A Spirit's Challenge

Chapter 1

Sokka sat very uncomfortably in a corner of the… well he wasn't entirely sure what it was except that it had been whatever had been chasing him, his sister, Aang, and Toph one night, a few weeks earlier. Another thing he wasn't sure about was how he had gotten there. One moment he had been fighting along side his friends and his sister, and now he was stuck in this corner, tied up, and being watched by this annoying but pretty Firenation girl. He glowered. Where were they going? And what would happen to him. 'Curiosity killed the cat.' He reminded himself stubbornly as he started thinking about asking 'Plus she's the enemy. The Firenation. Not to mention I'M BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY HER!' He fumed.

The girl seemed to notice his change in temper and stopped doing cartwheels. "Something wrong?" she asked cheerfully, after checking for Azula of course.

"What do you think?" He snapped. She stared "Of course something's wrong! I'm being held hostage by you, miss everything-in-this-whole-entire-world-is-boring, and that demon girl!"

To his surprise, she laughed "Well we have names you know! 'Miss everything-in-this-whole-entire-world-is-boring' is Mai, the 'demon girl' is Azula, and I'm Ty Lee. And what I meant is there anything I can do about whatever is wrong!"

"Where am I? Where are we going? What are you gonna do to me?" He replied flatly.

"Well… um let's see… would you accept relative location?" she said grinning innocently.

He stared at her "Yeah… sure…"

"Somewhere in the Earthkingdom!"

He glared at her "Right. That really helps."

"Well it's not like if I gave you a specific answer it'd help."

He rolled his eyes "Sure. What about the other two questions?"

"I don't know." Ty Lee shrugged "Azula hasn't told us. Well not me at least. She might have told Mai, but I'm not sure. Well technically we're going to capture the Avatar. But that depends on where he goes. So I really don't know. But then you might know so-"

He breathed a sigh of relief as she was interrupted and took it back when he saw why she had been interrupted. Azula had come in and didn't look very happy at Ty Lee. Ty Lee laughed nervously. He heard another set of footsteps and Mai also walked in. She cast a mildly interested look at Ty Lee and then to him. Ty Lee flushed and backed up next to her friends.

"You're wondering what we're going to do to you?" Azula started, but Sokka didn't get the chance to hear the rest. There was a sharp bump that shook the whole machine and everything went black. But, right before he lost consciousness he saw two people. One, was someone he never thought he'd see again, but the other he was certain he had never seen in his life.
