Escaping Oasis

Disclaimer: Zutara still hasn't happened, so...

AN: Okay, so, I made a few changes to the first chapter, because when I set it up, I didn't do it right, and there was a few typos. I also got rid of some of the AN's, so…. Enjoy!

Zuko's POZ

He grabbed the avatar and the girl, and turned towards the trail at the back of the cavern, across the lake. He quickly swam towards it with both the girl and the avatar on his back. Why were they so damn heavy!? at the top off the trail, though, there was a waterfall . "Whoa!" he thought. He had planned to just climb the trail, but it ended. He could swim up the waterfall, but even on his own, that would have been an incredible feat.

The voices from behind the door where getting louder.

Just then, Zuko had an epiphany, and decided he would burn little handholds in the ice wall and climb up, but he would also do that behind the fall to keep them hidden. Not many people would have the strength to pull something like that off, but after rigorous training every day for hours on end, Zuko knew he could do it.

He had to be quick.

He quickly pressed his hand onto the wall behind the waterfall. In less than half a second, he had a small crevice. He did this again, and again, until he was about halfway up, and the water bender started to slip. He let go of a handhold to grab her hand. That was close.

He continued on his journey up the water fall, and then reached up to find there was no more wall. He pulled himself over the top, collapsing on the ground as the door to the spirit oasis opened, and someone called out.

He recognized the voice of the waterbender's brother, but couldn't make out what he was saying. Probably calling to the waterbender and the avatar, wondering where they had gone. Zuko scoffed to himself, "what an idiot", he said under his breath. He turned around, to see where he had to go next.

His eyes widened at the sight before him. This was going to be a long, cold journey.

AN: Again, short chapter. I don't know how other people wright so much at one time, but sorry! Hope you liked it!
