Here's to us. 100 days of Tokka.
A.N.- Not literally 100 days of Tokka. 100 chapters, yes. But if you think I can get 100 chapters out in 100 days then you must be out of your mind. But because there is never enough of these, and avatar fanfiction is over the brim with Zutara, I give thee yet another 100 Tokka challenge. Wish me luck and enjoy the damn thing.
#39 Fear-
It's not that I was never afraid of anything. I can pull off a brave face if I want but I'm still human. I still get scared. All those times before, even if I didn't show it. I was always scared.
Ever since I was a little girl I was scared of lots of things. I was afraid of thunder and lightning. I was afraid of the boogeyman. I was afraid when a nanny I had told me about vampires. But more than anything, I was always afraid of being alone. As I got older I taught myself not to be afraid of silly things like thunder, and monsters from fairy tales.
Monsters weren't real and couldn't hurt me no matter what, and thunder was just noise.
And being alone was just something else I would have to get used to as I grew older. I was never especially close to anyone, except maybe the badgermoles. But even then, it wasn't the same. The applause at Earth Rumble was for me, but it was always just for me. Only me.
And the way my life was headed, I was probably going to grow up alone, and marry someone who would not know or care about he real me. I would be alone forever.
But that's okay. I can deal. I'm a tough girl. I'm not the same little kid who hid in her closet because the thunder was too loud and seemed like it was always coming closer.
I know that even though I have friends I'm the one who's alone. Not that I resent any of them. They're happy and I'm happy for them. But it still makes me sad. And I'm still scared sometimes that I'll be alone forever.
Aang has Katara.
Zuko has Mai.
And Suki has you.
And I'm still here. Alone.
Now the only thing I'm afraid of is what happens when you're gone.
