When Kassy caught up to Naz, she was picking her way through the crowd of people, making her way to the two men. Kassandra grabbed her friend's arm—bad move. Naz must have really been on edge, because she twisted around and made a shoving gesture with her hand, sending Kassandra sprawling on the ground.
"Oops." Naz said when she finally got a look at Kassandra.
"Yeah, oops."
Naz was too busy helping the other girl up for either of them to notice the two men that had walked up behind them and were watching them expectantly.
"Good day, girls."
The two girls whirled to look behind them, and Kassy's eyes widened.
"Oh, no need to be scared. We won't hurt you," one of the men said, reaching out to grab Kassandra by the arm. She jerked away and flung her hands toward him, sending about half the pool jumping out to drown the two men. They stood up moments later without showing any sign of difficulty or discomfort. Kassandra shifted uncomfortably and turned to smirk at Naz. "If things go bad, I'm blaming you."
Then two men arose, both sets of their beady eyes resting on the younger girl.
"You should not have done that, silly little girl."
She let out a whine-like noise. "I'm not a little girl, dumbass. I'm a waterbender." She raised her hands to summon more of the water out from the pool, but the second man had a gun out in a moment's notice and shot, a dart imbedding itself in Kassy's side. She gasped in pain and yanked the dart out, turning to glare at the shooter.
"You stupid, ignorant, son of a—" She interrupted her sentence to yawn, quite loudly, before falling to the ground. The man smirked.
"Attitude gets you nowhere." He then turned to Naz. "Now then, you can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Which do you prefer?"
Naz glowered at the offenders, eyes widened, and a plan clicked into place in her head. She grinned internally, but sighed in defeat to the men. Just as they moved towards her, she shouted as she shoved her arms forward forcefully, throwing the two men a good 10 yards away, both slamming their heads against the side of the house. "Come on Kassy, wake uppp…" She muttered, anxiously shaking the younger girl. Kassandra shifted on the ground, yawning in her sleep.
"Mmm….No Lynn, I don't want to ride a unicorn. Horns. Sharp. The union will find us with the dinosaur-banana tracking devices…"
Naz rolled her eyes and used the bent the air so that Kassy was levitating a few feet above the ground. She looked around and barely noticed the other party goes screaming and running like a crazed mess. Naz sighed, unsure how to control the mob. Her only idea was pretty stupid, but humans were stupid. She whistled to get everyone's attention. Everyone turned to her, their eyes scared.
"Hey everyone, listen up! You just witnessed an Elements show! Now, no need to be frightened, all that was an act! We're this show that travels the States, using tricky little maneuvers to make it look like we can bend the elements. It's really great if you guys ever feel like coming to one of the shows!" The men were coming towards them. "And now we've gotta go! Anyone feel like helping some elementalists out and giving us a ride home?" She asked anxiously.
"I'll do it." Someone said from the back of the crowd, and Naz tensed.
"Shit" She muttered, watching Jokku and Lynn emerge from the crowd.
"Moneys like bananas. Heehee, mokeys. Oh magical dinosaur tracking device, don't hurt my petunias. They're such pretty flowers…" Kassy muttered, and Naz smacked herself in the forehead.
She hadn't even realized how much the two men were closing in until she felt a violent hand grip her arm and yank her aside, tossing her to the ground. She lost her concentration on levitating Kassandra, who fell to the ground, hard.
"Naz!" Lynn shouted.
Then several things happened at once. Jokku shouted in anger, and the two men went up in flames. At the same time, Lynn had run up to the unconscious waterbender on the ground. She closed her eyes and touched her fingers to the ground. A crack began to form, growing bigger and bigger as it ran in the ground toward the men, who'd jumped into the pool to extinguish the flames. All the teens at the party were a crazed mob, running like they were on fire too. Which of course they weren't. Jokku wouldn't have been so sloppy. The crack reached the pool, and the water rushed through the crevice in the ground. Naz, on the ground where the man had thrown her, rolled to her side and coughed. She stood up shakily before shuffling her way to the edge of the pool. She used her energy to lift the two men, now burnt and wet useless lumps of barely living meat, up into the air. 20 yards….50…..easily 200 yards up into the air, before releasing her grip on them, allowing them to plummet to their deaths.

"Would you like to tell me just what you hoped to accomplish by not telling me you were in trouble?" Jokku asked Kassandra, setting a cup of tea down in front of her and taking a seat beside her on the kitchen table. She wrapped her hands around the mug and stared into it dejectedly. She sighed.
"I was going to call you, but Naz wanted to show you she could handle things on her own."
Jokku scoffed. "Look how well that went."
"We would've been fine." She said, but even she knew she was wrong.
"Well, you do realize that this just means we have to move again, right?"
Kassy sighed. "I hate this, you know."
Jokku pursed his lips and stood up. "Usually I'd tell you it's not your fault, except this time it is."
He left the kitchen and Kassandra exhaled angrily, tossing the mug across the room, where it crashed into the sink. The noise must have alerted some of the others, because in came Andrew and Kye.
"Kassandra, is it true you almost got caught today?" The thirteen year old asked, and Kassy sighed. She noticed Andrew was also watching her, waiting for a response, and she moaned, letting her head bang down on the kitchen table.
"Yes, it's true, and it's the most embarrassing thing ever. I mean really, a freaking DART?" She said, kicking one of the other chairs. Andrew's lip quirked up into a smile.
"Must have been a pretty sick dart to take you down, miss Water-bender supreme."
Kassandra smirked. "Don't tell Aya that."
"Uhh…..I think I may just have to now that you asked I don't."
She laughed. "Fine then do it. I don't care either way."
"My sister's pissed, you know, that this is all her fault."
Kassandra turned to glare at Andrew. "Your sister can get over it, because it is her fault. I voted we call you guys, but she felt like she had to prove herself or something. Look where that got us."
Andrew raised an eyebrow. "You're seriously pissed."
Kass sighed. "No, I'm not. I've just got Jokku up my ass, making me feel as if I just single-handedly destroyed the world, and it's seriously downing my vibe."
"Kassandra?" Kye asked, his eyes wide.
"Yeah?" She responded.
"Why'd they almost get you? Didn't you fight them off?"
She blushed and looked down. "Well, yeah, but…." She looked up at Andrew for back-up, but instead found him also staring at her expectantly and sighed.
"Look, if you want to survive, there's something you need to know: We aren't invincible. In fact, we are very vulnerable. If we forget that Kye, then we're orchestrating our own defeat. Too much pride, and one day it'll bite you in the ass."
