Chapter 2

My Final Goodbye

Was it Appa, thought Toph.

Her suspition were conferm when she heard a large roar, very heavy vibration and the angry voice yell the same line. It was defintily Appa. Toph turn and walked up the stair to the large warehouse.

Toph faced the door and knocked very loudly. No answer. Her patient was running very thin. She knocked again and again till she felt and hear footsteps. The door open to a young adult man with black beady eyes and black spiky hair with a straw hat.

He was wearing a dirty white shirt and mud covered black pants. He had a whip in one hand and a key in the other. He looked down at the small blind girl. Toph could feel the vibration of this man's heartbeat and breathing. He was both scared and mad.

"What do you want?" asked the man roughly.

"Where. Is. Appa!?" asked Toph angrly.

"Appa? Appa who? Never here of him," said the man closing the door, but Toph held it open.

"I mean the flying bison." said Toph.

"B...b..b..bison?" studdered the man, now filled with fear, "What bison?"

"I can feel you shaking and you just yelled the word 'bison' a few seconds ago." said Toph

"Sorry, no bison here," studded the man.

Toph lost her patient at that moment, she slammed her feet into the ground causing a large slab of earth to destroy the door. The man fell backwords onto the floor as the earth crumbed the door into thin pieces of wood. The earth slab fell back into the ground and Toph marched up to him and pulled the shaking man by his collor. Anger was in her eyes.

"Either tell me where the bison is or I'll make sure that I'm the last person you'll see in your life!"

"OK! OK!," screamed the man, "He's in the basement, there."

Toph turn to face the double-door that was five times the size of a plytupus-bear, where she believe Appa was being held captive. She droped the man onto the floor and walked over to the door. Toph ripped the door off it's hinges and walked inside the basement. She feeled the vibration of something big. Something really big.

"Appa?"

A loud grunt/roar answered her call. She raced down the stairs till she bumped into something furry. It was a huge furry something. Toph took a few steps back.

"Appa, is that you?"

Another grunt/roar was heard in the same direction. A large smile appeared on Toph's face. She once again hugged the giant animal, tears running down her face. She quickly dryed her tears before they stained her face. She turns to the doorway from where she came.

"HEY!"

The man crawed to the doorway, "Y..yes?"

"Now, go the avatar and return the bison to him, OR ELSE!" screamed Toph.

"Y..y..y..y..yes,"

"You better! NOW GO!"

"YES MADME," yelled the man running down the steps.

He untied the chains that held Appa and lead him into the streets (Don't ask how), and lead him down the streets quietly. Luckly, Toph came alone with them to make Appa quiet and to make sure he took him to Appa. She also made sure that it wasn't a trick and lead him to the Dai Li. After about two hours of walking they reach about a block away from the mansion where the Aang, Katara and Sokka were staying.

"Go take the bison to them, tell them that 'Toph Bei Fong has left them, forever'."

"O..ok m..miss..Bei Fong."

"Oh, and one more thing. Don't ever call me Miss Bei Fong. It's stupid"

Toph turn around and ran to the underground stone train from where they came from in the begining. She ran till she ran, ignoring the the rain that began to fall again. Toph started to sing a melody, a sad one. One that she had made up when she was a child. The special one that described her life.

Toph had decide, she was going to leave. Leave Ba Sing Se. Leave Aang, Katara and Sokka. Aang would just have to find another earth-bending teacher. Maybe one that sweeter, kinder, had patience and probably much more prettier then herself. But it didn't matter to her. Because now, Toph is long gone.
