Chapter 3
Disappear Without A Trace
"TOPH, TOPH!"
Katara was running all through the town looking for Toph. Toph had just earth-bend the three girls into the river. Then she moved the water sending them down the river. She turn to face Toph to give her the thumbs up (even thought she couldn't see), but when she turn around Toph had disapper. And the worst part was that it started to rain.
"TOPH, TOPH, GOD TOPH WHERE ARE YOU!?"
She had been walking for about two hour around town in the rain. She kept shouting her name and asking people if they seen her but each answer was no. The sun had set and it was dark. Katara was scared, not for herself but for Toph. She wanted to keep going but decide to get Sokka and Aang to help her look for Toph. Katara started ran the other way to the small manson that they were staying in. She used her waterbending to stop the rain from getting herself wet. Once she was there she burst through the door.
"Aang! Sokka!"
"Hey Katara," said Aang, "Sorry about the dirt, I just let go of thousands of animals! Cool, right."
"Glad you had fun," said Sokka bitterly, "I was thrown out of a building into the mud."
"Guys," answer Katara breathless, "Toph's missing!"
Aang frozen and turn to Katara, "WHAT!"
Was a sudden knock on the door. Katara quickly ran to the door hoping tit was Toph ok. She open the door to find a man covered in dirt and cuts like he was in a earthquake.
"Excuse me, is the avatar here," asked the shaking man.
"Thats me!" said Aang.
"I think this belongs to you," the man pointed outside.
Aang, Katara and Sokka where confused. The walk outside with the dirty man. They heard a loud roar from the shadow. Aang took a few steps closer to the large shadow untill he could see the animal in full view. He yelled in joy and happiness.
"APPA!!"
Aang jumped up to Appa and hugged his head. Appa had a big smile on his face, and licked Katara, Sokka and Momo who was on top of Sokka's head. Even though they were glad to see Appa again, Sokka and Katara were grossed out by Appa's slobber. After Katara wiped the slobber from her face with her sleeve she turn to the man.
"Thank you for bring our bison back," she said kindly.
"Yes well...Yourwelcomewellbye," said the man quickly.
"Wait a minute!" shouted Sokka, grabing the man, "How did you know that was our bison? How did you know where we were? Who told you this? TALK!"
"Okay! OKAY!" screamed the man, "A little barefoot blind girl came and destroy my door and threated me to take the bison to you and then she left."
"Left?" asked Katara, frighted, "What do you mean left?"
"I mean she left Ba Sing Se," answered the man, "She toward the station and left. You might not get to her in time. She went to the underground city train. It was the last one."
Sokka dropped the man and turn to Aang and Katara. They, too, had solom faces. Tears stinged Katara's eyes as too Aang's. They couldn't believe what happen. Toph left them. For good.
