Ch 14 unknown attacker

Olivier watched as the kids swam in a lake they had discovered. Sure they needed some quick R&R, but they needed to move on their objective. The capital city.

Olivier wearily watched as the group enjoyed themselves. It didn't seem like anyone could see them, but you never knew.

"Aang, cover your tattoos." Toph said.

"Why, no-one can see us." Aang said.

"We're in the fire nation, you idiot. You don't cover that tattoos, I'll skin you until the tats are gone." Olivier threatened.

She watched as Aang fell down a water cave. She knew he'd be okay, being a water bender. Grabbing Sokka' sword, she practiced with it for a minute. Satisfied, she headed back to the kids as Aang came back.

That night, Olivier woke up to the sound of a large explosion. She woke up and pulled out her sword. She walked forward, and saw someone standing on a ledge. A quick flash of light and another explosion occurred, destroying the rock defense Aang and Toph erected.

Alchemy? She thought, then dread horror filled her as she considered that possibility.

Watching the unknown fire at them again, she figured it wasn't an Alchemist, but an unusual fire bender.

"Everyone, get on Appa. I'll distract him!" Aang said.

With everyone on Appa, they watched as Aang air bended himself on the bison.

"Well that was random." Toph said.

"No. I get the feeling that guys knew who we were. How else did he find us?" Katara asked.

Olivier calmed her breathing and looked down from Appa. She half expected the unknown attacker to shoot down Appa.

Olivier also wondered how'd they get caught. They carefully covered their tracks, and now… She remembered that Aang didn't have his tattoos covered.

"You're an idiot, you know that?" Olivier asked.

"What?" Aang asked.

"I'm done trying to protect you. I'm done putting my life on the line trying to defend you. I'll fight to end this war, but that's it. If you're in a fight and you call for my help, don't expect it. How all of you survived the war for this long, I will never know." Olivier growled, glaring at the kids, like a parent deeply disappointed with their children.
