What if Yakone had a different motive?
He bloodbended Toph up mid air with the keys in her hand.
Sokka's eyes were frantic...
What is he gonna do with her?
Toph struggled against him.
No..
The handcuffs opened with a click.
Toph watched in horror as he flexed his hands.
"I'm not through with you yet."
Toph.. Sokka struggled even harder.
It was getting hard to breath for Toph.
Yakone bended her higher in the air and for the first time in her life.. Toph was scared.
"GAHHHHHH!" She screamed.. the blood in her body was moving in an unnatural rate.
Maybe this is the end.
Her muscles were twisted and she could hardly breath.
Now, high in the air.. Toph is slowly dying. Her eyeballs feel like bursting and her veins were popping up. Toph can't see what's going on or what's he doing but she can faintly hear Sokka calling out for her.
"T-To..p-p..hh." Sokka tried with all his strength to reach out and rescue her but he can't.
Watching the woman you secretly love like this has got to be the worst punishment you can get.
Toph's screams were painful to listen.
Blood was dripping down her mouth and Toph has never felt something worse then this.
Toph closed her eyes... not that it would effect her vision.
"Goodbye.." Toph silently whispers.
But then the pain stops.
She falls to the ground and hears the grunts and moans of Yakone. She feels the air on her face and the strong arms that carries her up and hugs her. She felt safe in those arms.
"Stay with me Toph.. stay with me." She hears.
The voice is getting fainter.
She feels herself getting lifted up in the air with the same pair of strong arms.
But after that... she can't hear or feel anything.
And is welcomed back to the darkness she see everyday.
Got this idea when watching the 'out of the past' episode again.
Did you see how Sokka's eyes were focused on Toph when Yakone bloodbended her?
The feellllss.
