Alright here's the next chapter. So far i'm doing pretty good with organizing it. I actually think this is goign to be my longest story.

Um this is a pretty short chapter but well you'll see why i cut it where i did

Zuko stopped again and cursed at himself. The others could have been back on Appa already, and as much as the ex-prince wouldn't admit; he was lost.

Zuko practically dropped himself on to the tree, relived with the momentary feeling of not having to carry his own weight. As quickly as he stopped he got up again. Zuko looked down at the gash on his chest. Okay, so he probably should have stayed on Appa.

Getting an idea, Zuko tested one of the thick branches within reach. Seeing it was good for his intentions Zuko snapped it off. Using the branch like a cane he continued towards the cave he assumed Katara brought them too.

From the footprints in the sand, it was more than Katara though. What he didn't understand is why they were here. For a brief second he considered the consequences of Aang not defeating his father, but he assured himself the worst had yet to happen.

Zuko winced again as the pain shot back through his limbs. He felt his knees drop from under him and quickly grabbed the branch to keep him in an upright position.

After a moment he steadily got back up. "Okay" Zuko said to himself. "I'm just gonna go back to Appa and wait for the others. This was a bad idea"

Following his own advise he turned around. He didn't get far though. Within a few moments the searing pain was worse then ever and he was back to leaning on a tree, taking shallow breaths.

The others looked around. "It seems pretty safe" Sokka said

"I don't know" Toph said "I can't see to well in the sand but I have this weird feeling we're not alone."

"Not alone how?" Katara asked worriedly.

Suddenly there was a loud buzzing. "Hey I remember that buzzing" Sokka pointed out

"Oh no" Aang said just as dozens of buzzard-wasps flew out of the cave.

They stood there for a second until Sokka brought them back to reality and they began running towards the shore. Katara panted, trying to keep up with Aang. "Where are we going?" she asked

"It's this way" Sokka instructed pointing.

"No it's not" Aang argued.

"We're lost?" Suki asked.

"No" Sokka and Aang exclaimed while the girls protested a "Yes"

"Well this is marvelous" Toph stated angrily. She pulled them behind a bush to talk. Though the first few moments was everyone catching their breath.

"Okay. I see so many things wrong right now it's not even funny" Toph whisper-yelled.

"So what do we do?" Suki asked nervously.

The sound of their buzzing was getting closer. Sokka panicked. "I'm sure we can sneak away"

"Uh I don't think so. Those things have really good scent. It's already got us as targets" Katara pointer out. She heard about the buzzard-wasps before. They're poison was fatal or nearly so, and caused severe excruciating pain for weeks before a slow painful death. In other words, getting stung by one of those, was a slow painful hell.

Toph seemed to consider their options. "So unless there is something else living on this island that they would have an easier time catching, we're the target"

"Yup. And those things usually don't go for small pray" Aang pointed out

"Small as in kid small. Or small as in animal?" Suki asked, her hand mindlessly linking with Sokka's.

"No it likes people of any size and large animals. Toph can you tell if there is anything to distract it with?" Aang asked

"Um well if we made it to the water and jumped in then wouldn't it loose our scent?" Sokka asked

"Or we can do what we did with that assassin girls thing" Katara said, relieved.

"Do you see any perfume?" Sokka asked angrily. Katara slumped back and mumbled something about how she was trying to help.

"Guys" Toph said softly. "It found a new target"

Alright i wanted too leave it there. I guess you get the idea where this is going.

For those of you who don't know whats going on in my evil mind, wait and see.
