So The summary was definately not long enough to describe this story! It has major action and Adventure and has been known to bring a little tear to the eye every once and a while. ;-D Its quite long and not at all smutty, so if thats what your looking for I'm super dooper sorry! (I know I read them too! haha) But the romance in this is sweet and innocent, but passionate and endearing. A good Adventure read with twists and turns and definate "OH NO KATARA!!" and "WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?!?" moments. lol Enjoy and Please Review as much as possible! Thank you!
He stood in front of the town gates, breathing slowly, trying to calm himself. He was about to get the avatar. His glory would be restored. His father… His father would… Well he'd worry about that later. But just thinking about what he was about to do made his face flush with excitement. He could finally do it, catch the avatar.
Something burned at the back of his mind. He could see his mothers face, kind and curved into a kind smile. He could also see that stupid child flying around on his stupid kite, laughing and smiling too... Innocent, like he himself could never be again.
He sighed heavily. He would do it. There was no other way. He was in too deep to stop now. He pulled up the hood on his cloak and began to walk through the open gates.
"Aang? Aang, where are you?" Katara's voice rang out through the small market place. There were only a handful of people milling about the cobbled street, but Katara couldn't find her small bald companion. "Aang?"
"Right here Katara! Don't' worry, I was just buying this awesome shirt!" He motioned to his new attire.
"Aang, that's a dress," said Sokka, to Katara's right, "And not even a very nice one either."
"Whatever, I think its awesome battle gear!" Aang said striking a silly pose, which was magnified by Momo landing on his head at that moment. They all laughed.
"Come on guys we gotta move on," said Katara looking around, "We said we'd meet Toph by the river." The other two nodded and began to walk away with her.
He could see them talking. The tall boy was inspecting a selection of knives at a nearby stand as he listened half-heartedly to his sister. She looked worried, the waterbender girl. What was her name? Katara? He thought so. Katara kept looking over her shoulder every minute or so. She never looked directly at him as he prowled around in the shadows, but she came very close. She was wary. He hated that. Usually they were all care free and lightly protected, but now… This waterbender girl aggravated him. But even as he thought this he knew that he would be doing the same. He remembered their last face to face encounter, and winced. He had tied her up and stolen her mother's necklace from her. She must hate him fiercely… He saw the avatar approach them, wearing something ridiculous. He would have laughed out loud if the situation had not been so dire. How could this silly youth be defeating the fire nation time and time again? The group laughed. Were they laughing at him? His fruitless attempts thus far to capture such a childlike entity. He shifted uneasily as the girl looked towards him. He saw her face clearly. Her face with its taned and golden skin, high cheekbones, piercing blue eyes, and small pouting lips, quick to smile as well as frown. He felt strange, his face warming and his stomach turning.
Stop it! He thought to himself as the group trotted away. You are on a mission, do not get distracted! He gathered his wits and began to follow them slowly.
