Toph walked slowly, listening intently for any sounds. A thud- but that was her own footstep.

Then, laughter. Light, cheerful, children's laughter.

"Hello?" she called. Again, laughter filled the space. Normally, the laughter would've been a welcome sound. But tonight it was menacing. As she turned this way and that, the laughter seemed to mock her.

Zuko stood and strode to the doorway, but Katara remained hunched over on the floor.

"Are you coming?" he asked.

She didn't respond.

"I really do have better things to do than helping the avatar and a few peasants."

Still no reply.

"Look, I'm going to ask one more time. Are you coming?"

Katara decided that, even though this was the guy who had been chasing Aang for quite a while, it wasn't a good idea to wander around alone in the place.

Aang was getting himself no where.

A turn here, a room there. It didn't make any sense.

He eventually had to admit it. He was lost. Even when he walked straight through the walls, ignoring the maze-like passages.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Heh…Yah, I know…Short chapter. Oh well.
