Sorry for not updating. I had a lot of things going on. Besides I had major writer's block. On and if something's in italics and in parentheses, that means that's me putting in my own little side comments.

Chapter 3

As we all know Aang, Katara, and Sokka are headed for the North Pole. Zuko's following them and Zhao once in a while follows Zuko. Well, today it's different. Zhao and his men have just arrived at the North Pole. And guess what, Aang isn't there yet. So Zuko isn't either. "Search the place! Someone must know where he is," commands Zhao to his men, "I'm not waiting all day!" After a couple hours Aang isn't found. (Big fat DUH! there.)

"Sir, we can't find the avatar," says one of Zhao's soldiers.

"Then check the tents or whatever it is these peasants live in," commands Zhao, now starting to get impatient.

"We've tried that already, sir. No one has seenan avatar here since Avatar Roku," explains the frightened soldier.

"That can't be possible. We couldn't have beaten him here," says Zhao to himself. Even though everyone can hear him.

"Sir, we found someone that might interest you," says another one of Zhao soldiers.

"If it's not the avatar, I'm not interested!" exclaims Zhao.

"But sir, we believe it's your daughter," says the second soldier.

"Oh, really. Being her here!"

"Right behind you." Zhao turns around to find a young woman about the age of sixteen wearing Water Nation clothing. She has long black hair and glaring, cold, brown eyes.

"Oh please. My daughter would never wear blue. What do you take me for? An idiot?" screams Zhao to his troops.

"Never judge a book by its cover," says the young woman. After stating this, she goes to punch Zhao, but instead comes out a ball of fire.

"Well, well, well. You idiots actually did something right for once. Lock her in the dungeons!" says Zhao evilly.

"What? You can't do that father!" says Zhao's daughter, trying to get out of the grip two soldiers have on her.

"Oh, I can. And I will, Sydeny," Zhao says right in Sydeny's face.

"Oh no. You don't." Aang, Katara, and Sokka have finally arrived. Aang comes down off of Appa and knocks out Zhao. Giving Sydeny the chance she needs to escape her captures. Seeing that Sydeny has escaped all of Zhao's soldiers start fighting. While everyone is occupied in the rumble, Sydeny leads Aang, Katara, and Sokka away from the fight and to her home. It's really more like a hiding spot.

"Thanks for saving me," says Sydeny to the gang. (You know who I mean.)

"It was no problem. Where are you taking us?" asks Aang.

"Yeah. And how do we know we can trust you?" asks Sokka rudely.

"That's for me to know and you to find out," says Sydeny simply. She then stops walking and looks at the ground. Then she moves the snow from one section of the ground using water bending. Reveled from under the snow is a metal trap door. She lifts it up manually and climbs down into the chamber. Once at the bottom she calls, "Aren't cha coming?" Aang, Katara, and Sokka climb down in that order into the chamber below.

"Wow," Aang, Katara, and Sokka say in unison. The chamber turns out to be a huge steel room. Kind of like the ones on fire navy ships, except bigger. The room is lit with candles all around. In one corner is a futon with blankets and pillows. In another corner is a box of scrolls. And in the center of the room are cushions or pillows to sit on. And the most amazing quality of the room is… it's really warm for being made of steel in ice. The walls aren't even the slightest bit of cold.

"Is this where you live?" asks Katara.

Sydeny answers, "Yupe."

"How'd you build this?" asks Sokka. Who is really amazed.

"I didn't. I found it when I first came here."
