I woke up slowly and I laid there for a moment. Then I slowly opened my eyes.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" i yelled in surprise, because the first thing I saw was a face, inches from my own. "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! Yeash get a grip! KATARA! SHE'S AWAKE!" the last was in a yell, obviously not directed at me. "Yea I figured" said the girl who rescued me coming thru the tent flap. "hey." She said. "Sorry about my brother, he is just suspicious of you. About three hours after I got you back here, a bunch of fire nation guards came thru here, talking about a girl who fit your description."

"Sorry about that, they've been on my tail since omashu." I said apologetically.

They stared at me.

"What?" I asked cocking my head to the side.

She opened her mouth to answer, when someone flung open the tent flap.

"I heard screaming, is everyone alright?" he asked. I just stared at him while 'katara' answered "we're all ok, sokka just scared this poor girl out of her wits." She said "oh by the way, what's your name?" she asked directing the question at me. "Unix" I said without looking away from the new boy, or rather his tattoos. Arrows. "This is aang" katara said following my gaze. My eyes went blank for a moment and I mentally grined. I then smothed my expression. The new boy aang, looked at me curiously "do I know you? You look familiar." He stated. I shrugged "I don't know, not unless you saw a wanted poster"

Katara frowned, "why do they want you? You don't seem the type to get fire nation attention."

I winced "yea about that-" she cut me off "if you don't want to tell its ok."

I shrugged "its ok, you disserve to know… well its kind of complicated, and a little hard to explain…" I thought about it for a minute, and said "well I guess the best way to start I to show you." I sighed and got to my feet slowly walking out the tent flap. We were in a little clearing. I nodded my head in approval, it was perfect for what I wanted to do. I quickly walked to the center, waving them back when they tried to follow. i studied the ground for a minute then I picked up apiece if wood in one hand, and a handful of dry dirt in the other I stood up strait my hands in fist around the dirt and wood, stretched out as far away from each other as I could get them. For a moment I clutched my hands even tighter together as I focus myself. And then, my eyes flew open and I slammed my fists together, hard. A column of air and fire swirled over my hands, intertwining and separating, like flowering vines. This was the reason I had picked up the dust, to make the air more visible. Suddenly a huge wave washed over me. "Ahhhh!" I yelled as I hit the ground. "Ow! Ow! OW! I Still Have Bruises! OW!" I yelled loudly as I hopped up and down clutching my butt. "Sorry, Unix. Your hair was on fire." Katara said clearly trying not to laugh at me. I scowled "at the very least WARN ME." I complained, still rubbing my butt. Then I sighed "aang, this by the way, was the reason I was staring at you" I said softly, "I need an airbending teacher."

"I don't know if that would work, Unix. Right now me katara, and sokka, are trying to track down an old friend who might be a good firebending teacher." Said aang.

I forced my expression into a curious one. "what do you need a firebending teacher for?" I asked although I already knew the answer.

He bit his lip and looked at katara, and sokka. "What do you think guys? Should we tell her?" he asked them. They nodded "okay then, well… the reason I need a firebending teacher, is because… I'm the avatar." I smiled and said: "actually I already knew that; I just had to get you say it." They gaped at me. "b-but how?" katara stuttered.

I sighed. "I get flashes of intuition. Not often, just to help me along with my life when I need help, or am stuck, or, very rarely, information that is very important that will change my life. It's not much, though."

For a moment, no one spoke. Then slowly sokka asked: "when did it first happen?" I thought about it for a second and then said, "I think the first time, was when it warned me not to step on the sixth step on a rope bridge, that it would break. Sadly I didn't know what to do with the information, and the next day a little boy from the village fell through the step, and drowned in the river. I still feel guilty for not telling anybody about it." Katara looked thoughtful "how did you get them? I mean how did you get the power to get them?" I bit my lip nervously. "well, when I was about five years old I had I dream. It went like this-''

flashback

Five year old Unix was walking thru the forest. And walking, and walking. Until suddenly a bright light appeared ahead. She ran and ran, with renewed hope and determination, towards the light. And just when she didn't think she could go any farther, she stumbled into a clearing. In front of her, there were two figures standing there smiling. It took her a moment to figure out that they were the sources of the light. One of them was a girl who looked rather like and older version of Unix the other was also clearly and air bender, by his tattoos. He looked about twelve years old. The two were obviously spirits. The weird thing was, even though they were so different in appearance, they could pass as twins. They said in unison: "The spirits have finally found you" then the girl said: "you were born an equal to a special spirit." Then the boy said: you have a long journey ahead of you" then them together again: "Unix daughter of the elements" the girl again: "except the spirits gift" the girl walked into Unix and melded into her spirit. The boy: "and find me in the avatar" he moved away from her and into the forest.

"umm… 'find me in the avatar'?" aang asked, slightly nervously.

I grimaced. "yea. And I know what it means, too." He looked at me. "what does it mean?" he asked me. I sat down and crossed my legs, patting the grass in front of me. He hesitated and sat facing towards me, also crossing his legs. I took a deep breath. I then looked up at sokka and katara. "be prepared to catch us." I told them. They nodded and sat behind us. Then I held my hands out to aang, palms up. An invitation. He took a deep breath and put his hands on mine. The last think I saw was aang falling backward were sokka caught him, before I myself blacked out
