O.c. application will be close when I reach chapter 6, come on readers review me some characters.

I stomped through the snow in hurry; if I didn't hurry I would miss my boat. It was very early in the morning; the sun was glistening on the ice and the air had a layer of frost. I had to help my friend Ao fish before the blizzard hit. Life was never easy in the capital city of the North. In my neighborhood, most people fished because it was an important part of their diet and it was a good way to make money. I personally enjoyed fishing because when I was in the water I felt powerful. I was a water bender; almost everyone in the city was...

"Fuyu, hurry up!" Ao shouted from the boat. His coarse brown hair hung from his forehead with his cobalt blue eyes peeking from underneath. He was dressed from head to toe in layers of blue colored clothes; whoever was stupid enough not to dress warmly will literally freeze to death out here. I finally reached the small boat and jumped on before it left. "What took you so long?" just like him to ask, I blushed and rubbed the back of my head; not wanting to tell him that I overslept again. He smirked despite my lack of answer, since he already knew the answer to his question. He snickered mumbling something that had to do with blondes. I glared at him and playfully punched his arm. We always fished early so that other people wouldn't compete with us, and it was fun fishing with Ao. He is my best friend; we had known each other since we were in diapers. Our mothers were close friends so obviously we are best friends too. Ever since we turned thirteen, our parents decided that we were old enough to go without being guarded. It was our tradition for us to fish early every morning, but sadly it was also tradition for me to always be late. I could never seem to wake up when I wanted. We fished until fishermen started coming and crowding the water. It was then we heard a low moaning sound that came from underneath the ocean. In front of our boat was a dark shadow that got larger as it began to rise to the surface. When the great creature broke the surface and flew into the air, I couldn't believe it. It was a massive whale-like creature, but it had a fin where a blowhole should have been, and its teeth were razor sharp, almost like a shark's.

"Whoa! A whale shark!" Ao shrieked, jumping up in the boat. "Oh shit, WATCH OUT GUYS!" he screamed, hands flailing. The giant creature swam into a large boat in its way, snapping it in half easily. People fell into the frigidly cold water; they tried to climb the pieces of ice floating on the surface. The whale shark jumped and plummeted back down into the ocean with a huge explosion of water. I saw many people who were trying to swim get dragged under the water. I took a deep breath of water and jumped into the frigid water; Ao also jumped in after me and started to swim to the closest person. I used my Water bending to move forward toward the great beast, to try to chase it away somehow. I managed to grab onto it by some means. As soon as the creature bolted, I held on for dear life as the beast flew forward with incredible speed. The beast dived in the water and thrashed violently. I tried to control the beast. I was thrown off into water when the shark whipped around and tried to swallow me whole. I used my water bending powers to hastily propel myself towards the surface of the water and out of the shark's reach. When I broke the surface, I took a deep breath and was hit by the shark's force of the attack sent me back into the freezing water; my whole body was starting to feel numb from both the hit and the temperature. I swam to the surface and froze a large area of the water surface; creating a sheet of thick ice on the surface. I had extended the ice until I had managed to trap the whale shark on the frozen part. I slowly went over to the creature and lightly touched its side. I concentrated on trying to communicate with it. My master told me about water benders being able to communicate with animals of the oceans; I didn't really believe it, but I was curious. To my utter surprise the beast stopped thrashing and hummed softly. I turned the ice back into water; the whale shark dived deep into the water and swam away.

"Whoa, is it really possible?" I looked at my hands; I noticed that I was trembling violently. I had stayed in the frigid water for too long and snowy winds were blowing about.

"Fuyu, where are you?" I heard the distant shouting of Ao, and I started to swim towards the direction of his voice. Ao hauled me on board and wrapped a heavy blanket around me and he steered the boat to the docks.

"How did you manage to chase the shark away?" he asked when I wasn't shivering anymore, instantly reminding me of what I had done.

"Ao, you won't belief what I did" I said my voice shrill with excitement. He looked at me in wonder after I had finished narrating what I did while I was alone with the shark.

"We have to tell master Kiku as soon as possible." He said just as excited. We grinned at each other as we got to the docs and started to unload. We divided the fish, and chatted all the while. Neither of us noticed the arctic winds pick up speed. Snow was blowing harshly, making everything in its path a fluffy white.

"Oh shit, we'd better hurry." Ao said as we both rush to carry the fish to our respective houses after bidding the other farewell. When I arrived at my house I was tackled to the ice floor.

"Shinju-chan, where have you been?" asked my mother; she pulled me inside the oversized igloo. Her blonde hair framed around a cinnamon brown face, with bright cerulean blue eyes. "I talked with a whale shark" I told her. She looked at me and nodded as if she was already aware of my accomplishment. She smiled a knowing smile as she gently guided me to our living room...

I was getting ready for bed, when I noticed it. The arrow-like birthmarks on the back of my hands were glowing; I screamed until my parents ran into my room and tried to calm me down. When they saw my glowing hands they exchanged worried looks; I had never suspected that my parents would ever hide anything from me. Apparently I was wrong.

"Fuyu, it's okay." My father said soothingly, and pushed me onto my bed. I could tell that they could see my shocked expression; when they traded guilty glances. I had seen something like this happen and it was at school. Only one person in the world had glowing birthmarks like mine, and that said person was the dead avatar Aang. None of the avatars children or grandchildren had the birth marks. I had never even suspected that something like this could happen, even though I knew I had something only the strongest person in the world had. That is how impossible it should have been for me, the daughter of average water benders like me to get something like this.

"Mom, dad what's going on?" I asked. I suddenly got this feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach…

Cliff-hanger… you must hate me now. So what do you think, did you guys like it? Please review, review, and review. I will try to upload this every week, but remember that I have school and since I take AP courses, I don't have a lot of free time.
