Chapter 14:A not so surprising attack

"UGH!! This is So boring!!" Toph complained

"Toph, its for the best. You know my sister and Mai. They're dangerous." Zuko said.

"But we're not weaklings!! You're sister went crazy anyway didn't she? We could take them! It would be 6 against 2! Plus a fully realized avatar! And every other element plus a warrior and a swords master!" She argued.

"Toph, I know we probably could take them but considering what happened to Katara with Mai and what almost happened with Katara and Azula I won't take any more chances." Zuko held me close when he said

"What happened to Katara and Mai." I hugged him, squeezing him tight.

Toph sighed, "I guess your right…she did almost kill Aang…"

She too, hugged Aang, not tightly but somewhat did, thinking of the past. He glanced at me, seeing if there was any jealousy in my eyes, but there wasn't.

I loved Zuko, I felt a little bad though. But he found someone else too. That was good I suppose.

We sat in an awkward silence until we heard frantic footsteps approaching. A sage bowed at Zuko, "

Sir, Azula and Mai are here! Its just what we expected, Azula wants the thrown and Mai wants revenge. What shall we do?"

"Send out the imperial fire benders, our best fighters. Take them out throw them into the most highly secured prison in the world. Make sure we never have to see them." The sage bowed again and hurried away.

I hugged Zuko tighter and curled up against him. He held me tight. Sokka and Suki did the same. Aang and Toph didn't. They weren't that comfortable yet.

We all stayed quite. Listening, waiting. Toph kept her feet on the floor feeling for any suspicious vibrations. Then, we heard fire blasts, men yelling, "Stop them!! Shoot them down!! NOW!!!"

My heart pounded. Oh no. what if they couldn't stop Mai and Azula? What if we went safe.

"Don't worry hun, we'll be safe." Zuko said.

"Did I say all of that out loud?" I asked stupidly.

"Yes." Someone said. I didn't pay attention. Suddenly Toph flinched making me flinch too.

"What is it?!" I asked, worried.

"Two people, headed for the front palace doors…no one is coming after them. Oh god why?…" dead silence.

"…EVERYBODY GET READY FOR A FIGHT!!"

We all freaked, panicked, Sokka got his sword, Suki took a fighting stance as Aang did.

Toph got into her horse stance, Zuko got ready to block some blue fire in front of all of us and I bended water from the kitchen sink nearby.

We stood in silence and then suddenly the doors burst open and a wave of blue fire headed towards us. With a yell Zuko jumped in front and blocked the entire flame away.

When I cleared stood Azula and Mai. Azula looked 10 times crazier than before. She had no red lips, her hair was worse looked like she tried to shave it but it didn't work so her hair was all messed up and really short.

Mai was in blacks shorts and a black tank top and black boots, loaded with daggers. She had ones around her arms, her legs, her thighs (for the larger ones she would have to get out and throw)what seemed to be everywhere then I had a spring of hope.

Toph was right, no matter how powerful the two were we still the avatar, the fire lord, the best earth/metal bender in the world, a sword master and a warrior and a master water bender (me), we could still take them.

Suddenly I felt confident and ready to kill some bitches.

A/N yeah, yeah, yeah, i know. Katara swore but you don't know what goes through their heads! and just because it was a nickelodeon show doesn't mean she can't think bad words!! R&R!!!
