"You're staying behind."
"What do you mean that I'm staying behind? I'm going in there with you." You tried to walk past her but she created a box of rock around your body. Sometimes you hated how Toph took advantage of the fact that you weren't a bender. "Are you serious?! Aang! Take this down."
"You take it down Aang and the Fire Lord will be the least of your worries."
Aang was already afraid of Toph, he wasn't about to find out what furious Toph would do.
"I'm sorry, (y/n). Please take care of Appa and Momo."
"We'll be right back."
You screamed at the three of them as they rushed inside the volcano. Momo and Appa just stared at you while you struggled to get out of the box. It isn't until minutes later that the box disappears.
"I don't care what she said. I'm going in there. The two of you, stay out of trouble."

The maze in the volcano was difficult to travel through but you were grateful of Sokka's loud voice that you could follow. After the trek, you finally join them just as they began to fight.
"Toph!"
Toph concentration is lost for a second and that's all that Azula needs to gain the upper hand. With the help of the Dai Li Agents, the three of them rush out of the room while Aang, Sokka and Toph recovered from the attack.
"I told you to stay behind!"
"You can't expect me to stay behind!"
Toph was about to yell at you but Aang cut her off.
"We're going to lose them! Lets go!"
Toph attempted to make another box of rock but you're quick to jump away. You join the three of them as they chase Azula and the Dai Lee agents. It doesn't take long for the four of you to catch up to them. Toph quickly takes care of the agents.
"Impressive. I see your little friend decided to join us."
"That's enough. She's clearly just wasting our time. Lets go."
Azula rolls her eyes at his accusations.
"Waste your time? That's ridiculous. Why would I waste your time?"
"Whatever. We're done with you."
Sokka starts to walk back and the three of you join him.
"But I'm not done with your friend!" Azula's fire had returned and she was able to surprise you with a quick lighting attack. All of you fall to the ground with a cry of pain. "I'd like to know her."
Out of nowhere, the Dai Li agents return to her side. Azula points them to you and one of them throws you over their shoulder.
"Stop! She has n..nothing to do with this."
Toph said through gritted teeth. The pain of the electricity was unbearable and she could hardly speak, much less move.
"Oh, really? How odd. Then why is she here."
She gives Toph a smile and turns her back to them to return to the temple. The three of them remained on the ground until eventually the effect of the electricity went away. By the time the effect of the electricity had left, you had passed out from the toll it took on your body.

You woke up to find yourself starring at an actual ceiling. For the past year, you had been traveling with your sister and her friends. For the most part, you slept in the open fields. You sit up and look around to get a better idea of where you are. As your eyes roam around the room, you let out a quiet gasp when you spot a familiar armor in a mannequin.
"Ah you're awake."
The Fire Nation princess comes out of what you assume is the bathroom while combing her hair.
"W..what do you want from me?"
"From you?" She moves to take a seat at her dresser. While combing her hair, she looks at you through the mirror to keep an eye on you. There was nothing you could use a weapon but she still wanted to be cautious. "Nothing for now. I simply just want you to keep me company."
She doesn't seem to care as you get up and make your way to the door. You attempt to open it but it won't budge.
"Please! Let me go!"
Azula stood up and made her way over to you. She let her sharp nail trail your cheek and then gripped your chin tightly.
"I just got you, darling. I'm never letting you go."

Everyone tried to calm down Toph from her rampage but she wasn't listening. The temple that they were hiding in was in near ruins from the damage she was causing.
"Toph, please. We'll get her back. We need to form a plan and then...."
"And what Katara? The three of us are going to storm to the Fire Nation, take down their entire army, the Fire Lord, and the princess? I told her to stay behind! Why couldn't she listen!?"
Katara, Aang and Sokka just looked at each other while Toph continued to curse at everything.
