Sam ran to the nearest bus stop. The bus driver looked at her suspiciously because of her wet, sad appearance. She sat down quietly. Looking down, she could see her long wet hair. It was dark, near to black, and it reminded her of his dark hair. She realized that she will never care for anyone as much as she cared for him. She looked out of the window and saw a few police cars pass by with their sirens roaring. Her heart skipped a beat. It was hard to concentrate now. Herself being guilty of murder, and she couldn't stop to think that those police cars might be for her. No doubt the neighbors have called from all the noise and suspicion.
She stayed on the bus until the last stop: downtown New York. She went to the first hotel she saw and got a room. She had $200 saved that she took from the house in the last minute and put in her red bag in a number of other things. She made her way to room No.17. She turned the doorknob, ready to pass out on the bed, but instead she found she had some visitors.
A tall, dark man with long hair in a ponytail with a few more men were waiting for her.
"Hello Samantha, or shall I say Katara," said the man with the ponytail.
"What—Who are you?" Samantha asked quickly. She did not have a good feeling when they called her that name: Katara. For some reason, she thought it sounded familiar.
"My name is Grog. We've come for you, and you alone, Katara. The last Avatar has died and you are the next in line to rule Alkia. I'm sure you don't remember Alkia. You left when you were very young. I doubt you even know what an Avatar is," said the man with the ponytail. It was true. Samantha didn't know what an Avatar was and she didn't know of any place with the name of Alkia. So, she ran.
She ran down the hall and saw the elevator doors open. Sam was just about the jump into the elevator when the doors shut. She whirled around and the ceiling plaster fell right in front of where she was standing. Dust filled the hall and she could hardly make out the figure of a man. Samantha started to cough loudly and was feeling light-headed. What have I gotten myself into?
"There's no point of trying to run because we'll out run you. No point of trying to fight because we are stronger and more knowledgeable about our powers. All I ask is that you hold still." Grog was still standing in front of her, but now there was a man behind her. Samantha had no time to react. She felt a sharp pain on the side of her head and fell. She would not wake up for many more hours, that is, until they reach Alkia.
