I followed Zuko through this maze he called a tunnel. It has felt like we have been walking for hours. Left then right then another left a couple minutes later.

'What next stairs?' As soon as the thought passed my head some stairs came into view. 

"Ce que l'enfer" I whispered as I started to walk up the stairs.

"what was that?" Zuko asked.

"nothing." I said quickly. "Are we close?" I asked as I kept walking up the stairs. 'How high do these stairs go?'

"We are almost there." Zuko said as he stopped in front of me. I almost ran into his back.

"what is it?" I asked. He was going through his pockets.

"trying to find the key." He said as he pulled out this tiny key that looked like it would be of better use to hold up my hair then to open a door.

Zuko bent down and started to feel the door. Finally he let out a puff of frustration and lit his palm on fire. 

"Why didn't you do that before?" I asked as I put my hands on my hips.

"because it's dark outside. I don't want anyone to see the door." He said as he slid the key into the keyhole and pushed open the door.

i closed my eyes as I felt a rush of fresh air. It was so soothing. It was as if just the breeze would renew my strength. 

I opened my eyes again when I felt Zuko pulling me out the door. I was met with the moon shining down on me. It was barely a new moon. We had been walking a entire night and day. I had lost track of time in that dark tunnel.

I was so happy that we were out now.

i looked over to Zuko to see him walking to another tree. We had come out in a forest. I looked back at the door to see it was part of a rock. Whoever made these tunnels went a long way to keep them hidden.

"Katara?" I was pulled out of my thought by Zuko.

"hmmmn?" I asked.

"here. Put these clothes on and then this cloak." He said as he handed me some clothes.

I turned my back to Zuko as I pealed off the black skin tight suit. I looked over my shoulder to see Zuko's back as he worked to get undressed,

I looked at the clothes he had given me. There was a big light red shirt with a dark maroon belt and then some maroon leggings to go with it. I pulled them on quickly and then put on the dark cloak. 

By the time I was down Zuko was stuffing his stuff into a pack he had brought along.

"are you ready to go?" Zuko asked as he stood and looked to me. He offered me a slight smile and extended his hand for mine.

i graciously took his offered hand as I gave a small smile. "Let's do this."

we walked for a few minutes till we came to a village. It was small. It only had a few huts here and there. As we walked by Zuko put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close. 

He obviously wasn't comfortable in this village. 

We kept walking till the sun started to come up. 

"Zuko" I puffed out. I was exhausted. "We need to stop and get some sleep." I said as I sat down. "We can move again tonight."

he he nodded as he sat down next to me. "We should be there in the next day or two." He said as he pulled out some water and offered it to me.

"thank you." I said as I took the water and drank greedily. "Where are we going?" Zuko hadn't said anything about where we were going. I was getting really annoyed at him avoiding the question.

"you will see, it is a white lotus camp." He said as I gave back the water. "Come let's sleep." He said as he put out one sleeping bag. "I could only get one so I hope you don't mind sharing." He asked me.

"I actually much prefer it now," I said as I laid down with him. I rested my head on his chest and slowly drifted off into the world of sleep.

i woke up just as the sun was setting. I looked over at Katara to see she was still asleep. I bent down and gave her a kiss to wake her up.

"Katara, it's time to leave again." I whispered in her ear.

she started to wake up. "What time is it?" She asked. 

"Probably around 8." I said as I started to roll up the sleeping bag. I stuffed it into the bag as I pulled out some food. I tossed some jerky to Katara. "we aren't that far." I said as I ate some jerky.

"well let's get going." Katara said as she started to walk but stopped. "Which way?" She asked.

"this way." I said as I picked up the bag and started walking in the opposite way.

we walked in silence for the entire night and most part of the day. 

The sun was about to set when we got to where we were going. 

I stuck out my arms and said. "Welcome to camp de rebelles."

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

i looked at Zuko. "This is it?" My jaw was practically hanging down. There were so many huts and men walking around.

some wore fire nation and earth kingdom colors. But the ones that stuck out were the one wearing the southern water tribe colors and symbols on there clothes. I was in awestruck. So many people from different nations living together. how?

"KATARA!!!!!" I heard my name from a voice I thought I'd never hear again. I started to cry as I saw the person come towards me.

"Sokka?" I whispered.
