CHAPTER 1: BAD WEATHER
"Hey guys, I think, maybe, we should stop for shelter somewhere." I said as Sokka, Aang, Toph, and I glided on Appa, "The weather's not looking to good," I glanced up at the dark clouds booming behind us.
"Katara, don't worry so much!" Sokka scolded,"The weather's behind us! We can easily avoid it."
I glared at him,"We can't go faster then weather!"
"No, but Appa can."
"You don't know that! Plus, it's better if we don't take the chances and stay dry, then take the chances and end up soaked and sick."
"Ease up, Katara. Not taking the chances will waste precious time. We need to find Aang a fire bender teacher. Fast."
"Yeah, well, it won't help much if Aang gets sick, now will it?"
"Nope, it won't. That's why he won't get sick!"
"You're so full of yourself, Sokka! We need to find shelter! Now!"
Aang looked back at the two siblings and smiled. He always had to break up their fights,"Hey. Let's just take a deep breath, and calm ourselves. Katara has a point, Sokka. We don't want to take the chances. So let's find us some shelter."
Sokka rolled his eyes and slumped back in the brown saddle, as I gave him a smug smile.
After a few minutes Aang shouted, "There!", he pointed downward.
I looked to where he pointed and saw a huge dark cave, surrounded by trees and mountains. Sokka sat up and gazed at it as well, and his frown deepened, "Ugh. Another cave? At this rate, we'll be more cavemen then civilized humans. We'll even start wearing animal skinned clothing and start going around banging people on the heads with sticks!" he made a face.
Toph rolled her eyes, "Well, I think we should stay at that village over there."
"Where?" Sokka shouted, "I don't see it! Where is it, Toph? Is it-"
Toph waved a hand in front of her eyes.
Sokka sighed loudly,"Oh. Once again, you got me. With the same trick to."
Appa landed on the dry ground with a grunt. Momo jumped off of him and ran off to investigate the new territory.
"I'm going to go find some water," I stated as I hopped off of Appa.
Aang followed, "Good idea. I'll start a fire inside the cave. Sokka go find some food. Toph... um...you... go with Sokka."
Sokka sighed, "As always. I'm the 'finder'."
I rolled my eyes and wandered off, looking for a source of water. I looked behind and over bushes, but found nothing. I searched for a few more minutes and finally flopped down on the ground. Should I just go back? Ugh, no I can't quit. I slowly got up and continued my hopeless search for a few minutes before I heard some people talking. I smiled. People... That means water, and maybe some food.
I followed my ears towards a steep slope, and looked down. There was at least a dozen people seated around a fire, laughing and talking. I looked around them. Red tents and flags covered the ground around them. Red... Fire nation!
