So, this is in the finale (I believe) where Sokka and Toph are basically holding on for dear life to the fire nation floating ship thing. I really wanted to write something about this, because I felt so freaking BAD for Toph, and you'll see why when you read this. I don't know if it came out that good. This is my first Avatar fic! ^ ^

Sokka's hand was warm and wholly uncomforting in hers, as they dangled from the ship.
After all this, after all the effort she was going to die here. She had given so much of herself into this battle and war, and she would never see the end of it. She would never know if these filthy firebenders met justice, justice SHE should be serving them. Sokka was nervous, his heartbeat and sweating palm the only thing she had in this void of hanging in between life and death. She clung to him desperately, wishing she could speak.
"Sokka," she would say, "it's been real fun teasing you. I wish I had more time...I wish you knew you're like my brother...maybe you already do."
But her throat was closed up as the tears squeezed out, shamefully, as he said goodbye. Said, boomerang wasn't coming back. And so neither would they.
How cruel, that she would die this way.
Falling, far away from her beloved solid ground. And growing closer, that earth which had been her friend would be her murderer. She tried not to think of hitting rock for the last time.
She would release his hand, and then there would be nothing but wind in her ears. No vibrations, telling her where she should place her feet, where her friends were standing perfectly close by, where her next attack would hit.
Completely and totally blind.
She'd never been more blind than in this moment, never felt more handicapped. At least, the world could have let her embrace Aang once more.
How cruel.
And then they let go.
And she hit much faster than anticipated, and she was gloriously alive. Able to fight and help Aang, wherever he was, which didn't matter because now she had time to go find him and be ALIVE with him.
Crap, she had cried.
O.o
I guess that's all...
