Still

I hold her body gently in my arms, cradling her head against my chest. Her naturally pale skin was white and had lost its glow. Her skin was cold – all of her was cold. Her lips, once pressed against mine, were like ice.

The rise and fall of her chest was gone, her breath, vanished, her body lying still in my arms.

I felt the tear travel down my cheek and fall away from my face. I held her to me, tightly, the only thing I could do. My heart kept beating, but hers... it stayed still.

When her body disappeared and she became the Moon Spirit, my heart broke in two. I'd promised her father that I would protect her, and in that I had failed.

I promised myself that night, that I would never fall in love again; that my heart, much like hers, would forevermore, remain still.


I really don't mind Sokka and Yue... their short time together was really sweet. This sorta just came to me.

Hope you liked it. Please review.
