A Love Like This Part 2

Chapter 8 On the trail

Azros Pov

"Nya?" I whispered, not wanting to wake the sleeping guard just outside my cell, finding a little pebble on the bottom of my cell i threw it in the direction of Nya's cell, "Nya!"

"What?" She said in a grumpy tone

"Relax!" I said back at her, "I just wanted to make sure you were still awake"

"Well I am now" She grumbled quietly

"We need to figure out how to get out of here!" I hissed at her

"No really?" She sounded a lot like Aunt Toph right now, "I miss my mom" her tone a lot sadder

"Don't worry Nya, I will get us out" I said grabbing the pin that held my headpiece in place. Reaching through the bars, I began to pick at the lock, the only thing Uncle Sokka taught me that came in handy. I could feel the lock starting to budge, and I was felt a spark of hope.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" the guard yelled grabbing my wrist and squeezing it

"Hey let go creep!" I yelled trying to shake off his grip "Your hurting me"

All of a sudden his tight hold was gone, and he was on his butt on the floor, "What did I say about not harming the children!" a voice barked. Then from the shadows, Ozai emerged, with Azula right behind him. "You idiot, if i see you lay a hand on my grandson again I will kill you!"

I felt confused for a minute, was he rescuing Nya and me. "It's good to see you again, Azros. Who is your little friend here?" Ozai asked eyeing Nya

"The name's Nya" Nya barked for herself, not showing Ozai her fear.

"Right the Avatar's daughter" He said with a smirk, "Who would have guessed Azula, your nephew would have the Avatar's daughter as his little girlfriend"

"Yes father, very interesting" She said smirking evilly at me, I shot a glare back at her

"She is not my girlfriend!" I growled

"No of course not, you both are far to young" Ozai said keeping the smirk on his face

"Why are we here, Ozai?" Nya spoke up, cutting to the chase

"Oh Well, You see my dear, the both of you are crucial to my plans." He explains, "How else was I going to get my son and the Avatar to meet me face to face?"

"What do you want with our dads?" I yelled

"To get back my kingdom of course!" He said, "You see your father and the Avatar stole it from me, and I just want it back."

"So if dad gives you back to kingdom, You would let us all go?" I asked, "No one will get hurt?"

"more or less" He said smirking at Azula

"You're a liar!" Nya spoke up, "You want to get our dads here so you can kill them, you want revenge"

"Oh so you aren't as Nieve at I thought" Azula said eyeing Nya

"Watch it chic, my mom is gonna bury you in stone when she finds out!" Nya barked back at her not backing down

"But what do you want with us?" I said cutting off Azula and Nya's little fight.

"Once my useless son and the avatar are dead, I can raise you to be the proper heir I always wanted. While that mutt can get thrown in a cell to rot with her mother." He said gesturing to Nya

"And what if I don't want to be your heir"

"Then you get to watch your mother and sister die as well." Azula said eyeing her sharp finger nails.

"Well we better leave him to make his decision Azula, I think it's time for dinner." He said turning towards the door

"YOUR PLAN WON'T WORK OZAI, OUR DAD'S WILL DESTROY YOU!" Nya yelled at his back before he slammed the door. "dont listen to him Azros, When your dad finds us, Ozai will be hawk food."

I didn't believe her, Ozai had the ambush on my Dad. I knew how skilled my father was, but still Ozai had troops and crazy Azula. I had to find a way to escape that was the only way, without me Oza couldn't pull off his plan.

Katara's Pov

Staring down at the docked ships, I allowed my eyes to flick from one to another looking for any clues. Zuko was down on the ground watching the people who were occupying the docks this late at night. I hid on a roof top, the light of the moon, my only means of light.

Every muscle in my body posed to spring up and take down anyone who look suspicious. I was not leaving this dock until I found something that would lead me to my son.

"Coo coo" I heard from a place below me, with slow fluid motions I slip down onto the street. Beside Zuko once more, he pointed to a man with a moon shaped scar over his right eye. The man was almost Zuko's height, but he was not as broad shouldered. He wore a black vest, and on his right arm he had a blood red lotus tattoo. That was all I needed, and I began to stalk the man. Zuko disappeared into the shadows behind the man. While I stalked him from the side, We followed him until he came to a deserted road.

"I like your tattoo" I said speaking up first, I saw him stop and look all around him, "Oh don't be afraid, I just wanted to admire it"

I stepped out of the shadows, and I saw the fear slip from his eyes, "well that is perfectly fine pretty lady"

I took hold of his wrist and held his arm in the moon light to look closer at it, "Very lovely, It's a red lotus right?" I looked at the tattoo alittle closer and the flower matched the one on the armband we found, "So tell me do you get joy out of kidnapping children?" I said twisting his arm behind his back and pinning him to the wall

He was stronger than me so he easily got out of the hold. I reached for my watersake, but before I could fight him Zuko decided to step in. Once again the guy was pinned against the wall, this time not getting loss.

"I believe she asked you a question, and if I were you I would answer." He growled in his raspy voice

"Hey I don't know nothing about taking kids" He said swallowing hard

"That's funny because some men were seen taking a boy and a girl to a ship today. One of them looked kinda like you." I hissed at him

"I'm being honest, I don't know anything about a kidnapping." He said

"Then tell me, what boat the red lotus society sails on" Zuko growled twisting the guys arm more

The man cried out in pain, "Alright, it's the one at the end of the dock. It's a small boat, mainly wooden, big white sails, the name is Pheonix."

"You have been a great help" I said before Zuko knocked him out with the butt of his dao swords. Without a word, I turned and started to move towards the end of the dock, with Zuko on my heals.
