A/N- Hmmm… not much to say here. Just that I'm trying my very best to take everyone's suggestions and I'm trying to connect this to the series as best as I can (ex. Zuko's scar… and more to come…)

Enjoy!

Chapter 4

When Sokka came home from school that day, he was actually happy. His sister had gotten kicked out of school. Now he didn't have to pretend he didn't know her because he was embarrassed. He could live his life freely.

Or at least that's what he thought before he got home…

When he got home, the cars of the officers were outside his house. He wondered if Katara had done something stupid. He approached cautiously, but stopped when he heard people coming out.

Hakoda and Kana were being dragged out by the officers in handcuffs. At this, Sokka ran behind the bushes, so no one would see him. Hakoda seemed to be struggling slightly against the cuffs, and Kana was talking to the sky. Probably praying… Sokka thought.

Then the officers carried out something. Sokka squinted to see better. It took him a while to figure it out, and when he did, he wished he hadn't.

Azula walked with her father away from the benders prison. When she turned around to give it one last look, she couldn't help but notice that the whole place seemed to have eerie dark clouds above it.

She turned back to the walkway she was being lead down by her father. Ozai had bailed her out with a large amount of money, because even the officers had their price, and Ozai had it. Though he left Zuko in the prison, claiming that it was where he belonged anyway. That he didn't deserve to see the light of day again. She smirked. She agreed with her father.

Mom… thought Sokka as he walked the empty streets of his neighbor hoods by himself. The officers had killed his mom while trying to arrest them. But his mom had put up a fight, so they shot her three times, to make sure she died. Or at least that was what he had overheard.

THIS IS ALL KATARA'S FAULT! was his original thought.

No… it's not her fault she was born like this… maybe the officers aren't always right, like I believed before…

I have to find Katara!

"Okay, so we're here," Aang said to himself as he looked at a map they had just bought with the little money they had.

"Would you talk to yourself a little quieter Twinkle Toes? I'm trying to concentrate!" Toph hollered, who was trying to practice her Earth bending skills.

Aang shut up and looked at the map a little more.

"Okay Toph," Aang said to her. She stopped Earth bending and faced him. "I think we should start heading to the mountains."

"Why there?" she asked coming up to him.

"Because it'll be harder for the officers to find us there," he explained.

Toph placed her elbow on his shoulder while she thought about this. Aang couldn't help but blush at their closeness. I really want to tell her how I feel, but now just doesn't seem to be the time…

Toph, oblivious to his rapidly increasing heart beat, just shrugged at the idea.

"Whatever you say Twinkle Toes," she said.

Inside the cell where Katara and Zuko were, Katara was practicing her Water bending and Zuko wary on whether or not he should try to use his bending.

"Zuko, it'll be okay," Katara tried to reason.

"I don't want to," he mumbled.

"But how will we bust out of here if you don't help?" she hissed.

"Maybe I don't belong in the outside world again…"

Katara couldn't believe what she was hearing come from his mouth.

"I guess I'm on my own..." she said softly.

A/N- There you go! I actually have ideas for the next chapter! YES! I'd also like to thank Tefnut Talvi for giving me some ideas that I am going to use. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for reading and please review!
