Island Captives

First of all, this is my VERY first Fan Fic, be nice peoples! I have plenty of other stories in my mind that I need to still write down in my special notebook, so expect more and plenty of stories from me!

Summary: Prince Zuko catches an earth bender. When they are thrown off his boat, they have to rely on themselves, will they kill each other? Or will they be able to set aside their differences and get off the island? But the earth bender has a secret, what is it and will Zuko find out before it's too late?

Any who, now onto the disclaimer. Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER! There, see I told you I would add that! Ahem, now if you would please excuse my momentary insanity, we'll continue with my story.

She screamed, why? She wasn't sure. Maybe to vent out some anger, or because she was hurt. Both would be very true. The young earth bender groaned as the pain in her arm grew. Fire benders had attack her home, she was one the only one who had survived. Sighing, she brushed away the light brown hair that had fallen in her face. Watching the strands fall back into place she growled, not in the best of moods. Her ivy green eyes filled with tears as the pictures of her home being torn apart by flames raced through her mind.

Sighing, she picked up what she had left of her home. A small drawing from when she was little, it showed her with her mother. Her father had run off to join the war when she was six and never came back. She was slightly happy for this, because she had never liked him much. He shouted too much, and was always trying to get her mother to join the Fire Nation conquest.

Groaning as she hoisted a pack onto her unwounded shoulder. She felt how light it was and mumbled something. The pack contained what little food she had found, well, without burn marks. Otherwise she would have needed a wagon! A single crystal tear rolled down her pale cheek, she was going to get the Fire Nation back, somehow.

Flashback:

"Kayorie, dear come back inside!" A lady stood in the doorway, watching a small girl run after a pale blue ball. "Come on Kayorie we don't have all day!" The small child ran, tripping over her own two feet. She screamed out as soon as she hit the ground, small rocks flew up beside her. A man stepped beside Kayorie's mother. He smirked, "She'll be an excellent earthbender…if only she could stop tripping over every little thing!"

Kayorie ran, grabbing her father's leg. "Daddy! I want to go up! Up, Daddy up!" The five year old girl squealed. Being picked up and twirled through the air by her dad, she was having a fit of laughter when he set her down. Sitting on the warm ground, she smiled.

End flashback

Tears had made streaks in her dirt covered face. Crying was something she almost never did. Gasping for air, she stopped. She had gotten herself lost. Somehow, she always managed to get herself lost.

"WHY IS THE WORLD OUT TO GET ME TODAY!" She screamed, her voice taken on the wind. The still darkness of night was beginning to crush her. She sat down, her eyes closing only briefly, 'Maybe just a small rest…then I'll be back on my way.' she thought.

Opening her eyes as morning light hit them. Everything was blurry until she blinked a few times. Standing quickly, she felt dizzy. It wore off after a while, still trying to stand without the aide of trees. She had a headache from crying so hard last night, that's why she never did. She couldn't figure out why crying gave her headaches, but they always came the morning after.

Kayorie struggled to walk, each step seeming louder than the last. Swaying uncontrollably, she stopped as soon as she was clear of any trees. Standing on a hill, she looked down on a market town. Her stomach grumbled loudly, she complied and picked out a few nuts. Munching on the soft centers of them, a group of scraggly kids peeked through the bushes.

"There's our next target!" One hissed, raising his hand, he let it drop and the rest of his gang charged. Catching Kayorie off-guard, the quickly made off with her bag. She took off after them, turning through the town. She ran into several people, and even more dead ends, before seeing them again. She noticed a firenation ship, but was too concerned with getting her stuff back to care.

Slamming into a cart, she fell back. Where had it come from? The kids laughed and made faces at her, confirming that they had pushed it. Her legs burned, looking at her badly torn dark green pants she groaned. "These are my only pair! I'm gonna kill those kids!" She hissed, her eyes dancing with anger. Shoving the cart out of her way she started the game of cat and mouse again.

Knowing where most of the dead-ends where, she quickly closed in on them. She had a good memory, but when it came to maps (Which it always managed to do.) she didn't have a clue. One could show her the same place over and over again and then ask how to get there, and she would shrug. Reading maps just wasn't one of her things. She tackled the kid with her bag and pried off his fingers. Standing up, she brushed dirt off her clothes. Finding a tear on the bottom of her pale green shirt, she glared at them. If looks could kill, then all the kids in front of her would have long since been dead. Raising her fist she sneered.

Feeling something on her shoulder she turned. Facing a Fire Nation solider, she kicked. Nailing him in the stomach she snickered. One of his buddies snuck behind her and, in one quick motion, brought her to her knees. Her fading vision confirmed the fact that she was about to lose conscious. The last thing she saw were a pair of boots, using the last of her strength she spat at them
