As'/N – Hello! It's very important that you imagine this like a movie – it makes it even better!! Please review.
Emerald ran over the bumpy tree roots of the forest. "Em, come back! The games over!" Seth's voice echoed from a distance. There was no way she was going to fall for that. She laughed and picked up her speed. Emerald was always the last to be found during hide and seek, and she would like to keep it that way. "Emerald, really come on!" Her best friend, Brook laughed to her. "We're not kidding! We're not even supposed to be in here!" Lily joined in on the calling. Emerald ran farther and farther, her friends' cries soon grew quiet, and she was alone.
A small clearing was in sight, it's glow not as orange as the rest. Emerald ran for it, but came to a stop abruptly when she was pulled to a stop. She turned around in a small panic.
Oh, her dress had caught.
Emerald turned to release the hem of her dress from the grasp of the tree branch and heard a small thud behind her. Her heart instantly sped up.
Relax, Em, it's just a lemur… or a bear.
"Em, where are you?" Seth's voice called to her. Oh no, she had to run. Emerald tugged at her dress until it was set free, she turned to run. To put some distance between her and her friends' calls, to –
Emerald let out a gasp. There was a man, just behind her
"What are you doing here?" He didn't say it like a question, he had demanded.
Emerald stared at him. He wasn't a man. He was a boy, maybe even her age. It was his eyes that had deceived her.
"Wha- what are you talking about?" Emerald decided to play the role of an innocent teenager. Why shouldn't she be in the woods? What was wrong with it He didn't seem to take it, his eyes continued to watch her carefully. His eyes looked like they had seen many things… terrible things. Things that had hurt him.
"You shouldn't be here." They were caring words, but they weren't spoken that way. He said it like it was a warning… like he knew the danger…like he was the danger.
"Why not?" Emerald's voice rang with confidence even though she didn't have any. Try not to be scared, Em, Don't be scared. If this guy was dangerous, she had to be calm, or at least pretend to be. Be strong, Em. "My father's a soldier." She said to him, hoping he would leave her alone.
Something had changed in the boy's eyes. He cocked his head to the side, "A Fire Nation soldier?" His voice was louder, as if he wanted the trees to hear it.
He didn't sound afraid.
But she did.
"Y-Yes" Her whisper seemed to have triggered some sort of alarm.
They came from the trees. They binded her hands behind her back and gagged her.
Em felt like she would die. Her heart hammered inside her chest, threatening to break through her skin.
Em had one last look at the hawk eyed boy, who stared back into her fearful eyes with no emotion, until her eyes were covered with darkness.
A's/N: Wasn't that exciting?!?! When it says "like he wanted the trees to hear it" he – Jet - obviously wanted the Freedom Fighters to hear it! I hope you all caught on! Please nice reviews or nice questions, no trashing please!
