Lila
Prolog:
When Katara was three, her brother and godfather took her on a fishing trip. Suddenly a great storm hit, the boat was tossed and turned. Katara was tossed overboard, she screamed. The waves splashed against her small body, driving her under. She came back up breathless. She called for someone to hear her. She would have called for Sokka, her brother, but she didn't know that he was her brother and she didn't know his name.
Chapter 1
Arriving in the Fire Nation
Crying, weeping, a three-year-old girl, born to the Southern Water Tribe, was tossed about the strong waves. The girl's name was Katara, though she didn't fully know it yet. She had an older brother named Sokka. Katara saw a rather large piece of wood, she swam as hard as she could toward the wood and climbed on. She held on for dear life and closed her eyes and soon she was asleep. When Katara woke up, she found herself in a bed. She looked around the room she was in. the room was red, on the wall facing her, was a huge tapestry with a flame on it. To the left of her, about a foot away, she saw what looked like a pile of toddler toys.
"Mom, can she stay? Please mom?" said a young girls voice.
"Your father and I have talked about this, so, yes she can stay." Said the girls' mother. "And Mai, do take care." Katara sat up.
"Oh good you're awake." Said the mother. Katara nodded.
"Do you have a name child?" Katara shook her head. No.
"Would you like one?" Katara nodded.
"Do you like the name Lumeir or Lila?"
"Lila." Said Katara.
"Well Lila, I have a question for you, ok?" Lila nodded.
"Do you remember where your home is?" Lila shook her head.
"I don't remember anything." She said in a soft voice. The mother looked pleased enough.
"Well then Lila, I am now your mother, and your father is the governor of the Fire Nation." Lila smiled.
"My father is the governor of the Fire Nation?" her adopted mother nodded.
"Mom!" Mai came running into Lila's room.
"Mai, what is it?"
"I heard everything! I have a younger sister and her name is Lila! Thank you!" their mother smiled
"I'll let you two talk." She got up and left the room.
"So, our father is the Governor of the Fire Nation?" Lila asked.
"Yup, he's a very important person. He helps Fire Lord Ozai run our nation. He can be strict at times, but you really couldn't have asked for a better father." Mai looked at Lila.
"Here, let's get you dressed properly." She took her new sister by the hand and took her to her own room. Mai opened a closet filled with outfits for a Fire Nation girl. Mai picked one out. Lila gasped. It was beautifull. It was a long, black, dress that touched the floor, and had long, billow sleeves, tied around the waist was a red sash. Lila squealed.
"Come on!" Mai said as she showed Lila to the Wash-room.
"You can get dressed in there." Lila did as she was told. She spent five minutes in there, when she finally got out her sister let out a sigh of delight.
"Come, I'll braid your hair." Mai did indeed braid Lila's hair and so much more. Mai told Lila about her life, and Lila listened, very much interested.
"Mai! Lila! Time for supper!" their mom called up.
"Coming mom!" the three and five year-old girls ran all the way to the dining area. The two girls straightened up, and walked stately toward their parents
