2/2

I cannot believe this.
I can't believe Meelo.
I can't believe Ikki- ugh, I can't believe this!

I understand why Ikki was upset, but she still got us into this mess, along with Meelo and Jinora. None of them are innocent! I have siblings myself. I know I'm not the middle child, Bolin is, but I can understand Ikki's frustrations. Meelo is really annoying and cocky, and his attitude can be so frustrating! And even though I love Jinora with all my heart, she can be a bit of a know-it-all, and sometimes she can come across as arrogant. She is the first master airbender in a generation, so I get it.

"Alright little airbender and earthbending girl, tell us what you're doing in the Earth Empire. Are you spying?" One of the men ask sweetly.

I'm not sure what their names are, and I'm too annoyed to care at the moment, so I'll just call them Thing One and Thing Two. How dare they kidnap us and then try to manipulate us into giving them info!

"No! I swear we're not a spies. We've been traveling with my brother and sister. It's our first big mission, and my dad, Tenzin, is counting on us. But if we don't find the Avatar, he's gonna be really disappointed."

"Ikki," I whine. "Why would you tell them that?"

"Can I talk to you?" Thing One asks Thing Two.

They walk to the other side of the room, and can I just say that they are terrible at whispering!

"These girls are Tenzin's kids, and they're looking for the Avatar. Do you know what that means?"

"No, but try this macaroon!"

"Get that out of my face!" Thing One shouts and frustratingly knocks the macaroon out of Thing Two's hand. "Look, if we capture these three airbender kids and bring them to Kuvira, I bet we get a big-time promotion."

The hairs on my neck immediately stand up. There is no way that I am letting them take Tenzin's kids to Kuvira, and there is no way I am getting kidnapped again! Mako would throw a fit. I look at Ikki. I know exactly what we have to do.

"Ikki," I whisper slowly so our captors can't hear. "I need you to trust me, and don't panic. We are in big trouble, but there's something you can do to help us. I need you to put on that famous charm of yours and distract them. We cannot let them contact Kuvira. If they do, you and your siblings will be in danger, and we'll never find Korra. I just want you to do it long enough for Jinora finds us. I'm sure she's realized by now we're gone and will find us soon."

"Hmm, ok!" She says innocently.

The two men walk back over to us with obvious fake grins plastered on their faces. We have to distract them long enough for Jinora to get here, so let the games begin.

"Sorry, little ladies, it looks like we got off on the wrong foot. So, you're out here with your brother and sister, where's your campsite?" He asks Ikki.

"Why do you want to know?" I ask.

"We just wanna get the family back together again. Maybe we can sit everybody down and have a nice plate of macaroons."

He grabs a plate of pastries and puts it in front of us. I think I know where our food that Meelo threw out went.

"Where did you get those?" Ikki asks.

"I found a whole sack of food down by the river! And with each delicious snack, comes a lovely hand-written note. This one says: 'You're my handsome little man.' That is so touching!" Thing Two says.

"My mom wrote those notes! That's our sack of food!" Ikki says.

"Enough with the cute notes! Where are your brother and sister?" Thing One yells.
