Please R+R. This, as you may have noticed, is chapter four. And that's just about all I can say about it.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Avatar, and blah blah blah.

The rustling didn't stop. The three of us stared at the spot, open-mouthed and grouped together, when a chickadee hopped out of a bush. That's what had made the rustling. A chickadee. It flew away and we watched its process, that is, until it flew headlong into a tree with a "sqeemala!" sound.

Then, we remembered that there was someone nearby. We searched in the bushes until we found him. He was lying on his stomach with his head turned to the right. From the back I could see small cuts and bruises on his arms and legs. A few on his face. His worst injuries seemed to be a black eye and a long gash across his shin. But my friends and I were only looking at his shirt. It was torn and dirty, but it was red. He was wearing a red shirt. He was Fire Nation. This was a trap. I braced myself for the Fire Nation troops. What would they do to us? Would they kidnap us, or simply kill us? Next to me, I saw my friends duck too. Together, we waited for the Fire Nation. But they never came. This wasn't a trap, which meant the boy was really hurt.

"C'mon guys, he needs our help." I said, as I walked towards him. Jake and Michelle each grabbed one of my arms.

"No, he doesn't need our help. In case you hadn't noticed, he's Fire Nation."

"And in case you hadn't noticed, he's hurt. Is it suddenly illegal to get hurt?" Taken aback, my friends shook their heads. "Okay then, Michelle, grab his head, I'll get his legs, Jake, you take the middle." I directed.

Jake grumbled a little bit, but they followed my orders anyway. Together, we carried the boy back to the cave where Michelle made a room for him. My mother is (was?) a doctor, and she taught me some things. So I went into his room to see what we could do for him. Nothing seemed too serious, but the cuts could easily get infected. We would have to help him whether we wanted to or not.

At least it's not a cliffhanger! Please, please, please review. I want opinions!
