A/N: Hey guys! White here. Hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving this past Thursday with your families! In honor of this great holiday and for all my fans, I'm happy to give you this awesome new story. It however is quite dark in nature, so for those who don't care for character torture and other dark elements, kindly avoid this! I thank my dear broski Aaerial15 on for being my partner in crime for this crazy story! It's an Avatar one, but it's far more twisted than the show you all know and love. Enjoy it though guys!

"With all due respect, Miss Beifong, your parents would like to see you," a servant said. Toph noted the fear in his voice. By now, the entire household had heard of her display of earth bending. The Avatar had just left, and Toph knew he might not return. She felt a knot in her throat as she followed the servant to the grand hall of the Beifong estate.

Lao looked at his daughter with gentle regard, wanting her to speak first.

Toph cleared her throat. "Dad, I know it's probably hard for you to see me this way, but the obedient, helpless little blind girl that you think I am just isn't me. I love fighting. I love being an earth bender, and I'm really, really good at it. I know I've kept my life secret from you, but you were keeping me secret from the whole world. You were doing it to protect me. But I'm 12 years old and I've never had a real friend. So now that you see who I really am, I hope it doesn't change the way you feel about me." She turned her head as she finished. She hoped with all her heart that her empassioned speech had at least stirred something in her father. If that or her incredible display of Earthbending didn't change his mind, nothing would.

"Of course it doesn't change the way I feel about you Toph...in fact I've realized something." Lao answered.

Toph looked toward her father, hope shining in her eyes. "What?" she asked. Mentally she was praying to the spirits that her father had finally realized she could take care of herself.

"I've let you have far too much freedom. From now on you will be cared for and protected 24 hours a day." He replied, calm authority in his voice.

Toph stood in stunned silence for several minutes. It seemed as though she was having a silent argument with herself. "I knew they would react like this!" one voice was screaming. Still another was reminding her that her parents loved her, and she loved them. But the stubbornness of her father was too much. Even after seeing first hand that she could handle herself, he still insisted that she was weak and helpless. Something in her... snapped. She finally couldn't stand her father's ignorance any longer. "Dad," she said in a calm, yet at the same time menacing voice, "I'm not fragile. And I'm not weak." She could sense his heartbeat rising in anger at what he saw her showing him disobedience. "I don't need to be watched 24/7!" she finally yelled. "I can take care of myself!"

"Toph...I'm only doing what's best for you. Your blind sweetheart." Lao answered, seeming to let Toph's tirade in one ear and out the other, unknowingly fueling his only daughter's rage and frustration.

Toph stamped on the stone floor, causing her father's throne to crumble to pieces, and sending the Beifong Patriarch on his ass. "I'm blind," she said in response. "But I'm not helpless, or weak." She thought about it for a moment. Aang needed an earth bending teacher, and he probably wouldn't find another earth bender better than Toph. "And The Avatar needs my help," she finished. She turned, and began to make her way out of the room.

Lao Beifong picked himself off the ground and looked to his guards. "You're not leaving," he growled. "Guards!" he commanded. Before they could make a room, Toph sent all the guards in the room airborne. Each one hit the ceiling with a simultaneous crash, before crashing through the ground. Toph turned to her father. "I am leaving," she said in a cool, determined tone. "Don't try to stop me." She added coldly. She didn't know it yet, but Lao was about to make the last and most grave mistake of his life.

Her father rushed after her. He tried to grasp Toph by the arm, to no avail. As soon as he got close enough, she reacted. A block of earth formed beneath his feet, and launched him into the air. There was a sickening crack as he landed on his head. "Toph!" her mother shouted! "What have you done?" Toph turned back and realized that her father's heartbeat had stopped. "No!" she cried. She had never intended to kill him. Dozens of swirling emotions filled her mind, but it seemed that the bitterness and resentment she held for her father had won out as her green eyes seemed to have a darker hue to them.

Toph continued to gaze at her father's body. Try as she might, she couldn't feel any empathy, no sorrow whatsoever, as the rage within her heart for him grew, twisting her thoughts. "If he hadn't tried to stop me, maybe he'd still be alive," she said coldly. Her mother burst into tears. Truth be told, Toph had never intended to kill her father. As far as she was concerned, it was his own fault. He had tried to stop her from doing the right thing in helping Aang save the world, and out of defense, she had reacted, causing his rather gory demise.

Despite her usually calm laid-back nature, Toph couldn't help but give an evil smirk in her mother's direction, as though she enjoyed her suffering. Part of her felt remorse, but she was too consumed by her anger and resentment. Her mother was just as guilty as her father as she had supported his ignorance and disregard for Toph's abilities and Toph felt it was only fair that she suffered as well. They had made her life a living hell for 12 years. Sure they pampered her and gave her everything on a silver platter, but it was their continued ignorance to treat her as the superior Earthbending prodigy she was that had made her finally snap and go over the edge.

"Do you still think I'm weak?" she asked cruelly. Her mother was too distraught to offer an answer. Her mother's silence made Toph smile gleefully. It almost felt good to make those that belittled her tremble in fear.

"Toph...we only wanted to protect you..." Her mother sobbed. She looked at Toph tearfully and frightfully. She was convinced that Toph wasn't in control of her actions and was being manipulated by something or someone. She couldn't rationalize that Toph was actually that skilled of a fighter, or held so much resentment and hate for her and her husband. She was positive that Toph was influenced by something evil. Her daughter was a perfect angel.

Poppy Beifong cradled her dead husband. The blood from his split skull stained her clothing. Toph emotionlessly stared at the scene, a cold look in her eyes. "If you miss him so much, perhaps you'd like to join him," she suggested, a cold sneer curling on to her lips.

"Toph...what's happened to you?" She asked, scared to death. This couldn't be the same sweet girl she raised.

Toph laughed in response. "You know, I never stopped to think about it," she replied. A crack was heard as she pulled enough stone out of the floor to make a sizable boulder. "Hush now, mommy. No more tears," she said as she threw it, right at her mother's head.

Poppy somehow ducked on instinct, unknowingly further enraging her daughter.

Toph glared at her mother angrily. "Hold still," she demanded as she began forming another boulder. Poppy let go of her dead husband to better defend herself. In truth, she likely would've been better off letting it gravely injure or perhaps kill her, but like any parent, she was deadset on talking some sense into her daughter, but in retrospect, all this was accomplishing was further feeding Toph's rage, because she took it as a sign of further disrespect.

"Toph please...you can't do this..." Poppy begged her, hoping that her words would reach Toph's heart and give her a moment of clarity.

Toph smirked, but this was not her normal, happy smirk, it was far from it. No, this was an evil grin. Her teeth showed as the grin got wider. "Do you know of anyone who can stop me?" she asked mockingly, already knowing that no one could match her incredible bending prowess. The guards still hadn't picked themselves off of the ground. She let the boulder fly, but somehow, her mother dodged again.

"Toph...sweetheart, let's talk." She begged.

Toph began forming an enormous boulder, one that came almost to the room's ceiling in height. "What is there to say?" she replied coolly. It was clear Toph had heard enough and was prepared to silence her mother once and for all, so she could finally move on with her life and help Aang save the world.

"I...I'm sorry...please...forgive me." Poppy begged, saying what would prove to be her last words...

Toph seemed to consider it. "Very well. You are forgiven," she said. A look of relief washed over her mother's face but it proved to be very short-lived, because at that same moment, Toph threw the boulder. There was no way to dodge this one, as it's size crushed her mother on impact, killing her instantly..

The remnants of Poppy's body quietly fell to the floor as the former Beifong matriarch was left a broken and bloody corpse just as her deceased husband.

The guards struggled to pull themselves to their feet. The sight of Toph's carnage was horrifying. The vibrations told Toph of everyone's exact location in the room. "I'm so sorry," she said in a cold, almost mocking tone. "But I can't leave any survivors." She concentrated, made a complicated series of hand gestures, and then stamped the ground. At each guard's location, a spike of pure rock shot up. There was no dodging them. Each guard found himself impaled on a rock spike. Toph smiled a cold, sadistic and smug smile as she viewed the scene of death before her.

As each guard slowly bled to death, a single sound accompanied their passing: Toph's laughter. "Ha!...Ha!...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The young Earthbender's sick cackle filled the air. She had no guilt, no conscience, no regret for what she did.

Toph continued to laugh maniacally as she left the Beifong estate. She took one last look at the building she had called home for the last 12 years. One would think she was contemplating her past, but she was actually concentrating really hard. Finally, she stamped her foot. The building's foundation cracked, then shattered. Like a house of cards, the entire structure came crumbling down.

Aang and company jumped, not expecting this to happen at all. "What the..." Sokka wondered.

Katara looked in the direction of the noise. "That was Toph's house," she said. She looked at Aang knowingly. He didn't think twice. He tugged at the reins, and Appa turned around, back in the direction of the Beifong estate.

Toph smirked coldly to herself. "I never thought killing your own parents would be so fun...but it was." She laughed softly. She had no regrets for wiping out her family. Her focus now was making Team Avatar her own...

To be continued...
