A week has passed since my last bath, approximately two days since my last meal, and about a lifetime since my last drink. I'm not sure where I am, exactly, but direction has never been a skill I had the pleasure of boasting about. That's besides the point.
It's a bright clear day, and the sun is having it's fun with me today. Despite the seemingly bad situation i'm in, this is basically like any other day for me. Though i'm still getting used to the notion. Since my banishment...this was my life. When was I going to learn to accept that? It was easy for me to delude myself at times, but it's getting easier to cope with. That doesn't stop the relentless anger, though, the suddenly hostile urge that constantly boils up, telling me to punch something, and fast. There's a tree nearing, and feeling hopeless, I take comfort in leaning against it. Then a sound cuts through my moping. Water...It can't be, but it is! I turned the corner, watching my step as I almost plumett into a small pond lying less than two feet from me. A small waterfall complements the space.
"Oh, thank you Irohs of the Universe!" I yell, Stripping out of my tattered clothing. I crouched to my heels, ignoring the stinging pain.
The water surrounds me, lapping at my skin and suffocating me momentarily while I dive to it's depths. When I reach the surface again, a satisfied sigh escapes me. Long ago this would have been something of a fun little activity. Funny how things change, and now I find myself finding hope in this small pond.
Slowly, I reach out and grab my ragged old shirt, prepared to wring it through with water till it's usable once again. It's filled with countless holes, and the seams are close to unthreading. As I reach for the garment, however, calloused hands meet my fingers and a jolt spreads through my body in a blind flash.
My ears are bludgeoned with loud yells of "Fire Nation!" and "Must die!" I turn around, a frightened and angry hiss escaping my throat as I prepare to defend myself. It's a foolish action, though, and in an instant everything fades.
Then, i'm met with darkness.
Yeah, so, I'm trying to get back in this. I know i've said that before and that this is my second time trying to revive this story, but I promise it'll be better! As you can see I edited the chapter again, and though I still don't like it, it's better. Once I get to about...chapter 3, I think it'll be relatively smooth sailing.
Also, I really don't like my writing. So, any readers, please, give me your most harshest critisisms! I really want to pursue writing, but not i I can't start feeling confident in it, especially considering this is just fanfiction. So, yeah.
From old version: Kkitty96 thanks for the review and I hope you don't mind what I did here. I just decided it would be a lot easier if I put this chapter first than the other. I know, I know, I should've done that earlier, but hey, what can you do?
