Me: Hi people.

Gidget: Don't pay attention to her. She's on a sugar rush.

Air and Fire

Sarah's breath stopped. Nothing good could come of Zhao's sudden appearance.

"What do you want Zhao?" Sarah asked, hiding her fear and moving in front of Katara.

"I want you to tell me where the Avatar is." Zhao sneered as he approached the airbender. He raised his hand as if to slap her but instead grabbed the wrist that had instinctively moved in front of her face. Sarah yelped with pain. Zhao pushed her to the floor and seize Katara, making her face Sarah who had just stood up. "Or, I can burn you're little friend to a crisp." A small flame appeared in Zhao's hand which was dangerously close to Katara. "I'll give you to the count of ten. One, two, three…"

Can I save Katara without revealing who I am? Sarah thought desperately. Katara watched fear and panic replace the cool confidence that was usually in Sarah's silvery eyes.

"Six, seven…"

No, I can't. Sarah answered herself.

"Eight, nine, ten." The moment the word ten left Zhao's lips the flame went out. Sarah took advantage of Zhao's surprise to send a breeze to move between Zhao and Katara. Zhao screamed in frustration as Katara slipped from his grasp.

How is that little witch Sarah doing this? Zhao asked himself. Then it hit him.

"You're an airbender!"

"Took you long enough to figure that out." Sarah said. She sent a mighty gust of air at Zhao knocking off his feet. "Run Katara!"

They both ran for their lives. Sarah took care of soldiers in their way as she constantly looking over her shoulder for Zhao.

They had finally reached the deck when Katara exclaimed, "Sarah, look! It's Aang and Sokka!"

The boys must have heard Katara because suddenly Appa began moving towards the ship.

Aang and Sokka had been search for any sign of the girls for hours. It was almost nightfall and they tired, not to mention hungry.

"Sarah, look! It's Aang and Sokka!" called a faint voice in the distance.

"Aang, it's Katara and Sarah! Make Appa go towards that boat." Sokka ordered.

"Yay! We found them!" Aang shouted gleefully. "Yip-yip!"

"Hello girls." Sarah and Katara whipped around, ready to fight, when they heard Zhao's sinister voice behind them.

"It's unwise to challenge a waterbender when they're right next to their element." Sarah stated. Katara caught the hint and launched a water whip at the admiral as Appa came close to the boat. Unfortunately, it missed.

"I hope you can swim better than you can waterbend." Zhao snickered before sending a fireball that knocked Katara overboard into the ocean below.

"Katara!" Sarah, Aang, and Sokka yelled together.

"You'll pay for that Zhao!" Sarah screamed, anger raging through her voice.

She sent several blasts of air at him. The fight was on. Their skills were matched. Zhao would attack and Sarah would defend and vise versa. Soon they were panting, unable to attack each other. By that time Aang and Sokka had fished Katara out of the water and were watching the fight intently.

"You're obviously a good fighter, little airbender, but it's time for this battle to end and for me to win."

"You're right Admiral. It is time for this to end, but you won't be victorious." With this last statement Sarah summoned all of her strength and released a fireball, strong enough to knock Zhao into unconsciousness.

Me: Finally. The secret is out. Do you know how hard it was for me to keep that to myself?

Gidget: Get to the cookies.

Me: Oh, yeah. Patience Halliwell gets ten cookies because she was almost right. –gives cookies to Patience–

Gidget: Hurry up.

Me: Will you be quiet! Remember to review but not flame.
