Author's Note: Well, this is my first fanfic. (Then again, you probably read the summary so you know that). I warn you in advance: the prologue is suckish. It doesn't make sense (or even happen) until much later, no one has a name, etc. My excuse: I needed to start with something. The story gets much better, trust me.
Disclaimer: I do not own "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
Warnings: Maiko in early chapters, Zutara later on, one-sided Kataang and Tokka, and Edward Cullen fangirls. Lots of Edward Cullen fangirls. And some parody of my experiences at high school (I didn't intend for it to be offensive to anyone, but Soulja Boy fans, be warned!) Now I should probably stop before this is longer than the prologue...
Running… running… running… She couldn't stop running. She had to end this madness. She slammed a metal door behind her. Maybe it would slow them down… Maybe it wouldn't. Either way, she couldn't take a break. The door flew open with a clatter. So it didn't help much… She kept running, risking a quick glance behind her. Only one of them was left. It was somewhat fitting, considering that she was the last of her group standing to the best of her knowledge… She found the room that was the goal of her mission. It was empty, to her pleasure. She ran faster… better to go quickly now.
"Stop right there!" the one chasing her shouted, "You know it's pointless!"
But the really pointless thing was telling her to stop. She would only run faster. Only a few more feet… Almost there… And then…
Lightning flashed, hitting her in the leg. She fell. The package she carried dropped. Glass shattered. All was lost.
A/N: I warned you it was suckish... Please don't flame me.
