Chapter Four of my vampire/monster Zukka AU You Cannot Take My Heart Alive is up!
Our boys are in the snow wearing fabulous coats (art, as always, by @averager4t, though collaged by me today), and trying to kill each other:
“You make it worse, you know,” Zuko continued when Sokka didn’t immediately respond. “That kind of moon curse is supposed to be short lived, but I can see how it’s burrowed into you. Doesn’t happen by accident. You’re clinging to it.”
This vampire was going to die.
As soon as Sokka could get his limbs free, Zuko was going down.
“I’m going to kill you,” Sokka said. “I hope it’s a slow death.”
Now the vampire did laugh. “I’m going to live forever.”
Sokka took a breath. It should have been harder. He should still be terrified, but anger has pushed that aside. Fuck waiting for Katara and Aang. Sokka tried to kick his feet, then cried as a jolt from the spell tore through his legs.
The vampire laughed again. “See? I don’t need to kill you. You’ll kill yourself.”
“I’m going to drain all the blood from your body,” Sokka hissed.
The vampire gave another snort. “Oh? Are you a vampire now?”
“Die,” Sokka spat, trying again to free his legs.
