Prompt #39: Conceal
Rating:
Summary: It was an empty watchtower.  She knew there should've been something wrong with that, but he was too close for her to really think straight.  And it felt like someone was watching her....  was she going crazy?  Was this some weird dream?

They settled down on the hard, creaking boards, suspended a good fifty feet in the air, in silence.  She broke the spell first, her voice sounding loud and out of place no matter how low she whispered, "What're you doing here?!"
    He didn't fail to notice the lack of kindess in her voice or how her eyes had hardened into two solid ice chips.
    Before he could get out any information whatsoever he pressed her to the floor after a breif glance out the window, "Duck!"
    She complied reluctantly, whispering, "What is it?!"
    "Someone's coming up."
    The solemn words hung heavy in the air.  For a short moment Katara almost thought she saw the thick words floating in the space between them, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye as Jet burst into action.
    In the darkness she didn't really see what he did, but she heard it.
    The loud clank of the ladder.  But no dull thunk, or "Oof" of someone hitting the ground.
    It was one of the few times in her life Katara wanted to hide.  To curl up in a corner and blend with the world.  SHe hated feeling trapped.
    And that's just what they were.  Trapped.
