopped in front of the Princess and bowed slightly. He held out the Avatar's staff in front of him. "We had this confiscated for you, Your Highness."
Lexa took the staff in her hands, examining the craftsmanship. "This would make an excellent gift for my mother." She turned towards the staircase and glanced back at the guard. "I will bring this to my quarters. Make sure to inform my cousin of our journey home."
"Of course, Your Highness."
The Princess made her way down the stairs, out of the freezing cold and into the enclosed, metal hallways. Lexa strut down the hall and towards her room feeling confident. After all these years she finally discovered where the Avatar was hiding; she could finally go home! Her mother would finally restore her honour.
She pushed open the door to her chambers and shut it behind her. Lexa carefully leaned the staff up against the wall next to her sword as to not damage it. She untied the armour from her chest and kicked off her boots leaving her in pants and her undershirt. She crossed the room, tossed her armour at the foot of her bed, and gracelessly flopped down on her mattress. The brunette put her arms behind her head and shut her eyes taking a deep breath to calm herself.
There was a long journey ahead. She wanted to rest while she could before the Avatar started getting restless.
After an hour long nap Lexa's eyes peeled open. She silently rose from her cot and stretched feeling her joints pop. A chill shot down her spine when her feet touched the cold, metal floors. Lexa pulled her boots back on and retied her chest plate over her torso then proceeded to open her door and stride down the hallway to her cousin's room. Once she arrived she pounded her knuckles on her door. A few seconds later, it opened to reveal her cousin.
"Anya," Lexa voiced. "Escort me to the Avatar's chambers. I have questions I wish to ask her."
Anya raised an eyebrow at the younger girl as she already started walking back down the hallway. "You mean you wish to interrogate her?"
Lexa waved her hand behind her to dismiss Anya's comment. "Call it whatever you wish, let's just go."
When they arrived, the guards stepped away from the door and one took out a set of keys. He quickly unlocked the door and opened it so Lexa could slip inside. Anya followed her cousin into the room and checked to see it was locked before turning towards the Avatar, making sure she was in front of the door.
Lexa eyed the Avatar suspiciously. "I wish to ask you questions, Airbender."
The Avatar crossed her arms. "If I am to be your prisoner, you could at least call me by my name."
Lexa's eyes narrowed. "You do not get to—"
"I'm Clarke." The blonde stated. She held out her hand and smiled at the brunette. "And you are?"
Lexa regarded the outstretched hand coldly and instead tilted her chin up slightly. "I am Princess Lexa of the Fire Nation, heir to the throne. You will show respect."
Clarke awkwardly brought her hand back to her side. "Um, alright Princess. Do you think we can get some food while we talk, though? I'm starving."
"You do not get to make demands." Lexa snapped. "Now, I have questions for you and I expect answers."
Clarke sat down on the bed by the wall, crossed her legs, and faced the Princess. "Ask away."
"Where have you been hiding for the last hundred years?"
Clarke's eyebrows scrunched together, which, admittedly, was really cute. Stop it, Lexa.
"Octavia and Bellamy said I was trapped in a ball of ice underwater the whole time."
"Who?" Lexa asked.
"Two people from the village you just attacked." Clarke crossed her arms. "They said that I've been down there for a hundred years. It felt like a day or two to me, though."
Lexa tried to recall ever seeing the two. She vaguely remembers seeing two teenagers, but she didn't really pay attention to anybody that was not one of the elderly folks. The Firebender turned her back to the Avatar to face one of the banners on the wall. "And how did you possibly get so far south?"
"Well," Clarke hesitated. "I, uh... I ran away from home after I was told things I didn't like. I took my bison Niylah and-" Her eyes widened.
"What?" Lexa snipped.
Clarke looked panicked. "My flying bison Niylah! I left her out there! Please," Clarke shot up and basically glided in front of Lexa; a little too close for Lexa's taste. "We have to go and get her! I left her alone when I went back to village!"
Lexa scowled at her. "Of course we can't do that."
"Why not?" Clarke all but yelled. "She needs me!"
Lexa rolled her eyes. She looked back at Anya. "Wait out in the hallway, cousin."
Confused flashed through her eyes. "Are you sure?" She shot the other blonde a suspicious look.
"Yes." The younger one confirmed. "Now go."
Anya bowed and knocked on the door. It was quickly opened and she left the room with a soft click of the lock. Lexa turned her attention back on the Airbender. Clarke was regarding her with such a look of hope Lexa almost felt back for crushing her hope underfoot.
"I will not have this boat turn around for your beast." Lexa declared. "I have already been away from the Fire Nation for too long. I will not delay my return!"
Clarke's gaze turned into something that seemed miserable. Her hands shot out and grabbed onto the other girl's. Lexa looked down and was in too much shock to say anything. "Please. She was so tired I couldn't bring her with me. I thought I would get back to her; she could die!"
Lexa tore her hand out of Clarke's grasp. "Then she dies for you. Guards!"
As soon as she yelled, the guards outside the door burst in. "I am finished here." Lexa started to walk out but stopped in the doorway. "Bring the Avatar something to eat."
Lexa rounded the corner and took a deep breath. Show no emotion. Emotions are weakness. That is what she was taught. She felt bad that the Avatar's pet would have to die, but she could not let anything affect her mission. She had to being the Avatar home no matter what.
Chapter 2 was a little better I think! I don't know how long this story will be but at the rate I'm going it looks long lol. Also spoiler alert: there's no way I'm actually killing Niylah the Sky Bison. Something will happen and she will come again :)
