Chapter 2

Hiding

I know I said I'd wait for reviews but here's chapter two any way

I do not own The Last Airbender

Ryu rolled over, groaning. He slowly stood up and looked around. He could still see the Northern Air Temple in the distance, so he hadn't gotten that far. He turned to leave but heard someone approaching behind him. As he turned, he saw four Firebenders. As soon as they saw him they shot fireballs at him. Ryu spun his Staff, deflecting the fire and shot an airblast back at the Firebender. The Firebender quickly dodged it, firing back at Ryu. Ryu spun out of the way avoiding the blast, throwing an Air dagger at the Firebender. It hit him in the chest, killing him instantly. The others fired blast after blast at Ryu. He avoided them until a Fireball hit his chest. Knocking him backwards into a tree, Ryu collapsed to the ground. Thinking he was finished, the Firebenders moved in for the kill. But Ryu had one last trick left. He stood up and slammed his fists together, creating a sphere of air around him. He then pushed his arms out, expanding it. The Firebenders were thrown back with enough force to kill all of them. Ryu dropped to a crouch. Panting, there was a reason he never used that move. He didn't have the strength for it. Slowly Ryu stood back up and shivered. Realizing his Air Nomad uniform was torn and hanging by a shoulder. He heard more footsteps and ran as fast as he could only stopping when he saw a house he walked up to the door and pounded on it until someone answered. Please Help. He said just before he collapsed.

When Ryu woke up he was lying on a bed, he could tell his wounds had been bandaged. He slowly tried to sit up but his chest and side flared up with severe pain, he bit back a yell and laid back down. A moment later a woman entered the room. Oh you're awake! She said. Ryu only nodded. What happened to you? Firebenders Ryu said flatly. How long have I been asleep? Ryu asked only a day. The woman said. Ryu tried to sit up again but the same thing happened but he managed to sit up all the way. What's your name? Ryu sat there for a second then decided it couldn't hurt. Ryu he said. I'm an Airbender. I could tell from your tattoos. Only then Ryu realized his shirt had been removed reveling his tattoos his, headband was gone too. Before he could say anything a man burst through the door. Firebenders are here they're looking for the boy! He said. Ryu quickly laid back down. Covering himself with the blanket as best he could he hoped his hair was long enough to hide the tattoo on his head, he rolled over facing away from the door just in case. Just then the door opened again and firebenders entered the room underneath the covers Ryu tensed up. There's no one here. The Woman said it's just me and my husband and our son who's not feeling well. Ryu heard one of the firebenders walking closer to the bed and formed an air dagger under the blanket. The Firebender stood over Ryu for a second then pulled the blanket back exposing his Airbender tattoos. Ryu reacted quickly jumping out of the bed and catching the Firebender in the neck with his dagger, tackling him He fell to the floor and the others stood there in shook, Ryu shot two airblasts at them knocking them back. They recovered and charged at him Ryu shot two more air blasts at them this time more powerful one crashed into the wall; Ryu threw an air dagger at him before he could recover. He dodged another fire blast, it passed so close to his face that he felt the heat off it. Ryu shot an airblast at the fire bender knocking him into and through the wall. Ryu stood there panting for awhile before his legs gave way, he felt someone catch him then he blacked out again.

He woke up about an hour later, thinking it might be best if he moved on. He didn't want to endanger these people. He knew the fire Nation would be looking for him. He sat up and got out of the bed. And found a fresh set of cloths Ryu got dressed. And hobbled out of the room and found the people who'd helped him in the next room. Ryu stood there for a moment his hand on the door frame. When he entered the room they both looked up. I wanted to thank you before I leave Ryu said. Bowing. You're leaving? Yeah Ryu said. I can't stay here with the Fire Nation looking for Me. Ryu briefly wondered if he was the last Airbender. But quickly dismissed the thought there had to be other Airbenders out there. Where will you go? The Northern Water Tribe He said. An hour later Ryu was filling a pack with supplies when the man walked up next to him. Here He said handing Ryu a pair of Dual Dao swords. Ryu hesitated for a second then took the swords, slinging them over his shoulder. Ryu stood on the front step of the house. Thanks again for your help he said. Then turned opened his glider and took off. Ryu flew as far as he could, before stopping to rest. The next morning he took off again continuing his journey north. He managed to get over the ocean just as a storm blew in. Blinded by the wind Ryu didn't realize he had started to descend. By the time Ryu saw the ground rushing up at him it was too late, he tried to pull up. But slammed into the ice, he felt his arm break his glider snapped in two nearly impaling him. Ryu slide to a stop and laid still. Around him the storm grew stronger burying him in ice and snow.
