Chereads / Fearless Benders / Chapter 4 - The Silence

Chapter 4 - The Silence

After what had happened I just had to keep practicing. I grew more and more tired as the time went on. I just knew I couldnt show any more fear for Jet. Sure he is powerful, but that couldnt stop me from one day defeating him. I had heard what happened with Zuko, and I looked up to him for doing what he had done. I had once redirected lightning just like he did. Although it wasn't as powerful as Azula's, Zuko was happy that it wasn't and told me I had gotten lucky. But he didn't understand that I wanted to feel as powerful as it would have been, I wanted to know what it had felt like. I guess I would never know, saying that there are only a certain amount of people who can bend lightning. Sometimes I wanted to learn how to, but Zuko would never let me. I stopped practicing and finally went to bed. I woke up to the sound of the door opening. It was Jet again. I sat up to see what he had wanted, while rubbing my eyes. "What do you want, at this time of night too?" I said with a yawn. He just stared at me, then he came to sit on the bed only to stare more. "What?" I said. I was confused and wonder what he wanted. Finally he looked away, without saying a single word. He layed onto the bed and stared at the ceiling. I had so many questions running through my mind. Why was he here? What did he want from me? What made him want to kidnap me? I had so many more but yet no answers. We sat in silence for a while, I had no clue what he wanted and why he was here on his own. Did he think he could take me on again and defeat me just like he did yesterday? I finally stood up and started to walk away when he sat up and grabbed my wrist, pulling me back onto the bed where I had been before. Yet still nothing had been said. Nothing at all. I didn't want to challenge him again, knowing what would happen so I just sat there with him. Still nothing was said. He layed back down and soon fell asleep. I was more confused than ever. Did he all of a sudden trust me enough not to hurt him in his sleep? Why did he just fall sleep like that? What the hell is going on?! More questions popped up in my mind than before! I had no idea what to do in this situation. Fight him or do nothing? I examined him in his sleep, and kept wondering what was going through his mind. I had bet someone was watching us through the camera to make sure I wouldn't try anything. I layed back down, and looked at the ceiling. No matter how comfy the bed was I just couldn't fall asleep. Hours went by and he still hadn't woken up. For some reason I got concerned and sat up. I looked at him to make sure he was breathing, and of course he was. I layed back down and tried my best to stay awake. I soon fell asleep too.
