Once she was told, she ran like the madwoman she never wanted to be. She couldn't accept it. Not now, not when the group of old fire nation soldiers had raided their small town and taken her mother. That was when she broke. Before the trainers could take away her mother, the few people still rebelling could. The young girl realized what they were after, and immediately she retaliated. Her mother was one of the few water benders left in the small tribe, and yet when the soldiers asked where the other water bender was, her mother immediately said that she was out traveling. And that the last water bender wouldn't be back for months on end.

Firelord Zuko couldn't extinguish every flame. He couldn't kill every single one of the rebellious soldiers hope, he could only wish he did. Although she knew better, you could never extinguish a flame burning as brightly as the men that had taken her mother. And now, those same soldiers would never extinguish the brightly burning flame fueling the girl's spirit to find her mom. She vowed that night when they came that she would never cease her search for her mother, even if it killed her.

They ripped her mother from her arms, and all she remembered before blacking out was spitting in their faces and encasing their feet in blocks of ice. But, being the fire benders they were, they quickly put out the small set back. Then, one of the soldiers hit her with the butt of his sword, and dragged her mother off to only spirits' know where. The girl was in an alternate universe, exploring an unseen land, then she woke up and there was a searing pain on her arm. She had been branded by the small rebellious group. There would soon be a scar, but it was quite odd, the scar that the soldier left. It was only his finger prints, as if he wanted her to remember him. That just gave her an easier was of finding him. There was also a gash above her left temple. She winced when she felt the inflated, burned skin on her arm, and shuddered when she realized what she had to do.

She waited a few months to start her journey. She packed up a small amount of supplies and set out to do something to get her mother back. She had to know where she was, and she was going to do anything to find out. Her first destination: the Northern Water Tribe.


Alright, I just need to know if I should actually make this a story, before I post the actual first chapter. This is only the prologue, and I'm hoping to get enough PM's or reviews to actual become encouraged to FINISH this one.

APOLOGIES ALL AROUND! I am so sorry for the lack of updating on my Gallagher Girls stories, but I am officially putting Win Me Over into future delete mode. I realized how badly I was writing, and I am just too lazy to delete it. I promise to update Remember soon. I feel so bad for not updating, but I have just ran out of ideas, and time.

I am constantly being bombarded with sports, work, church stuff, or family ordeals. So, once again, I am so sorry for bad updating habits. You'd think that during the summer I'd get a break, right? Wrong.

So, if I get at least five PM's and five reviews, I'll make this into a full blown story. I'll go ahead and start writing the first chapter just as a hopeful wishing kind of thing. I really wanted to make an Avatar story only because I have been obsessed with it lately, and I don't really know why, but I have been.

TO ALL AVATAR HATERS: Just don't read my story if it's that painful, but I love Avatar, and I think it's a great show, and I actually loved the movie! So, sorry if this doesn't appeal to your literary taste buds. :)

Alrighty then! Hopefully I'll get some reviews! Love, Moe
