World Of Avatar

Chapter 14

Intro

"Get two of them." Lighe said, waving at the beast.

"Any two in particular?" The beast asked, his black hands gripping at the air.

"No. As long as here is one from each group, it's fine. Once you've gotten them, bring them here."

Aang's P.O.V.

I woke up to a ridiculously bright light shining in my face. At first, I thought someone was holding a lantern above my head, then I realized that my face was under the only beam of light shining through the trees for a hundred feet or so.

I rolled over, glad to have the sun away from my face. After a few minutes, I sat up and looked around. It appeared that the only others asleep were Suki, Sokka, Seth and Jacob. Zuko was tending to the fire, looking very board. Everyone else wasn't around the campsite.

"Where is everyone?" I asked Zuko.

"Katara, Toph and Ty Lee went exploring, Mai went to get water, and the Vampires are hunting."

"Ahh… So what's up?" I asked.

Zuko shrugged, "Just thinking."

"About what?"

"This whole situation, I guess."

"I've been thinking, too," I said, scratching my head, "And, do we really have enough leads to even be going after Azula? I mean, she might have planned on this. Mai and Ty Lee know her patterns, and what if she expected that? And the Volturi. How did she even meet them?"

One Year Ago, Before The Comet

Azula's P.O.V.

I was walking through a small village on the border of the Earth Kingdom. I was wearing their clothes, as to not be detected by the Earth Kingdom army.

I smiled slightly as I approached the road out of town. I knew I could use this village as a safe place in case something were to go wrong.

I'd been walking for about two hours sense I'd left the village. The sky had begun to look dark a wile before, and it finally started raining.

I stopped. I thought I heard something. Turning slowly, I saw a man. He was no more than two feet from me. He had long dark hair, a slightly pinched face, and strange clothes. But the most striking thing about him was his eyes. Blood red. I was instantly on guard.

"Who are you?" I asked coolly.

"My name is Aro." He responded, smiling slightly, "And who are you?"

"Why on earth would I tell you that?"

"Because I like to know the names of the people I kill. Oh well."

His face darted toward my neck, and just as was about to get there, I grabbed his neck. My hands heated, daring to create flames.

He pulled back quickly, but I did not release him.

"Please…" He muttered.

"Please what?" I responded.

"Please, don't kill me."

Something about his face told me to do that. I stopped, but stayed in a fighting stance.

He laughed slightly, rubbing his charred skin. I noticed that it was healing very quickly. How odd.

"You are a person of great power, no? Yes… A princess, destined to become a ruler. Azula. And my goodness… The people of this planet can control the elements… How strange…"

"How do you know who I am?"

"Because I read minds, dear."

I raised an eyebrow, "Sure you do."

"Tell me, do the people on your planet know the legends of Vampires?"

"Yes. But don't tell me you are one? Because I'm not stupid."

"Oh, but I am. Excuse me." He said, then runs off. I had to squint to even track his movement.

And I'd have been be stupid to deny what I was seeing. And then I decided to be smart.

Vampire Legends… I wracked my brain, thinking of the old stories. (Authors Note: I just realized I'm the same age as Azula, which I think is REALLY weird for some reason. O.o)

I remembered the things in the stories that would supposedly kill them… A steak and fire were what I could remember. I decided that fire would be the best thing, considering the fact that this thing had been afraid a moment ago…

Wind to my left… He'd just run by. Before I did anything else, I caused a circle of fire to rise around me, a little taller than myself.

I saw him form stop right in front of the veil of fire…

"Smart… I wonder, would you consider a partnership in regard to a few certain people you wish dead?" He said, his face a mask.

"And by that you mean…?"

"The Avatar. His friends, no? I saw that you very much want them dead… But you can't do it alone. Maybe not even with your whole nation behind you. We are in a similar situation, you see."

"What? You want someone dead, too?" I ask, an eyebrow raised.

"Yes… You see, on our planet, there are groups of Vampires. We are the royal ones-"

I cut him off, "We?"

"Oh, yes. I am the leader of the royal group. The Volturi… We have an assortment of Vampires with different powers… Some calmer than mine, others much more demented."

"So, you want someone dead. But you guys can't do it alone. Who are they?"

"Yes, and they are Vampires that have been causing us problems… Disobeying rules. You see, it all started with them when one of them fell in love with a human. And that, humans knowing about us, is one of the very few laws we've set… So, as their leader was an old friend of mine, I gave them a limit in which time she would be turned into a Vampire. Or they would die.

"Of course, they didn't meat the deadline, and not only that but I learn that the girl has had a Vampire child… Another thing strictly forbidden. Of course, the child was not the same as the ones which are forbidden, but as this arose, we learned that all of the other Vampire covens weren't quite as afraid of us as we thought… And then they have their little shape shifter wolf friends…"

He trailed off, staring up at the sky.

"So… You've got a problem with this coven of Vampires, but you can't defeat them all alone, because many others will stand by them." I said.

"Yes, correct. You see, together we are not strong enough to defeat the Cullen's, and you cannot defeat the Avatar and his friends alone. But together, they will both be history."

I dropped my fire shield, staring at him.

"How do I know you are telling the truth?" I asked.

"Because I have no reason to lie. I imagine we'd be quite evenly matched in a fight, which is not something I like to be… So… I do think that, if you agree, or course, we should go to my coven and discuss this with them."

Authors note: Oh, God… Go look up Blood On The Dance floor. SOOOOOO bad. Ughh.

"Okay… But when we walk, I have to be in a position where you can't kill me." I said.

"Of course." He said with a strangely kind smile.

I placed my hand on the back of his neck, ready to burn his head off at any moment.

"It is about a half an hours walk from here. Let us go." He said, and we began walking.

The walk was uneventful. Only when I saw an old abandoned village ahead, I knew we were almost there.

We walked into the middle of the village where twenty or so beings stood. They all stared at me with their piercing red eyes. Automatically, I detected something about one of them. She was small with black hair, and a smirk look on her face. She met my eves and her smirk turned to a look of determination.

And then I was sure I was being burned inside out. I cried out in pain, dropping to my knees… At first, I thought it was fire. Tearing through my body, boiling my blood and cracking my bones. But when I realized I could not get it to stop, I decided it wasn't fire.

I resorted to mental power. Stop. Stop. Stop stop stop. STOP. And it did.

"-Not to do that!" Aro was saying to the girl.

I stood slowly, and I saw that the girl, who I now decided looked very close to my age. She had a look of confusion and terrible power that she'd had before. I walk toward her slowly, concentrating my bending to her body. Her eyes narrowed, and she began scratching at her skin. No one made a move toward me.

When I reached her, she simply stared at me. I reached my hands out and placed them on her shoulders. And caused the most extreme heat I possibly could without using fire.

Her eyes widened, and she screamed, falling forward. I knew I was replicating what she'd done to me, accept with real fire.

The only one who did anything at that moment was a guy who looked a little older than me. "Jane!" he said, making a grab for me.

I rolled my eyes, and sent him flying with a blast of fire.

"Azula? Not to interrupt your fun, but I do think you came here to discuss the deal with these people, no?" Aro said calmly.

I released the Vampire who was apparently named Jane, and turned to him, "Yes."

Hope you liked this chapter! I had to have something in there with Jane getting her ass kicked, because I really don't like her. Teehee!
