Aang and the owl chapter 2
Aang poked his head out the door. No owl, exellent. Ever since the first encounter with the owl, Aang has been so cautious he was close to being paranoid... If he wasn't already. Taking a slow, cautious step outside, Aang looked around some more. The trees were empty, and so was the sky. There was practically nothing living outside, aside from insects and mice.
That was very strange. No people. IT WAS THE OWL! No, it's just an owl. But then again...
Suddenly Katara came up behind him, "Hi Aang! Are you finally over that owl obsession of yours?" only to get blasted with a gush of air, ruining her hair. "Oh! Katara, sorry! You scared me, I thought-" Aang stammered, "You thought what? That I was the 'Demon Owl'?" Katara was still mad about the owl thing. "Well, yeah... and hey! That's actually the perfect name for it too!" he smiled.
"No it is NOT! Aang it is an owl!" Katara said to him slowly and angerly. Aang just stood there, dazed. It was not JUST an owl, it was THE DEMON owl. Maybe he could prove it to her, but how?
"Ok, ok, it's JUST an owl." Aang said unconvincingly. Katara decided to take it as an understanding, "Good. Now go get some food from the market, there's a list in the basket." she said, and handed Aang the basket. He took it unhappily and moped off, muttering about chores and why people need food all the time.
When he got to the market, there were a fair amount of people there. All were talking and laughing, having a good time it seemed. But Aang was a different story completely. Shaking, wide-eyed Aang made his way over to the stands cautiously, waiting for the owl to strike.
He was surprised when the owl was a no-show. Aang laughed victoriously and skipped back to Katara's house in the little village they had moved to when... CAW! *swoop* "AAAAAHHHHHH!"
The owl swooped in on Aang's head and he fell to the ground with a thud. All of the food in the basket was scattered along the path now, but Aang didn't mind that at the moment. This was his chance!
The owl turned and swooped again, only this time, to get caught in the shopping basket! Aang tied down the lid and ran as fast as he could to Katara, which only took a few seconds.
"KATARA! KATARA I HAVE IT I HAVE IT!" Aang ran up to Katara and opened the basket. Katara shrieked in surprise and the owl that came flying out of the basket toward her.
Aang shut his eyes, fearing the most. Then, he heared something he thought he would never hear in any situation like this... Laughter. He opened his right eye, then his left, to discover the owl sitting all nice and pretty like on Katara's arm. It cooed as she pat it's head, and poor Aang stood there amazed. "But-" He started, but got cutt off by the owl screeching and hissing at him. "KATARA! See? It's evil and out to get me!" Aang his his face behind the basket and peeked out from behind it, thinking it would protect him from the rath of the owl.
"Aang, it's not evil. It's mad." Katara stated flatly and calmly. "Why is it mad? Does it hate sunlight?" Aang asked, not moving from his protective stance. "No. It's mad because YOU SHOVED IT INTO A BASKET!" she practically screamed, Aang flinched at her sudden harshness.
Katara continued to coo the bird while Aang sulked outside. "She doesn't believe me..." he said to himself sadly.
"...But she will..."
Aang smiled evilly to himself, plotting away in his mind.
