Okay, this is my first fic, so R+R. Please be completely honest, I accept flames. This is sort of a modern-day Avatar crossed over with Teen Titans. I suck at writing.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Avatar, but whoever does is cool.
Wow. I never expected this to happen. Well of course I was always afraid it would, but… wow. Was I really standing on a mountain with two strangers, watching our town burn to the ground?
Maybe I should back up. My name is Katrina (Kat for short), and I'm a water-bender. I live in a small town called Tonabi. That is, I lived in a small town called Tonabi. Tonabi was a place for all sorts of people, except the Fire Nation.
Today, as everyone was going about their business, the Fire Nation attacked. It was a terrible raid, the Fire Nation burned down houses and took any benders they found. I wanted to help, but knew if I bent I'd be in serious trouble. So I ran. I ran and ran. If I didn't help, people would die. If I did help… I didn't want to think about it. I turned to see if I was being followed. I was. I stumbled and nearly ran into a garbage can. Who cares if they take me, I finally decided. I turned and got ready. But just as I was about to hit a fire-bender with a blast of water, the garbage can behind me seemed to reach out and grab my ankle. Before I fell behind the can, my arms flailed around and I hit the man I was about to attack. He fell into the wall of a store selling cabbages and, weakened by the fire, the building swayed and fell. From across the street I heard a scream of, "MY CABBAGES!" Why would anyone be so concerned about cabbages at a time like this?
Once behind the can, I turned to see two teenagers looking at me, a girl and a boy. The girl, who had obviously pulled me back there, let go of my ankle while the boy hissed, "What do you think you're doing? Don't bend."
I noticed the boy was wearing a white shirt, so he was Air Nation, and the girl was wearing a brown shirt, Earth Nation. They weren't related. I thought for sure they were at first glance. They both had short brown hair and some freckles. Though they were squatting I could tell they were both sort of tall.
"Follow us," the girl whispered, "we have to get out of here." And so I followed as they led me to the mountains where we followed the trail up. When we were a safe distance from Tonabi we looked down the mountain to the smoking rubble that was once our home.
Sorry it's so short, but that was sort of an introduction. So how is it? Sucky, right? Whatever, just R+R. I want just one review before I post the next chapter, but more would be nice.
