She ran faster and faster through the forest, the trees were tall and thick and the forest was so and green fresh Katara could smell the in the rain in the air, bur she wasn't paying attention she was to busy trying to get away from from him.

"Why is it always me" Zuko breathed as he ran faster through the woods, he had been running for the last ten minuets strait and was losing his grip, his armor was getting heavy and his boots were sinking deeper into mug with every step, it had been raining for the last few days and it was just about to start up again. With every step he was growing more and more angry and they were getting closer.

He noticed a huge tree in the middle of the dark forest the branches were large and thick "perfect".

Katara stopped unable to run anymore. She noticed a very large tree in off too the side, she pushed herself on the other side of the tree breathing hard 'maybe he'll just run right past' she thought then realizing how stupid that sounded.

He was getting to close and she needed to stop even if it was just for a moment, she gripped the tree trying to steady herself. "I hope Sokka and Aang are alright" she barley whispered. She remembered the events of just over about a little hour ago, her Sokka and Aang had stopped at a small island to rest for the night due to the heavy rain storm the nights before.

The island was abandon as far as they knew. It had only been a few weeks since they left the Northern Water Tribe and Zhao and the other Firebender Azula had been hot on there trail, so they decided to lay low until the storm passed and they could get to the earth kingdom safely. They didn't even know he was on the island until they saw the fire ball hit near Appa, and the next thing they knew they were surround by Zhao and his men. Aang attacked first using his airbending to send a huge gust of wind knocking over some of the soldiers.

"Appa" Aang yelled standing in front of him as the firebender's came closer to his flying friend. Sokka tossed his boomerang hitting one the firebenders Katata was using her water whip at Zhao

"GET THEM" Zhao yelled as the waterbenders whip slashed him.

"I'll throw them off, just get out of here" Aang yelled as the fight became more dangerous.

He jumped onto Appa taking off into into the forest "GET THE AVATAR" Zhao yelled blasting fireballs. A few of the men chased after him but there were still to many of them, Katara twirled and hit a few of them with ice spears.

" KATARA RUN" Sokka yelled as he fought off more soldiers.

"but Sokka" she pleaded as she hit another solider with her water whip.

"go I'll find you" he said

She didn't think twice she took off away from the soldiers she used the last of her water to knock them to the ground freezing them in place giving her an escape, she looked and saw Sokka was also running benders chasing after him. Katara turned to run when something caught her arm

"don't think so waterbender" Zhao mocked as he held on hard to her arm she felt it getting hot then it sizzled in pain.

He gripped her arm harder digging his fingernails into the freshly burned skin she cried out in pain "hurry up and get the others" he yelled to men trapped in Katara's ice, while he was looking away Katara kicked Zhao hard in the groin and punched him in the face he was dazed just long enough for her to get away.

"I still can't believe that worked' she thought as she looked at her burnt arm, she heard foot steps coming near her from the other way then, she gasped when she felt herself being pulled up into the tree.

Thank you all who read, I have another chapter ready, so just say the word and I'll get it up as soon as I can. :).
