The only characters I own are the ocs all the others go to the credit of the creator of avatar the last air bender. And a great thanks to my sister daughterofthesea. We are co writing this story. Thanks.
Never again. That's what I told myself. Never again would I listen to Sokka's advice. Never again would I follow a map given to me by an old guru. Never again would I think that my life was normal. Never again. Why am I telling you all this. Well I guess I should start from the beginning. My name is Teresa and this is my story.
I was born in the southern water tribe to Hakoda and Kya. I am 10 years old. I am the avatar. I have never left the water tribe for even a minute, until today. My mom and dad finally agreed to let me go with Katara and Sokka to Ba Sing Se! The only reason they said yes was because Katara and Sokka have been there. The trip to Ba Sing Se would be almost 2 months by canoe from the water tribe so for this trip Katara called in a favor.
She went to are desk and scribed a letter to the fire nation. At first I thought she was kidding, then I remembered the only person she has feelings for from the fire nation is Zuko. He's also the only one that has feelings for her in the fire nation. They visited the fire nation with dad a while back. Dad had to travel to the fire nation to talk with the fire lord about war plans. You see we are at war with the air nation who is trying to take over the world. I don't get why the air nation is trying to take over the world, they always seemed like peaceful people to me. I've learned about the last avatar many times, she felt that nobody should be killed and she was an air bender. So I guess it depends on who's in charge.
The next few days were boring because we had to wait for the letter to get to Zuko.
One week later
The ship was here, Zuko had taken no hesitation and from the look on his face he was very happy to see Katara. I looked at Katara and she was smiling too. Mom came over and gave me her water tribe bracelet and Katara her necklace. Dad went over to Sokka and gave him a new knife. I was already to go, I was ready to learn earth bending I was ready to complete my water bending training on the boat. I was ready. Clearly no one else was! Zuko was helping Katara put on her new necklace, mom and dad are crying , and Sokka was slashing around the knife and knocking over the snowman I had made earlier.
"Oh come on, let's go already!" I said
There was a silence and nobody moved. Oh man, I thought to myself, I've done it again.
"I very sorry,"I said trying to fix what I'd said, "it's just that I'd never left the tribe. I've been dreaming of this day since Katara, Sokka and dad came back from Ba Sing Se, and well it's always been my dream to be like my brother and sister."
Zuko nodded and walked toward the ship. I could see the look on his face he was jealous, but why of me. It's not like I'm special. All my life I've been watched every move I make, never have I felt free. Zuko has been to Ba Sing Se and Omashu with his dad many times and to fire nation fairs with his mom since he was three and Azula is an awesome little sister. He has the best life and he doesn't even know it. He shouldn't be jealous of me!
Only an hour had past, but being like any ten year old I was board. I was messing around and well let's just say I got a hot head wet. That's not such a good thing if Zuko is on the docks with General Iroh. I started to run away when the soldier blew the first blast. I ran up and down and finally bended snow on the soldier and knocked him down. I ran over and took of the mask, and it was not a soldier at all it was Azula. She had no intention on hitting me, but rather used this opportunity to show me she was on the ship. She had been waiting in that suit all day for me to get bored and hit someone with water. Gladly it was her. Never had I felt so relived, I thought I was going to die. But I was also glad to see one of my best friends. When dad had gone to the fire nation Azula had snuck on the ship where we met for the first time. She stayed for two weeks till dad had to go back again. It was the most awesome thing I'd ever done. We went penguin sledding, canoeing and we messed with the other seven year old boys seeing as we were seven too.
And I haven't seen her since then, but at least I know she's allowed to leave the palace and I barley ever went to the water temple and when I did I was on constant watch by the tribes best soldiers (as if the monks are going to do something to me). We jumped off the boat and ran over to Zuko, from the look on his face he was not happy again.
"Zuzu!" Azula said
"Azula" Zuko yelled, "What are you doing here? And I told you not to call me that!"
"Calm down Zuko it's not like Mom doesn't know. She's the one that told me to go. I asked her where you were going when you left to prepare the ship and when I heard about Katara I knew I would see Teresa to. Oh please don't make me go back! Please Zuzu."
"Fine but don't get in the way of her training. She needs to learn earth bending then fire then air."
"Ok, I promise Zuzu….. I mean Zuko."
Then as soon as we came we were gone again. When we got back on the ship we skipped, jumped and cart wheeled until we couldn't stand straight. After that General Iroh took us to the spare room then gave us some tea to drink and paper to write a letter to our parents. Then I stood and bowed to him.
"Thank you General the tea is very tasty and the paper is much appreciated. Thank you." I said
"You're manners are very nice and I appreciate them….…oh and you can call me Uncle."
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter hopefully through feedback I can think of more Ideas for later chapters if you have any suggestions please pm me. Thank you.
