When I was six I lost my parents when fire benders burned down my village. Every since then I've been quiet, hiding in myself. I blamed myself for the incident everyday. My best friend Jet seemed to take the angry approach and wanted to have revenge on them.
Now a days we live in the trees, we built houses in the trees to be hidden from Fire Nation. Jet messes with the Fire Nation by cutting of their supplies to the village near by and stuff like that. There were other people that worked along side him help accomplice him. Together they or should I say we are called the 'Freedom Fighter's.' I'm usually in my hut alone, Jet knows I like to be alone. What makes it worse is that I'm a fire bender and he hates them, I truly wish I wasn't.
"AL!" I heard my friends's voice ring in my ears. My name is Alcina but Jet just calls me Al.
"WHAT?" I yelled back stepped out of my hut. Jet swung down a branch and landed right in front of me. "Whatcha need?" I asked with an uninterested tone.
"Me and the gang our going to raid some Fire Nation soldiers you coming?" Jet asked.
I sighed, "Fine let me grab my swords," He nodded before taking his hook swords and using them to jump on top of the branch. I turned around and walked back into my room and grabbed the duel swords that were in a case that held them, that I had left next to my bag. I put the case and rapped the strap of fabric around my waist to hold it to my side. I grabbed the brown over shoulder bag and ducked my head to put the strap on my left shoulder.
I pulled my black hair into a tight pony tail with a brown ribbon before I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a black long sleeved dress, the sleeves tight to my skin, the dress ending at my ankles which had a triangular cut that connects at mid thigh showing off my red pants that fitted tight to my skin, the pants ended at mid shin. On my shoulders laid maroon piece of fabric that ended half way before my elbow on my arm and right before my stomach and was connected by a black button that made a slight triangle opening showing the neckline of dress which showed a little cleavage. With reddish brown gloves that are cut at the knuckle and black flats on my feet. My dark red eyes blending in with my clothing.
"AL COME ON!" I heard Jet yell from outside.
"I'M COMING DON'T GET YOUR SMIRK IN A TWIST!" I yelled back taking a last glance at myself in the mirror before taking off.
We just hid in the trees watch the fire nation soldiers rome their were they set up camp. We've been hiding in the trees for hours. When suddenly three people came out from the bushes. Two boys and a girl, one of the boy's that was in front of the other two had his hair in a pony tail and he was wearing blue clothing probably meaning they were from the water nation. The girl behind him had hair loops and wore the same types of blue the boy was wearing meaning the both were probably from the water tribe. But the boy behind the water tribe boy had an arrow on his head that went on his hands too. He was wearing orange-yellowish clothes, that is what the air benders wear. But the air benders were wiped out a long time ago. The fire nation bended fire that made them no way to exit, I saw the water tribe boy's mouth move but I couldn't hear anything. His sleeve was burning but the girl moved the water and put it out, hm she is a water bender, that's awesome. The water tribe boy moved his mouth again but I still couldn't hear him. Jet motioned to Longshot and to strike the man and motioned to the rest of us to attack afterwards. After waiting a few seconds we call out from the trees I jumped down to a lower branch before jumping down in front of the guards.
"Down you go," I heard Jet say as he took out two men. A men started fire bending at me but I dodged the strikes before grabbing my swords and slicing his chest. He fell to the ground dead so I looked around and saw the water tribe boy screaming holding up a boomerang and charging towards a fire nation man, before he could reach him I ran over and I sliced his back a little before kicking him to the side.
"Hey, he was mine." He complained.
"Gotta be quick," I said winking at him before doing a flip and landing in front of a fire nation man with a sword. I swiped his side while he screamed out in pain and put his hand on it I pulled my swords back and kicked his sword of his hand before kicking him back till he hit a tree unconscious. I looked around to see the fire nation men dead or passed out, also seeing the water tribe girl standing closer then my liking to Jet. I mean Jet is my best friend but he is cocky and always flirting with the pretty girls it just makes me mad, i don't know why but it does.
"You guys took out a whole army!" I heard the arrow kid exclaim as I put my swords back in it's case.
"Pft army, there was only like twenty guys!" I heard the water tribe boy yell.
Jet turned back to them, "My name's Jet and these are my Freedom Fighters. Sneers, Longshot, Smellerbee, the Duke, Pipsqueak, and Al." He lastly nudged towards me. I gave them a wave but I wasn't interested.
"I'm Aang, this is Katara and Sokka." The arrow boy said. "You know Pipsqueak is a funny name." I heard the arrow kid say as he walked towards Pipsqueak and the Duke.
"You think my name is funny?" Pip asked his low voice coming out.
"It's hilarious," I heard the arrow kid reply when they both started laughing making me roll my eyes.
I walked over to Jet who was leaning against the tree, "I'm going back to the hideout."
"Are you sure you don't want to stay a little longer for the findings?" he asked a small frown on his face.
"I'm sure," I responded.
"You guys have a hideout?" I heard the arrow kid ask interrupting are conversation.
"Yeah, do you guys wanna see it?" Jet asked smoothly.
"Yes we wanna see it." The annoying water tribe girl said.
"Al, why won't you show these people where the hideout is as we look throw there stuff." Jet said. I just nodded and motioned for them to follow me. They followed behind me in silence.
I lead them to the rope, "What does this do?" The water tribe boy asked.
"Here," I said smiling fakely before knotting it around his hand before it pulled him up. I offered Aang the next rope but he said he could get up on his own so I just shrugged at him. Katara reached for the rope but I pushed her of, "I wanna make sure Aang made it up okay." I lied. She nodded believing it before I grabbed the rope and it pulled me off the ground and to the entrance of our hide out. I let go out of the rope and moved out of the way to see jet holding the water tribe as they came up making me mad. I quickly started to walk away.
"Hey," I sighed hearing Jet's voice. I turned around to see him and Katara walking towards me. "You okay?" He asked concern on his face.
"Just fine, I'm going back to my hut. No promises if I'll be there for dinner." I said to him before turning around and heading towards my hut.
I entered my hut to see Sokka looking through on of my bags. "Whatcha doing there?"
He suddenly spasmed out in shock that I was there and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand looking at the ground. "I-I'm sorry, I thought this was Jet's room."
"No problem, just you can leave if your looking for your girlfriend she is with Jet." I said casully.
I saw his face turned from confused to flustered. "No, no, Katara is my sister."
My eyes widened and I rubbed my neck looking down. "Oh uh oops, I mean... I thought she was your girlfriend cause you wore the same type of clothes and she was wearing an engagement necklace."
"You mean my mother's necklace? I didn't know it was an engagement one." He said as I looked at him.
"Well yeah it is," There was an awkward silence. "So pony tail guy, you gonna join your sister or your gonna awkwardly stand there?" I asked smiling a little.
"Oh right," He said awkwardly before leaving. I giggled to myself before taking off the ribbon of my swords and put the swords next to my bed.
Later that night I was laying on my bed looking at the ceiling when I heard someone enter my room. I looked towards the door to see Jet. "What do you want Jet?"
"You missed dinner..." He said walking forward a step.
"Well I did tell you earlier that I probably won't be at dinner." I said sitting up on my bed looking at him.
He sighed before walking over to me and sitting down next to me. "I gave a speech at dinner."
"So what you give them a lot." I said crossing my legs into a pretzel style on the bed facing him.
"Well I wanted you to hear this one." He said getting in the same position but was facing me.
"Then I'm sorry," I apologized.
"You know Sokka asked where you were."
I smiled to myself remembering what happened earlier. "Really?"
His eyebrows raised at me. "Is there something going on between you two?" He asked out of nowhere.
"No, I mean he just accidentally walked into my hut earlier and we talked a little bit."
"Oh, well anyway, tomorrow were gonna go off with Sokka on checking the pathways you know the drill... Do you wanna come with?" He looked at me.
"Nah, I wanna practice alone tomorrow." I half lied.
"Awe well, will I see you in the morning before we head out?" Jet looked disappointed.
"Yeah, um I should get some sleep." I said trying to get him out. He nodded at me before getting up. I smiled at him, he suddenly came over to me and kissed my cheek.
"Night Al," He whispered in my ear before heading out the hut. I could feel myself slightly blush at what happened.
I quickly snapped out of it before laying on my bed and closing my eyes as sleep engulfed me.
