Toph will do anything to stop Azula as the Chief of Police.

4. A Mother's Worry

~Chapter 4: A Mother's Worry~

Oh don't worry Toph, once I get out of here.." "You daughter will be the first and last thing you will ever see.."

I hear these words echo through my mind.

I go to my office and close the door gently. Slowly I start to lean against the door. I lower my head down trying to relax and stay calm. However those words get the best of me as the tears keep coming down.

Wiping away the tears I wander towards my desk and see the picture of me and Lin smiling. I then start to pick up the phone and start to dial Katara's number. It may be a feeling of being over protective but I guess that's what a parent has to do and that is to protect the ones you love.

Katara picks up the phone. She greets me with a friendly and asks me what is wrong. I stare at the window outside not paying attention.

"Hello?" Toph?"

"Oh, Hi Katara. I just wanted to check on how Lin is doing."

"She is doing fine, she is actually playing with Tenzin. The two are actually getting along just fine."

"That's good." Um I was wondering if I could talk to her."

"Yeah sure hang on."

I hear the sound of static and then the sound of Lin's voice

"Mommy?"

"Hi sweetie, what are you doing?"

"Nothing… Is something wrong?"

"No,, No.. Everything is fine." I just want to say I love you and I'm thinking about you."

"I love you too mommy."

"Be good and don't forget to show Tenzin what a true Beifong is made of!"

Lin starts to giggle

"Don't worry I will bye."

I hang up the phone and start to feel better. I now realize that Lin is safe. I start to go to the closet and pull out an old box.

I blow off the dust and open the box. I stare at the championship belt that I won at Earth Rumble Six.

"I don't have to be afraid anymore." I know what I must do."

A police officer opens the door as I close the box quickly.

"Chief Bei Fong. The prisoner is ready to talk to you."

I nod and start to put the box away. I stare at it and close the door shut.

I realize now why I took this job as chief of police and that is to protect the ones I care for most and I won't let anyone get to me no matter how painful it is.
