I watched them from behind the bush. Jet, Sokka, and some of the other Freedom Fighters were hiding in the branches checking the roads. I always hid here, just incase what they did was unnecessary. Suddenly an old man passed by me, oh no. Jet and the rest of them started coming out of the trees and harassed the man. I sighed they were practically muggers, I never faced Jet about this cause I truly hate fighting with him but I know lately he was starting to go to far with this fire nation revenge stuff.

I came out of my thoughts to see them walking away. I quickly ran over to the old man that was laying on the ground. As I helped him up I meant to see if Jet and his crew were gone but instead I met eyes with Sokka. Our gaze was held for a couple of seconds till I pulled my eyes away to look at the old man. "Are you okay?" I asked the man helping him up.

"Yes, thank you." The old man said his voice slightly shaking.

"No problem, do you think you can make it where you are going?" I asked in a concerned tone.

"I think I can but once I'm there I don't know what I'll do they stole all my money." He said having a frown on his face.

"Here," I gave him a sack of gold pieces that I kept with me.

"Thank you so much," He had a small smile on his face before hobbling away down the road. I quickly went back where I came from and started heading back towards are hide out.

Once I found the rope to get up to the hideout I yanked it with a sudden jolt I was pulled up to the entrance of the hide. Right there was Jet's hut, I suddenly heard Sokka yelling in there. I walked towards the door and peeked in.

"That man was an assassin Sokka. He was concealing the knife. He was sent to kill me, you saved my life Sokka." I knew Jet was lying, that was the knife he had found in the middle of the woods with a dead body next to it.

"Whatever," I heard Sokka mutter before he started heading my way. I panicked and pulled myself away from the door and started walking away. "HEY AL!" Sokka yelled to me making me stop in my place and turn around.

"Hey Sokka, what's up?" I asked trying to be calm.

"Can I talk to you?" He asked.

I nodded, "Sure why don't we head to my hut?" He nodded meaning yes.

We both walked to my hut not saying another word. Once we entered it I sat on my bed. "So what did you want to talk about?" I asked taking off my bag and putting it next to me.

"It's about Jet and you " He said sitting across from me.

"Okay, shoot," I said causally taking an apple from my bag and taking a bite. "Want one?" I asked part of my mouth full of apple.

He shook his head as I swallowed. "Why did Jet hurt that old man and why did you help the old man behind Jet's back?"

I gulped, "Lately Jet has been more... aggressive with any fire nation people. I don't know why, he just does i guess. And I helped the man because... well I just do that because he blows it out of proportion. I mean mugging little helpless girl or old men who can barely walk is just RIDICULOUS!" I shouted the last word. Realizing me shouting at him I took in some deep breaths. "Uh sorry," I mumbled.

"It's fine, I totally agree with you, it is ridiculous." he said truly.

"He used to be kind, but recently his been crazy about the fire nation stuff. I feel like I don't know him anymore." I looked down with a frown on my face.

Sokka placed a hand on my shoulder. I took in a deep breath before looking up at him. "Wow, it looks like I talked to you more then you talked to me." I said with a slight chuckle. He chuckled too before a bell rang making me stand up. "Sounds like its dinner time," We left to dinner.

That night I just wouldn't sleep, "Let's go," I heard Jet's voice from outside. What are they up too? I asked myself quickly grabbing my swords before walking out my hut to see them going down the ropes. I was contemplating following them but I felt like I should.

I went running across the paths as quietly as I could after tying my swords to my side, once I reached a turn I jumped and grabbed onto a branch before landing on another one. They we pushing a cart filled with barrels of something. As they moved along I moved through the branches. they stopped at the edge of the forest near the village. "Don't blow the dam until my signal." Jet said to them making my eyes go wide. "If the reservoir isn't full then they could still make it out alive."

The Duke stepped up, "But what about the people in the town? Won't they get wiped out too?"

Jet walked over to him and put his hand on The Duke's shoulder. "That's a price we have to take to get rid of the fire nation." He said softly to him as I gritted my teeth in anger and shock. He stood up straight and looked at Longshot. "Now don't blow the dam until my signal got it?"

Suddenly I saw Pipsqueak reach into the bushes and pull out Sokka by his hair. Smellerbee put her knife at his throat. "Where do you think your going ponytail?" I froze in shock.

The sun was raising, "Sokka I'm so glad you decided to join us." Jet said standing in front of them.

Smellerbee and Pipsqueak pushing him harshly forward. "I heard your plan to destroy the earth kingdom town." Sokka said holding his shoulder.

"The plan is to rid the valley of fire nation." Sokka stood up as Jet spoke.

"There are people living there Jet! Mothers and fathers and children!" Sokka exclaimed at him.

"We can't win without making some sacrifices." Jet said before placing a string of hay in his mouth.

"You lied to Katara and Aang about the forest fire!" I could feel myself getting slightly light headed as this went on. I can't believe Jet would go this far...

Suddenly I snapped out of my thoughts to see Smellerbee and Pipqueak grabbing him as Jet grabbed his wrist with his hook swords. "I have to prevent you from telling Katara and Aang," He pulled his swords away from Sokka. "Take him on a walk, a long walk." He commanded.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Sokka yelled at him.

"Cheer up Sokka, we're gonna win a great victory against the fire nation today." Jet said as Smellerbee and Pipsqueak pulled Sokka away. My brain scattered at what to do next. Get Sokka, came first to mind so I guess I'll do that. I started jumping branch to branch till I kept up to them. I didn't pay attention to the conversation. Taking in a deep breath I slid down the tree as silent as possible. I snuck up behind them and stood next to Sokka and put a finger over my lips telling him to stay quiet. I jumped up and hit them both with my elbows on the head.

They both fell over unconscious, "Sorry," I mumbled.

"Thanks," Sokka said taking off the rope on his hands.

He opened his mouth to say something but I spoke. "I know Jet's plan, we need to do something."

"There is no way we an get the blasting jelly..." He commented.

"The village! We can go to the village and get all the people out of there!" I exclaimed.

He nodded at me before we ran to the village.

...

I saw Jet frozen to the tree as we arrived at the scene on Appa. "It will be safe, without you." Sokka said as he landed Appa. "We warned the villagers of your plan."

"Who is we?" Aang asked. I got off the saddle and sat next to Sokka.

"Uh, Hi," I looked at Jet to see complete shock on his face.

"You what?" Jet said the shock in his voice too.

"At first they thought we were spies until the old man came forward, the old man you attacked. He urged them to trust us. We got everyone out in time."

"Sokka you fool, we could have freed this valley." Jet said still struggling through the ice.

"No, they all would be dead." Sokka commented.

"You traitor!"

"No Jet, you became the traitor when you didn't help those people!" Sokka exclaimed looking directly at Jet.

"Are you gonna join us?" Sokka asked looking at me.

I sighed, "I don't know, let me talk to Jet alone then I will give you my answer. I'll meet you at the hideout afterwards." He nodded at me before I got off of Appa as Katara got on.

Once they drove away I walked over to Jet. "I have one question for you, Who are you?" I asked in seriousness.

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

"I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE, YOU'VE BECOME THIS MONSTER!" I yelled a single tear trickled down my face but I quickly wiped it away. He stayed silent, "You can't smooth talk your way out of the Jet. What happened that made you like this? I know you hate the fire nation cause of what they did to or village but... this, this blowing up of the dam is going too far."

"It's just," He started but I didn't allow him to continue.

"It's just what? You know what?" I said clearing my mind.

"What?" He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. I couldn't take it so I looked away.

"I'm gonna leave with Sokka and the rest of them." My eyes were glued to the ground.

"No, Al," He said beggingly.

I looked him straight in the eye, "Don't call me that." I spat at him before walking past the tree his was frozen too and over towards the hideout. He kept calling out my name but I never turned back.

It only took me a few minutes till I reached the hideout and yanking on the rope to take me up. I walked to my hut and got my stuff together, I took in a deep breath before heading over to where Appa and the rest of them were. "I'm coming with you guys." I said smiling at them. Sokka smiled back as I got on Appa's saddle.

"Appa, yip yip," I heard Aang say before we left the hideout flying. I put my arm on the side and rested my head on it.

"Goodbye Jet," I whispered to myself as another single tear ran down my face.
