Chapter 7

Jet was one person Aang didn't want to see, but Jet was a born leader and warrior, he also had a strong grudge against Fire Nation. The only problem was that he hated Aang. What's an Avatar to do?

"So where are we going exactly?" Suki asked Sokka as she dropped her bag on the ground taking out a canteen of water.

"Hello...haven't you paid attention to anything Aang has been talking about?" Sokka snapped back at her.

"I'm going to take that as a...you have no idea either?" she replied back to Sokka giving him a look that let him know he was an idiot.

"Hmmph...you think your so smart!"

"Yeah I do, because I know I am."

"Yeah well I-i can eat...A LOT!"

"...now thats talent."

"Will you guys please give it a rest already!" Aang said to the two of them rubbing his face and trying to focus.

"...Aang please enlighten us again of why we are in the middle of a forest when the Earth Bender's Village is not?" said Suki.

"We are going to get more help." replied Aang.

"Do you really think he's gonig to help us after the "incident"?" Sokka asked him.

"...Whose not gonig to help you?" asked Suki.

"I dont know Sokka the only to find out is to ask I guess." said Aang.

"Ask who?" Suki said starting to raise her voice in frustration.

"But what if he says "NO" and then tries to kill us..?" Sokka asked Aang looking worried.

"WHOSE GOING TO KILL US!" yelled Suki grabbing onto Sokka's shirt and shaking him back and forth.

"I AM!"

Suki stopped shaking Sokka and Aang pointed up into the trees. Suki look up to where Aang was pointing and noticed a tall boy with choppy brown hair and piece of grass in his mouth glaring down at them.

"...Jet" Sokka said glaring back at him.

Jet jumped down from the tree as graceful as a cat and landed on both his feet perfectly. He walked right up to Aang and spit his long grass weed at his face. Aang quickly wiped it off and they began to have an eye staring contest.

"What brings you back to my neck of the woods?"

"...I - we need your help. Please I wouldn't be asking you if I didn't seriously need it." said Aang.

"Why should I help you and your little friends hmm? After what you guys did to me and that girl...Katara where is she I would like to give her a peice of my mind." Jet said looking past Aang to where Suki and Sokka are standing.

Aang cringed at the mention of Katara. All the thoughts and memories of what happend to her or what could be happening to her flooded into his mind making is whole being go numb.

"...She was t-taken by the Fire Nation..." Aang struggled to tell Jet as his voice choked up.

Jet looked at him and felt sorrow for about a miliasecond.

"..I don't see any reason to help you or your little friends. The only reason why I would go along with you would be to get with her." Jet told Aang nodding his head in Suki's direction. She looked at him and for some ungodly reason started blushing.

"..But I noticed by the way Sock-a is glaring daggers at me that I reckon' she's his girl. Othwise I dont see saving your girlfriend as something I feel like doing." Jet said to Aang and turned on his heels.

"WAIT! There is something in it for you. You want to destroy the Fire Nation...here's your chance. You don't have to be on my team but you don't have to be my enemy. All I need is your strength and hate for the Fire Nation. It burns through your vains and this might be the only way that you will ever be able to get close enough to destroy them."

Jet stopped walking and turned back to face Aang.

"If I do become your partner or whatever you call it you have to promise not to stand in my way. Let me lead my gang and you lead yours. I'll go to the Fire Nation with you. I'll fight along side you, but I will not be fighting for you. You and I are still enimies and I am still hatin' you." and with that Jet turns around in all his pride and glory and walks away from Aang with all the anger in the world.

Aang sighs a heavy sigh and wipes sweat off his brow.

"Man that guy really has a lot of nerve! right Aang?" Sokka said to Aang but noticed he was staring at Aangs retreating back.

"Hey! Aang where you going?" Sokka yelled at him but he did not answer.

"Sokka, I think...I think Aang needs to be alone. He needs to find peace within himself." Suki told Sokka wrapping her arms around his shoulders and giving him a reassuring hug.

"He thinks he's the only one taking Katara's capture hard. He may love her but he doesn't know what it feels like to lose a sister. Someone I grew up with and laughed with and cried with. He has know idea." Sokka told Suki gently pushing her off of him and walking towards the opisite direction Aang was walking.

Suki drops her shoulders in defeat and sets up her sleeping bag.

"This is going to be a long and painful adventure."
