Escape

Azula's POV

Metal walls surrounded me. If I release electricity through these walls, I'd be fried before I can even make a crack. The technique can only work on smaller things. But I always have a plan.

Fire benders have always been too impulsive, and unprecisive, like the fire. But I, I am the only one like lightning. Precise and deadly.

For this phase, I must thank Zuzu and that blind dirt girl. Their techniques proves to be extra handy in getting me familiar with this place, these... as they call, technology. I sensed the electricity humming under the thick layer of metal. I felt the heat radiating from the man as he checked on the security of the prison. My trademark grin once again tugged against my lips. My body moved into the familiar fire bending stance. Focusing my chi on a short distance away from the man, I let out a punch. I felt intense heat erupting from nowhere in that hallway. The heat from the man quickly faded in the distance. Good.

I destroyed all the lights in this cell. After a while, a person opened the thick previously invisible metal door. Soundlessly, I dove at him and closed my fingers around his throat, digging my long nails into the flesh. I released my fingers, and heart the soft thump as he hit the floor, alike the doll Iroh once gave me. Sadly, I cannot experience the glee of watching this doll burn, as it will attract unneeded attention. I climbed on the ceiling effortlessly through endless hallway, keeping an eye on the endless number of people running below me. I laughed quietly at their foolishness. They are really not worth my time. I jumped through many traps, mixed in with the thousands of shadows, used my ability to sense electricity to hack through endless codes.

Stepping into the open, I welcomed the fresh air, the taste of freedom. Now that water peasant, Zuzu and friends are going to pay for what they did to me.


Riko's POV

Back to square one. I looked across my desk at the mountain of homework that I fished out of my bag. Except that this time, I found countless pictures of Toph on it. Honestly? I cannot remember drawing them. But that happens a lot when I am thinking hard on something.

Groaning in frustration, I slammed my pen onto the table and stalked over to the other end of the house, silently cursing under my breath about the number of lectures I'm going to receive tomorrow.

After calming myself down, my brain wandered off to all that happened today. Toph said that she could feel seismic vibrations. And how the heck can she see were Sokka is when chasing him? Is she even human? Questions flooded my mind as to who the teenagers were. Ugh, this is giving me a headache.

Shaking my head, I abandoned that train of thought. Once again, Toph invaded my mind. Should I ask her out? Maybe I should... How should I ask her out? To where? Unknowingly, I slowly drifted off into a slumber, the image of Toph imprinted in my mind, a silly smile pasted on my face.

Author's note: Actually, to be honest, this story is inspired by a dream. Though my dream version include a lot more random stuff like being able to tread in air like how people tread water and stuff and a really stinky piece of purple banana. Weird stuff. Now I'm trying to make it seem more realistic, so yeah... I've already decided most of what is going to happen later on, and I'm gonna update frequently. Thanks for bearing with my rambling until now if you're reading this. This time the chapter is short, sorry! Remember, if you like, review!
