Chapter 2:

Ariva's Pov:

(12 years later)

I sat next to Gyatso feeling Aang airbend pies onto the Elder monks heads. Gyatso let out a hardy laugh and praised my brother. Don't get me wrong I love my brother and I'm proud of him immensely, but everyone let's him do everything but I have to sit in the sidelines and do nothing. I'm probably more advanced than every monk here. I can feel the air and feel everything they're doing. I've only told Aang of my talent.

And walked over to me and sat next to me. "Avira how are you doing?"

I smiled. "I'm fine. You've gotten better Aang."

He blushed by the feel of his cheeks. "Thank you. Hey I've got an idea!"

"What is it?"

"We sneak out and you can practice airbending. I can even teach you some new moves I've made up."

I smiled a huge grin and hopped up. "When do we leave?"

"Tonight."

I anticipated the moment I could leave this place and see where my brother would take me. I nodded and walked over to Gyatso. I breathed deeply to get his attention. He didn't turn so I decided to speak. "Monk Gyasto?"

"What do you need Avira?"

I thought and a light bulb came over my head. I new exactly what I wanted and I was going to show them just how advanced I was. They were never going to expect my plan. I smiled. "Could you make me one of your special cakes. You know the ones that you have Aang help you make."

"Why of course dear. I'll make it right away."

I smiled and walked over to my brother. He raised an eyebrow at me but I shook it off and sat back down in my seat to await my cake. Iy seemed like eternity before Gyatso came with my cake.

"Here you are. What do you want with it?"

Aang suddenly knew what I was planning and snickered quietly so Gyatso wouldn't here. I grabbed it and bended it to the place where Aang launched his. I breathed and pushed the air so the it would land squarely on Monk Pasang and Monk Tashi would get pie all over them. Gyatso and Aang laughed and held my shoulder. I laughed with them both and felt that they were getting ready to come after us. I ran to get a glider and took off with Aang.

"You've got great aim Avira!," Aang laughed.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

We flew well away from the Southern Temple. I was sure no one would follow due to the fact they knew we would go back eventually. Aand started to go down and I followed close behind. When we landed I felt someone in the undergrowth. I stopped Aang and followed the vibrations in the air.

"What are you do-," I cut him off and kept going. I then felt the presence of a girl. A water bender by the way she moves. Aang relaxed and blushed. I was surprised. Aang fell in love with a waterbender. I walked over to her and Aang followed.

"Hello. What are you going so far from home?," I asked. She froze and ran away. "Come on Aang!" I ran after and dodged every obstacle. I ran faster than even my brother, which is impressive because he's the fastest... or was until I broke his record. She eventually came to a river and launched the water at us.

"What do you want?," she asked warily.

"Where Air Nomads. We don't wish to fight you," Aang said with his hands up. I noticed that she relaxed. "I'm Aang and this is my sister Avira. What's your name?"

"Katara."

i smiled. "Nice to meet you."

"But I have to leave. My brother is in the south pole and I have to get back before the week is up. Good-bye!"

"Wait!," Aang yelled stepping forward one step before I stopped him.

"Let her go. I'm sure that she'll come back eventually."

"But she might not. She has a family."

"Well she's lucky."

"What?'

"We never know who our own parents are. We just get dumped in the temple and then the monks decide our Guardians!," I yelled walking in a circle, full of frustration. "Most of the time siblings know each other but they get separated. I don't even know why we're still together if that's the case most of the time. She get's to live with her parents and they don't leave. What about our parents? They just left us here." I fell to my knees and cried.

Aang knelt down and tried to comfort me. "Shh, shh. It's alright calm down."

I shot right up. "calm down? Calm down! How can I calm down when our parents abandoned us?"

I lost it and blacked out.

Aang's pov:

My sister's tattoos started to glow. I didn't know what to do. I just backed away a little and soon I blacked out too. I could see, hear, feel, smell, or even taste my own saliva. I was gone.

Gyatso Pov:

I was cleaning the mess that Avira made when I heard the alarm bell sound. I got up and ran to see Pasang and the rest of the Elders. I burst through the door and saw the shine from the statues from here. I knew... That the twins were in the Avatar state for the first time. I ran out of the room and grabbed my glider to see where my students were. I finally saw something glow. I went down and saw them floating in the air.

"Aang, Avira! Come back!," I cried. They triggered it somehow. And that somehow was their parents. I've come across one of them yelling about how their parents abandoned them. They were very angry and I knew they would have triggered the Avatar State if I hadn't calmed them down. "care about both of you. Don't get upset because your parents left! They did it like all the others. It's our culture. Please calm down."

They gently came back down and passed out. I held them for a long time wishing that this hadn't had happened. wishing that I kept them closer to me instead of letting them leave and go into the Avatar state. I felt them stir and I looked down to see them stare at me.

"We're sorry," Avira muttered.

"It's alright. Now come we've got to go back to the temple."
