Alright I've decided to go back to this story and work on it
This is a oneshot I had written back months ago when the "Puppetmaster" had first come out and I never really finished it. So I just finished writting it last night and am now posting it in the morning the next day. As you can properaly tell I based this story off of what I thought happened after the puppetmaster ended. I will also be writting a bunch of oneshots maybe mini stories here of all ratings and Genre.
Hurt
She was hurt,
She wished that all of this could have been a nightmare. One that could easily be forgotten so it wouldn't pain her so much and make herself get so worked up she'd end up vomiting.
But what happened wasn't a dream it was real and no matter how much she wished it wasn't so she could just wake up and forget all this had happened there was nothing she could do.
It pained her friends to see her like this especially Aang and Sokka, to see her this way so scared and fragile, was absolutely sickening, especially at the thought that it could have been prevented. Ever since what had happened earlier that night Katara hadn't been herself, keeping herself secluded from the rest of the group, and refused any attempt to let anyone in to comfort her. As they flew away from that town with that witch of a lady Hama. Hama the witch that had given the girl the art of blood bending one she wished so badly to un- learn. The art in which had been bestowed upon her against her will with the power to control one by reaching side and making them do ones bidding ,it made her feel so dirty. Katara stayed curled up in a ball at the edge of the sattle, her head buried in her knees as she cried heart retching sobs. Her shoulders shaking as she choked on her own tears.
"G.get out of m.my head" she cried to herself as all she saw was Hama's face. Her cackling, monstrous laugh echoed through her head as her last word's to Katara echoed even louder:
"Congratulations, Katara. You're a bloodbender"
Katara's shoulders shook from the voice of her sobs. Her once bright blue eyes now a blueish-gray and her face, stained with fallen tears. No matter how hard she tried her thought couldn't escape from Hama's grasp. All she saw was the smug look of satisfaction that was followed by the simple word that was tearing her apart.
'Bloodbender'
'You're a blood bender'
That whispery ghost voice echoed loudly in her head over and over again until it sent shivers up her spine
'Bloodbender'
'You're a blood bender'
"Get out of my head please.. . Please just stop", Katara cried out suddenly her voice was shaky and she
Choked back tears as she stared up at the pale silver yellow-ish moon. More tears fell stinging her eyes as the wind blew strong, whipping her face with the bitter cold that felt like lashes against her skin. That laugh of that witches satisfaction kept ringing in her head and her face just wouldn't go away.
Again Katara broke down once again sobbing, pulling her legs closer to her chest now as she buried her head in her knees tears falling freely once again. She felt nauseous and her stomach felt weird and a weird feeling pasted over her but she tried very hard not to vomit. Then she felt it rush up her throat and into her mouth but caught herself and swallowed. She felt like she was going to gag, her throat felt like it was on fire but she soon forgot all about her burning throat when those words once again echoed in her head in that ghostly whisper and she broke down crying again.
Just then Aang awoke to the sound of someone crying. He sat up and looked over, and not to surprised to find it was Katara. Her shoulders shook as she cried, he could barely stand it, to watch her like that, it made his heart ache he just had to do something anything to make her feel better.
'I should really do something she's in so much pain . . . . But what if she tries to push me away like earlier?', he sighed 'If that was me she'd be the first person there for me, I've got to try'.
So he rose and carefully made his way over to where she sat sobbing careful not to wake either Toph or Sokka.
."Katara?"
Her sobs died down just a little bit and she turned to a face him. Her eyes were blood shot and her face was tear stained, with more still flowing freely. She asked him her voice trembling "Yes Aang".
"I heard you crying and I came to see if you were alright"
She felt the heat in her cheeks rise and they became a bright pink, but she turned her head away and looked down sadly and replied trying hard not to choke but her voice was shaky "Aang I.. I'm fine".
"I know you better than that Katara, I know you good enough to know that something's wrong. Please Katara you've got everyone worried sick about you, I know what Hama had done to you and I understand why your so upset but look on the bright side if you hadn't used blood bending to stop Hama I'd be dead" he told her softly, trying his best to comfort her and he knelt down beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder reassuringly..
For a few moments Katara said nothing just sat staring off into nothing before finally saying "I know your right Aang" she then turned towards him "I need to look more towards the bright side of things". Then she sighed "But I just can't".
"But why Katara?", he asked her concerned and puzzled a little bit.
She looked up at him with her big Cerulean eyes, prickling with silver tears, that slid down her cheeks slowly. Katara said her voice cracking, "Don't you get it? I'm a bloodbender I can control people like some demon monster. I feel so horrible Aang!".
Aang stared at her his soft, worried and caring eyes. He couldn't think of anything to say. So he just hugged her. She stiffened in surprise and because she wasn't used to people trying to comfort her, normally it was her comforting them, but soon she relaxed into the embrace and hugged him back. Katara whispered miserably into his shirt.
"I'm a monster"
Hearing this he hugged her tighter and told her reassuringly "No your not Katara"
"Yes I am", came his reply weakly and she began to sob quietly.
This time he pulled away and placed both hand on her shoulders and held her an arms distance away, looking her right in the eye.
"No your not a monster Katara your a kind and wonderful person and Hama had no right to do what she did to you", he said sternly, she stared at him teary eyed, then turning he head to look down to the bottom of the saddle. Squeezeing her eyes tightly, a few tears dropped onto her dress. As she looked away Aang took one hand and lifted her chin, so she was once again staring directly into his soft gray eyes full of understanding.
He continued.
"But there's no need to beat yourself up over it Katara, we're all here to help you and we'd never let anything bad ever happen to you: Me, Sokka and Toph. So please try to understand, beating yourself up over this is only going to make things worse. Besides you aren't anything like Hama was or ever is your kind and caring and smart and an all round wonderful person".
She stared up at him tears flowing, and her blue orbs staring up at him solemnly as she processed what he had just said.. Then she smiled and he pulled her into a hug happily, she melted into the embrace and she whispered
"Thank you"
Sometimes it takes a great friend,
To make the biggest of differences,
And to show us the way.
For without them what would we do?
What do you think.
