Chapter 49

I pulled the helmet over my head, giving me a mask.

"I hope these disguises work" Zuko spoke as we leaned against the wall.

"Me too, I'm not really ready to get thrown back into prison" I joked, causing Sokka to give me a look, causing me to shut up. His voice, his body language and everything was serious, and I needed to respect that, he was looking for his father. He let me look for Long Feng so I need to give him the same right.

Suddenly, a rush of guards run past us before one backs up and glares at us"Guards! There's a scuffle in the yard. Come on."

----------------------------------------------

Once we reach the yard, a guard is trying to fight with a prisoner.

"I didn't do anything! I'm going back to my cell." the prisoner growled before turning around. The guard on the other hand had other ideas. A fire whip was created from his hand as he whipped it at the prisoner.

My heart raced as he yelled "Stop right there, Chit Sang."

  You little peasant!  

I felt like I was going to pass out, this couldn't be happening, not again. Is this guard about to whip this man? Zuko and I try to take a step forward but Sokka stops us. "We can't blow our cover" he warns, causing Zuko and I to watch.

"I've had it with your unruly behavior!" the guard snarled. "What did I do?" Chit Sang asked, confusion covering his face. 

"He wants to know what he did. Isn't that cute?" the guard chuckled before looking at the three of us with a look.

"Very cute sir" Zuko spoke. "It's so cute, it's almost adorable" I spoke with a fake smile. "SuPER CUTE" Sokka spoke.

"You didn't bow down when I walked by, Chit Sang!" the guard snarled.

"What? That's not a prison rule!" Chit Sang spoke offended. "Do it!" the guard screamed. "Make me!" Chit Sang screamed back, equally as angry. The guard then created a whip of fire and shot it at the prisoner

Chit Sang instantly shot it back with bending. "Tsk, tsk. Firebending is prohibited. You're going in the cooler. You! Help me take him in." The guard hissed before pointing at Sokka.

"Meet me back in an hour" Sokka whispers to us before running off.

Turning to Zuko, I take a breath "I'm going to go on my own".

Before he could protest, I turned and walked away.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey! You" a female voice called, making me turn around. 

"Yes Ma'am?" I question as she walks up to me. "I need you to check in on the Kyohsi Warrior in cell 234" she hissed. "What's her name?" I asked.

"Her name is Suki or Saki, I don't really care."

My eyes widened "Yes Ma'am.". Could this be the girl Sokka knew? 

My eyes scanned the cell names until I found cell 234. Slowly, I opened the door to reveal a girl with short hair and a look of anger.

"What did I do?" she growled glaring at me. "Are you Suki?" I asked, causing her eyes to turn to slits. "Yeah, what's to it?" she hissed, crossing her arms.

"I'm Mika, I know Sokka, Aang, Katara and Toph" I say, causing her eyes to water.

"If this is some sick joke, leave" she growls, causing me to widen my eyes.

"Sokka, you know the sarcastic meat lover" I say before her eyes widen with joy.

"He's here?" Oh my spirits!" she cheers "I knew he'd come"

"He doesn't know you're here" I say, causing her to frown.

"We need to tell him, you need to tell him, I need to see him" she spoke, her voice filled with worry.

"We will, we will" I say "I'm sure he'll be glad to see a friend" I smiled.

"Friend? No, no, Sokka and I are a thing" Suki laughs, causing my smile to fade. "Sokka and I are dating" I frown, causing Suki to look saddened. 

"No, Sokka and I, we kissed..I love him..he loves me...you must be lying!" Suki growled before taking a step towards me.

"Hey! What's going on here?" the female guard from before hisses from outside the door.

"This guard is being rude to me" Suki growls before taking another step forward.

"And this prisoner is trying to attack me!" I hissed, causing the door to open. "You know you're not suppose to attack guard Miss. Maybe you need a lesson" the guard growls before creating a fire whip.

Suki's face pales as she awaits for the pain. The pain I faced. "No!" growl before pushing the guard out of her room and metalbending her helmet so she can't see. "What the spirits are you doing!?" she howled, causing other guards to surround me.

In the crowd of guards, I spot Zuko, who looks shocked.

"Impostor!" a guard yells as he firebends at me. I quickly raise my hands, and raise earth to block the blast.

But before I can defend myself anymore, something whams into my head, causing me to black out.

---------------------------------------------------

My eyes are closed as I sit in a cell. Guards who can firebend stand around me, hands aimed at me.

Suddenly I hear the door open as a pair of footsteps enter. "Why isn't it my favorite freak?" Azula purrs, causing my eyes to shoot open as I look at the princess of the Fire Nation.

"We're going to have so much fun" she cackles as the doors close.
