He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe his father would think he would fall for this! Quietly, he got up grabbing the letter and exited the campsite. He started for the cave he found the other night.
Aang sat up just as Zuko was leaving. He was getting very good at feeling vibrations in the ground whenever someone moved. Silently, he Airbended off of Appa and followed Zuko into the surrounding forest. After a little bit, Zuko came to a cave and went in. Intrigued, Aang followed him. Zuko was meditating and thinking hard, Aang could see by the beads of sweat on his forehead. He watched him for a bit, when Zuko picked up a piece of parchment and read it over and put it back down.
"What is that?" Aang said stepping out of the shadows. Zuko hurriedly stuffed the letter away.
"Nothing." Zuko quickly said. He didn't want Aang to see, because he would think he betrayed them. Aang did a quick Airbending move and got the letter from Zuko.
"No!" Zuko exclaimed.
Aang read through the letter and his mouth fell open and he dropped the letter.
"Zuko…I…I—I can't believe…" Aang stuttered in shock.
"It's not what it looks like! I would never betray you!" Zuko tried to explain.
"YOU WERE CONSIDERING KILLING KATARA AND SOKKA AND CAPTURING ME? AFTER ALL WE DID FOR YOU? AND YOU CHOSE YOUR DIGNITY OVER US? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ZUKO! IT WAS ALL A PLOY? BE FRIENDS WITH US, AND DRAG US OFF IN THE MIDDDLE OF THE NIGHT? I thought…I thought we were friends! Roku was right, you disgust me." Aang said crushing the letter in his hand and turning his back on Zuko.
"Wait, Aang!" Zuko called. Aang took off into the forest with a lightning speed. Zuko tried to catch up but he couldn't. Aang was too fast, but still he ran after Aang.
When Aang got to the campsite he woke up Katara and Sokka.
"We need to get out of here," he said bitterly.
"What? Why?" Sokka asked groggily.
"What about Zuko?" Katara asked.
"He's a piece of dirt, he betrayed us after all we did for him!" Aang shouted in anger. They didn't ask any more questions and quickly packed up, dreading Aang's wrath, and within 5 minutes they had the camp packed up and they took off. When Zuko got there, he found an empty clearing with nothing but his sleeping bag and the fire pit still cooling from the fire recently in it. Zuko cursed and let fire escape him and steam flared out his nose. They left him; they abandoned him. It wasn't they only time he had been abandoned; his family had deserted him. At least then he had Uncle to go to, now he had no one. Uncle wouldn't want him back anyways and besides he didn't even know where Uncle was. He sighed as he packed up his sleeping bag and slung it over his shoulder. He looked and saw the tree branches missing off of one tree and all the limbs were on the ground where the bison had knocked them off. He turned in the opposite way and started walking.
"Aang? What's the matter?" Katara asked softly, hanging over Appa's saddle and looking down to where Aang sat clenching the reins with white knuckles. Without a reply Aang shoved the letter in her hands and she smoothed it out. After skimming it over quickly she looked up. "I can't believe he would do something like that!" Katara hissed. "What if he wasn't considering it though? And we just left him when he wasn't even thinking about it?" Katara suggested.
"He was considering it alright! I watched him. He studied it like he was deciding to do it!" Aang accused Zuko.
"I can't believe it." Katara said again. "I don't want to believe it!"
"I don't want to either, I—I wanted Zuko to teach me Firebending." Aang sighed. "I wanted him to be our friend." Aang stared off into the star-scattered night.
