(Hello everyone! Welcome to my third story and first Avatar story! This is just a prologue to a multi-chaptered story I had an inspiration from a dream I had last night lol. Now originally I imagined the story to take place from during the middle of Season 3, (around the time of The Western Air Temple) But I decided to move it to the middle of the second season. I might change it again because I can :P. This story doesn't really affect the plot (I can't really say why; doing so would uncover huge spoilers that are sort of obvious lol o.o). So it's more like a filler, sort of. Now the prologue HORRIBLY sucks, I know, but please bear with me. Any constructive criticism is welcome.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN A:TLA IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. IT BELONGS TO ITS RESPECTIVE OWNER (S) I ONLY OWN THIS IDEA
It's rated T for slight violence and gore, but the rating may change to K+.)
Prolouge
Deep in the woods, a young girl strolled around taking in the sights; the blue-green grass, the bright round Moon in the sky, the dark trees, and the soft dew glittering on the ground. She was a bit tall, and she whistled as the Moonlight danced off of her chocolate-brown hair. Against the night, her large cerulean eyes almost glowed like a cat's. And with each graceful step she took, her blue dress flowed with her movements.
The girl was humming a small tune as she sauntered around the beautiful sight. Nearing a clearing, more Moonlight seeped from the sky, making her mocha skin glow almost as much as her eyes. A river opened up in front of her, and she sat against the bank. With a sigh, she gently glided her hand over the water's surface. The current followed her every command. She looked up at the Moon, and it reflected in her eyes a little. 'Luna won't be happy I snuck out again,' she thought. 'She'll almost go crazy just like last time. All of her whining is really getting on my last nerve!' With a sneer, the girl mimicked her dragon guardian's voice "I've told ya' so many times before, Katara, you should never go out at night alone without anyone watching you! Who knows what creatures are out there!" Resuming her normal voice, she added, "I can take care of my self, thank you very much." Katara then picked up a small stone and skipped it across the water. "I understand she just wants to look out for me but I'm not a little girl anymore… She really should try and back off occasionally."
She bended a small orb of water from the river and made it stretch into different shapes, and let it drop. Sighing again, she got up and headed back to her friends' camp. "She of all people, err, dragons- should know that the greatest time of my kind is the night. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself! … Yeah I really need to stop talking to no one…"
Suddenly, she heard the bushes rustle, but decided it was just the wind. Something in her gut told her to just run, or at least be wary (Luna called it her "Water bender Intuition" as a joke). Fear started to tug at her heart, and Katara's pace quickened. The rustling got louder and she could've sworn she heard a snarl. A wolf's snarl. But to her surprise, there was only one. 'That's very strange,' she thought, 'don't wolves, you know, hunt in packs?' She heard huge footsteps behind her, and her pace quickened even more into a run. Looking back, Katara caught a glimpse of yellow eyes, but they were strangely human-like…
All of a sudden the wolf, the footsteps, the snarling, everything disappeared. She stopped. The girl sighed in relief, no in a slight hurry to return to her friends. Then out of nowhere, the wolf exploded out of the bushes and tackled the Water bender to the ground. She though quickly, and kicked it in the stomach before smacking it in the nose with a small stream of water, but not quick enough before it bit her arm pretty hard. As it ran off, the girl looked at the bloody wound on her arm. "Etch," she mumbled and slowly healed the wound, trying not to attract anything else.
'That was one strange wolf,' she thought, 'maybe I'll tell Luna and the others in the morning…"
