This is still in Brianna's point of view. Also the scene starts off after Sokka had gone with the Freedom Fighters on an important mission, which was just to rob an innocent old man. The next point of view jumps to the next morning, after Sokka had been kidnapped that previous night.


"Hey look, Sokka's back from the mission" Rebecca said as she leaned back and looked down at Sokka who begin to pack his things.

"Should we go down?" I asked as she took a bite out of her pear. She continued chewing, shrugged her shoulders, and then began walking toward Sokka. "Guess that's a yes." I saw Aang jump down from a higher level then threw, what looked like a black fire cracker, down at Momo. Not happy with the sudden attack, Momo began attacking Aang using more of the crackers from his bag he received from the Duke. Soon after Katara came down from a ladder and walked over toward Sokka, ignoring Aang and Momo completely.

"Hey Sokka, is Jet back?" Katara asked as we made it to the scene.

"Yeah he's back, but we're leaving" Sokka said as he tied a knot on his bag.

"What," Aang said in surprise.

"But I made him this hat," Katara said as she pulled out an ugly looking hat made of leaves and a giant flower from behind her back. I heard Rebecca let out a small chuckle as she eyed the pathetic attempt of a gift.

"Your boyfriend Jet's a thug," Sokka said seriously.

"What, no he's not" Katara said not even bothering to correct him on labeling Jet as her boyfriend.

"He's messed up Katara," Sokka said trying to reason with his little sister.

"I could have told you that," I heard Rebecca mutter under her breath as she put her hands behind her head.

"He's not messed up. He's just got a different way of life. A really fun way of life," Aang said trying to defend Jet.

"He beat and robbed a harmless old man!" Sokka shouted angrily.

"I wanna hear Jet's side of the story," Katara said as she crossed her arms.

"Are you kidding me," Rebecca said in an amused tone making everyone turn to her. "Why would Sokka make something like that up?" she asked crossing her own arms as she raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not saying Sokka's lying," Katara said trying to defend herself "I just..."

"Don't believe him," Rebecca said interrupting her.

"No," Katara said denying it. "There just might be more to it then what Sokka is saying."

"Whatever," she muttered under her breath, not caring anymore. After a few seconds of an awkward silence passed, we all followed Katara to Jet's room. When we got there Katara immediately discussed with Jet what Sokka had told them.

"Sokka, you told them what happened but you didn't mention that the guy was Fire Nation?" Jet asked after hearing Katara explain what her brother had said.

"No, he conveniently left that part out," Katara said glaring at her brother.

"Are you trying to say that all Fire Nation citizens are evil? That their life isn't just as important as ours?" Rebecca asked Katara.

"He was an assassin, Rebecca" Jet said as he pulled out a dagger and he stabbed it into a stump in front of him. Jet twisted the bottom of the weapon, revealing a secret compartment with red liquid inside. "See, there's a compartment for poison in the knife. He was sent to eliminate me, you helped save my life Sokka." Jet said lying through his teeth.

"I knew there was an explanation," Katara said as she gave a sigh of relief.

"I didn't see any knife," Sokka said, not buying his lie for a second.

"That's because he was concealing it," Jet told him.

"See Sokka, I'm sure you just didn't notice the knife," Katara said siding with Jet.

"There was no knife!" Sokka shouted in frustration that his younger sister didn't believe him. "I'm going back to the hut and packing my things," he said as he stomped out of the room.

"Tell me you guys aren't leaving yet. I really need your help," Jet said trying to persuade us not to go.

"What can we do?" Aang asked falling into Jet's trap.

"The Fire Nation is planning on burning down our forest. If you both use water bending to fill the reservoir, we could fight the fires. But if you leave now, they'll destroy the whole valley." Katara and Aang looked at each other before quickly running off to tell Sokka that they weren't leaving. I soon followed them, but halfway there I realized that Rebecca had stayed behind. I got worried so I ran back toward Jet's room. When I got near the door I heard voices from inside.

"I know what you're planning," I heard Rebecca say in a threatening tone.

"Well yeah, didn't I explain it just now?" Jet said trying to be smooth.

"Think what you want, but we both know what you just said was just a bunch of bullshit. Admit it, since you first saw Aang and Katara bend you planned this whole thing out. You were going to deceive them by telling them the Fire Nation is going to burn the forest down when in reality you're the one who's going to be attacking the village."

"I know what all this is about," Jet said in a strangely calm tone. "You're worried that Katara and I are getting a bit close." I felt myself gag, but kept it in so that they couldn't hear me.

"What," Rebecca asked in a dumbfounded voice.

"Hey, you don't have to hide it. I know you've liked me since we first meet."

"Are you blind?" Rebecca asked thinking Jet was stupid, which was understandable.

"What am I wrong?" Jet asked.

"Completely," she said bluntly. She let out another sigh. "What makes you think I would hold special feeling for you?"

"Instinct," Jet said mocking Sokka.

"Sorry, but my heart as never raced for anyone these sixteen year of my life and its not about to just because I see an attractive boy."

"So you admit I'm attractive," Jet said acting cocky.

"You know, I would have been your friend if you weren't so messed up and maybe a little less cocky."

"What do you mean?" Jet asked not following.

"The Fire Nation killed your parents when you were still young and now look at you. On your way to being an adult and you mistreat others because of what Nation they are from, pathetic. Just because you have a grudge against the Fire Nation doesn't mean you can take it out on innocent people. It won't solve anything and it won't bring your parents back. Do you think they would have wanted you to end up like this? Do you really think this will bring them happiness?"

"Enough," Jet screamed as he knocked over the dagger from the stump "Get out!" His whole body was shaking because of both anger and depression. He glared at Rebecca, his eyes like sharp daggers trying to ward her off. I could see small tears forming up in the corner of his eyes. It was obvious Rebecca had hit the nail on the head, but Jet was still confused and was in complete denial. Without saying anything Rebecca left the room. As she came to the door she looked back at Jet who was sitting on his bed looking angrily at the ground. She let out a sigh and looked at him with pitiful eyes. Somehow it seemed as though she could understand what he was going through, but I couldn't be sure. She then turned to me, not shocked to see me standing there, and walked past me.

"Come on," she whispered as she continued to walk up the path. I ran to her side not knowing what to say after the scene I had just witnessed. "Keep your guard up," she said after a long silence. "We don't know what he might do. So keep your eyes open and protect Aang at all cost."

"Sure," I struggled to say since I was at a loss of words. After another long silence I looked back toward Jet's room. "Do you think he'll be okay?" I asked feeling bad for the poor guy. Rebecca didn't say anything and continued to walk up the steps. She then stopped in her tracks as she spotted a falling orange leaf caught in a breeze.

"I hope so," she said in a low whisper as she watched the leaf float to the ground. "I really hope so."

((Rebecca's P.O.V))

"Rebecca, Rebecca wake up" I heard Brianna call my name as she shook me. I lazily opened my left eye as I let out a small groan.

"Yeah," I said in a dull voice as I felt the sun's rays hit my eyes.

"Sokka's missing," she said in a worried voice.

"He must have spotted Jet and his guys leaving to start the plan," I said recalling the scene in my head. "If everything goes the way it's supposed to Sokka should be fine," I said as I got out of bed. "Besides he's a big boy, he can handle people like Smeller Bee and Pipsqueak on his own" I said putting complete faith in our pony-tailed battle strategist.

"Yeah I guess you're right," Brianna said agreeing with me. "This is Sokka we're talking about."

"Don't give him too much credit," I said as I let out a small yawn. "We wouldn't want him getting a big head, like a certain teacher we had last year."

"Mr. Tomato head," Brianna exclaimed as she recalled one of our favorite teachers, who had a very confident personality which we loved to tease him for.

"The Triple M," I said saying his favorite nickname out of several others.

"Ah I miss him," Brianna said with a sigh as she reminisced in our past.

"Yeah, I can imagine you miss him and some others," I said thinking of Brianna's friends and family.

"Don't you miss anyone?" Brianna asked me, surprised that I was talking only about her. I kept silent as I looked out the door and saw Aang running toward us.

"If you mean in my family, then only Alex" I muttered under my breath "everyone else I can live without."

"Morning Rebecca, Brianna" Aang shouted as he ran through the door breaking the awkward tension in the air. "Brianna, you've got to try out the cool rides they got in this place!" Aang shouted, treating Jet's hide out like an amusement park. "Rebecca, you should come too."

"Thanks but I think I'll pass," I said as I rubbed my right eye.

"Oh I forgot it's morning," Aang said remembering that I wasn't active now. "Wait here," Aang suddenly shouted before dashing out of the room leaving a trail of dust in his path.

"How is it he can be so energetic so early in the morning?" I asked as I watched him run off in disbelief.

"Hey don't look at me," Brianna said as she shrugged her shoulders "I don't have any idea either."

"But, it's not a bad thing" I said as I waited for him to come back with a small smile.

"You really care about him don't you?" Brianna asked with a huge grin across her face.

"Do you really need me to answer that?" I asked with a smirk. "With Alex being number one, you and Aang are a close second."

"I'll take it!" Brianna shouted, satisfied with her placement.

"Sorry," I said with a small chuckle "but you know Alex has always been there since the beginning."

"Yeah I know," Brianna said understanding "but what about Gin?"

"Well I guess he's at the same level as Alex."

"Well that makes sense," Brianna said as she nodded her head.

"I'm back," I heard Aang shout as he ran into the room. "Here," he said as he handed me a glass of red liquid.

"Oh thanks," I said as I looked down at the cup "what is it?"

"It's juice," Aang said as he stared at me "I made it myself with fruit from the woods."

"Thanks Aang," I said as I patted the young boy on the head before taking a sip.

"I didn't know you could make juice," Brianna said a bit surprised. I looked over at Brianna as I continued to drink.

"Yeah well Jet taught me how," he answered happily. I chocked on the juice and began coughing out the liquid in my wind pipe.

"Jet helped you make this?" I asked as I looked down suspiciously at the red liquid.

"Yeah, is that a problem?" Aang asked innocently as he looked over at me.

"Let's just say I'm not too fond of the guy," I said honestly.

"Well that was kind of obvious," Aang said as he narrowed his eyes. "You and Sokka should really stop being so suspicious of him. Jet's a cool guy when you get to know him."

"Maybe," I said as I looked out the door and saw Momo fly in. "Looks like that's the signal for breakfast." I noticed Katara come out of her room and walk off to where we had had been having our meals for the past couple of days.

"Alright, I'm starving!" Aang shouted as he ran out the door "I'll meet you guys there."

"You coming," Brianna asked as she began walking out the door, but stopped to turn to me.

"No thanks," I said as I pointed down to the cup. "Aang didn't do such a good job on this. I feel kind of sick."

"Oh you okay?" Brianna asked worried.

"Yeah, just an upset stomach no need to worry so much."

"Alright, I'll just save some food for you later," Brianna said as she left the room toward where the crowd of hungry children went. When I knew she was clear out of the area I dropped to the floor as I placed a hand on my neck. It was as if my throat was on fire, which burned whenever I swallowed any saliva. I gasped for air which caused it to hurt more.

"Jet, he put the poison he showed us yesterday into the drink," Gin struggled to say as he too felt my pain.

"I'm sorry," I whispered as I began coughing "I should have been more careful." I couldn't talk anymore for my whole neck was now burning. I could feel the poison slowly taking over my body. I bit my lip trying to distract my pain. I heard the sound of footsteps walking toward the door. I struggled to pick my head up, but I managed to force my body to roll over and was able to see a pair of shoes in front of me.

"Look at that the strong and powerful protector, defeated by mere poison" I heard the sound of Jet's voice say as he pulled me up by my hair. "I can't have you and Sokka both getting in my way now can I?" Jet asked with a smirk. I could see hate and darkness in his eyes which must have taken over him, causing him to turn into this monster. "It's a shame too," he said as he watched me struggle to breathe "you and I could have been great partners. We could have rid the world of the Fire Nation and bring peace."

"That would never bring peace," I said as I felt my throat burn more, but I refused to stop in mid-sentence. "Despite what you think we need the Fire Nation."

"What, are you on their side now?" Jet asked angrily. I could feel my body cry out in pain asking me to stop, but I refused.

"I'm only trying to bring balance. I'm on no one's side." Jet's whole face changed from being amused to enrage. He clenched his teeth as he glared down at me. He couldn't contain his anger anymore.

"You Traitor!" He pulled my hair up then grabbed my head as he shoved it to a wall. I let out a small cry but forced it in because the pain was too unbearable if I screamed. I could feel blood trickling down my cheek onto Jet's wrist.

"No," I stammered as I felt my tears building up from both pity and pain "you're the traitor."

"I told you to shut up!" he screamed out again he said as he grabbed me by my collar. I could see he was on the verge of tears, taking in my words again.

"Jet," I whispered his name trying to sooth him.

"Shut up," he screamed as he threw me to the ground. I let out another small cry as my back hit the floor. My whole body had become more sensitive due to the poison. "Why," Jet asked as he hovered over me "why won't you just be quiet?" He lifted up his right foot and kicked me across the face. I felt myself come in contact with the wall then drop to the floor. My whole body was now filled with deadly flames and was burning me more from the inside. I clung to my body, hoping it would comfort me, but the sudden movement caused me more pain. I couldn't hold my tears in anymore as I just let them fall. My salty tears combined with the crimson puddle of blood that came from my wounded head. I heard Jet step closer as he looked down at me, completely emotionless. The image of him began to haze as my body began to shut down, due to all the pain and blood lose. My eyes were drooping without my permission and I couldn't fight back, I was too weak.

"Jet, stop" I managed to whisper before I had lost complete control over my body. Just as my eyes were about to close I got a glimpse of his face. For just a mere second I saw an emotion from his eyes which I had been trying to get him to understand for the last couple of days, regret, but that changed in a blink of an eye. My mind must have been completely out of whack because Jet's eyes suddenly looked to be glowing red. The sight was terrifying but I didn't last long enough for me to be scared. That was the last thing I saw before my body shut down, leaving me complete vulnerable.


Hopefully for those of you who actually liked Jet, I didn't ruin his character for you. I didn't intend to make him a dis-likable kind of guy but it was necessary for my plot. Although I tried to get his character down and tried to show there is good in him.

Somewhere...deep...deep...DEEEEEEEEEP...REALLY DEEP down in the pit of evil...where his heart should be...(for those of you who HADN'T guessed yet, I really don't like him anymore, I used to, but not anymore...GRAWR!)
