4. Behind the bushes

Katara looked at her brother and asked, "What are they doing here? We didn't float all the way to the Fire Nation, did we?"

I don't know but we must warn the rest. C'mon and be very, very quiet."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the campsite, there were a fire, food and tents. The only thing they didn't had yet, was water. Of course, they could drink from the rill but who knows what's in it. They prefered to wait until Katara and Sokka were back with water Katara bended in the waterskins. Until then, they had to enjoy themselves. Ty Lee was trying to learn Momo some tricks. Mai was sharpening her knifes. Zuko was training with his uncle and Azula was meditating. Toph and Aang were laying in Appa's soft fur.

"Aaaah, this is so good," Aang said

"Hmm, I prefer solid ground" Toph said and she jumped onto the ground. "Heey, there are two people running towards here." Everyone looked at Toph. "Oh, don't worry, it's just Snoozles and Sugar Queen."

Sokka and Katara entered camp, totally out of breath. Everyone came to the siblings while they putted the waterskins down.

"Bad news, guys," Sokka began, "Katara and I were at the lake filling the waterskins and talking ab..."

"There are Fire Nation soldiers on this island!" Katara interrupted.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Azula smirked. This was perfect. While everyone was sort of panicing, she came up with the best idea. If she could get to these soldiers, they could arest everyone, except Mai and Ty Lee of course, and go back to the Fire Nation. Everyone was busy with themselves so she easily could get out of there.

"Where are you going Azula?" Ty Lee asked.

"Stupid, stupid! I should have told her and Mai about my plan!" Azula thougt.

"Uhm... I'm going to see which person is in command."

"Good idea," Aang said, "We should all go."

"No!"

"Yeah!"

"No!"

"I totally agree!"

"No!"

"Let's go for it!"

"No, no, no! This is NOT how I planned this!!" "Ok, if you all insist."

And so they went on there way.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They sat behind the same bushes as Katara end Sokka earlier were.

"Ok, coast is clear," Sokka said, "We can move a little more foreward."

As they said behind the next bushes, they saw something amazing. A beautyfull palace with a pond, flowers, trees and a nice view to the vulcano. Someone was sitting in front of the pond. It was a woman with long black hair. They could only see her back, but it looked like she was noble or even royal. Then a messenger came towards her. Our travelers could hear what he said.

"There's a lettre for you, princess Ursa."

"URSA!!" Zuko, Azula and Iroh screamed at exactly the same time.

Before they knew it, they were surrounded by Fire Nation soldiers.


Ok that was a short one but I don't seem to manage long chapters. Hope you don't mind.
