Zuko's Baby Sister

Chapter Seven

"Elaina?" One of the travelers called. I sighed. It was a bunch of gypsies/dancers who work for the fire nation. I met them a few days ago. They said they were off to a camp of fire nation soldiers who had been trying to colonize this earth kingdom and it was in the north direction so I followed.

"Yes, Makila?"

"You look so pretty in the new outfit, but that burn.."

"Don't talk about my burn."

"Sorry, it's just you should tell us how you got it."

"I was training with my brother and I turned away for a moment and when I turned back there wasn't a chance to block it." I lied.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I shrugged.

"Okay girls! We have to walk the rest of the way! Our carriages won't all fit so only one is going!" I sighed. Everyone here was a non bender. Besides me obviously but I didn't try to fight them.

We all loaded off and began toward the camp. I wasn't dancing with them I just was staying with them until I could find the Gaang.

    "Okay, okay, I get it. Look guys, I'm tired too. But the important thing is that we're safe from the Fire ... Nation." I bumped into Aang just as Sokka says that. I guess I wondered off but big plus I found my Avatar. His eyes widened.

"Ardema?" I nodded. And looked to the fire nation camp that the gypsies were now at. They turned and saw me and smiled. Until I held up a white flame.

"If you let us pass, we promise not to hurt you." I said strongly. A soldier with an eye patch steps up and looks at my flame.

"Princess." Then he was knocked out. I growled out in pain as a little kid kicked me in my burn. Aang stood over me as he fought until all the soldiers were knocked out.

"Why are you guarding the fire nation Princess?"

"Because she's my friend." Aang said to the stranger, while helping me up. Aang's arms quickly went around my waist. The strangers give me a look of hatred then the strangers leader walked up.

"My name is Jet, and these are my Freedom Fighters, Sneers, Longshot, Smellerbee, The Duke, and Pipsqueak."

    "Ha, ha, Pipsqueak, that's a funny name." Aang said moving away from me The Duke sniffs his nose.

    "You think my name is funny?" Pipsqueak said looming over Aang in a threatening manner.

    "It's hilarious!" Aangs then knocked to the ground I help him up and noticed Jet look at me strangely.

"So Princess? What should we call you? Dirt? Nah you're to pretty to be called that?" I blushed as he came and looked down at me.

"Ardema is fine." I said with a smile. "Next time we fight fire nation with you, don't kick me in my burn." I said looking at The Duke. Jet stepped closer and put his hand on my chin, moving my face to his. I blushed.

"Ardema. To bad you're fire nation." He whispered the last part. Our faces were so close, his straw tickled my cheek. I felt Aang pull me away.

"She's also mine." My face flushed and I turned and looked up to Aang confused but he didn't look down at me.

"Anyway, Jet this is Aang, Sokka and Katara!" I said he nodded and then Momo landed on my shoulder. "And Momo that's Appa!" He turned to where I was pointing to see our bison. Then we set off to they're hideout.
