Fire nation palace

Rozin, Kuzon and Kaiya were escorted to their rooms that night by six guards. Kaiya had been moved closer to where Rozin's and Kuzon's chambers were in the palace.

"Lady Kaiya, your belongings have been placed in this room by the request of Firelord Zuko, and Fire lady Mai," One of the guards said as he opened the door to her temporary quarters.

Before entering Kaiya bid Kuzon goodnight, and gave Rozin a quick hug, after Kuzon had gone into his room. She was about to enter her own but Rozin grabbed her wrist gently and turned her around to face him. She looked at him confused.

"What is it Rozin?" She asked him, tilting her head slightly to the side,

"I haven't had the chance to give you something," He replied shrugging his shoulders,

"Stay here and i'll be right back," He added and then darted into his room. Kaiya could hear him rumaging through his drawers until he found what he was looking for, and came back to stand in front of her. He held out his hand, and in its palm was a small silk, red bag. Kaiya took it out of Rozin's hand, and undid the gold thread ties that held the top of the bag together, then she tipped the contents of the bag into the palm of her other hand.

"I...I don't know what to say Rozin its .... beautiful," She whispered. In her hand she held a metal bracelet encrusted with red stones, yet a large blue stone was set in the middle of them, the colours of fire and water, mixed together in perfect harmony.

"It's nothing really, I just wanted to get you something so you wouldn't forget the time you spent here," Rozin told her shrugging his shoulders again.

"But ... when?" Kaiya asked, slipping the bacelet onto her wrist,

"When we went into the city that day," He replied quietly. Kaiya shuffled her feet and turned her attention to them, she didn't want to think about that day.

"Sorry," He apologised,

"Nah its fine ... Thanks," She replied looking to her bracelet, moving her wrist around to watch the stones sparkle in the dim lights of the torches, that lined the corridor.

"Don't mention it," Rozin said as he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly,

"ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO BED OR NOT!" Kuzon shouted from his room his voice annoyed. Kaiya laughed quietly, and Rozin smirked.

"See you tomorrow?" Kaiya asked after a pause,

"Why wouldn't you?" He asked confused. Kaiya just shrugged in response,

"You could be busy," She explained.

"Not really, its my dad that has all the work to do," Rozin replied,

"GUYS COME ON! I'M TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP HERE!" Kuzon shouted again this time angrily, which was then followed by a thud at his door. He obviously threw something at it,

"SORRY!" Kaiya shouted back, trying to keep from laughing and then turned back to face Rozin who was looking at the door of his brothers room, an annoyed expression on his face.

"Night," She said still trying to stifle her laughter,

"Night" He replied.

Rozin waited untill Kaiya had gone into her room, before he entered his cursing under his breath about his brother.

Zuko had ordered two guards to stand either side of their doors that night, just as a precaution. Like he had said, he wasn't going to take any risks.

Kaiya quickly changed into her floor length, silk, blue night gown, and tied her hair up into a loose pony-tail, before hopping into the luxurious, king sized bed. She looked to the barcelet on her wrist and smiled to herself, before she took it off, and placed it on the table beside her bed. She was so worn out by the events that had occurred that day, that she fell into a deep sleep just minutes after shutting her eyes.

Kaiya awoke later that evening, after hearing two thuds outside her door. She sat up and listened as four more followed. Kaiya grabbed her pouches of water from the bedside table, and lightly jumped out of her bed.

Her door creaked open, but no-one came in, Kaiya gulped and readied her water, as she walked over to her door. As she was about to open it, she heard quiet footsteps behind her. She spun round shooting her water as she did, but her effort was futile. As she came to stand opposite the person in front of her, it struck back. She could just make out a fist covered with earth come flying towards her face, before everything went dark.

Rozin awoke early the next morning, (like usual). He got up washed his face, and changed into his training gear, but couldn't help feeling that something wasn't right. As he walked toward the door, he looked around his room, until his eyes came to rest upon a pool of blood, that was seeped from the hallway, under his door and into his room.

He cautiously manoeuvred around the blood, careful not to step in it, before opening his door. Rozin had to quickly jump out of the way, as the bodies of the two guards, that had been guarding his room, fell through his doorway, and into his room.

"MUM, DAD!" Rozin shouted as loud as he could, even though he knew they wouldn't be able to hear him, as he jumped over the bodies and out into the hallway, only to find four more, lying motionless on the ground.

Without a second thought Rozin ran through the corridors shouting for help, in between his shouting for his mother and father, as he ran to their room.

Zuko had just opened his door, as Rozin ran into him,

"What's with all the shouting Rozin?" Zuko asked his son alarmed, as he wiped the tears, from his sons eyes with the pad of his thumb. Rozin couldn't speak, since he was so shaken up, but instead he grabbed his father by the wrist dragging him back to his room, with Mai anxiously following behind them. Halfway there though, Rozin suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, as he thought of something that hadn't even crossed his mind, until now.

"What's wrong Rozin?" Mai asked, as she came to stand beside Zuko,

"Kaiya," Was the only word he whispered, before he dropped his father's wrist, and sprinting in the direction of Kaiya's room. Rozin burst through the door, avoiding the bodies on the floor, Zuko and Mai running in after him.

Rozin knelt down next to Kaiya's water pouches, looking at the water that had been strewn across the floor. Rozin slowly turned his head round towards his parents, and mouthed the word 'Kuzon'.

Zuko ran out of the room, bursting through Kuzon's doors, heaving a sigh of relief, as he saw his son fast asleep in his bed. Kuzon stirred in his sleep before waking up.

"Dad?" He said confused, sitting up, and rubbing his eyes.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"I'll explain everything later, but right now you need to get up." Zuko replied, hugging his son tightly, before letting him go.

"Firelord, I'm sorry for the intrusion, but the avatar and his family are here to see you, they have come to pick up their daughter," One of Zuko's guards said uncomfortably.

"Tell them I'll be with them shortly, but for now make them comfortable until I arrive," Zuko replied to the guard, who bowed and left,

"What are you going to tell them Zuko?" Mai asked him as she walked through the door, with Rozin, whose expression was completely blank.

"What do you think I'm going to say, I have to tell them, I can't exactly lie can I," Zuko replied, standing up from his son' s bed, before he walked to one of his servants,

"Will you please get someone to clean this mess up," he asked her politely. The girl nodded and bowed. Zuko looked to Rozin, who was staring in front of him, not seeing anything, not blinking, not moving. Zuko then turned his head to Mai,

"I should probably go, they will be wondering where I am," He said. Mai just nodded.

"We'll meet you down there," she said, as she held her hand out to Kuzon, who was now fully dressed in his training gear, much like his brother. Kuzon took it, and Mai led him, and Rozin out of the room, to go and meet Aang.

Lounge

Zuko joined his family in the lounge, and sat opposite Aang, Katara and Akira, before turning to nod to Kuzon,

"Hey Akira, do you want to go and feed the turtle ducks?" He asked, not sure if his brother was able to speak,

"Sure, and I'll show you the new move I've learnt" Akira said, jumping to his feet, and following Kuzon and Rozin out of the lounge, and into the garden. Zuko waved his hand signalling 15 guards to accompany them, as they walked out of the room.

"What's going on Zuko?" Aang asked concerned, as soon as the doors shut behind them. Zuko told Aang and Katara, all that he knew,

"Whoever it was only took your daughter, I'm sorry," Zuko said as he handed Katara Kaiya's water pouches,

"We found these on her bedroom floor, along with all the water that was in them,"

All eyes were on Aang as his eyes and tattoo's flashed a blinding white, tears running down his cheeks

"Aang," Katara said grabbing his hand, and pulling him into her

"We'll find her Aang, and the monsters that took her," She said , through gritted teeth, tears welling up in her eyes, as she comforted Aang, until his eyes and tattoo's returned to normal.

"When we find the low life's who did this, I swear I will show NO mercy!" He said murderously.

Azula's headquarters

"Princess, the Avatar's daughter has been captured," Ran said to Azula, as they walked down one of the corridors,

"You are very faithful to me Ran, even after my moment of weakness all those years ago," She replied

"The Dai-Li will always remain faithful to you princess,"

"That's what I like to hear, now how is the reconstruction of your lair under Lake Lougai coming along?" Azula asked as they walked down some stairs, toward her meeting chamber.

"Princess, we cannot penetrate the walls of Ba-sing-se, the Earth King has recruited an army far stronger than our own, but we are building a replica not to far from here."

"Oh, well I suppose it doesn't matter where it is, just as long as it's ready by next week," Azula sighed.

"You have my word princess," Ran said, as he bowed by her side.

Tia's cell

Tia awoke to the sound of footsteps echoing in the hallway, turning to face to door as the bolt clicked, and it opened.

Two cloaked men walked in, one had Kaiya thrown over his shoulder.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER!!?" Tia screamed, standing up, thrashing at the chains that bound her. She had seen a huge red gash covering the left side of Kaiya's forehead, and part of her cheek,

"YOU PSYCHO MANIACS, LET ME OUT OF HERE, SO I CAN KICK BOTH YOUR BUT'S!!" She shrieked thrashing even more wildly at the chains, ignoring the searing pain that shot through her right arm, where Azula had burnt her.

The man who was chaining Kaiya's limp body to the wall next to Tia, nodded his head toward Tia,

"Shut her up will you," He said to the other man. He walked up to Tia, slapping her hard across the face, creating a cut to form across her cheek, and causing her to slam back into the wall behind her, before taking a piece of cloth out of his pocket, and gagging her with it. He shortened Tia's chains that bound her arms, so that she couldn't remove the gag, just as the other man finished chaining Kaiya's hands and feet.

Tia sat on the floor next to her unconscious friend, her sobs muffled, by the piece of cloth tied around her mouth, as the men walked out of the cell, slamming the wooden door behind them.

Omashu

"Who took her?" General Feng said to Haru,

"We don't know, all Zade saw was two men dressed in very dark green, full length cloaks, with hoods," Haru answered,

"And where is Zade now?" The general asked

"He's with his mother in the lounge; she's trying to get him to eat something, since he hasn't eaten anything in the past day," Haru replied sadly, concerned for his son's well being.

"Your Highness, a message has just arrived for you, from the Fire Nation palace," Lieutenant Wong, said as he ran through the door. Haru took the letter, and proceeded to read it,

"What does it say?" Toph asked as she stood in the doorway, holding hands with their son,

"General, Lieutenant, could I please be excused from this meeting?" Haru asked

"Certainly your Highness," The general said, as he and the Lieutenant bowed, as Haru left taking his wife by the hand, and leading her away from the room,

"Where are we going?" Toph asked confused,

"Somewhere, where we can talk in private," He answered. Haru led Toph and his son, into his bedroom,

"So this was the only private place you could think of," Toph chuckled, without much emotion

"This is no laughing matter Toph," Haru said to her sternly, throwing the letter he had in his hand on the table in front of her,

"What am I supposed to do with that?" Toph asked, when she heard the piece of parchment flutter in front of her, and land on the table,

"Oh sorry, I forgot you couldn't read," Haru apologized, reaching for the letter, but before Haru could take it back, Zade quickly snatched it from the table, and started to read it,

"Kaiya's been kidnapped as well, right from the Fire Nation palace," Zade exclaimed, as he read the letter to his mother. Toph stood in shock, as she listened to her son, before she turned to look at him,

"Zade, I want you to accompany me outside, you to Haru," She said, as she turned to walk out of their room,

"Where are we going now?" Zade asked confused, as he and Haru followed Toph,

"I'm going to train both of you," She replied, as she rounded a corner in one of the hallways.

Toph led them to the training area, which she and Haru had built for their children,

"Why are we here?" Haru asked,

"Like I said sweetie, I'm going to train you and Zade, by teaching you a new technique,"

"What is it mum?" Zade asked excitedly. Haru was intrigued to find out as well, he knew that Toph was a very powerful Earthbender, but he couldn't possibly think of anything Toph could teach him, since he knew pretty much any Earthbending form.

Toph breathed out deeply,

"I'm going to teach you a move that only I know how to do, I was planning on teaching it to you, when you and your sister were a little older, but after the events that have occurred, I think now would be a pretty good time," She replied, before adding,

"I'm going to teach you both how to Metalbend." Toph grunted as she bended two giant metal panels, from one of the walls, placing them vertically in front of Zade and Haru,

"Now, let's get started."

Kyoshi

Jade had been practicing even harder with Master Chen, fuelling her Waterbending with rage, after she had heard about Tia's abduction. Between her breaks for her Waterbending sessions, she went to the dojo to train with her mother, sister, and the other Kyoshi warriors.

That afternoon she was down at the beach with Master Chen, she had accomplished a lot more since Master Chen had been teaching her, and had just mastered the technique of bending the water, in plants, trees, and vines, to move at her will.

"JADE!" Suki's voice shouted from the direction of their house. Jade turned and bowed to Master Chen, before she spoke,

"I better go and see what she wants, before I get into trouble,"

"Of course Jade, would you like to continue training tomorrow, or would you like a break?" Chen asked,

"Nope, I shall see you bright and early tomorrow morning, if that's alright." Master Chen laughed at Jade's enthusiasm,

"That's fine by me Jade," he replied,

"JADE!" Suki's voice shouted again. Master Chen waved his hand for her to go, Jade smiled and bowed again, before making her way up the beach, and towards her home.

As soon as Jade approached the front door of their home, Suki ran out and hugged her daughter fiercely, tears running down her cheeks. Suki stood up and looked around, as if someone was watching them, before taking Jade by the wrist and quickly leading her inside.

"Mum what's going on?" Jade asked, snatching her wrist out of her mother's grasp, as soon as she had shut the door. Sokka then came in, carrying Tao in one arm, and holding Sana's hand with the other,

"Jade you are not to leave ours or Master Chen's sight, is that understood?" Sokka asked her, as he placed Tao on his feet, by his side,

"No I don't understand, why? What's going on?" Jade asked again, completely and utterly confused. Suki picked up the piece of parchment that was on the table, and handed it to Jade without speaking. Jade read it before placing it back on the table,

"So what now?" she asked,

"First Tia, and now Kaiya, who's next on the list?" She said through gritted teeth,

"Look Jade, we don't know what's going on at the moment, but we'll find out soon I'm sure, but until we do, were not letting any of you out of our sight," Sokka said as he walked round the table to comfort Suki.

"Fine!" Jade seethed, storming out of the kitchen and into her room.
