Chapter Two

Toph's POV

I could sense his steady, calm heart beat as I walked to its rhythm. He followed me about a few meters behind me watching my movements from behind the trees. It was starting to rain so I enjoyed it while its drops fell softly against the hard earth. While the earth showed vividly for my eyes only in this vast world of darkness.

I slowly danced to the rhythm of the rain drops falling to the earth as the pace of rain shed sped up. I spun like a child having fun while their father and mother watched with a smile on their faces; proud of there "perfect" child. With that I stopped to thinking how my own parents thought of me.

"heh…", I laughed sadly, "Perfect… I'm anything but perfect in my family's eyes." I cringed at my own thought knowing that they'd never think of me as perfect. I could feel hot tears streak down my cheeks. Without me knowing it my world went dark.

Zuko's POV

The plan, capture one of the Avatar's allies. Take them back to camp to get information out of them/use them as a trap to lure the avatar into coming with me without a fight. The only problem was, I'll have to wait until one wonders to far from the group.

He spots Toph leaving for the camp site on her way to her home.

"There's my target", I said to myself.

But what he didn't know was why she left the safety of the group.

From behind the trees and bushes along the path she was following I watched her briskly walk in a strait line. for some reason unknown why but as I watched her I could feel my heart beat going hand in hand with the rhythm of her steps. I t shrugged the thought off when my mind started to wonder. She in her tracks when she came to an open field filled with knee high grass. I became mesmerized by just watching her.

The way she started to twirl in the middle of the softly falling rain that started to come down. It felt life she was dancing to the flow of her life making her the center of attention. One that seamed to shine all on her own. Then the shine vanished leaving only darkness in her stage. I flashed back to reality when she stopped dancing taking me out of my dream state.

She just stood there in a daze of looming darkness, so I took the chance. I swiftly came up behind her and knocked her out. Before she fell completely to the ground I caught her and placed her on the ground lightly. I took the rope out and bound her hands and feet. I placed her over my shoulder and started walking in the direction of camp.

The quietness let my mind wonder onto what had just happened. My mind asked ,"Why where you mesmerized by her?"

But I could not answer my own thought fore I, myself, didn't now why. It kept repeating but I never could answer.

...End of Chapter Two...
