Part 2: Blood

Disclaimer: First of all, I was nine when both of these came out. I'm a girl so I can't b JP. And I'm still to young to own a TV show.
Note: Sorry if my writing sucks. Since I was a baby I've been around an anti-social family. So I'm not really sure what u people like.

Katara looked at the wound. It was almost as bad as when Zuko got struck by lightning, but it was unlike anything she's ever seen before. The cut was almost perfectly round and small, but for such a small wound, it was really fatal.

"Come with me" She said. "One of you will have to carry her, so she doesn't hurt herself more."

The darker haired boy picked her up bridal style. She crossed her arms, and looked a little bit annoyed.

"Fang" She warned

"Fine" He said. He threw her over his shoulder instead. Katara was about to say something about how it might make it worse, but she didn't want to make her miserable.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?" She complained.

"Yes," said Fang " First because you crack me up, and second, you finally can't boss me around."

"Zuko?" Said Katara, but Zuko was gone.

"It's okay," said the little girl " He'll come back, because he can't stand not being around for more than a week."

"What are you talking about?" Katara asked confused.

"You're just like Max and Fang" she muttered "so clueless."

"What did you say Angel?" Said Fang

"Uh, so fearless." She came up with.

"Uh huh, sure."

"What's going on with those two?" Katara asked

I'll tell you later when they aren't around. Katara heard in her head. What

Did you just read my mind? She thought back.

Not only did I read your mind, I put a thought into your head, she answered.

Katara just shook her head.

"We going or what? Asked the blonde haired older kid.

"Yes" said Katara "I just got... distracted."

"What talking to your leader?"

"Iggy, just stop, she's going to help us." Said Angel.

Iggy? Thought Katara.

Yeah, I'm the only one with a normal name, besides Max, but she's a girl. Thought Angel.

Katara started leading the group towards the palace. She heard a bunch of murmurs from them. Katara thought of something, people might ask questions about wings.

"Uh, before people see you, you might want to hide your wings." She suggested "If there's any way you can"

They all nodded and their wings pulled neatly into their backs. This was so amazing. I mean real live birdkids. But she knew she shouldn't ask many questions about it, since they probably had to tell their life story over and over again.

Even though they had their wings hidden, people still stared. Probably their strange clothes, that was also something that was really different about them.

Katara brought them to a quiet section of the palace, where no one was likely to bother them. There was two rooms, fairly large, one for the girls one for the boys. Each one had a couch and two beds. So there was enough sleeping space for them.

"You're probably used to much nicer conditions, because of your, uh, unique ability." Katara said.

Iggy snorted.

Why is he doing that? Katara asked Angel.

We've had to sleep in cages before, we were part of an experiment, so we were numbers to them, not people, Angel explained.

Katara was shocked, who would do that to a person? Oh yeah, the fire nation before this war ended. She mentally slapped herself, this was her home now, or second home, stop thinking badly of it.

Max gasped for air. She was getting worse fast. Fang gently laid her on one of the beds and lifted her shirt up to check the wound. Now the blood was flowing even faster than before.

"Angel, Can you go get some water?" Asked Katara.

"What good is water going to do?" She asked Katara

"You'll see," she said. She needed to get in the zone for it. It would take her about two or three minutes, the amount of time it would take for Angel to get the water.

Toph came in looking confused.

What's going on?" She asked.

"I need you to get this thing out of her stomach." Ordered Katara.

"What's in it for me?" She asked

"You'll probably be saving a life." Katara said.

"I guess that could work." Agred Toph.

The thing in her stomach was metal, so if Toph got it out, then she would be able to heal it faster.

"Wait, said Fang, I'm not going to let a little girl reach in and get it."

" That's not what she's going to do." Katara assured him, where were these people from? It's like they'd never heard og bending before.

Toph looked annoyed and ticked off.

"Some other time, she needs help." Katara pleaded.

Toph lifted the thing from Max's stomach. What the heck was it?

"I got it" said Angel, carrying a pitcher of water with her.

"Thanks Angel."

Katara lifted the water from the pitcher and placed it on Max's stomach. The kids, except for Toph looked amazed and shocked. The bleeding stopped, but her pain didn't. It'd be awhile before it did. But most likely she'd survive. Now, she had to clean the mess up on the floor, if she didn't want anyone else to find out about them, besides, the gaang and Uncle Iroh.
