Relief had flooded Nitesh as the blood benders hand wrapped around her own. For once their was no witty comeback or retort from him. Ever so slightly Nitesh could feel the warmth in her cheeks again. She would have enjoyed a longer rest but the blood bender seemed focused now. Her relief now swayed as the girls soft pleas echoed in her ears. A grim line covered her mouth, the blood bender speaking before she had a chance.<br/><br/>Could they really just leave him? She wondered. But the blood benders voice was cut short causing her eyes to dart in his direction. Water enclosed itself around his face, drowning him before her very eyes. Before she could even think another voice chimed in blaring her orders at the small group. Anger bubbled under Nitesh's skin. When would they stop killing people just because they were different? "We are not anomalous, we're different. We shouldn't be caged because we're not like you"she yelled in anger. Feeling the slight hum of metal bits that were scattered about, her foot slammed into the ground making the metal bits rattle.<br/><br/>Quickly she gathered what she could in her hands before she threw the bits at the water bender. Sadly a few bits caught in a separate moving piece of water. Nitesh grit her teeth tighter as time was wasting away quickly like the blood benders air. "Last chance or the next one is for you"the water bender yelled to Nitesh. Nitesh was running out of choices, and quickly.<br/><br/>Nitesh's burgundy eyes landed on the bender on the ground covered in bullet holes. "You want help,  then fine help"she said her words tight feeling the light hum of the bullets that riddled his body. And just as she had done to herself she pulled the metal bullets from his pale body. "I told you to stop!"the water bender yelled as circle of water enclosed around Nitesh's face. Water forcing it's way into her mouth and nose. Cutting off her air as her eyes tried to find their target.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> Dammit focus</span>she thought to herself, the pain subsiding.<span style="font-style: italic">Just need to focus</span>her eyes trained through the blurry confines of the water that enclosed around her face. And their it was the slight glimmer of the waterbenders armor.<span style="font-style: italic">No more, I'm sorry</span>she thought as the small balls from the other benders body made their way to the waterbenders body. Another shrill scream filtered through the water, she had hit her mark.<br/><br/>And just as quickly had the water suppressed her breathing did it fall around her drenching her clothes. Coughing and wheezing Nitesh fell to her knees as she tried to regain her breath. Swiping a hand over her wet face as she tried to pull herself to the blood bender. His body slumped over unconscious drenched like her own.<span style="font-style: italic"> By the spirits</span>she thought to herself as she scrambled to his side. "Wake up Dammit"she yelled her hands<br/>racing to feel his pulse. Nothing, Nitesh again grit her teeth "Wake up!"she yelled her hands beating down into his chest.<br/><br/>As she sat there next to him trying to wake him, it was then she realized she didn't even know his name. The guilt weighing her down as her hands continued to beat down on the blood bender. "Come on, we haven't even said each other's name yet, that's just rude" trying to keep the ever closing fear out of her voice and the stinging tears from her eyes. Finally one last hit came crashing down upon him leaving Nitesh sweating and exhausted. That was when she noticed his chest began to rise again, a sudden rush of life shooting his fame forward colliding into her. "You're alive" her eyes wide and swimming full of emotions. "Thank the spirits"she finally said her voice badly breaking. The emotional toll beginning to show on Nitesh but still she urged them to move on "come on we need to find some time to recover, quickly"she pleaded rising to her feet weakly offering the blood bender her hand<br/><br/>Via DragonGrame...
