The Last Hope : sokka x reader x zuko

The Village

the next morning jet woke up early and took us to a tree.

he did some bird call communication with his friends while me and sokka waited.

sokka stuck his knife into a tree and listened for vibrations.

'nothing yet.' he said, lowering his voice, 'wait! yes, someone's approaching.'

'how many?' asked jet

'i think there's just one.'

jet whistled again, probably telling his friends what sokka had said.

'good work, sokka. ready your weapons'

i took out my glider, holding it to my side.

we waited for someone to come but the only person that came looked harmless.

'wait! false alarm...he's just an old man.' said sokka as jet jumped down from the tree to confront the man.

'what are you doing in our woods, you leech.' he said, brandishing his hooks.

'please sir, i'm just a traveler.'

i jumped down and landed between the two after jet had knocked him down.

'jet stop he's harmless.' i said, confidently.

jet moved his head and i felt myself lifted up by the arms and held to pipsqueak.

i kicked air into him, sending him back but he didn't let go of me and we just landed on the floor.

'Y/N' yelled sokka and i saw him scramble down from the tree.

'do you like destroying towns? do you like destroying families? do you?!' shouted jet to the old man, disregarding me completely.

'oh...please let me go...have mercy...' said the old man, terrified.

jet was getting angrier and angrier, 'does the fire nation let people go?! does the fire nation have mercy?!'

jet wound up a kick, but sokka stopped him with his club.

'jet, he's just an old man!' said sokka, crossly.

'he's fire nation! search him!' shouted jet.

pipsqueak stood up and pushed me to the ground near sokka, who helped me up.

then, he and smellerbee went to search the old man.

'but he's not hurting anyone!'

'have you forgotten that the fire nation killed your mother? remember why you fight!' snapped jet.

'we've got his stuff, jet.' said smellerbee, holding up the old man's satchel.

'this doesn't feel right.'

'it's what has to be done - now let's get outta here.'

they pushed past us as we looked back at the old man.

'come on!' yelled jet, running off.

i used my airbending to help the man up and ran back to the hideout with sokka.

'sokka! look what the duke gave me!' shouted aang, wearing a satchel.

'hey guys, is jet back.' said katara to me and sokka.

'yeah - he's back. but we're leaving.' said sokka, turning round.

'what?' asked aang

'but i made him this hat.' said katara.
