A Love Like This 2 Child's Play
Chapter 4 Trapped
Nya Pov
We walked into the village just as Kan realized where we were. He sputtered and complained, but Azros and I just kept walking. Azros walked ahead of us the fearless leader. I could smell the different odors coming off the carts of the street vendors. We walked through the village trying to out hardest not to stick out. This market wasn't to different than the ones I went to with momma and daddy.
I followed Azros, wondering why I didn't see any soldier or fights going on. Maybe our fathers had stopped the rebellion by now. I kept an eye out for our fathers just incase they saw us, I really didn't want to get in trouble today. I stopped at a stand that sold pretty jewelry. I saw a necklace that looked a lot like Azros's mom's necklace. This one had a white band and the stone had the colors and symbols of all the four elements. "Wow, that is so pretty." I said pointing it out.
"That one cost a pretty penny, young miss." The salesman said smiling softly at me, he reminded me of General Iroh.
"How much is it?" Azros said coming up behind me
"It is five gold pieces." the sales man said
"I'll take it." "Azros! No it to much money." He waved away my words and paid the man. He took the necklace in hand and placed it around my neck. I released my long brown hair and looked down at the little stone, it looked so pretty. We waved good bye to the kind old man and we continued walking. We turned to go down to the docks and see if the new racing boats where there. Then I looked at Azros, "Where did you get the money to pay for this?"
"My dad gives me a gold coin once a week if I keep my grades up, I was saving up to buy a wolfcat cub, but I really wanted you to have that necklace." He said making me blush.
"But how does your dad have the money to give you that much a week?" I asked
"Prince, remember?" He said thumping his chest with his fist.
"A prince are you?" A dirty looking man said, then turned to his friend and continued, "Hey Chang looks like little princey and his friends wandered to far from the palace."
The guy called Chang turned to us, "bet the lord would pay a pretty penny to get his baby boy back." he said as he reached a filthy hand out towards Azros.
"Don't you touch him, or I will get my dad to come and get you. He is the Avatar." I said with out thinking, Kan stood behind me his face frozen with fear.
"Well even better we got the little princey and the avatar's baby girl." he said laying a hand on my shoulder, Azros shot a flame at him and we all took off. Azros led us through the market as fast as he could, but those goons were hot on our tale. I yelled "HELP DADDY!" as we ran through the street.
Azros led us down an alley way and that's when we saw it was a dead end we stood our backs against the wall. The men took a step forward, and Azros stepped up and said, " Roooaarr" Flames shooting out of his mouth and hands, I only have seen my dad and uncle Zuko do that once before, I stared at it in awe.
"Nice display kid, come on try it again." The Chang guy said.
"ROOAAARRR" rang through the alley louder and brighter you could feel the heat, but Azros had not done any thing. Then my dad landed on the ground in front of us. I peered behind the men and saw Zuko and Sokka coming behind them a flame in Uncle Zuko's hands and a sword in Uncle Sokka's. The men froze and fell to the ground at Zuko's feet. They were actually kissing the ground and saying their apologies. Zuko just glared down at them, he kind of scared me. Then Zuko waved his hand forward, and a group of guards came into the alley way and took the men away. All of us kids just hung out heads as our fathers came and stared down at us. We were in big trouble.
