The Fire Within Us All (Completed)

Chapter Four - Lost and Now Found

Zuko's P.O.V.

I like her so much, but we can't be together. We never can. I'm going to have to leave her soon. Slowly I made my way down into the caves where they were going, and she was with them. I've got to find the bison before they do so she won't see me here.

Going around in all the rooms I finally found the room I needed. "Expecting someone else?" I ask him walking in and grabbing my swords. "You're mine now." Before I could do anything, someone opens the door.

"So, you're the blue spirit. I wonder who could be under that mask." I sigh at him before taking of my mask, "What are you doing here uncle?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing. What do you plan on doing with the Avatar's bison? Keep him locked up in our new apartment, should I go put on a pot of tea for him?" He asks me coming closer. "First I have to get him out of her-" "And then what?! You never think these things through. This is what happened when you captured the Avatar in the North Pole, you had him, and then you had nowhere to go!" Uncle interrupted me. "I would have figured something out." I respond back.

"No! If his friends wouldn't have found you, you would have frozen to death. Is this your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone has pulled over on you. I'm begging you Prince Zuko, it's time to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions. Who are you and what do you want!?" He yells at me from behind causing me to yell out in frustration and throw the swords that and my mask, down to the ground.

Arabella's P.O.V.

"Jet please stop this." I say holding his wrist. He only gets out of my grip and flings his swords at me. Since I didn't have time to get mine out, I took the blow to my arms and crouched down in pain. "I'm afraid he can't do that." Long Feng says from the corner.

"Jet listen to me, you're being controlled. Get out of it!" I scream as Aang blocks the other blows he was trying to give us both. "Jet, I'm your friend look inside your heart." Aang says to him. Jet comes towards Aang panting hard. "He can't make you do anything Jet. You're a freedom fighter remember!?" I yell holding my hands together.

Finally, Jet wakes up and turns around to throw one of his swords at Long Feng, which resulted in him earthbending. "Jet!" I yell out as the dust clears. There on the ground laid the freedom fighter himself. "Aang I'm sorry." Then he looked over at me. "I'm sorry Arabella. About everything." We both give small smiles to each other. "Don't be."

Everyone piled in around Jet, and they knew he wasn't going to make it. "You guys go find Appa. I'll be fine." They argued over it a bit before we ran out the door and out of the corner of my eye, I saw him lurking around going back up to the surface.

Once we got back up to the surface, Dai Li Agents followed us out of the door Toph made us. "Do you think we can outrun them?" Sokka asks us all. "There's no way now." I reply looking forward. In front of us were a lot of Dai Li Agents along with Long Feng.

MoMo came down from the sky and went around Aang gaining his attention. "What is it MoMo?" Aang asks as he goes back into the air, and when he came back down, Appa was right behind him. "Appa!!" Aang yelled with a smile on his face.

Appa went through the wall the earth benders had made knocking them all down. Toph and Aang went to the wall and knocked the five Dai Li Agents off into the water. Once they all ran off, Lug Fang was the only one left. "I can take you on by myself." And before we knew it, he was skipping along the lake like a rock.

"Appa!" Everyone yelled before jumping on him. Me well, I stood off to the side looking at the scene before me. He must mean a lot to them. "Come on, we have to get to the King before he gets back." I say to them as we all climb onto of Appa's neck. They all did a group hug thing and before I know it, I was under Sokka's arm. "You're one of our friends." Friends, I'm from the Fire Nation.
