Sokka's POV

It was just another day. Toph was complaining to me, and Katara and Aang were off at a

nearby stream practicing their waterbending. Toph was just about to hit me in the head

with a rock, when she stopped abruptly and told me to be quiet. She then listened

carefully. "Toph what's wrong?" I asked quietly. "I thought I felt someone," she said

shaking her head,", but it's gone now." With this, she left. I looked around for whatever

she had heard, and saw nothing. I had the strange feeling that someone was watching me,

so I ran after Toph. " What's the matter, Snoozles?" she said in a mocking tone.

"Nothing," I said indignantly folding my arms," I just thought you might like some

company, but I guess I was wrong." I started to turn away." Wait Sokka, I'd love some

company," she said. We walked in silence for about ten minutes, before she whispered,"

Don't look, but I feel someone following us." For once I actually listened to her and

didn't look," I hope it's not Zuko," I whispered lowly. "Who's Zuko?" she said looking

very confused. " I will explain later." We started to head back to the camp, and Toph

would sometimes whisper to me that someone was still following us. When we got back

to camp Katara was making dinner, and Aang was feeding Momo. We all ate dinner and

as we were going to bed I asked Toph if the person was gone, and she said yes. So that

night I peacefully fell asleep. I was woken up by a loud crashing noise. I looked for the

source of the noise and saw a girl with papery white skin and dark black hair that just

swept the floor, even though her back was to me I instantly knew. Fire nation.
