This is just the prologue, this is the only chapter to be done in Katara's POV, the rest will be from the 3rd person.
I sigh as I awake. The furry fabric of my bedding wraps around me as I'm about to leave, almost as if it's pleading for me to stay. I quickly peel the sheets off my sweat cover body as I slide out of bed. I look around the small hut, my brothers still sound asleep. He's oblivious to my leaving today. Not that I'd tell him.
I put on my parka and walk outside to the ocean. I stare at myself in the water. I see the refection of an innocent girl. Her bright blue eyes happy. Her brown hair flowing flawlessly down her back. She looks like she has no worries in the world. If only that was the truth.
The wind starts to blow a little bit harder and I sigh turning around. I thought the walk back to my hut would be a peacefully one, but a lass I was wrong. "The elders wish to speck with you." Myla tells me. I nod at her and change my direction.
Once I get to the elder's hut I walk in and sit in my normal chair. "Miss Mizu you know why we have called you here." The leader points out.
"Yes, I am here to get my assignment." I respond. I've been training for this day in secret for 12 years. I'm only 15, and I've used 12 of those years sneaking around. 12 of those years training. 12 of those years killing.
The elder nods and gives me a piece of paper. "Your ship will leave in 2 hours. You will tell no one where you are going. You may only tell one you are leaving. Please have a safe journey, we anxiously await your return." And with that I left. I continued on my path home, like the meeting never happened.
The snow starts to fall lightly as I make my way back home. I'm going to miss the snow. Most likely where I'm going won't have snow. Only us, the Northern Water Tribe, and a few Air Temples get snow, and I doubt they'd be sending me there.
I slowly pull back the fabric at the head of my hut. I see my brother still sleeping. I decided to let him sleep for a bit while I get breakfast ready. I grab the meat I hid yesterday and sliced it. I put the meat on two plates and put some bread on it as well
to I need to tell him I'm leaving. An idea pops into my head. I walk over to his bed and pull the sheet out from under him yelling. "Seal Jerky!"
Sokka quickly falls to the ground. But as quickly as he fell he gets up. "Seal Jerky?" He asks excitably. I was so temped to tell him no, to see him get all sad. But I guess I just couldn't today.
"Yep, eat up." I smiled as I walked over to the small table. I sat down and started eating. Sokka how ever dug right in.
We made small chit-chat for most of breakfast. We were about done when Sokka finally asked the question I knew he would.
"What's the special occasion?" He asked as he pushed his licked clean plate away.
I paused, not knowing how to tell him. So before I could even think them though I said the first words I thought of. "I'm an assassin, and I'm leaving today for my first big mission."
Sokka started killing himself laughing. I glared at him and stood up. "What! What is so funny?" I demanded. Sokka continued to laugh. "You? An assassin?" He laughed slapping his knee. "Yeah, and I'm the Avatar!"
I clenched my hands, the hut started moving with my breathing. "Oh yeah, so funny! I'm just a pathetic little girl who's been training behind your's, dad's, gran-gran's and mom's back for 12 years!" I yell, I storm out of the house before I broke it. I run to the spot where the ship was picking me up. I happily find that the ship was there.
I don't even look back as I get on. I know Sokka's probably out looking for me now. But I don't care anymore. I only did this because I thought I could help my family, help my village, help stop the 100 year war.
"Got you!" A happy 3 year old yells as she hits the last of her class with a snow ball. "I win! I win!" She jumps happily. Little did she know what that game was really about.
"Katara, come here." Her teacher said lovingly. Katara happily skips over to her teacher, hopping to get a prize for winning. "The elders would like to talk with you." Her teacher explains.
Katara gets a panicked look, you only get sent to the elders when you did something bad! And as far as she was consered, she did nothing wrong. "I didn't cheat ! I swear!" She pleaded.
"Come now Katara, they're waiting for you." pushed Katara towards the elders hut.
The sound of the horn woke my up from my day dream. There's no turning back now. I'm leaving.
