Chapter Ten: A Threat


Li jumped from the bridge, landing on the ground gently. Her glider was clutched tightly in her hands. She spread out the fans and gave it a good throw, running off to grab it. She grabbed onto it and started flying through the air.

Li had a slight memory of which way to go to get to the village. She had been seduced by the smells and the sights, so she hadn't paid much attention to where she had been going.

She jumped down from the air, and folded her fans back into her glider. There was a fork in the road, and she couldn't remember which way to go. She pointed in the direction of one, then the other.

"Uh… I think I came from that way… but I could've as easily come from that way." She muttered, utterly confused. So, she took a chance and went on the trail to the right. Even though this trail was the right, it wasn't the right one. She was going the wrong way, and the consequences were not good.

Li walked down the path, her glider dragging behind her. The path seemed unfamiliar to her, but she continued. For some reason she heard sounds ahead that did not sound like the regular sounds of the forest, or those of the village.

A bush was in the way of the path, and Li could see light making its way through the brush. She dropped her glider on the ground and peeked through the bush, ever so quietly. She had to hold her breath to keep from screaming.

An entire group of fire nation soldiers sat around a large camp fire, talking and eating together. A few seemed to be looking at a map and planning something. Li pulled head back through the bushes, terrified and angry at the same time.

Li turned into a bird; and with slight trouble from her wounded wing flew into the tree just above the men looking at the map. She studied it, and quickly found their campsite on the map. It was circled; it was a mile away from the village.

About two miles away- the distance that Li had traveled- there was an X. The bird barely let out a squawk… the X was where the tree houses were. Quickly the bird flew back to the bushes, then changing back to her normal self.

Li unfolded the glider and gave it a good chuck to send it off. She grabbed it and flew off as quickly as possible. She had to get back to warn the others before the Fire Nation attacked. If she hadn't found the troops, her new friends would be killed.

All of a sudden Li wasn't that hungry anymore.


OH WOW! I actually put up the next chapter! Yayness for me! I really apologize for my laziness, but I really lost interest in the story. I'm planning on finishing it so my soul can finally rest XD
