Everyone froze, as Aang handed back the clothes and Avalon stared in wonder. "The Avatar, I knew they were some type of freaks." Mica laughed, "They should leave, before Fire Benders come hunting for him." He strode over to Aang and put on a sick smile. "No!" Avalon slapped Mica. "How dare you banish the Avatar!" Her eyes glazed with fire, she gripped her hands into a firm fist.
"What's the matter?" Mica taunted her. He walked causally towards her, and stared into her eyes. "You having trouble with your little temper? You know how dangero—OW!" He jumped back as a flame shot towards him. It licked his face making it red. "TREASON!" Avalon yelled as she aimed for another shot.
Aang, Katara, Sokka looked at each other as yet another flame shot towards Mica. Mica yelped, and jumped right into a corner. Avalon gasped, and lowered her hand. But just as she did, one of Mica's cruel friends aimed and fired water at her, drenching Avalon. "Looked like you needed to be cooled off." Mica smirked. Avalon, filled with rage, raised her hand to shoot but was instantly held. "Stop it, no more." Zio lowered her arm, forcefully. "You know better than that Avalon." Katara burst out, "But that bastard started it first!" She flung her figure and pointed strait to Mica.
"Yeah, but she needs to stop taking things so seriously and get a grip." He strode towards her but was stopped by Zio. Zio was taller than Mica, but Mica wasn't that tall to start off with. Zio was much stronger, much more skilled, and much smarter, by a long shot. He had black hair that had wisp over his forehead. And dark blue eyes. He could be patient, but at times could be the biggest son of a bitch. And every girl dreamed of him, but Avalon just tended to get pissed with him.
"I had him, and I wasn't going to hurt him, just give him a scar or two, maybe three!" She grinned evilly. Mica backed away, not having water bending, he was pretty defenseless. "Don't even think about it." Zio warned her, he stepped between her and Mica. His eyes looked down into hers, considering her eyes only came up to his chin. "Why are you sticking up for him?" Katara barked, as Aang and Sokka's faces got red. "You saw what happened! Don't deny it!" She stepped toward Zio, who was taller than her. She poked him, and held his gaze. "Don't worry Katara, it's okay." Avalon said with a heavy sigh that sounded like her spirit had been broken. Katara swung around and looked at Avalon with confusion and sympathy. Avalon turned and walked away, and with each of her steps, looked like she was pulling a chain.
Katara was stunned, and switched her eyes to Zio. He glanced as she walked away then stared at Katara. "You can go stay in the house next to that one." He pointed to a house which seemed to be the one Avalon was heading to. "Is that one taken?" Aang queried. "Avalon stays there, since you know her, it would be better." He turned and walked away, as his men followed behind. Every u single /u girl turned to him as he walked and let out a dreamy sigh.

"She's a fire bender!" Sokka's mouth was wide because of the shocking news. Katara ignored her brother's comment, and hurried after Zio. Zio knocked the door three times before somebody yelled. "I'M COMING!" The door swung open and Avalon stared at Zio. Not noticing Katara switching glances between the two. "They're staying with you." Zio strode off like nothing happened. "Come in." Avalon moved so Katara could come in, but she never took her eyes off of Zio until Aang came in.
"Nice place you got here." Aang searched the room with his eyes. The room was really no different than a regular hut, but it was very clean and tidy. "You'll sleep here. If that's okay with you." Avalon turned then stopped. "Can I get you anything?" She smiled as Aang started making shadow puppets. "No Aang, see like this." Sokka moved his figures and made puppet that looked like Mo Mo. "We'll be fine, thanks." Katara grinned back as Avalon turned to a room and entered.
