Fear Toph
I never had nightmares before the incident at the Serpent's Pass, but I had woken up three times in tonight alone panting with a cold sweat on my brow. I kept thinking I couldn't breathe. The feeling of suffocating was over whelming. The feeling, the pure sensation of drowning. There really wasn't much I was afraid of, but when I couldn't find my footing, I panicked everything seemed to move in slow motion and I thought I was done for. Thankfully Suki saved me, but by that point the trauma had already set in. I was already awake now so I sat watching the others chest raise and fall as they slept peacefully. I hated showing this kind of fear for anything, but I had always been able to see using earth bending. The feeling I had gotten from being in the water was truly terrifying the feeling of being fully blind to the world and all its elements…
Fear- Sokka
I never really saw what had happened with my mother, just the aftermath, but the pain I felt was indescribable. I know it was our destiny to help Aang but all the danger it had put Katara in so far made me cold down to my core. With most of the people out to get us being powerful benders, like the two very powerful fire benders, there was almost nothing I could do to protect her in times like this. Deep down in the wrenching pit of my stomach I believed Katara was destined to suffer the same fate as our mother did, murdered at the hands of ruthless fire benders to protect those she cared about most. The more my terror stricken mind plotted out different scenarios, the more I realized they all had two things in common. Number one- Katara wouldn't wake up no matter how much I begged at her side like an abandoned wolf pup, and number two- there had been nothing I could do to prevent the outcome of every one. I looked over at her practicing with Aang with tear pooling in my eyes, knowing deep down I would be returning home alone.
