Okay, here goes the first real chapter of 'The wind flows in unexpected ways'
The title of this chapter is just an inside joke of me and my best friend. If you ask I'll tell you about it. ^^
Forgot to mention it in the prologue, but this story takes place after the war is over, but in the real world we don't know anything about the avatar.
I also forgot the disclaimer, so here goes: I don't own 'Avatar:The last airbender' and if I did, I would surely solve the mystery around Zuko's mum and wouldn't end the series with Katara and Aang kissing. I mean, I 'm really happy they got together, but did they have to kiss and that long! Seriously what were they thinking! It's a children show!
Please enjoy. ^^
School was just over and after I went by the library, I was heading home. I hear you saying: OMG, the library! We're dealing with a geek!
Yeah I love reading, so what? It's far more fun reading something instead of seeing it on tv.
It's not like I have friends with whom I can spend the time with. It's been already two years since I moved into this town and I still don't have friends. Well I tried making some but I didn't fit in anywhere, so I'm on my own.
Like I was saying, I was heading home.
While I was walking I was reading a book I just borrowed. Yeah it's a bad habit but I can read and walk at the same time. (Don't try this at home. Leave it to professionals, like me. :D I love reading and walking at the same time!) I practically know the way home by heart so I had absolutely no troubles until halfway home.
Like always I stopped at the lights and had taken my eyes off the book to see when the lights would turn green again.
Usually I just continue reading and follow the crowd but this time the street was deserted except for the cars.
Suddenly in the middle of the pavement there was a pillar of blue light. I was surprised and didn't know what to think of it, when I saw people appear in the pillar. Seriously, I thought, an alienabduction? Did I say I love sarcasm?
The pillar dissappeared and the kids, they were hardly over 18, looked disoriented. When they were surrounded in the blue light, I couldn't really see them, but now I could, I was a bit taken aback: their clothes were really weird. I mean: were they cosplaying?
There was a bald one with some orange monk clothes on, like if he was the Dalai Lama. (No offense, just couldn't come up with a better example.) Another one, the oldest I think, was dressed as an ancient emperor. The other three were fairly normal, but I've seen more normal clothes.
'What the..' I heard mister Emperor saying.
'What are you standing in the middle of the freeway?' I yelled at them. 'Do you want to get run over?'
As a few cars headed into their direction, I swear their eyes grew as if they never saw a car.
They all started running to my side of the sidewalk, except for this one girl.
She just stood there with no sign of moving. She looked as if she was in an earthsuake, barely able to stand.
'Guys, help me.' she called. 'I can't see a thing.' 'Toph!'
Looking over at the others, I saw they were at a loss what to do, except for except for Baldy.
I didn't notice it before but he had a freaking arrow on his head which looked like a tattoo! I mean, a tattoo? On your head? Seriously, who were these guys?
He moved his arms quickly and suddenly he had a ball of air in his hands.
I mean it, it was floating and rotating and such.
'What are you doing?' Surprised by my outburst, he released the ball. 'Airbending.' he said as if it was the normalest thing.
'If you do that again, you'll be put in a freakshow.' I said before going to the girl who was left behind.
I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards me right before a car crashed into her.
When she was on the sidewalk, I checked her over. 'Are you okay?' 'Yeah, I'm fine.' 'Your face is kinda red.' 'I said I'm fine, let me go!' she answered a bit rude.
That's when I noticed her eyes just staring into the distance, not looking at anything in particular, like she was ...
'Are you crazy? How could you leave a blind girl on her own.' I bursted of on the others, who seemed to be her friends.
'Most of the time she can take care of herself just fine.' The girl with the long brown hair answered.
'Toph, are you okay?" she continued. "What happened?' 'I can't see everything clearly. There are too many vibrations and I can't seem to focus.'
'Where are we? What happened? I just remember a blue light like one of Aangs...AANG, did you have anything to do with it?'
'I swear, Sokka, I didn't do anything.' 'Well something happened to us and for the time being I'm blaming you.'
The two argued for awhile, but I didn't listen to them, 'caus the oldest guy started talking to me.
'You seem to know something. Where is this place?' I looked at him not understanding what he meant. 'Where are we?' he repeated the question.
'Is this anywhere in the Earth Kingdom? One of the water tribes?' I shaked my head. 'Maybe we are in the Fire nation?' The blind girl, named Toph, suggested.
'I would've known that, wouldn't I? Aang, are we perhaps in the spirit world?'
'That would've been possible if I was alone, but there is no way you all could've come too. At least not in a way I know of.'
'Maybe you've been transferred to another world?' I jokingly asked, not expecting they would take me serious.
'That's probably it!' The guy Baldy called Sokka said. 'We've probably been transferred by the spirits to another world!'
'Hey, I was joking. I didn't mean anything with that. There is no way, people could travel to other worlds by mere light even if there were other worlds.'
'Then how do you explain us? We don't know this place?'
'I don't know, maybe you came from a nuthouse? Or have been using drugs.'
'If this an other world, they clearly don't know of the spirits.' Longhaired girl said.
'Or of bending. This guy reacted weird when I wanted to make the airscooter.' 'Well dûh, you had a ball of air in your hands! That just isn't possible!' 'See!' Baldy exclaimed triumfantly.
'Could you help us, please? We don't know what to do.' Brown haired girl asked.
I sighed. 'Well, you seem in trouble and I do believe you're not crazy, most of you, so I guess I'll help you. You can come to my house, since you have nowhere to go.
'Really! Oh thank you!' She looked like she was about to hug me, but was stopped by Sokka.
'Wait Katara, should we trust this guy so quickly? Maybe he is the one who's behind all this?'
I was offended.
After I went all the trouble to help them and invite them to my home, even if I didn't know or trust them at all, this was what I get?
'Fine do whatever you want. I don't care.' I said and turned around to go home.
'Wait, don't listen to my brother, he's just a bit paranoid.' I turned around to face them and saw they were both wearing blue.
'Siblings? Is that why you're both wearing the same color.' 'Well it's custom for people from the Watertribes to wear blue.' 'Water tribe?' 'We'll explain everything when we get to your house. But you have to tell us about this world too in return. Okay?'
I sighed again. 'Fine. Follow me otherwise you'll get lost since you're not accustomed to this environment.'
So here's the first real chapter. How did it go? Did I answer your expectations?
I still don't know how to name the boy, so any suggestions are welcome! Keep reviewing and reading the story, they help me continue the story.
