Chapter 3: Oh no

Katara stared at the different scrolls on the small ebony shelf. How to master the elements: the teachings for all benders. was the first she caught sight of. Wow, she thought, Aang could definately make use of this. She picked it up and stared at the tag attached to the worn leather cover. 600 gold doubloons! That was way too pricy. Sighing, Katara put the book back down. Besides, it was probably just a fake anyway.

"Thanks for waiting guys, I was just busy looking at this," Katara said as she turned around, ready to leave Shoyun. They had everything they needed for at least another 3 weeks trip. "Guys?" Where were they? Had they left without realizing that she had not followed them? I have to find them she thought and sped off in the direction they had came from. Hopefully, they hadn't gone too far.

Oh no

"Hey Aang, where'd Katara go?" Sokka asked as the two boys returned to the store where Katara had been 30 minutes ago. "Didn't we tell her to wait here?"

"She must not have heard us," Aang concluded, looking around to see if perhaps Katara was still at the scene. "We gotta find her!"

"Are you looking for a water tribe girl?" a merchant behind them suddenly spoke up. He had a sort white mustache and deep wrinkles on in forehead. Yet, he didn't seem too old.

"Yeah! She's around fourteen and has blue eyes and brown hair! Have you seen her?" Sokka asked, grabbing onto the collar of the poor merchant.

"Y…yea. She left my stand just about half an hour ago."

"Really? Where was she headed!"

"She took a right at the corner an-"

"THANK YOU!" Sokka yelled as he grabbed Aang and quickly headed in the direction the merchant had pointed them. They were unfamiliar with this place, and who knew what kind of people lived here. They had to find her quick.

All of a sudden, Sokka and Aang stopped dead in his tracks. In front of them, was a soldier, clad in heavy red armor and a menacing sword was dangling from his belt. There was no mistaking the Fire Nation soldier. Could Zuko have found them already? Or was it a new fire nation enemy? If one thing was for sure, a fire nation soldier meant serious trouble.

Oh no

Zuko jostled through the heavy crowds as he struggled to keep his eye on the Water tribe peasant. She seemed frantic and seemed to be running around in circles. Zuko began to wonder if the girl really knew where the Avatar was. Perhaps he should just go search for the Avatar himself. So far, following the girl didn't seem to have had much a result yet.

The girl suddenly stopped and spun around. Thanks to quick reflexes, Zuko was able to duck behind a shelf and avoid being seen. It had been pretty close though. He decided it was safe and left the safety of the shelf to continue following the girl, only to find that the girl had disappeared.

Oh no
