Chapter 1
Silent tears ran down the Aquaria sibling's faces and their father through in the first handful of dirt into their mother's grave. Young Katara Aquaria was only seven years old when her mother was murdered by men from a gang called Flame. Her brown hair was neatly braided down her back and was long enough to brush the top of her tail-bone. She had softly tanned skin and eyes the colour of the sky on a clear day. Her brother, a sarcastic technology enthusiast with a huge love for meat, stood to her left with a hand on a shoulder. He kept his hair in an old fashioned but popular style that he called a 'warrior-wolf tail'. Katara's best friend, Aang, stood to her other side. He was a younger boy with grey eyes and average skin. His head was shaved clean and arrows were painted along his body, like the ones painted on his pet. A flying dog called Appa. Katara made a silent oath to her mother, to never let anyone get her by the evil Flame gang again.
Eight years passed and the trio had been sent to Ba Sing Se High School. It was their first year there as their old school, a secondary school in the South Pole called SnowAcres, had been closed down due to lack of funding. That was happening to a lot of the businesses in the south. However, Hakoda Aquaria's fishing company was still strong. Strong enough, at least, to support two young people in another country at school. Katara, Aang and Sokka shared an apartment in the lower ring of Ba Sing Se. Sokka had installed a hidden camera outside of the door so they could tell who was knocking. They had another roommate though. A blind girl who's parents had unwillingly sent their only daughter to the best high school in the entire earth kingdom. Far better then even home tutors could teach. Toph was her name and her independence was her biggest feature. She was quite unladylike for someone who was from such a high class society and was only the same age as Aang, who was still in the lower years.
The four of them sat in Jets car. A seventeen year old who was expelled from BSS High a while ago. He was nice enough to them to drop them off at the schools they went to, saving them from walking the dangerous walk through the lower circle where they lived to the upper. Even though at first Sokka hated him, he and Jet were now close friends.
"Hey, did you watch the news this morning, Jet? Another guy got arrested for being a bender!" He whooped slightly.
"Yeah. Stupid benders. Their time is so over now." Laughed Jet lightly. Katara couldn't help but sulk back in her seat. Her GranGran was young in the war and hated it. The war had killed the man she loved. Katara had always agreed with GranGran on that. Toph totally didn't care, but Aang was more seriously upset. It was the second war where Air nomads had been targeted, just after barley recovering from the last one. The avatar of that time had fallen for his Earth Bending teacher. There hadn't been an avatar heard of since the start of the Bending War.
That lunchtime, Katara and her friend Suki shared a table outside in the late summer heat. Everyone except Sokka knew that the World Champion Kyoshi fighter had a huge crush on Sokka, but he was too oblivious to notice it. There was also the small point that he had recently lost his last girlfriend. A pretty girl named Yue who died in a school run expeditions to the abandoned land of the North Pole. Suki was a pretty girl with short brown-black hair and darker blue eyes then the Aquaria family members. She was pretty much a tomboy at times. Katara was happily eating a prawn-mayo sandwich whilst Suki had a plate of fries. The duo were contentedly chattering on about nothing important when the princess of the fire nation and her two best friends arrived. Her name was Azula. She had dark brown hair and gold eyes. Similarities of her heartless father was clear in her form and personality.
"Get off of our bench peasants!" She ordered bitterly. Katara and Suki just glared up at her.
"Why should we?" Snarled Suki at her, her blue eyes narrowing. Her eyes then darted across the faces of Azula's side kicks, Mia and Ty Lee. The first one mentioned, a dark haired light gold eyes girl with a dark gothic personality, just remained neutral and bored where as Ty Lee, an energetic young lady with brown hair, grey eyes and fantastic gymnastic skills, looks irritated
"Because I am a princess and I what this bench! I always get what I want." Darkly replied Azula. Katara groans slightly, but gets up.
"Come on, Suki, we'll go and sit in the field instead." She sighs. Suki scowls at Azula and her crones again, but gets up and follows her friend anyways.
A/N: O.K, Its short and has a lot of description. Gets better next time (I hope)
