Author's Note: Hey Guys! Well I'm sorry, but my Twilight story got totally wiped from my computer. T-T So if you were a fan, I'm sorry that I had to remove it. Maybe I'll revisit it in the future if I have time. BUT good news, I've decided to work on my first Avatar:The Last Airbender fanfic! Woot. So rate. Review. Comment. Favorite even? I'll accept any suggestions also! Constructive criticism is happily accepted, but please don't be rude. That's a no no. Thanks bunches, and don't forget to check back often for updates! 3 Origami.
"Oki! Come inside, you'll get cold!" my mother shouted.
"Aw let her explore. She's a water bender, and she needs to experiment with the snow. Don't you remember when you were a child and you needed to water bend at every second?" my father said.
I turned and smiled sweetly at my parents.
"Hey mom...I don't think you'll be mad anymore when you see what I can do..." I sang lightly. With a twist of my hand, I gathered up a huge pile of snow, divided it into snowballs and sent them all twirling into the sky. As each snowball came down, I directed it with accurate precision at an innocent tree twenty feet away.
"See Katara? She's a natural prodigy. Only five years old and look at what she can do."
"Oh Aang. Go get your daughter to come inside..." my mother sighed.
My father laughed at her and went outside and grabbed my hand.
"C'mon let's go. If you behave, I'll give you a rice cake!" he shouted, with that goofy smile of his on his face."
"Okay dad." I piped. With a wipe of my hand, I cleared a path in the snow for us to walk in. He chuckled and patted my head.
"You're such a little show off. I could have done that. I AM the avatar you know?"
"Yes dad, I know." I giggled.
"Oki. Earth to Oki. OKI!" my uncle Sokka yells in my face.
I rolled onto my stomach and smelt the sweet grass beneath me. As usual, I'm dreaming about better days; when my parents were alive. Now, I live with my mother's brother Sokka, his wife, Kyoshi warrior retiree, Suki, and their two kids, Ty and Ki, the most annoying pair of five year old twins in the universe. When I was six, my parents were drugged in their sleep and murdered. If my dad was awake, he would've been able to defend themselves...if I was there, I might've been able to do something. But I was too busy lollygagging at my friend's house. Now, all the nations are in a frenzy trying to figure out who murdered the avatar and his wife. Nations are turning their back on the other. Peace is now a thing of the past. I'm expecting for the new avatar to pop up anytime now. I don't know why, but as I'm growing older, memories of my parents just appear more and more frequently. It gets to the point where I'm kneeling on my knees holding my head in anguish. I've even had a vision of my parent's murderer's face.
"Oki are you listening?! Oki!"
"What?!" I scream. My uncle shrinks back and scratches his head.
"Someone is being a surly teenage girl today..." he mumbles.
I sit up and toss my hair back. It was long, thick, and wavy. Like my mother's hair. I was small and petite like my father.
"Maybe that's because I AM surly, teenage girl." I huff. "What did you need?"
"Hikitsu sent a messenger bird for you. He probably wants you to go visit him."
Hikitsu was the Fire Lord Zuko's fifteen year old son. He and I shared the same birthday, and since my father and his were best friends, we grew up very close together. So close, that we've been in a relationship since we were thirteen. The only people that knew was our families. We're sixteen now, so it's been under wraps from the public for about three years now. Fire Lord Zuko, however, started spreading the word this month. So the whole fire nation should know by now of our dating. Honestly, I think that's what our fathers wanted. They were always pushing us together. It was unnecessary to push us together for too long. Ever since we turned two, we've been inseparable. As we grew older and our hormones started raging faster, the way we saw each other changed from simple sibling love. The emotional ride started on our thirteenth birthday. We were having a friendly duel (as usual.) I was about to send a water ball at him, but I lost my balance on a loose floor tile and started to fall headfirst into a sharp stone pointed straight at my face. Hikitsu dove under me to catch my blow and I fell into his open arms, staring straight into his gold eyes. The rest fell into place.
"Thanks Uncle Sokka. Can I head over there right now?"
"I don't care. I mean, who wants a surly teenage girl around here. And not just a regular surly teenage girl. A surly teenage girl that could attack me with her crazy water bending skills at any given time." he says teasingly.
"I'm sorry Uncle Sokka. I'm not having a good day today..."
"Oh..." he says quietly. He knows that when I say that, I'm thinking of my parents. "Well, maybe a visit with Hikitsu will cheer you up. Eh? Eh?" he says while nudging my arm.
"I'll leave now." I say as I pull myself up and started walking to the Appa's stable. I haul myself up on the huge flying bison and we fly up into the sky.
