A/N: Ok, here's chapter 4! And when you're done reading, send me a review! PRETTY PLEASE? COME ON PPL! REVIEW! Lol Anyway...
PrincesHayLin: It does? Hmm... I didn't realize it. Srry about that! Just shows what I know, lol... I've had that idea in mind for that chapter for quite a while... I just never have any time to type any more LOL (Well, it seems like that). The rest of the story is totally different, though. Don't worry, I would never try to steal anybody's ideas. But thanks for pointing that out to me:)
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar, blah blah blah...
-Chapter 4- Unexpected Visitor
Krystal was laying down on the sand, hoping to fall asleep sometime soon. God, why did I have to be a freakin' Firebender? They're all a bunch of selfish, heartless JERKS! And I'm one of them... She sighed quietly. And now nobody trusts me. Just because of what's been happening in this stupid war. At least I don't have to be on that cruddy ship anymore, with that ass hole of a prince. He DESERVED to be banished. And why did he have to seperate me from my family... Krystal yawned, and soon after that, she had finally fallen asleep.
-------
It was bright and early the next morning, and Aang was getting very anxious to learn Firebending. "Come on, Krystal!" he kept saying. "Can you teach me now?" he begged. "PLEASE?"
Krystal and Katara laughed. "I think we should eat some breakfast first, Aang," Katara mentioned.
"That's good, I'm starving!" Krystal muttered.
The three of them sat down to eat, and they noticed something--or someone-- was missing. "Where's Sokka?" Katara wondered. Aang and Krystal scanned the campsite, looking for any sign of him. But all their question were answered when they heard a loud noise. They all turned around to see Sokka snoring away, burried inside his sleeping bag.
Aang, Katara, and Krystal started laughing out loud. "Does he always snore like that?" Krystal managed to ask through all her laughter.
"I always hear him snore," Katara replied, "but never that loud!" The three continued snickering loudly. But all that laughing woke up Sokka. "Huh? What's going on?" he muttered sleepily, sitting up to face them.
"You should hear yourself!" Aang shouted, still giggling.
Sokka looked confused. "What are you talking about?" he asked with a loud yawn, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"You snore loud enough for people to hear you from a mile away!" Katara teased.
Sokka glared at her. "I do not!"
"I don't mean to be a burden, or anything, Sokka..." Krystal started, snorting to stiffle a laugh, "... but, uh... yeah, you do..."
Sokka continued to send the three of them a deadly glare as his face turned bright red. "Whatever."
Katara snickered at the look on her brother's face and said, "Are you going to eat, or what?"
Immediately, Sokka jumped up and ran over to where they were sitting. "Don't have to ask me twice!" he exclaimed and he grabbed all the food he could possible hold in his hands and started stuffing it in his face. Aang, Katara, and Krystal also started eating until they were satisfied.
-------
"Can you teach me now, Krystal?" Aang asked hopefully and impatiently, almost jumping up and down from all his excitement.
Krystal giggled. "Well, I guess you've waited long enough, Aang," Krystal replied.
"Cool!" Aang shouted. "What are we waiting for? Let's get Firebending!"
Katara stood up and walked beside them. "Can I watch?" she asked nicely.
"Of course!" Krystal and Aang said in unison. The three of them walked over to the beach, right in front of the ocean, to practice. Katara turned around. "Aren't you coming, Sokka?" she asked her brother.
Sokka had a weird, disgusted look on his face. He just turned around and walked away, his arms crossed to his chest.
"Ok..." Katara muttered. "Oh, forget him, guys. He's probably just tired from all this traveling."
Krystal sighed. She knew why Sokka was acting like that. And it wasn't because he was tired form travel. It was because she was a Firebender, and now that she was going to teach Aang, he would become a Firebender as well. Trying to ignore that thought, Krystal just shook her head and got back to practicing. "Ok, Aang, let's get started."
-------
Sokka decided to take a walk around the woods while Aang was practicing. Great, he thought. Just great. Now we're traveling with two Firebenders. I know, Aang's the Avatar, and he's supposed to learn Firebending, but I don't trust Krystal as his teacher. I bet this was just a set-up. She's probably here right now because Zuko told her to. This is just a plan he thought up to capture Aang! I knew we shouldn't trust her!
He turned around and looked out at the beach where Aang and Krystal were and watched them closely. It looked like Krystal was demonstrating a move. Her hands were lit up in a small flame. She said something to Aang, but Sokka couldn't really make out what it was that she said, considering he was pretty far away from them. It looked like Aang was trying to copy the move Krystal just did. He held his hands in front of him, trying to make some fire fly out just like Krystal did, but all he could get were a few little weak sparks.
Krystal showed him again, and Aang tried again. He managed to get a very tiny flame, but it wasn't nearly like the one Krystal had formed. Aang tried even harder, and soon enough, he had formed a huge flame iin his hand, this time bigger than Krystal's. She and Katara looked amazed, and then said something to Aang. It looked like they were congratulating him, or something, because he recieved a hug from both girls.
As Sokka contunied watching them practice, he noticed something different about the scenery... He squinted his eyes, to help him see a little better, and noticed something in the ocean. As it was coming closer and closer to the shore, he could finally make out what it was.
He started running as fast as he could. "Guys! FIRE NATION SHIP!" he shouted shrilly.
The other three looked out at the ocean and gasped. "Come on!" yelled Aang. The four kids hurried over to Appa, trying to gather as much of their belongings as they could in the short amount of time they had.
Once they were all on the bison's back, Aang shouted, "Yip-yip!" and they took off, over the forest.
Prince Zuko looked up at the sky in disgust. "Get the Avatar!" he commanded. Unfortunately, Appa was still somewhat close to the ground. From the ship, some soldiers sent blasts of fire at them. "WOAH!" Sokka shouted, as it just barely missed him. "AANG! FASTER!"
There were plenty more flames where that came from. Another was shot at them, and that time it hit Sokka. The only thing keeping him from falling was he was trying his hardest to hold on to the edge of Appa's saddle. "GUYS! Help me!" he shouted, starting to panick.
Krystal bent down, trying to help him up. "Sokka! Grab my hand!"
Sokka did as he was told, although he wasn't exactly really happy about it. Krystal tried to pull him up, but another huge blast of fire was shot at them. It him Krystal with great force, causing her to fall off Appa's back... along with Sokka.
"SOKKA! KRYSTAL!" Katara shouted, almost in tears, as she watched them fall.
A/N: Ooooh a cliffy! Lol I'm bored. REVIEW! PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE? Lol Oh yeah, I was really bored (as usual) so I drew a pic of Krystal. It's on my profile. I had a colored one, but I forgot to put it on there. Oh well. LOL :)
