Prologue

The day could have been worse, I suppose. I was unharmed…I think…though, that didn't quite explained the splitting headache. Thinking about it, though making my headache worse, whatever made my head hurt was probably what caused my amnesia. How did I get here? What happened? Why was it that my memory was so foggy?

My name is Lilly. I have brown hair that reaches to mid back, brown eyes, and a thin and curvy body. I couldn't see what was under the blanket I clung to, but whatever it was, it did nothing against the biting cold I felt. Looking around, I could see I was under a blue tent, snow was all around, and a bucket of water was next to me. I had taken a couple of sips, but it chilled me to the bone, so I didn't take it in big gulps.

For the life of me, I couldn't remember where I was, what had happened, anything within the last 24 hours of consciousness. The last thing I remembered was from 2 days ago, when my friend was obsessing over a tv show. I didn't blame her, of course, I loved the show as much as she did. That said, she could be…intense…and that was generous.

My thoughts once again shifted to the present as I shivered, hugging the blanket around me tightly. I had woken up numb, but the numbness was quickly replaced by cold. It was a wonder my face hadn't frozen off however long I was here…wherever "here" was. As it was, my nose was numb, and the only reason the rest of my face wasn't was because I kept pressing it against the blanket whenever I started losing feeling. Not that it helped too much.

I thought back, trying desperately to think of what might have happened. The only thing I remembered were flashes…and they weren't too helpful.

I could remember voices. Everything felt heavy, I couldn't move a muscle at first, but very slowly I regained feeling. My head throbbed, but it was numb, but besides that I also heard someone speaking. I tried to listen to the words.

"Will she be ok?" a young girl asked

"I can't say for certain Katara" that was an older voice, but also female "she seems to be healing well"

I came out of my thoughts. Katara…why was the name so familiar?

I thought back to the show, hoping my last memory would help…I remember sitting on my couch with my friend, my eyes glued to cartoon characters on the screen.

"I wish our lives could be like that" she said

"you want to be in the middle of a war?" I asked, a hint of teasing in my voice.

"no, silly! The other parts!" she replied excitedly "exploring the world, seeing people do things we can only dream of, being able to save the world-"

"so, to be in the middle of a war" I couldn't keep the laughter out of my voice

"I'd gladly take a war over Algebra" I groaned. We were both in high school, and math had hit us hard. Sometimes it felt great to be 16, and others…well…

"yea…I guess I do kind of wish I could be in a world like that" I said "by the way, who's your favorite character? Mines Ty Lee"

"you only say that because she uses gymnastics to fight" my friend replied. It was true, Ty Lee wasn't exactly my favorite, but she was someone I wanted to be. Using my natural ability to fight…I had broken several bones trying to learn it, but I had mimicked many moves I had seen Ty Lee use…though, I still couldn't get the pressure points right.

"you still haven't answered the question" I said, looking at her.

She looked thoughtful "hmm…I'd have to go with…"

Katara!

The tent flaps opened as I saw a head peek in, and I recognized her immediately. As my vison grew dark, I saw her turn and call for someone. One last thought passed through my mind before I passed out. I knew why I recognized her…I was in the Avatar world.

Note: I know this is long, but if you don't feel like reading it, skip to the last paragraph

Hi all! The reason I had struggled so much with this is because there were several things that will make this a lot harder to write. First off is it's a tv series, so I've never experienced any part of it as an engaged person, it was a story that's laid out flat. Which brings me to the second point, characters. The characters are easy enough to portray, and I know more or less the personality of each, but I've had few more than a hand full of characters at any time that weren't my own, so writing them can be tough. The next one, which can be fixed, is that I don't quite remember the whole series. In fact, there are many points that I've completely forgotten, and having to watch half an hour just to write a story is rather…unappealing.

That brings me to the final and most important reason I am hesitant to write this. As I said, there's no first or second person experience, a show is third person only, unless narrated into second. Which leaves the problem of story bending. Though my final resolve, and much of my inspiration, comes from a different fanfiction, that fanfiction brought to my attention something I've never had to deal with: changing a story as a character. If I write this story, much of it will stay the same, but for me to write it, especially if I am to write it well, some of it needs to change. I have a few things I know of that I want different, but some of them I don't know how to implement, or even if I should. This is where I'm stuck.

Though originally I wasn't going to do this, with how well-written this prologue turned out (I thought it would be worse), I've decided that I will post this chapter, but no more until I get feedback, then I'll decide what to do.

I may need help with this story, but I'll do my best without it if needed, I just want to know I'll have someone reading before I take on such a task. Normally I'd have my normal "sign off", but because of the unusual occasion, it doesn't quite strike me to do so. I want to reiterate that I need feedback of some sort, enough so that I feel I won't be writing just for myself, either in the form of a review or a pm (please don't flood me with PMs), or I may not write any more at all.

Have a lovely day, and see you later!
