Own nothing do we.

Katara's mouth hung open for a fraction of a second before she started in on Aang, "What do you mean, Sokka's in danger? You're the one in danger, Aang. It's you they want."

Aang nodded, he was quiet for a minute, staring into nothingness. He looked back at Katara, his eyes wide, "I don't know what made me say that, Katara. It was a feeling, like if we don't leave today, Sokka might die. I don't know why."

They all stared at him (except Toph, she wasn't very good at staring), "Oh-kay," Sokka said, "This just got a little bit too weird."

Katara scooted towards Aang, "maybe this is another Avatar thing." She said, touching her friend on the shoulder. Aang turned away, became secluded.

"Yeah, what a nice gift to be able to predict your friends death." Aang's voice was indescribably bitter.

Toph coughed, "Not that this conversation isn't touching and just the teeniest bit spooky, I would like to point one thing out." She waited a second, imagining everyone's eyes on her. "We can't leave, Appa's still shedding.

Aang seemed to deflate, his energy leaving him in one motion.

"It'll be over in less then a week," Katara pointed out, "Until then, Sokka will just stay close to camp."

Sokka glared at her. No way was he staying close just because of some stupid Avatar mumbo-jumbo. One glare from his sister, though, and he said, "Sure, Aang, I'll stay."

Aang was hesitant, he didn't want anyone getting hurt. Though, if Sokka really did stay close to the camp, he wouldn't get hurt anyway.

"Fine. Just make sure to stay close. Zuko is a good bender and you're ―" Aang stopped, realizing that this topic was like walking on thin ice with Sokka.

"And I can't bend, yeah, I know." Sokka rolled his eyes, muttering something along the lines of not wanting to do the vodoo anyway.

"Just stay close." Aang inspected Sokka closely. Even though the teen moved like a cat, he was still no match for the fallen Prince, who would like nothing better then to get one of "the avatar's friends" in a trap.

Sokka moved away from the group, wondering why he had even mentioned Zuko or Jet. He was suddenly struck with a terrifying thought. What if they were working together?

He shuddered, hoping that that wasn't the case. Taking on Zuko alone was very different from taking on Zuko AND Jet AND Jet's cronies.

That night, Sokka slept very close to Aang, and even that didn't stop the hand from going around his throat.
