Unfaithful
Disclaimer: Here's my second chapter. I hope I get more reviews!
"Hey you!" I heard someone yell. I dropped the sand and turned around. I looked straight into a pair of blue-gray eyes. They belonged to a boy my age that wore some sort of water bender uniform. I never had seen one because Waseca never was involved with the war. He wore his hair up in a short ponytail that seemed like he hadn't brushed it or washed it in a while. He seemed out of breath but he ran at me anyway.
"Are you a native?" he asked. I had to think fast. If I said I wasn't then he'd get suspicious. If I said I was then I'd have to help him around the island or whatever he wanted.
"Uh…Yes I am." I said.
"Good. We need food do you know where some shops are or something?" He smiled at me sweetly.
"Yea just follow me. Hey, what's your name?" I asked him.
"Sokka. What's yours?" he asked and stuck out his hand. Sokka…Sokka…Sokka…oh yes. Azula told me about him. The water tribe warrior.
"Kaori." I said. We shook hands. I winced. Obviously they didn't have soap. I wiped my hand on my dress and smiled back at him.
"So let's find that food." He said and raised his fist up heroically. I giggled. I walked through the endless streets of Kopi Island. You'd think it wasn't very populated for the size of the island.
"Are you sure you know the way?" he asked me. Oh great he's on to me.
"Yea I'm just trying new streets to try new… hey look there's a shop!" I pointed to a small booth with several tropical fruits. I felt a pit in my stomach. It looks just like the kinds of booths at Waseca. There is no more Waseca anymore though.
"Let's see. How about a papaya, a pineapple, and three pears." Sokka took out his knapsack and pulled out a sack of coins. He set out a few silver pieces and one gold.
"Thank you." The shopkeeper said and she handed him the fruit.
"Are you a vegetarian or something?" I asked him.
"What? No," he looked shocked. Guys. "I'm going to trade this for some good ol' meat!" he smiled.
"Whatever." I said. Dad… What about mom too? Man I have to stop thinking about this. We stopped by a trading booth and Sokka traded the papaya and pears for some kind of odd quail. He popped it in his knapsack and we trotted along out of the streets.
"So why are you here?" I asked.
"Uh well…can you keep a secret?" he asked. We headed towards the forests of the island.
"Of course I can." I said. He took me by the arm and we ran to a clearing. There he is. The Avatar.
"Oh hi Sokka!" he said. He locked eyes with me. Apparently I was gawking at him because he hid behind the log. "Sokka can I have a word with you?" he signed for him to go over there. Sokka hurried over there.
"Who is she and what is she doing here?" Aang whispered into Sokka's ear.
"Oh, well. She's a native and she's trust-worthy. I can tell." Sokka smiled.
"You can't even tell if a plant is poisonous or not"
"Hey! Just trust me she's okay." The two boys came up from the log.
"Hey I'm Aang what's your name?" Aang shot out his hand. I shook it.
"I'm Kaori." I said. Everyone greeted each other the same way. There was Aang, Sokka, Katara, and Toph. Toph was the wanted earth bender. Azula told me that she'd like to capture her too. I feel guilty though. They actually trust me.
Aang and Sokka took off to find some more food while Katara, Toph, and I stayed in the clearing. We were all just lying around and talking.
"So why do they call it Kopi island?" Toph asked me and kicked up some dirt.
"I don't know. You have to ask the elders." I said. I threw some more branches into the fire. Katara took out a water-bending scroll and studied it. She took her gourd-like water canteen and bended out half the water. She swiftly circled the water around her. She then froze it. It looked beautiful. I looked over at Toph. She was staring at me. Well she can't see but whatever. She gave me one of the weirdest looks, like a cat sniffing out a stranger. She looked away and faced the boys.
"Hey guys we're back." Sokka waved at us. Aang popped up behind him with a bag labeled Bilberries. I jumped up for joy and clapped my hands. My mom used to make the best bilberry pastries. I stuck my hand into the bag and grabbed a handful. Aang smiled and tied the bag back up. He threw it by Katara and she melted the ice, putting it back in the canteen.
"Hey Katara? Is that a new water-bending move?" Aang sat down by her.
"Yea. Do you like it?" she asked him. You could tell they liked each other. They were just too blind to notice. Sokka threw more wood into the fire. Toph stood up suddenly.
"Something's coming." Toph's ears moved to the deeper forest parts. A large shadow with glowing green eyes stared into mine. A chill traveled down my spine. It charged right at us. I screamed and bended up a large dirt clump. Toph took a large boulder and threw it at the creature. She was much younger than me but she was more experienced. I flung the clump at it. It flew backwards and hit a sycamore tree. It was a saber cougar, one of the many large cats native to this island.
"A little help here you guys!" Toph said impatiently. Aang jumped up and blew the saber cougar back deeper into the woods.
"Thanks. I didn't even have to lift a finger." Sokka said smiling. I walked over to the log he sat on and kicked it over.
"Ha. Now you do." I giggled. Sokka climbed back on to the log. He got his boomerang and chased me around with it.
"You'll pay for that!" he kept laughing. I ran to the beach and bended a bunch of sand up. I flicked it in his face and he tripped. I laughed and ran back to the clearing. Sokka came back and everyone sat down.
"So anybody have any good stories?" I asked.
" I do!" Sokka waved his hand in the air crazily.
"Yes Sokka?" I asked.
"Okay. One day I was trying to catch a little meat creature in the forest and…" Sokka started but Katara covered his mouth.
"We heard this one before." She said. Sokka licked her hand and she pulled it away.
"Ha!" Sokka laughed. Katara shoved him and he fell to the ground again. I laughed then started to yawn.
"Hey I'm going to go to sleep now 'kay?" I said and pulled out a sleeping bag."
"Sure." Aang said. I smiled and closed my eyes. Sokka and Katara kept arguing so it was hard to sleep. I finally fell into a deep sleep. Unfortunately it wasn't going to last long.
