Why are you reading this? It sucks! Go read something good instead! Okay, I'm over it!
Oh yes, Reggie Tuesday, this is meant to be like a modern-day Avatar, sorry, I thought I mentioned that in an author's note somewhere. Anywho, thanks for reviewing!

"No!" my voice cracked, my throat was sore. I was shaking all over, but I was back in the cave. I listened hard and thanked my sore throat. I could only manage to speak in a dry, croaking whisper. I hadn't woken my… friends?
I slumped back into my bed. The image in my dream haunted me. I tried to think about something else, but…. The girl in the dream was my best friend. She was an earth-bender, and I had known her since we were five. But then, one day, she was gone. The police searched everywhere for her, but it was hopeless. My best friend had disappeared without a trace. That was a couple of months ago, and I still dreamed about her. Horrible dreams.
I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I waited in that position until I heard the noises that meant that Jake and Michelle were up. Sighing, I pulled my hair back into my cap and started to walk out of my room. Standing in the doorway, I could hear them arguing about something. I strained to listen. I heard Michelle's voice say, "Come on Jake, why don't you trust her?"
Then Jake, "I just think that it's too possible that she's a Fire Nation spy to trust her just yet."
"But Jake, she…" Michelle saw me, "uuuum… good, you're up, we need to get something to eat."
"Like what?" I said. How where we supposed to get food if we were stranded here?
"Vegetables. A lot of people throw seeds into the wind or at birds just to be annoying. The seeds get carried away, often into the mountains." Michelle said, "let's go."
So we were off, and like Michelle said, there were a lot of vegetables around. We gathered what we could and were about to go back when I heard what sounded like a moan. "What happened?" I asked, but the two of them didn't know what I was talking about. So it most likely wasn't one of them.
"Maybe it was just –" Michelle began, but she was cut off as Jake and I whispered "shh" in unison.
"Ooooh." We all heard it this time, followed by two coughs and a thud. It was coming from my left. I started walking toward the noise when my… uuum… friends stopped me. "It could be a trap."
I spun around angrily, "Or it could be someone who needs our help!" I yelled hoarsely. My throat was still sore but I didn't care. I knew, of course, that it could be a trap, but I also knew that if it wasn't, we were the only ones who knew where this person was. Didn't they value the live of other people?
A rustling broke into my angry thoughts. It came from the general direction that the noises we had heard earlier had come from. The three of us gasped.
In case you hadn't noticed, I like cliff-hangers. If you're reading this fic and hate it, then why are you reading this fic?
