Katara POV :

BEEP...

beep...

beep...

beep...

The light in the room slowly returned.

First it started off as the sound, then light started entering my closed eye lids and I slowly regained consciousness.

My eyes fluttered open. In confusion they darted across the small room. But I suddenly felt vertigo.

My vision began to blur and I slowly shut my eyes for a moment. I inhaled slowly and exhaled at an even more turtle like pace. The vertigo dissipated.

My eyelids were then, once again slowly lifted, I focused my vision.

I gazed around the room to find myself in what looked like an outrageously minuscule hospital room.

White walls and the slow beeping sound. I turned to find my hand attached to the monitor, and some other clear bag filled with what looked like blood.

I tried to lift myself but failed .

Ugh ... was trying to sit up always so painful?

I raised my hand and grabbed my head as 3 excruciating waves of pain hit my head .

How did I get here ?

Why am I in the hospital ?

All these questions raced in my head , waiting to see which would win and be answered first .

Wait ..., I looked up ,

Why was my leg raised up and in a cast?

I turned to my other hand it was also in a cast .

Weird.

I clutched my head again as the waves of pain returned .

Okay , I understood ( I think) don't focus or think too much , your head won't hurt , no pain or future migraines for you .

But that flew out the window almost immediately , I was to curious .

So this time I felt around my head, it appeared to be wrapped around in bandages .

What the heck was going on and how did I get here?

I could feel my irrational frustration build up .

But then… well .

My train of thought was interrupted .

When I heard a Click –

What can I say I'm in pain and I get easily distracted .

Whatever…

I looked up as the doorknob slowly turned , I braced myself for what was coming , maybe this person had answers.

This person was a Doctor , or at least I assumed she was a Doctor.

She wore all the Doctor like cloths that at the moment there names could not be recalled by my mind .

Great timing Brain.

But I realized she was visibly shocked when she noticed I was awake .

Easily shocked for someone in the medical field .

She kept glancing at her little clipboard

I'm guessing it had my medical situation / condition written on it.

Then back at me, her eyes gauging out of her sockets, so they were almost as big as an owls.

Then finally after a minute of her gaping in an extremely puzzled manner, she cleared her throat and seemed to have recomposed herself.

She then spoke , her voice was warm and as soft as cotton .

" I am sorry about that and for intruding , but I did not believe you would awaken until much later. I do suppose I looked a bit like a deer in the headlights earlier." " Let me introduce myself I'm Mrs. Yan , your Doctor , nice to see your awake , would you please tell me how you feel Katara ?"

I was still slowly (Snail speed) processing her monologue. But I managed a "Hello Mrs. Yan"

Nice to meet you didn't make it. My mind soon moved to other occupational things.

Before I focused on the name she had spoken, Kat-what a ? I wanted to ask if she had walked into the right room or say that that name wasn't hers, but here throat was dry and scratchy , and currently closing up .

She needed water , water …. I like water ….

Plus deep down it seemed , almost familiar .

Her confused and distant facially expression must have been obvious for Mrs. Yan approached her with a worried look .

" I was hoping we good avoid this , the boy knew who he was , but suppose you had a rather devastating experience and fall all at once . Katara , is your name sweetie , but don't worry , I'll arrange ….. "

She was cut off by a few nurses bursting through the room like popcorn curdles

"MRS. ANOROK HAS GONE CRITICALE , WE NEED YOU STAT "

was all they screeched as they rushed back out .

Mrs. Yan looked horrified and glanced and me before dashing out of the room .

I wasn't sure why but the previous statement and the way Mrs. Yan had starred at me kept replaying in my mind.

Dread quickly piled up in my gut .

Did I know this person ?

This girl ? woman ? female ?

I didn't think on it for too long , for tears began to stream like rivers down the hills of my cheeks .

Somewhere deep down I knew the answer was ;

Yes , yes I do know her …

Drip...

drop...

Drip...

drop...

Rain hit the window as my tears splattered on the covers.

I wasn't sure why I was crying yet , but I knew it had to do with that name and that woman .

I felt like that when I realized what it meant, my world , my blank world ,would crash down and burn. (again)

Her name was it Katara or ... no that was me?

Her name had a K and an A too ... though

Why ? Why did i know that ?

I didn't not for sure , but my intuition sure did ...

One minute

3 minutes

6 minutes

10 minutes ..

WAIT ! hold up !

It clicked ... , what I had said earlier Y , it was a K and an A and a Y ..

Kay ? No .

Yak ?

no ... I think that's an animal

Aky ? no

Kya ? ... yes ... it was Kya ...

Oh god ... my ... m- my m-m Mom ?

IT rushed back in like a stream ...

The fire , Mom , the screaming , the pain , the burning , the falling , Aang , Dad and Sokka ..

Wait the Boy ? Was the lonely Iceberg like boy Aang ?... wait ... slow down ... Who is Aang ?

Before I could think that through this thought hijacked the others

MY Mom was dying ...

They had said critical , that's why Mrs. Yan had looked at me like that ...

Suddenly this Kid faded to black , so did most of the shallow reminiscent like memories .

The rain drops rippled the lake in my memory , blurring the images , my Mom was the only thought I held onto as I sank .
