DREAMS into NIGHTMARES

CHAPTER 1

"We should camp here for the night." Aang called out as he landed Appa. They have been traveling all day to the north pole and there was only just few more days until they arrive..

"I'm so excited! I finally will learn waterbending!" Katara said excited as she got off of Appa.

"Me too!" Aang agreed. "I just hope it wont take long getting there."

"Well I don't want you two to think I'm not excited about this as well but I would be more excited if I got some sleep!" Sokka shouted. He was very exhausted from traveling.

"Sorry Sokka." Aang apologize.

"He's right we should get some sleep." Katara whispered as she got in her sleeping bag.

Katara's Dream

"Mom! Mom!" shouted 8 year old Katara to her mother. "Look! I'm bending it! I'm bending the water!" Katara was lifting the water up from a small bowl, but only a little bit came up.

"Good Katara! Keep practicing and you'll be able to get the water higher!" her mother said giving Katara a hug and kiss. "Where is your brother?"

"I don't know, I think he is still outside." Katara said pointing to the door.

"Sokka knows better than to be outside when a storm is coming in. I'll go get him." she stepped outside seeing her 9 year old son just standing catching snowflakes with his tongue.

"Sokka. Hunny, what are you doing?" his mother said with a little laugh.

"Mom?" Sokka asked catching the flakes with his glove." why are the snowflakes black?"

"What are you talking about?"

Sokka pulled his arm out with the black snow flakes in his hand.

"Sut? but how can there be--" she paused herself and turned to the ocean view where she then saw fire nation navy ship's approaching. "Sokka come inside!" his mother commanded as she grabbed his hand.

They got inside seeing Katara still playing with the water. Their mom peeked outside and saw people running around, afraid, and worring for their children. Katara and Sokka began to hear screams, which scared the them. Outside of the window the sky began to turn black and the ground was now a mushy muddy blackish color.

"Mom? What's going on?" Sokka asked.

"Mom? What's happening?" Katara asked running to her mother.

Their mom turned to face her children, whom she loved with all her life. "My children." she began. "once I leave here I want you two to hide. Do you remember where your father and I took you penguin sledding?"

"Yes." both Sokka and Katara answered together.

"Hide there! your father or myself will come to get you. No matter what the circumstance are you will not leave that spot. You understand?" she told them calmly.

"Yes mom." Sokka and Katara answered as their eyes were filling with fear and tears.

"Alright. I love you both so much and I'm so proud of you. But before I leave Katara sweety I wanted you to have my necklace. It belonged to your gran-gran then me and now I pass it to you. Take good care of it."

Katara couldn't speak. she was completly in tears.

"Mom?" Sokka asked wanting to know what the would get.

"This was your father's boomerang. He wanted to give it to you on your 16th birthday, but I think you might need it today." she handed him the boomerang.

"Thanks mom." Sokka said.

"Sokka, Katara where is your father?" their mother asked.

"Katara knows!" Sokka quickly answered.

"Katara sweety? Where is your father?" she asked calmly, but katara couldn't answer cause she couldn't stop crying. "Please katara." she said rasing her voice.

"With Bato. They wanted to show Gran-gran somthing." Katara finally answered.

"Your grandmother is out there?! Ok I'm going to get them and I'll send your grandma to stay with you."

"Mom what about you?" sokka asked.

"After I find your father I'll join you. Make sure your not followed. Sokka watch your sister while you up there." she gave them one last kiss and hug them ran out.
