Ch 10 "Lost and Found."

On the last chapter...

Everyone looked to see a gallows with two people getting ready to be hanged. One was a girl and the other was a boy. As they rounded the corner a man was just pulling the lever that would send the boy to his death. When Vnala slashed her arm at the gallows sending a needle thin wave of fire that cut the boy's and the girl's rope, that attached them to the gallows ending in the boy falling hard onto the ground.

"Mysu!" Vnala looked like she had seen a ghost as she ran over and shoved people out of her way, to get to the boy. When she arrived a man was getting ready to slit the boys throat. When Vnala ran over and shoved the man away from the boy, with a snarl of,

"Don't you touch him," While she looked at the boy. His blue eyes widened as she helped him set up.

"Milady Vnala!" Was all he could yell before he fainted from blood loss. Vnala looked at the bad cut on his stomach while she muttered,

"Idiot!" With a genuine smile. She turns around when a man steps up and yells,

"That's our prisoner you're helping. Now if you'll step aside we'll kill him."

"Over my dead body!" Vnala yelled stepping in front of her charge, ignoring her friends who where now two foot behind the gallows yelling for her to come back. "My name is Lady Vnala now Lord of the noble house of the Crimson Dragon. And this is Mysu, one of my men-at-arms and my faithful servant. You WILL NOT touch him! Or I will take my revenge out on everyone of you!" Her friends rush to her side.

"Vala, what have you gotten your-self into this time?" Pacia mutters.

"How can you prove this?" The man, who the group assumes is the village headman, yells as he takes a step towards Vnala. Aang, Erono, and Pacia walk up and stand behind Vnala. While Katara and Sokka walk up and stand beside the girl, whom had fainted when Vnala had shot that little blast of fire at her rope, she was now lying on the ground.

Vnala bends down and points to the badge that was clipped on Mysu's Earth Kingdom clothes, a forest green tunic, headband, sash, and brown traveling pants. His boots looked very worn.

"This is the coat-of-arms of the house of the Crimson Dragon." She said pointing to the badge with a coiled red dragon and a Fire Nation seal on it. "And I am the ruler of the house, so he is my servant and mine to dispose of because of what he's done!" She finished walking up to the man and looking at him suspiciously. "What has he done?"

"We have no charges…" The man mumbled.

"Then why are you hanging him?" Erono asked from behind Vnala, seething.

"Because he's different!" The man halfway yelled. He steps forward and points at Vnala. "The Fire Nation gave us leave to kill anyone we see fit. How do we know that you're a noble of the Fire Nation?"

"You don't!" Vnala yells and puts her hands out in front of her sending out fire the whole time. It creates a fire wall five feet long.

She keeps feeding the wall fire as Aang yells, "Run!" Erono picks up Mysu and Sokka picks up the girl. They run into the forest as Vnala finishes up the wall. She looks at the headman.

"I told you I was a noble." She says grinning as she runs off to catch up with the group.

"Mysu!" Vnala yells as she jumps into camp. Erono was just setting Mysu down onto the ground.

"Vala, shhhhh!" Pacia says as she and Katara walk up to Mysu. They look at the gash on the boy's stomach. "It's too large for me to heal it. You'll have to do it." She remarks as she turns to face Katara.

"Okay, that's fine with me. Can you help the girl?" Katara asks as she turns to face the girl lying, still fainted, on the ground.

"Sure!" Pacia said smiling. "I need the practice," She turns to Vnala, "Vala, your coming with me to help."

"But, it's…" She mumbles as Pacia drags her over to the girl.

"No Vala, it's not your duty to watch him. Let Katara heal him. Now help me with this girl and or you'll start pacing."

"How did I let you know me so well." Vnala sighed with defeat.

She looks at the girl, she has plump high cheekbones, and a round chin. She had a few bruises and cuts but nothing serious like Mysu. Vnala looked curiously at the girl's waist length pastel blond hair, it was parted from the center of her forehead like Pacia's fuzzy brown hair. With just a glance at the girls tattered, loose, and dirty clothes, Vnala could tell she was starving.

"I wonder why they where going to hang her?" Vnala remarked as she looked on as Pacia healed the few bruises and cuts the girl had.

"She hasn't eaten a good meal in a week, Vala fix her something, for when she wakes up." Pacia said while doing a thorough healing check in the girl. "Probably something for Mysu too." She added.

"Okay," Vnala said going over to the dying fire and throwing a bunch of sticks into the fire pit. She creates a fireball and throws it into the pile of sticks, the fireball consumes the sticks instantly. She grabs a pot and sets it on the fire, she throws some herbs, some leftover fish and a chopped up potato into the pot. She put the lid on it and let it simmer. She stands and walks over to Katara and Aang.

"Where's Sokka and Erono?" Vnala asked as she walked up.

"They're covering our tracks." Katara remarked. "Your friend's lost a lot of blood, but he'll live."

"I hope so." Vnala answered. "I thought I was the only one who stayed and lived."

"Well you're not, so be happy." Aang said so happily that it made Vnala grin.

"I'll try," She replied grinning. "Katara, when do you think Mysu will wake up?"

"Um, in about an hour or two." Katara said looking at Vnala curiously. "Why ask?"

"I want to find out how the heck he's alive, and how he got here. After all he is my servant." She answered looking at her feet. She looks up and grins while she cracks her knuckles. "And then I'm gonna kill him for nearly getting him-self killed!" She added briskly while going to check on the stew.

Erono and Sokka return shortly after Pacia finishes her exam on the girl. Pacia walks over and sits next to Vnala, While Sokka walks over to the pot of stew with Erono.

"I told you I smelled food when we entered camp Erono." He sticks a finger into the stew with Erono reaching to do the same thing when, a wooded spoon comes out of nowhere and smacks the both of them on their outstretched hand.

"OWWWWWW!" They both shout as they draw back their hands as fast as they put them out. They both look over to see an cross Vnala holding a wooden spoon. She walks in between them and the pot of stew.

"How many times do I have to tell you, don't stick your fingers into the food." She said with a slap of the spoon against her palm, warning them not to do it again.

"Party pooper," Erono said sitting down, earning a glare from Vnala.

"Vnala! He's awake!" Aang yelled from his place beside Katara, who was next to Mysu's pallet. With a yell of,

"Finally!" Vnala tosses the spoon at Sokka, an leaves her place that she was guarding the stew from. She runs to her servants bedside as Sokka and Erono grin evil grins as they get out bowls and dig into the stew.

Vnala runs over next to Mysu and grabs his shirt collar.

"It's about damn time you woke up! What thehell are you doing here!"

"It's a long story." He choked out.

"We've got nothing but tim-" Vnala is interrupted by a terrified scream, and Sokka yelling,

"Calm down! Your safe now!"

Aang, Katara, Vnala, and Mysu turn around to see the girl they saved run away into the forest.
