Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Sorry for taking forever to update again. So much going on and everything. Also I didn't know Zhao was promoted to Admiral. I'm not going to change it in the last chapter, but I'll call him Admiral Zhao from now on.

Chapter 4

"What do you mean When I first came here?" asked Aang.

"I wasn't born here. When I was eight waterbenders raided my town and I was taken prisoner," replies Sydeny. Her hands then start to glow red, but no one notices.

"I don't believe it. Why would they raid allies?" says Katara thinking out loud.

"Hey, wait a minute! Who are you?" asks Sokka who just realized they don't know Sydeny's name.

"My name's Sydeny. I was wondering when one of you would ask."

"You're a waterbender aren't you?" Katara asks Sydeny.

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

"Aang and I want to learn how to waterbend."

"Are you waterbenders?"

"Katara is. I'm the Avatar," says Aang proudly.

"Aang!" Katara and Sokka say together.

"It's alright. I could tell by his airbender tattoos that he's the Avatar," says Sydeny trying to calm them down. "And I'd be honored to teach the Avatar… and Katara."

"Thanks!" says Aang putting a huge smile on his face.

"Then it's settled. You all can stay here if you want. I'm going to see if Zhao is conscience yet. Stay here 'til I get back," Sydeny says climbing up the latter.

"I don't trust her," Sokka says folding his arms and sitting on a pillow once Sydeny had closed the door behind her.

"You don't trust anyone," Katara says in a matter-of-fact voice.

"But she's different. She said her town was raided by waterbenders when she was eight and yet she's a waterbender. The only place waterbenders would raid is the Fire Nation. She's probably a Fire Nation spy and is turning Aang into Zhao right now," says Sokka.

"But Sokka she can waterbend. If she's from the fire nation, how can she waterbend?" asked Aang.

"Yeah, Sokka. Explain that!" Katara ordered her brother.

"I don't know. There must be an explanation somewhere."

To Sydeny

She came out of her hiding spot, closed the trap door and covered it back up with snow. As she got closer to where Zhao and his soldiers are she heard voices. Holy shit! They're awake! thought Sydeny.

"Admiral Zhao, we can't find the Avatar or your daughter anywhere. It's as if they vanished," says one of Zhao soldiers.

"Are you sure they didn't leave?" asked Zhao.

"Well…no," says the same soldier.

"They must have there's no other place they could've gone to. Round up the men and get back on the ship. We're leaving," says Zhao as he walks back to his ship.

"Yes, sir. Right away," says the soldier. A couple of minutes later Zhao and his men were on the ship and sailing away from the North Pole. Once they were out of sight, Sydeny went back to the hideout.

"They're gone," says Sydeny when she reached the bottom of the latter.

"Great! Now we don't have to worry about Zhao," says Sokka with a smile on his face.

"True, but we still have to worry about Zuko," says Katara worriedly.

"Zuko? As in Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation?" asks Sydeny absolutely stunned. Why would Zuko be after the Avatar? thought Sydeny.

"Why's Zuko after Aang?" Sydeny asks no one in particular.

"I think he said something about restoring his honor, but I'm not positive," says Katara thinking back to when they got the waterbending scroll.

"Whatever. We'll start lessons tomorrow. Now go to sleep, you'll need it," says Sydeny laying down on her futon and falling asleep instantly.

Sokka goes over to the trap door and lifts it up, "But it's still light out." And sure enough light was pouring into the room.

"Sokka, it's summer here. It's light out 24/7," Katara explains to her brother.

"Oh, right."

"Let's just listen to Sydeny and go to sleep," says Aang.

Thanks for reading! Oh, I was wondering if anyone thinks I should post the Seto Kaiba story I'm writing. Message me with your answer. Okay? I really want to know what you think. Thanks.
