As the sun feel and the moon rose, everyone laid down and dosed off, falling asleep to the sound of their crackling fire that kept them warm.
Iskra's eyes scanned her friends, making sure each of them were asleep before she quietly stood up and walked away, hoping to find a private place.
As she walked into the forest she felt footsteps behind her. Turning around she saw Katara grabbing the waterbending scroll and sneaking off.
Iskra stifled a laugh before realising what Katara was intending to do, so she followed her. Katara ran down to the waterfront, setting up the scroll and practising the movements.
"Come on!" Katara groaned when she failed.
She was being too loud, someone could find her and so Iskra stepped forward, standing in front of Katara and she gasped in surprise before lowering her head in shame.
"I know," Katara sighs, leaving the scroll with Iskra as she walked into the forest and back to the others.
Iskra grabbed the scroll and began to follow her when she felt a ship land on the beach. She crouched down, peaking through a near by bush and seeing a fire nation ship. Her breath stuttered.
Iskra stumbled back, desperately getting to her knees, then her feet and then attempting to run but she was stopped by a pirates broad chest. He tried to grab her but she threw a boulder at the side of his head and he collapsed to the ground.
She looked back at him briefly as she ran away again, this time being stopped by the last person she expected. He grabbed her wrists, holding them tightly so she couldn't bend.
"I'll save you from the," Zuko pauses, looking over her face "Pirates."
Iskra's breath quickened as her eyes widened. She quickly closed them in hopes he wouldn't recognise her by such a distinctive feature.
"Open your eyes," Zukos grip tightened.
She opened her eyes with fury, nostrils flaring as her eyebrows scrunched together. She looked like an angry bull, ready to strike at any moment.
Zuko stepped towards her as she stepped back and they continued that until her back pressed against a nearby tree. Reaming eye contact, Zuko leaned forward, moving her hands behind the tree and tying them with rope he had on hand.
He stepped around to the back of the tree, still holding her hands firmly. Zuko leaned forward, his breath brushing past her ear as he whispered.
"I suggest you don't try and earthbend out of this situation or I'll reveal to your friends who you truly are," Zuko let go of her hands. "Iskra."
She gasped, turning her head to face him with wide eyes. He looked down at her, smirk adorned on his usually upset face as he looked between her eyes. They're faces were too close, their noses practically touching.
Zuko kept his eyes on hers as he reached into his pocket, pulling out her bracelet and holding it in front of her face.
"You shouldn't lose something so valuable," He clicked his tongue, shaking his head.
