Chapter 2
"Get back here!" shouted Zuko angrily.
"No, I'm never going back to that prison cell. I told you earlier, I don't know where the avatar is right now!" I said furiously running down the hall away from Zuko and his guards.
Faster and faster I ran till I was out of breath. I fell to my knees and started to cry.
"Why am I being so foolish?" I thought to myself. "This is the Prince of the Fire Nation and someone who I respected."
"Why are you crying my child?" asked Iroh with some curiosity in his voice.
"Zuko wants me to help him find the Avatar, but since I'm always trapped like an animal in a cage and not outside to see the clouds the clouds the avatar might be heading, it's pointless."
"Why don't we take a walk together and talk about this some more."
"Sure, I'll gladly walk with you Iroh."
"That's odd, said Aang. "Usually there are bunches of berries on these bushes. It's almost like something ate them all."
"Aww man, I was hoping for some food," said Sokka pouting
"That's all you think about Sokka," said Katara.
Suddenly, there was a snap.
"Who's there?" asked Aang.
No one answered
"Who's there?" asked Aang with a little more force in his voice.
"The better question is who you are and why are you here?" asked a strange earth bender girl.
She looked about Aang's age, had deep green eyes, had long black hair and looked friendly enough.
"My name is Aang and these are my friends, Sokka and Katara. We stopped here to find me an Earth bending teacher…"
"And some food," said Sokka as his stomach made a loud grumble.
"My name is Faith," she said with a chuckle in her voice. "I can gladly take you to my village to rest and have something to eat. It's only five minutes from here."
Eagerly, everyone followed Faith to her village.
"Where's the village?" asked Aang with a slight curiosity in his voice.
"Is this some kind of joke?" asked Sokka.
"No, not at all" said Faith almost laughing. "Just look up."
To everyone's amazement, the village was above their heads in the trees.
"Wow" said the three in unison.
"Shall we go up or are we going to stand here all day?" asked Faith.
The group quickly went up the ladder to the village, only to find out that there lives were going to turn upside down.
