I really enjoyed avatar: the last airbender and I liked to think of what the Gaang might do after it finished.
Disclaimer: I do not own avatar: the last airbender.
Aang, Katara, sokka, toph and zuko had been traveling around lately keeping peace, when they came across a roomer about some cold, pale, super-human that was killing off earth nation people from a small village.
The 'Gaang' as Sokka called them, headed straight there and were camping just outside the village, in a clearing in the forest, to see if they could find this strange person the villagers were now calling a vampire.
They'd been there for two days now and had found no vampire, but had eye witnesses and paintings of the creature. They also sadly had the bodies of the deceased, drained of blood and life.
Aang laid out on appa's tail and breathed in deep while he was sleeping, it was a hot night and it was nice to sleep with no blankets and in no tent.
Sokka snored as he slept by the fire, Katara slept in a blue tent and Zuko in red, while Toph stayed in her earth tent.
The crickets chirped in the grass as Aang jolted awake, sweating furiously and shaking. Nightmares of the victims haunted his dreams, though he often woke early enough to wash and become calm before the others awoke.
He didn't want to worry them with such little things while they had bigger things to think about.
That meant aang knew what to do now, he gathered a piece of spare cloth to wash his face with and sneaked out of camp towards the river to wash.
It would only be a fast wash and then he would run back to the others and lay back down to wait for sun-rise.
Then out of no where, like lightning aang was tripped, he landed with a thud on his back. He'd only made it halfway to the river. Then an icy cold hand gripped around Aang's throat and choked off his air supply.
Aang looked through the black haze that was forming round his vision to see a very pale man with bright, glowing red eyes and long white fangs.
This was the vampire who was attacking the villagers! And now it was attacking him!
Aang panicked and stared to thrash around the death-like grip on his throat but it was no good.
The vampire brought aang up to his face and then sunk his teeth down into his throat, the pain was completely unbearable.
It was like his head was being torn slowly off his shoulders, very slowly, strand by strand.
Aang's breathing picked up to an extremely fast pace, eyes wide and scared. No one even knew he was gone.
No one knew he was in trouble.
Aang was so panicked and frightened he'd forgotten he could possibly get free with bending.
He sent a long, strong blast of fire into the vampire's stomach and he went reeling back, it went up like a match. Screaming and writhing in agony, Aang was clutching his neck as the blood pored out and made a crimson puddle around him.
The vampire now just a mound of grey ash that blew away in the wind aang felt bitter and horrible.
He'd just done what he'd swore never to do. He'd just killed.
Then through the tears and blood came a new feeling.
The feeling of burning slowly lit up in his veins as the previous occupant of them streamed out onto the dirt path.
While it started of a warming sensation soon blistered and scorched Aang's insides, and at the same time paralyzed his feeble attempt at screaming for help to his friends sleeping forms in the clearing.
He wriggled in the blood and dirt clawing at his neck, the pain then spreading through his entire being, blazing hotter and hotter.
Aang thought he was becoming hot enough to actually go up in a blazing inferno.
Then through all the intense pain and blood loss aang finally passed out into heat riddled blackness.
~Back at camp~
The sun rise woke sokka up from his deep slumber, he was starving and sat up to see if anyone was preparing breakfast yet.
Sokka looked around at the tents of Katara, Zuko and Toph.
How they slept in tents in these heats he had no idea, but himself and Aang had wisely slept outside.
He looked over to where Aang sleeps to find no body resting calmly on appa's tail.
He'd most likely gone to get food for breakfast but Sokka didn't like this feeling, the air was heavy and they arehere to protect the village from a vampire so Sokka got up.
It would be no use if only he went to find aang, so he went over to Toph's and kicked the side of the earth tent.
"Toph! Get up, Aang's gone!" he shouted. Sokka heard a noise and turned to see Katara and Zuko getting out of their tents.
"what's going on?" zuko questioned in a clear deep voice. "Aang is gone" as sokka nodded to the empty sleeping space of aang.
"WHAT!" Katara squealed in a high panicked voice. "Relax sugar queen, I'm sure he's just gone to meditate or do something avatar-ish." Toph said in a calm voice as she brought down the walls of her earth tent.
"Yes Toph, but we are here because of a crazy killing vampire creature! We can't just let him go off on his own like that!" Katara shouted.
I came over and gave her a little squeeze round the shoulders, "Don't worry, when we get him I'll kick his little avatar butt for worrying us all so much."
"He's most likely in the village, I think we should check there first. See if anyone's seen him around." Zuko said.
"yeah" sokka said, "lets go check."
So sokka held his sisters hand told her to go get ready and they would leave in a couple of minutes.
After they'd all dressed and were ready they told Appa to stay and wait in case aang came back, then they all left for the village.
~Aang~
Aang slowly came back into consciousness but kept his eyes screwed tightly shut.
The pain he felt was worse than anything he'd experienced before he could hear his heart beat in his head and it was very slow, but with every beat brought a new wave of excruciating pain with it.
Aang truly would rather of died, he could hear himself hyperventilating, sharp, shallow blasts of air that burned upon contact with his lungs and brought blood out his mouth with every exhale.
Aang hoped he was dying, hoped it would be over soon, he knew better. Dying wasn't like this, the wound should of killed his hours ago but he was still here. Writhing in pain in the shadows of the forest trees.
Pain shooting through every limb and every vein. Aang was glad his friends couldn't see him now.
They would be all over him trying to heal him, aang knew they would have all the best intentions but touching the floor was agony, as was his clothes sticking to his skin with sweat.
As aang laid there turning in horrible pain as noticed the sun gradually making its way back down.
He'd been missing for a day.
He then concentrated on the pain, hoping to feel it cooling.
Then after gradual excruciating hours the fire started to pull away from his toes. Leaving them blissfully cool.
