An Anguished Flower 2- Where am I? I feel like I'm in Hell! All around me,the walls are burning hot,and my skin feels like it's going to peel offme,like a bannana!-Kida

I wrote those words in my now wrinkling,moist journal. My whole body felt like it was melting, and I thought I was going to pass out! The cuff around my fragle ankle,seemed to get tighter and tighter! I was dieing of thrist or at least some cool air, and started pleading for water. "he..lp, someone! I neeed wat..er!" I mubbled harsely.Then the door, which was also keeping me from escaping, flung open, and in stepped a boy! He had big arrow on his bald head,and ran over to where I was sitting. "Ah,please!Don't hurt me! I just wan't some water!"I barely was able to say, which sounded stupid that I was afriad of a small boy hurting me. "I'm not going to hurt you?I'm here to help!"He said cheerfully, as he did some type of air bending on the chain, which cleanly cut it in half. I was free! "Oh my goddness!Thank,thank you!"I said in dry words. "Hurry! Fallow me!"he said, as a quickly stuffed my journal into my backpack, swung it over my shoulder, and ran behind him. Not knowing who he was,where he was taking me,or what I was doing here! The last time I remembered,I had just fallen to sleep,on dirt ground?

We twisted and turned corners with know caution at all, intel we came to a deck? A fire nation deck! What was I doing in a fire nation ship? On the deck, we went up a ladder,while I heard a bunch of fire nation soldiers, climbing behind us?I did not dare,look down, noting I was afraid of heights and the fact of how close they were underneath us. We were almost to the top, intel I was suddenly stopped by the chain on the cuff on my ankle. A fire nation soldier had grabbed onto the chain,and was trying to pull me of the bars, so I wouls fall, and he would catch me! "Ah,help!They have me!"I screamed, because I was also now looking straight down below me. "Ahhhhhhh, get me down! Get me down!Get me down!"My whole body was shaking, and I couldn't move. Both my hands and feet, were glued to the bars.I closed my eyes as tight as I could, and it just seemed to make it worse! "Here grabb my hand!"the boy said. Withmy eyes still shut tight, I reached up to grab his hand, at the same time the fire soldier was tugging at my ankle and climbing closer to me. I reached, straning my arm, and finally my hand closed over his. I opened my eyes, just as he swung me over his back, which amazed me, because I was much taller then he was, and started climbing intel we reached the top.

At the top was a flying Bason,a girl and boy that looked around my age, which were wearing water nation cloths, and a flying lemur. They were all sitting inside the Bason. Figuring thats were I was suppose to go, I climbed onto the big,furry white creature. Then the boy jumped onto the Bason's head, said some words, and off we flew. The force of us taking off, flung me to the back of the Bason, and I hit my back on the back of the large,matted box, we were sitting in. "Ow!My freakin back!"I rubbed my back rapidly. "Hey,thanks for saving me back there, ummm?What's your name?I want to thank you properly!"I rubbed my head. "It's Aang!Your welcome! And these are my friends Katara, Sokka. There from the water nation, and are helping my learn water bending, so I can save the world!"Hesaid againcheerfully. "This is Momo,he's a flying lemur,and this big guy is Appa,he's a flying bason!"He said, as Appa made a sound which sounded like a hello. "What's your name?"the girl Katara said, with a big smile on her face. "I'm Kida!"I grinned. "Hi,umm. What nation are you from?Sorry, I can't tell by your cloths."she chuckled, and I didn't blame her. Her cloths were nice and neat. While mine were torn and patched. "You see."I paused "'I don't know what nation I grew up in, or at least was from. All I remember is living in a small house,on a crop farm. I would always go outside and work on the crops. Everyday, even on holidays, including my birthday. I would plow,plant,and harvest for my parents and the nearby villagers. Even if one crop had gone either rotten or was forgotten to be picked. I was beaten with a beltor wasn't able to eat for a day. I don't know why they did it to me, but I've always hated them for that!"my voice seemed to silence everyone,and they couldn't think of what to say but "i'm so sorry about that Kida!" But I guess I didn't care.They didn't really know me, and I didn't really know them! We were almost complete strangers to each other.

I curled up in a corner, without anymore words, and looked out into the sunrise. The wind in my hair felt relaxing, and my skin could breath again. The sea's waves seemed to fallow us, and the reflextion in the water,was like another one of us. The cuff that was still around my ankle,was startingtocutmy sirculation off, and started to sting my foot. I started trying to pull it off, but it still wouldn't buge. "Ow! Does anyone know how to get this thing off my ankle, its killing me!"I bit my lip. "I can help! Let me see it!"the boy Sokka said. He lifted my foot up, and started looking at it. "Oh!It has a lock on it! If you hit it with this. it should pop right off!"he said as he pulled out a bomerang, from out of his clothing, and started hitting on the lock. "Cling!"it unhooked. "Wow! Thanks, your a life saver, Sokka!"I smiled cheerfully, rubbing the back of my head. "No Probelm Kida!"he said happily , also rubbing the back of his head. I through the cuff into the ocean.

"Guys,welcome to the earth nation!"He said, pointing to it. "Wow it's so bueaiful Aang"Katara said in amazment. "Yeah, while were there we can go swimming!"he hoped "Before we go swimming. Can we eat something first. I'm hungery!"Sokka complained, while his stomach growled. "Hey, here I have some food. It's just bread but...!Weres,weres all my bread?The soldiers took all my bread!Those bakas!"I screamed. "Well, we can always catch fish?"Aang suggested. "Yeah,...I guess."she said in a sad voice. "Whats wrong Kida?"Katara said worried. "They took the picture of my mom and dad."she sadly said again."Didn't you hate your parents?"Sokka questioned. "Yeah, but they still gave me live, you know?"she answered "I understand"he said quietly Then Appa landed on earth nation ground, and we all got off. "I'm going to take a look around guys!"I said softly. "Ok, but it's not safe! I'm coming with you!"she siad, running up next to me. "Ok, boys, we'll be back before sundown!"I smiled and waved goodbye. Me and Katara walked off, into a forest, and Kida awaited for another chance of adventure.
