Last chapter for a week.

It was night when Anju finally brought Kanan and herself above surface, and she was sure that the search was temporarily called off. Beside her Kanan whimpered. "What," she snapped, steam coming from her nose. "Anju," he stammered, "isn't theAvatar evil?" Anju turned sharply, long braided hair whipping behind her. "That's what they say, but I am not evil. Kanan I have to leave. Its not safe here anymore. A pause. "Not for me at least." Anju started towards the gates, desperately hoping noone was there when Kanan stopped her. "I'm going with you. " Anju didn't see any sense in arguing, and with her friend by her side, she left her home.

Air Temple Island It was frustrating, the air nomads couldn't keep up, they couldn't find the Avatar and soon the search would be for nothing, Jinora had no doubt that The Red Lotus would find the Avatar first, if they hadn't already destroyed the cycle. Pulling herself into the fimilar meditive position, the 40 year old air bending master began to let her troubles fade.
n~n~n~ One week later
He surveyed Republic City with a careful eye. The red Lotus could have inflatrerated once more and it was his job as Chief of Police to keep the city safe. The world was slowly drifting into chaos, but he would keep hismcity safe.
As he patrolled the Water district he heard a noise that sounded like earth being moved. Cautiously he went towards the sound. He found where the earth was being moved and waited, and as he did, he thought of his brother. It would be what, twenty years since he was killed? He would have been fourty-six this year. Anger rose in the police chief.
Zaheer. Zaheer killed him. Why did Zaheer kill him, he already got rid of Korra , wh did he need to get rid of his brother too?
"Quiet Kanan, " a sharp whisper jerked him out of his thoughts. The Earth Benders were here. n~n~n~
It had been a long journey, but Anju and Kanan had finally found Republic City. After a mishap at what was left of the Oasis, they had decided to travel under the cover of night, and now Anju was tunneling under the city, with Kanan following behind, griping about being in such a dark closed in place.
Oh yea, she mused, he is so not an earth bender.
Then the stale air became fresh and Anju figured they were almost above the ground. "Quiet Kanan," she whispered harshly. She kicked the final boulder away and they exited the tunnel, Kananlaughing happily.
A wire wizzed by, almost wrapping around Kanan but Anju shoved him out of the way.
It couldn't be! The Red Lotus had found them!
"Kanan!" She barked, " Run!"
He nodded and took off, a portion of the crowd following him. She was left with maybe twelve to face on her own.
No time like the present.
She shot rocks to slow them as she took off running herself. Left and right she ran, through crowds of people, through what she thought was a party of sorts. She even managed to trap about seven of the twelve in the ground.
Cables flew by her and fire blocked off her escape. Panicked she shot herself over the fire with a boulder and was trapped. Past the fire, there was a wall, no way out. Cables wrapped around her, forcing her to her knees.
No!
She struggled but to no avail, the fire disapated and a man and two metal benders walked towards her.
"It will go better for you if you come quietly," the man, who looked to be in charge, said.
Anju glared, mustering up all the hate she could, making her emerald eyes seem cold. "I will never go quiet with you," she yelled, "I will never allow Zaheer to kill me!"
The man looked shocked, and stepped toward to say something, but Anju opened her mouth to cut him off. However it didn't go as she had planned. Flames shot from her mouth burning the two metal benders, however the man just pushed the fire aside.
"The Avatar." He gasped. Anju didn't stop to confirm, with her new found freedom, she ran.
