Chapter 6:Attack and Rescue
Azula stared at the wolf, and the wolf stared back. Azula looked around for something to make the wolf go away. Even though she's a prodigy, Azula didn't know much about wolves. Picking up a rock, Azula threw it toward the animal.
Big mistake. The wolf growled and inched towards Azula. Azxula picked up another rock and threw it. The wolf growled l0ouder and lunged for Azula. She screamed and threw her hands up. The wolf tackled Azula and began scratching her. Azula screamed more and tried to fight the wolf off.
"HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY!" Azula screamed as she tried to push off the wolf.
XXXXXXXX
The group stopped for a second.
"Did you hear something?" Zuko asked.
They listened. Nothing.
Mai shook her head. "It's probably the wind or something."
"Yeah." They continued walking.
XXXXXXXXXX
Azula continued fighting the wolf off. The animal almost bit her face when it was tackled off Azula. Surprised, Azula sat up tro see a boy around her age with longish brown hair fighting the wolf with a knife. Azula jumped when someone touched her ankle. Another boy her age with shaggy brown hair was examining her ankle.
"It doesn't look broken." Said the boy. He looked at Azula. "What happened here?"
"I-I was with some friends." Azula started to explain. "We were on a road trip, then our car broke down and so we had to walk. I found a bike and…biked until I was robbed and somehow, my ankle got hurt."
The boy nodded in understanding. "Ah. I'm Jet."
"Azula." Aszula smiled. She looked over at the other boy who was cutting the wolf up.
"That's my friend Haru." Jet explained. "We live just up the road from here."
"I see." Azula turned back to Jet. "And where is 'here'?"
"We're near Alexandra."
Azula groaned. Sokka, I will kill you…
Haru finally sliced the head of the wolf open, killing it. "Score! One wolf down in this area."
"We're hunters." Jet explained to Azula, who looked puzzled. "Here, why don't I take you back to my cabin. I'm sure your friends will find you."
"Okay." Azula replied. There will be blood tracking the road, and her bracelet was torn off, so her friends will be able to identify who has been taken. Of course, they'll be worried out of their minds that she's been kidnapped or worse, but it will have to do.
Jet picked Azula up and carried her bridal-style to their cabin. The blood from the wolf dripped on the pavement, leaving a thin trail.
The cabin was one story. It had a living room, a kitchen, a small dining room, and three bedrooms. Jet put Azula on the couch and levitated her ankle with a couple of throw pillows.
Haru got an ice pack and a bandage yto wrap around Azula's ankle. "Anything else I can get for you, Azula?"
"No thanks." Azula smiled. She gazed at Jet. He was kind of cute…

Meanwhile, at Richmond High School, Ozai was getting worried. Neither Azula or Zuko showed up. He tried calling their cells, but no answer. He swore under his breath and looked for the parents of their friends.
Both Ty Lee's and Mai's mothers walked up to Ozai, worried.
"Ozai, we're getting worried. Neither Ty Lee or Mai showed up!" Saidd Mai's mom.
"I tried calling Ty Lee's cell phone, but it went straight to voicemail." Said Ty Lee's mom.
"Same here, but with Mai." Said Mai's mom.
Ozai sighed. "I can't reach Azula or Zzuko either. Are Hakoda and Gyatso around? Maybe they heard from Sokka, Katara, and Aang."
"Well, Katara doesn't have a cell phone." Ty Lee's mom started. "And far as I can tell, neither do Sokka and Aang."
"So, what now?" Mai's mom was getting worried.
"We wait." Ozai replied. "If neither of our children arrive by the time the marathon's over, we go to the police and send an Amber alert."
The two moms nodded in agreement and went to find Hakoda and Gyatso to tell them what was going on.

The group trudged along the road. Aang saw something sparkle in the sunlight.
"Hey, what's that?" Aang pointed to the object.
The friends ran to it and discovered a few dried up puddles of liquid. Katara bent down to smell it and wrinkled her nose.
"Ew…it's blood." Katara observed. She stood up.
"Jeez, what happened here?" Mai wondered aloud.
"Oh no." Ty Lee picked up a bracelet and examined it. She recognized it as Azula's charm bracelet. "Azula was here."
"So, where is she?" Toph asked, sounding a little worried.
Zuko paled as he looked at the bracelet and the blood on the ground. "Azula!" He called out. "Azula!" He glanced into the forest.
"Crap, you think she was kidnapped?" Katara asked.
"Oh, God, I hope not." Said Mai.
"Aw, crap. CRAP!" Zuko grabbed his hair and groaned. "Dammit, not only I lost my rental car, but I lost my sister! My dad's gonna freaking kill me! Shoot me, burn me, hang me, then throw me into the river!"
"Zuko, calm down." Mai comforted her boyfriend. "I'm sure Azula's fine. She's strong."
Zuko sighed and looked away. "I hope so…"
