Chapter Eleven, so this will probably be the shortest chapter I've ever written. I hope you all still like the story and stuff between Anala and Kai will happen very, very soon. Mysterious :D. You probably thought this was the chapter that revealed everything but no. Soon. Very soon. But not now :P I feel mean XD I will put up chapter twelve possibly on Saturday, 23 June 2012 (Australian date). I have to work a lot lately (huge toy sale) and won't get any time to upload until Saturday. I'll put this one up now so you don't have to wait for a week and be disappointed by this short chapter that's pretty much just a filler. Anyway, onward to the (possibly) shortest chapter I've written. Oh, and remember, Ari is Kai's cover name and Fox-Rat Man believes it's her real name.

The scenery was beautiful from where she sat. The wide, open ocean was laid out in front of her, spreading for miles. She wished she could bend her element. She'd tried but it was very difficult, she just couldn't get the movements right. The water barely moved when she waved her hand over it. It was almost as if she wasn't a bender at all, but it was there, she knew it, she just needed practise.

She had travelled from a town where she had been staying after her final encounter with Anala. The same creep had tried to attack her again. She didn't understand how he continued to find her or why he was after her. All she wanted to do was to find Fox-Rat Man and give him the stupid Jade Jewel that was hanging around her neck, still glowing faintly but still eerily. She thought she was crazy when she had seen it move slightly on her neck while she was sitting still but ignored it, positive it was her imagination.

Though, her heart wasn't in it. She missed Anala and their discovery of the Jade Jewel was supposed to be their thing, it was supposed to be legendary. Now, she'd only be a legend if she found a way to survive any of Anala's future attacks.

She picked up the little amount of gear she had and walked off to the north. She'd heard about a small, peaceful town right on the cliff side. Surely there was someone there who would give her some refuge or at least it would be a place for her to stay before that strange, little man found her again.

She travelled on, the sun setting which made the water sparkle. She was glad in a way that the Jade Jewel swung around her neck. It was a great to use instead of carrying around a flame. She only wished Anala was still around, she'd be able to light a fire better than she could.

He watched as the two teenagers rode off on the black ostrich horse with raised eyebrows. They'd ridden right past him and had almost bowled him over. What's their rush? He thought before he shrugged and pushed it aside. He had bigger things to worry about. He was sure the girl Ari would waste no time to get to a new town, especially since it was getting dark.

He looked back to the teenagers who'd become a speck in the distance. He'd gotten a look at the two before they'd passed him. There was something so familiar about the girl it spooked him. He thought for a moment, trying to figure out where he'd seen such a pale, black haired and golden eyed girl before. It only took him a moment before it came to him, everything connecting like a puzzle piece.

He grabbed the short man who was chewing on some food and practically threw him onto the nearest ostrich horse. "What the-"

"We've been found out. I don't know how, but that girl's friend escaped from prison. She must have heard us before. Go and get those damn pirates now, I'll need backup." He ran to his own ostrich horse and swung into the saddle before taking off after the teens. I've come too far now, the Jade Jewel will be mine and no child is going to stop me, he though viciously as he rode off into the distance.
