Katara stood there for a few minutes, thinking about what Aang had just said, when Sokka ran in and yelled "Katara! We have to get out! NOW!" he grabbed her hand and started pulling her out the door.

"S-Sokka? Where's A-Aang?" she asked, letting him pull her out the opened door way. After they were out he let go and turned around to run back outside yelling over his shoulder as he ran,

"I don't know, we need to get out though!" with that he disappeared into the smoke. Katara following closely behind, as soon as they got out side they heard a loud explosion. Scared, Katara looked around, seeing if she could find Aang, he was nowhere to be found.

As she was looking for him, Toph, Sokka, Iroh, Zuko, and Mai had come over to her Ty Lee following closely behind. Katara was so scared she barely noticed the fact that her brother and best friend were holding hands. Instead she just looked at Sokka and asked, voice trebling "S-Sokka? Where-where's A-Aang?"

Sokka looked at the ground sadly, avoiding her gaze. "I'm sorry" he whispered softly "He told us to get you out and keep you safe…" his voice trailed off, still looking at the ground. Katara felt her heart break as everyone bowed there heads sadly.

"You-you a-all kn-knew?" Katara asked sadly sinking to the ground where she stood and looked at everyone in turn. "Why didn't y-you t-tell me?"

"Were sorry, Katara, Aang told us his plan, but told us not to tell you. For fear that you'd try and stop him." Toph said while trying to keep Katara calm but failing. All they could do was stand beside her, sadly, as she cried.

Katara looked up sadly, tears still falling from her eyes, then said, softly "Guys, I'm going to show you something, but you have to PROMISE, on your life NOT to tell anyone." everyone looked at her and nodded, confused , about what she was going to say. "ok."

Katara rolled up then bottom of her shirt, just enough to let them see the light blue airmark. Sokka's eyes widened in shock as Iroh smiled and said softly "Ahh, the young avatar has finally made his mark."

"You, you know about… this?!?" Sokka yelled shocked. Pointing angrily at Katara's exposed stomach. Toph laid a small hand on his arm, and said softly

"Its ok Sokka just calm down. Please?" Sokka looked at her, his face softened.

He smiled then realized everyone was looking at them, Katara still sobbing on the ground in front of them. Looking just as confused as the other three.

Mai, Zuko, and Ty Lee were all staring at the two with raised eyebrows but Iroh just smiled and nodded. Then said "I'll tell you all once we get somewhere… calmer. Over tea perhaps?" Katara started to nod but stopped, tears springing back into her eyes as she asked "Wh-What about-about A-Aang?"

Iroh shook his head and said "No time, I'm sorry." with that he helped her to her feet and guided her away. The others who, had still been paying attention to a now red faced Sokka and pink faced Toph, turned and followed silently behind. As they reached the gate, Katara fell to the ground, clutching her stomach in pain.

"KATARA!!" Sokka yelled, forgetting about his earlier embarrassment, as his sister fell, "Katara! Katara! What's wrong?!?" he asked terrified by the way that Katara had screamed, as she fell.

Katara looked up at them, then whispered softly, more to her self then them, "It's true…" then looking at them said, "We have to go back."
