So I'm trying to write this story again. I'm going right out and saying this. I'm pretty sure I killed my idea, but I can't make this better in the next chapter. Hopefully I'll be on more often so I can add more onto this. Hope ya all like it.

We come the gang stopping off at a nearby village for food and rest. Little did they know that the fire nation had already infiltrated the town to try and look for Aang. Thus making their little trip a much more difficult one now. But little did they know that someone was in fact watching.

A person dressed in a red travelers shawl was walking close by. Watching them from underneath a straw hat a golden blonde hair hanging in their face. Quickly they turned around, long flowing hair streaming behind as they walked down the alleyway.

"Where does all of our money go to?" Katara asked searching in an empty money pouch.

"Like I know." Spoke an annoyed sounding Sokka. "How are we gonna get any food?" He looked over at Aang, who was wearing a wrap around his head to hide his arrow tattoos.

"Hmm…" Aang tapped his chin in deep thought. When an idea came to his mind he held up a finger before Toph stopped him.

"I'm not working for any money." She spoke staring off into space. Aang groaned and hung his head before Toph stopped walking.

"Someone's following us." Behind them where a couple of fire nation guards. But they didn't seem to notice Aang and everyone else there. Quickly the gang hide behind a building and looked for a way out. Aang looked down the alleyway and motioned for everyone to follow him. After turning a corner Aang bumped into a fire nation guard.

"Hey, kid you should watch where you're going." The Guard annoyingly said to Aang. The avatar looked up at the guard and felt around for the wrap on his head, which was no longer there. "Hey wait a minute!"

"Run!" Aang lead everyone down the opposite end of the alleyway away from the guard, but was only stopped by two more guards. Before anyone could really do anything the stranger fall from the rooftops and landed on the ground in front of Aang.

"Run." The stranger spoke before unsheathing a sword from their belt. The stranger lunged at one of the guards and used the sword to knocked the guards weapon out of his hand. Aang and his friends started running down the alleyway.

After the stranger fought off all the guards, the ladder went to find the avatar. After running along the rooftops Aang was found at the edge of the forest.

"Who was that?" Aang questioned. Said person jumped down from the rooftops and landed in front of them again.

"Her name is Golden Phoenix." She spoke peering at them through her hair. "And she knows who you are Avatar Aang." Aang blinked a couple of times and looked around for Katara. Katara just shrugged and looked back at Golden Phoenix.

"Umm.. I'm Katara this is Sokka and Toph." She introduced pointing at the ladders. Toph gave a meek wave and Sokka winked at her. Phoenix just exhaled sharply and tilted her straw hat back a little bit.

"She can supply you with food and water for a while. But rest she cannot help you with." Phoenix explained walking into an empty alleyway. "Quickly. Follow."

"That was really nice of her to give us this food." Katara said packing some of the food into bags and onto Appas saddle. Everyone was back into the forest where they had left Appa. They planned on sleeping there for the night, where it was at least hidden from the fire nation. Appa waddled over to the river and started lapping up water hungrily. Aang laughed at this and spun onto Appa's head.

"Good boy. You deserve a good rest up." The avatar spoke patting the great beasts head.

Someone jumped out form behind the trees. It was a young girl wearing a traditional china dress, but shorter and with tight black pants on. Her hair was shimmering blonde and in two buns. In her right hand was a monkey staff made of wood and painted red with many symbols on them. She glanced around and jumped into a tree above Sokka's head.

"I'm not here." She spoke before climbing up the tree. Emerging from the trees were two fire nation guards wielding their swords.

"Having you seen a girl running through here?" They asked out of breath. Sokka was about to rat her out until Katara covered his mouth.

"Nono. No one's run through here of that description." She spoke quickly. The guards breathed out heavily in anger and ran back into the trees. When everyone was sure that they were gone Sokka looked up into the tree. The girl jumped out and landed next to him, causing him to a scream a girly scream. Toph busted out laughing, clenching her stomach and rolling around on the ground.

"I'm sorry did I scare you?" The girl questioned. Sokka took a couple of deep breath and stood up puffing his chest out.

"Uhh no, of course not. I wasn't scared." He spoke in a manly voice. Katara laughed loudly and smacked his back.

"Yeah, that's why you screamed." Sokka hung his head and walked away. The girl giggled again and held her hand out to Katara.

"Hello. My name is Akira. But feel free to call me Kira." She spoke happily. Katara smiled and shook her hand.

"My name is Katara. The one you scared was Sokka."

"I wasn't scared! I was… Surprised."

"Yeah well surprised people don't scream like little girls." Toph said standing up and brushing herself off.

"That's Toph."

"Yo."

"And over there is Aang." Aang jumped off of Appa's back and waved at Akira.

"Hi!" Akira laughed again and waved back at him. Katara looked at her curiously.

"Have we met before?" She asked Akira. Akira looked back at her and smiled.

"Maybe."

"That's pretty vague." Sokka said.

"Well do I look familier to you?" She asked Sokka. Sokka tapped his chin and studied Akira.

"No I can't say you look very familier."

"But you sound familier." Toph said staring blankly in Akira's direction. Akira studied her for a second and smiled again.

"Ah, so I was right. You are blind."

"Yeah. What's it to ya, sunshine?" Akira giggled again.

"You're very spunky." Toph smirked a bit and sat down on the ground.

"So where are you from?" Katara asked. Akira shrugged her shoulders and twirled her staff around her fingers.

"That's sort of a long story."

"Well we've got time to hear it."
