A/N: well, the second chapter is up! Thanks to everyone who read and/or reviewed.
I DO NOT OWN AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER
" What do you want from us?" I demanded. He remained silent and came closer. I cringed when he pulled out his broadswords. He had an unfair advantage over us. I tried to shift, but whatever they gave me was still in effect. The strange figure came closer towards The Avatar. He swung his swords in a flourish and cut the hand cuffs off of The Avatar. So he was on our side. Maybe. He gave me a sideways glance then cut me out too. I looked at him in confusion as he beckoned me to follow him. I did, but slowly. The Avatar hurriedly ran with the masked man. I wasn't going to take any chances. I took part of my chopped handcuff and brandished it like a weapon. There wasn't a lot of guards around, so it was simply the matter of getting far enough away without them realizing.
" THE AVATAR AND THE CAT GIRL HAVE ESCAPED!" I heard a man yell. Too late for that. I ran as fast as I could.
" Miyuki! We've found an exit!" the Avatar yelled. I swung around to meet his eyes. He was gesturing to a large gate. Every guard was surrounding it.
" Um, are you sure that's our best option?" I asked.
" It's our only option. Now hurry!" The Avatar told me. I sighed and followed him. The Blue Spirit and the young Airbender ran towards the exit. I followed them and they used ladders to evade the soldiers. I followed them and hit soldiers with my handcuff along the way. They didn't make it and fell. I got on all fours and crawled quickly to them.
" What do we do now?" I asked them. The Blue Spirit looked at me and drew his swords out. He put them to The Avatar's throat. It was just getting harder to tell who's side he was on. I hid behind them as the Blue Spirit backed away. Zhao didn't want the Avatar dead. Smart. I grinned to myself but my pleasure was soon ended by an arrow directed at the Blue Spirit. He fell back and the Avatar created a fog.
" Come on! We need to hurry!" I told him.
" One second! I need to know who this is!" he exclaimed. I rolled my eyes. Curiosity killed the cat. We needed to go. The Avatar gasped and backed off.
" Oh, come on!" I complained and put the Blue Spirit or whatever it was on my back. We ran out of sight.
" This guy has been hunting me down since I returned," The Avatar said, not wanting to believe that his enemy was his hero.
" Hey, what was your name?" I asked him.
" Aang. It was nice to meet an actual shapeshifter. I've only heard about them in legends, yet I always knew they were real," He said in awe.
" And it was nice to meet the Avatar," I bowed.
" Please call me Aang," he said awkwardly. Then he started talking to the sleeping figure in the pit.
" I was friends with someone in the Fire Nation once. You know, before the war. Do you think that if the circumstances were different, we could of been friends too?" Aang asked innocently. The figure woke up and shot fireballs at him. Aang flew into the trees.
" Who are you and why did you free us?"I demanded.
" I need the Avatar to regain my honor," he blurted. It seemed that he said this a lot.
" Sure, but why did you free me?" I asked again.
" Um, you looked innocent?" he said awkwardly. I sighed.
" That's a mistake people often make," I said, lowering my voice.
" But, you're so small," he argued.
" How old are you?" I asked. He looked caught off guard.
" Fifteen," he said simply. I nodded.
" Me too," I told him.
" Why would Zhao want to capture a fifteen year old girl?" he said, obviously confused.
" I'm the second most wanted person in the Fire Nation. Ugh, why am I telling you this?" I blurted, then chided myself.
" Why are you so wanted?" he asked.
" Why are you so curious?" I returned. He glared at me, then got up.
" You're not worth my time," he grumbled.
" And you're not worth mine," I shot back. I ran off towards the greenhouse.
" Miyuki! It's been all night!" mother chided.
" It feels like longer. Oh, and I need a special blend of herbs," I told her tiredly.
" What for?" mother said worriedly.
" Um, well... some soldiers kinda gave me a shot that made me unable to shift," I confessed.
" Miyuki! What did you do?" she asked.
" I helped the Avatar, nothing more, nothing less," I said with a bored tone.
" I'll go get that blend ready. You rest," she ordered.
" Don't have to tell me twice," I grumbled as I jumped into my bed. I instantly fell asleep.
Zuko's P.O.V:
Was that a dream? I couldn't have just met a girl with that...coloring. Only Airbenders had grey eyes. And pale skin belonged to the Fire Nation. The brown hair, however could be found in any kingdom. She was confusing. And why was she so wanted? I'll just ask Uncle.
