Can't fight the moonlight
Chapter 1
"SOKKA!" Katara yelled.
"What?" groaned her older brother Sokka, just waking up from his nap. There were two great loves in Sokka's life; one was sleep, the other was—
"Don't you 'what' me BOY! You ate ALL the food!" Katara growled. Yep. Food.
"No I didn't!" Sokka yelled back, grabbing the food satchel and turning it upside-down, waiting for the contents to fall out…nothing but three measly crumbs and an empty leechy-nut shell. "Oh, shit, I must have been sleep eating AGAIN…" Sokka groaned, meekly peeking at his enraged younger sister.
"Well?" she all but snarled, her aquatic eyes going from calm waters to dangerous, raging whirlpools.
"Uhh, I'm gonna go find some food…bye!" Sokka squeaked, grabbing his trusty boomerang before taking off into the forest, eager to escape the wrath of his baby sister.
"PENGUIN SHIT!" Katara howled at her fleeing older brothers back.
"Geez, Sugar-Queen, we're in a forest just BUSTIN' with berries, nuts, and protein rich animals; believe me, we'll find some more food," Toph drawled lazily from her perch on a stump to Katara's left.
"But...he…GRR!" Katara growled, her full upper-lip pulling back in a snarl, revealing pearly white teeth as her oceanic eyes continued to swirl with raw emotion.
"Toph's right Katara, it's not the end of the world," Aang stated (he would know lol) trying to play the peacemaker (of course). He couldn't exactly blame Katara for her cold and often aggressive attitude. She developed it two years before, after she was betrayed in the catacombs by Zuko.
"Ugh…whatever" Katara grumbled under her breath, running a hand through her gorgeous, thick, now thigh-length milk-chocolate hair.
"Soooo…um, your birthday is coming up soon right, Katara?" Aang asked knowing it would benefit everyone if he changed the subject.
Knowing what Aang was doing, Katara chose not to point it out and instead decided to humor the tattoo-clad child. "Yeah, I turn 16 in two days" she stated with a rueful smile.
"Wow. I can't believe it has been two whole years since you released me from that iceberg back in the South Pole, it feels like it happened only a week ago. Time sure does fly, huh?" Aang exclaimed wistfully collapsing backwards to lay on Appa's back with his arms crossed behind his head of shaggy dark brownish-black hair.
He decided to grow it out two years ago after nearly getting killed in the crystal catacombs by that psycho Azula who afterwards proclaimed to entire world that he was dead. The whole Gaang unanimously agreed that it would be a wise idea for him to grow out his hair to cover the giant blue arrow on his head that basically screamed "I'M ALIVE". This way, he could walk about any town or village with his friends and not be attacked or recognized. He also changed his outfit to a less obvious one; baggy long-sleeved dark red shirt, black slacks, brown shoes. Sokka now wears something similar to Aang only his shirt was dark blue and sleeveless, he also grew the sides of his hair out. Toph wears her mid-back length ebony hair in a ponytail with her bangs still covering her eyes, a dark green short sleeved kimono-dress with slits on both sides so she can move freely, brown leggings, and of course her feet are bare. Katara ditched the braid and hair-loopies and grew her hair out to reach her thighs, her top is like her white training outfit/underwear only it is the same dark blue color her brother wears that hugs her newly developed curves that any woman would kill for, a matching ankle-length sarong that was shredded at the ends and fastened at her left hip with a reversed crescent clip revealing a pair of black knee-length leggings and a pair of blue flats. Around her neck is her Mother's necklace and around her head is a band with a black reversed crescent moon on it like on her skirt; the Watertribe symbol of the brave. Sort of like a gaudy crown seeing as she IS the Daughter of the chief of the Southern Watertribe, i.e. a princess; like Yue.
"Yeah, it sure does" Katara stated, a smirk pulling at her lips.
What Katara didn't know was that in two days her entire life would change and she would never be the same again.
