Chapter six
"So what now?" Aang asked quietly. Suki returned about an hour after the robbery. She would've called the police but she feared that they would discover Aang and Katara.
"I don't know," Suki stated truthfully.
"I can't believe we've finally been found out," Katara added. "And just when I thought we were going to be okay until this whole thing blew over."
"If this blows over." The air bender dropped his head.
"Okay guys!" Suki yelled to get the two teens attention. "We need to calm down, we are not going to let this get to us alright!" But Aang and Katara just nodded shamefully, their eyes downcast.
"I'm going to see if I can straiten this thing out, quietly."
"But, Suki, I thought you said you weren't going to get the cops involved." Katara challenged while lifting her brow.
"I'm not trying to fix the robbery," Suki informed. "I'm trying to fix what I found in the newspaper this morning."
"What did you find?" Aang questioned, thick worry in his voice.
"Well, I was skeptical about telling you this at first but I guess I really don't have a choice." Suki flipped open a paper she pulled from her bag
It was, more or less, a wanted poster.
Many people had the same idea as Aang and Katara did: hiding out in hopes of not being taken to Amsterdam. But somehow they all ended up on page six of the newspaper for they were missing during the head count.
"We're wanted!?" Katara exasperated, almost chocking when she gasped at the same time; seeing her face in the third row.
"Yes, I'm so sorry you guys." Suki seemed downright hurt, this made Aang smile fondly, she had been reminding him of his sister more and more lately. "Those dirty bastards, no child should have to live in your condition." She stood determinedly while grabbing her bag.
"Where are you going, Suki?"
"It's too dangerous for you guys to stay here, with this out on the press those green police will be scouting out every alley and annex built in the god-forsaken city. I have to find you guys somewhere else to stay, somewhere safer." She sounded serious, and didn't wait for any response she just left, leaving Katara and Aang alone with some serious thoughts of terror.
"I can't believe……" Katara trailed, muttering the same words for what felt like forever.
"We're finally leaving this place, we could even be….." Aang trailed as well, feeling stumped for words.
"We could even be what?" Katara questioned, placing her hand atop his.
"Separated," he chocked, holding his neck to get the lump out. Katara's eyes widened, she hadn't even though of that, just the thought of leaving him was unbearable.
"No, we're not, I'm not letting anyone take me away from you Aang…..ever." She wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, pushing her body against his roughly enough to make him blush even with all the peril.
"I love you Aang," she whispered against his ear, a tear trickling down her cheek that landed on his skin. He soon found himself in a daze, unable to reply or even register the words the girl before him had uttered.
"Wh-what?" he finally stuttered a good half hour later, Katara still firmly wrapped against him.
"I said I love you, Aang," She repeated, pulling her head back to show him that she was serious. Aang finally gave in, though, taking the fabric from her night shirt between his fingertips. Pushed her against more roughly than they'd ever been.
"Oh, Aang," Katara sighed, snuggling into his shoulder, kissing the bare skin lightly.
"Katara……" Aang started. He didn't know what more to tell her. "I love you too." He didn't know when he had started loving her or if this was even real. What was making this spur of the moment confession occur? Was it the fact that they might be separated that made them conclude their feelings were love? Or was it that this feeling pulsing between them was really true love? There was no turning back now, the words had been uttered and when they both looked into each other's eyes they knew no mistake was made. They smiled, even with possible capture in their future they felt their hearts overflow with joy and soon they kissed. It wasn't like the ones prior. This was more of a declaration than a mere act on the lust of teenage hormones. They fell back on the floor beneath them, staying at it till who knows when.

"What is it Suki, why are you out in the open when you should be at home making sure Aang is okay, I did see the news paper." Suki had informed Malu to meet up with her behind an old doctor's office. "You know it's risky for me to be out as well," Malu continued.
"Look, I only asked to speak with you in person because I didn't want to risk some government group to hear our conversation." Suki explained.
"Alright, so lay it on me, what do you plan to do about this wanted list?"
"Well, I was going to ask you, he's your brother and I want you to be comfortable as for where he goes next."
"Look, you were my first and only choice, I can't have him stay with the little family we have left, it's too obvious and easy to track." She sighed heavily, lifting the collar of her trench coat.
"So then it's up to me, is that what you're saying?" Malu just nodded sadly.
"Please, Suki just make sure he's safe, please don't let him get taken away. My brother is strong and all but I don't think he could survive in Amsterdam, he's just a boy." Malu couldn't help but shed some tears she had been holding in. "I know I've been killing him by not visiting but I'm just trying to make him strong, I want him to survive if anything does a happen, I can't have him worry and cling to me. I want him to stand on his own two feet if any adversity comes his way."
"It's okay, Malu Aang's strong, he has the help of Katara." Suki soothed, hugging her friend in a friendly gesture.
"Katara? That girl who you say is your boyfriend's sister, she's a water bender right?" Suki nodded.
"Get them out of this area, get them as far out of the country as possible." Malu finally instructed. "Protect my brother,"
"I'll be damned if I don't." Suki promised while Malu walked away to her car. "I'll make sure he's in the safest place possible, my word."

"What the heck?" Suki muttered to herself upon hearing the police sirens chasing her car. She pulled over promptly and awaited a speeding ticket or something.
"Are you Suki Ryo?" The police asked once Suki rolled down the window.
"I am, can you please just hand me my ticket I'm in a hurry."
"Well I'm sorry but you're about to be a lot later." The police pulled out a gun and pointed it at her head so quickly that Suki wasn't even allowed a reflex. "Suki Ryo you're under arrest by the
council of president Ozai for harboring inducted benders, you need to come with us, quietly." Strangely he sounded more like a programmed robot than a serious police pointing a gun at a woman. Suki got out of the car without a moments hesitation, silently hoping that Aang and Katara would figure something out before it was too late, she wouldn't break her promise to Malu.

"Oh, Aang, stop!" Katara whined. Her and Aang had been kissing each other for a good couple hours, none of them feeling they could get enough. Aang arched up from her, gazing down at the one that had just declared her love for him.
"Sorry, you should've told me if you wanted to stop." He rolled off of his position on top of her. His placed his fingertips to his lips, they felt raw and numb but knowing that Katara's lips had just been over them—and various other parts of him—made him smile.
"No it's not that." Katara stated. "It's just that Suki hasn't come back yet, she left this morning and it's almost evening." She looked over at the phone. "She hasn't even called to tell us she would be late." She ran her fingers through her hair, feeling that it was a complete mess, not that she was surprised after he and Aang's activities.
"Well, Suki told us not to ever call anyone, but maybe we can just phone her-" just as he spoke the phone rang, and both Aang and Katara looked at each other in worry. "What should we-" the phone rang again.
"We can't answer that, Aang it's dangerous, what if-" Again it rang. "Aang, I have a bad feeling about this, I'm a little scared." Suddenly there was a knock on the door, or more like a bang.
"Aang," Katara whispered, she buried her face in his chest a soft sob could be heard.
"No," Aang muttered. "This can't be it….."
"Open this door!" The voice outside the door yelled. Whoever was there had gotten inside the apartment and found the Annex behind the bookshelf.
"Don't be scared Katara, I won't let them take us away." Aang promised, he kissed her lightly, lingering around her lips for as long as he dared.
"I know you won't," She said against his lips, brushing them against hers lightly.
The door was opened forcefully and about ten men in green uniforms came through, guns in hand.
"You two are coming with us, NOW!" Katara let out a hard sob against Aang's shoulders and almost ripped her lungs apart screaming for him when one man shoved Aang against the wall in
an attempt to pull them away. But Katara fought back taking some nearby water from a dish and water wiped the man who pushed Aang.
"Don't you touch him!" She rushed over to him, his back looked a little bruised. "Are you okay?" she asked, Aang just winced and nodded.
"We have to get out of here, Katara!" he finally yelled. But it was too late, the ten men had surrounded the two before a move could be made.
"Katara," Aang whispered, she looked over at him softly. "I'm sorry." She just smiled sadly, kissing his cheek soundly and grabbed his hand as they were hurled away to a dark future unknown.
