Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukah/Happy Kwanza!
Aang- Are you going to say that on every fic?
Yes, now do the disclaimer
Aang- Guardiangirl1 does not own Avatar the Last Airbender; if she did, I would have been tied to this chair a long time ago
He's right. Anyway, this chapter will probably only be about a page, I've got 4 other fics I want to update before 10:00 tonight. Enjoy anyway!
Chapter 8- The Capture
"Okay", Sokka said as they finished rebuilding the house (or the frame to it anyway), "This is seriously our last night here", he continued, "I'd like to get the North Pole before I'm eighty"
Every time they tried to leave, Mick stopped them, saying, "Just one more day." Kosho was starting to get a little suspicious; why did he want so desperately for them to stay? She was soon going to regret asking the question though.
It was late that night. Very late. They were sleeping in one of the rebuilt cottages. Kosho was laying awake, mulling over her thoughts. She didn't sleep very much anymore. Sleeping wasn't something you could do very well when you were alone.
She heard a resounding crash, and saw flames rising up in he window. She sat up stiff as board, and yelled, "WAKE UP!"
Everyone else startled awake, and looked out the window. They could see shadows in the flames.
"Firebenders!" Sokka yelled, jumping up, "Everyone go out the back way!"
The gang scrambled out of the cottage-Aang and Kosho stopped long enough to grab their gliders-and watched the hut burn from the outside.
"So", said a silky voice behind them, " You're the great Avatar. You're just a child"
The kids whirled around. A Firebender was standing behind them, with practically an army behind him.
"What do you want?" Aang snapped, holding his staff out, ready to fight.
"Why, none the less to capture the Avatar", he said, "Grab her!"
Aang tensed. Wait a minute… grab her? But he…Kosho!
"Let me go!" she protested as two Firebenders grabbed her, "Let me go now!"
"I don't think so", the Firebender said, "Now, we have what we want-"
"Stop!" protested a voice from behind them. Mick and his sister were coming up from behind, both with looks of shock and horrification on their faces.
"Now, now Mick", the Firebender said, "You did your part. You helped me get what I want. Now I will give you what you want"
"But-"
"Don't fight!" the Firebender snapped, "Otherwise I'll burn this place around your ears!"
"You said you wouldn't though!" Mick cried desperately, "You said if I helped you, you would leave us alone!"
"Then I wouldn't argue now would I?" the Firebender turned back to his troops, and watched Kosho struggle against her captors, "Move out"
Aang steeped forward to stop them, but the Firebender whirled around and blasted the ground in front of them; it went up in an inferno. It lasted only a moment, but by the time the flames died down, they were all gone.
Sokka turned to Mick, "You were helping them!"
And all Mick could do was stare back, a look of guilt I his eyes. The only answer the kids needed.
Aang- Evidently this Firebender doesn't know the Avatar
Be thankful, he was going to capture you, but I changed it at the last minute, because one of my friends said the idea of capturing you was boring and overused.
Aang- Uh, thanks…?
Well, while Aang puzzles over that, Happy Holidays! Review!
