I'm Still Standing- Book 1: Water

Jet

Jet : Up Dated Verison

Kya
I bend over and pick up my sleeping bag . I really not ready to pack up camp and leave . We only just stopped flying late last night . I'm still so tried .

I walk over to Appa and hand my sleeping bag up to Aang .

"Uh ,uh. No flying this time," Sokka objects coming up from behind me and taking my sleeping bag .

"What? Why wouldn't we fly ?" Aang asks confused from Appa . I'm wondering the same thing .

"Think about it :Somehow Prince Zuko and the Fire Nation keep finding us . It's because they spot Appa ,he's just to noticeable," Sokka explains putting my sleeping bag down .

A shiver runs down my spine . Why did his name effect me so much ? When Zuko grabbed me and tried pulling me to his ship I thought that was the end . Me and Katara are the last waterbenders of the Southern Water Tribe . If something happens to me she would be the only one left . Oh ! I can't think about this ! Sokka has a point .

"What?Appa's not too noticeable !" Katara fights .

"He's a gigantic fluffy monster with an arrow on his head ! It's kind of hard to miss him !" Sokka yells waving his long skinny arms around .

"Sokka's just jealous cause he doesn't have an arrow," Aang says happily while petting Appa's head . I chuckle to myself .

"I know you all want to fly , but my instincts tell me we should play it safe and this time walk," Sokka says somewhat wisely .I roll my eyes and put my hands on my hips .

"So who killed me and made you the boss ?" I grin .

"No one killed you .I'm just the leader," Sokka answers crossing his arms over his chest .I start to laugh .

"You the leader ?But your voice still cracks!" I chuckle.

"I'm the oldest guy , and I'm the warrior so I'm the leader ! " Sokka yells as his voice cracks .

I prove my point but I'll let him win .It isn't worth fighting .Sokka needs to grow up sometime and if being the so called leader of our group would help him then he can go ahead .

"Okay ,we'll try it your way , oh wise leader," I say sarcastically as I grab my sleeping bag and tie it to my back .

"Who knows ? Walking might be fun," Aang says cheerfully .I roll my eyes .Whatever .

My feet ache! We've been walking for over two hours !

"Walking stinks ! How do people go anywhere without a flying bison ?" Aang complains .I growl .

"Well I don't know ,Aang .Why don't we ask Sokka's instincts? They seem to know everything ?" I yell sarcastically as we walk .

"Ha, ha very funny," Sokka answers with sarcasm in his voice .

"I'm tried of carrying this pack !" Aang complains again .I roll my eyes and scowl .

"You know who you should ask to carry it for a while ? Sokka's instinct," Katara joins in .Sokka looks back at me annoyed .

"That's a great idea .Hey ,Sokka's instincts, would you mind ..." Aang says cheerfully before Sokka cuts him off.

"Okay ,okay .I get it .Look guys ,I'm tired too .But the important thing is that we're safe from the .......Fire...Nation l-" Sokka says walking through a bush but then suddenly stops .

Why did he stop ? I look ahead .It's a Fire Nation camp full of soldiers staring right at us ! I freeze .What are we going to do ?

"Run ! " Sokka yells as we all drop our packs . We try running back into the forest but the soldiers blast the trees around us .All of us turn back around and get into fighting positions .Soldiers surround us .We're trapped!
