Chapter 4

Episode 2, The Avatar Returns

As I was running, I thought about the worst scenarios that could happen, but I dismissed that thought and concentrated on running faster. In the distance I could see the village and the Fire Navy Ship halfway in it. When I got nearer, I could make out the villagers all standing in front of the ship. When I arrived in the village, I stood behind the crowd and saw Sokka lying there covered in snow. Oh no, I hope he's not injured.

"Where are you hiding him?" someone asked. I only noticed him now, he was standing in front of Katara and Gran-gran, but his voice sounded so young like he was about one or two years older than me. The boy looked around and when no one answered his question he grabbed Gran-gran and held her on the collar of her jacket, "He'd be about this age, master of all elements." He explained to us. He's looking for Aang but still nobody knows what he is talking about. Ughh, why are they so stupid. When, again, no one answered he pushed Gran-gran into Katara's arms. The boy looked angry and he shot fire in our direction, "I know you're hiding him." He yelled. I wanted to step forward but Sokka beat me to it. He grabbed his weapon and ran up at the stranger to attack him. Unfortunately, my brother doesn't know that you shouldn't yell when you try to do a sneak attack so the boy dodged his attack and Sokka landed on the floor in front of the village. I rolled my eyes and face palmed.

Sokka quickly turned around and threw his boomerang at the boy but he was fast enough to duck. "Show no fear." A cute little boy from Sokka's warrior training threw his spear to Sokka. He caught it and tried to attack the fire boy again. He broke the spear with Sokka's every attempt to stab him and used the last part of the spear to hit Sokka on the head three times. My brother fell on the ground but luckily the boomerang came back without the strange boy noticing. It hit him in the head and he got furious. Fire came out of his hands and he was ready to attack or to kill Sokka. I quickly made my way through the crowd and I made it on time. The boy shot fire at Sokka, though I couldn't push Sokka out of the way anymore, I shot my own blue fire out of my fist to stop his orange flame from hitting Sokka. His flame collided with my flame and it actually worked, the flames disappeared and Sokka or the others weren't harmed. All the villagers gasped and the boy looked confused. I only realized now what I have done: I revealed my fire bending not only to the entire village but also to a part of the Fire Navy. Way to go, great.

"You're a traitor to the Fire Nation." the boy exclaimed. What? A traitor? He's insane, but before he or anyone else could say anything, Aang showed up on a penguin and hit the boy with it. He flew in the air, his helmet falling from his head in the process, and fell back on the ground with a thud. I had to cover my mouth with a hand to prevent a laugh from escaping my lips. The children cheered when they saw Aang, and he stopped in front of us getting up from the penguin's back.

"Hey guys." Aang greeted us like nothing happened. "Hey Aang, thanks for coming." Sokka greeted back. Meanwhile the strange boy stood up from the ground and wow, he was hot. He had a scar on the left side of his face, it was going over his eye to his ear and it looked like he was burned. But in my opinion the scar made him even more attractive. His eyes were of a golden colour and he had a ponytail. Okay, he definitely should change his hairstyle but the rest is perfect. I shook my head to dismiss that thought. I can't think about his sexiness when he is about to kill us. At least it is my destiny to die of the hands of a very handsome guy. Okay, I need to stop thinking about this and start concentrating.

He motioned for the other Fire Navy people to surround Aang. Luckily, I was fast enough to take a step back. Aang used his glider to air bend the snow onto the enemies and stop them from attacking him. Scar face looked up balled his fists and the snow all over him melted.

"Looking for me?" Aang asked. "You're the air bender? You're the Avatar?" the scarred boy asked sceptically and everyone gasped. "I've spent years preparing for this encounter, training, meditating. You're just a child." Yeah, way to state the obvious. "Well, you're just a teenager." Aang responded raising his eyebrows. I had to chuckle at his statement. The scarred boy didn't like that and attacked Aang by punching fire at him. Aang tried to avoid getting hit with swinging his glider.
