Chapter 4: A Scar of a Broken Heart
After a night of vengeful bending, the four woke up to a red sky which is defined as a rainy wet miserable day, but today to these four would be more than the weather.
As the two exhausted girls stepped out of their damp and rocky tents, they exchanged a look of pure hatred and revenge. They changed their view to a worried Aang who usually would be as upbeat as the air but now seemed as dull as a piece of rotting wood. Sokka, who would seem the most unenthusiastic of them all, seemed actually awake.
"Um, Katara can you help me train today?"
Aang asked rubbing the back of his neck nervous as if Katara would drown him right this second. Katara slightly smiled she still had a chance to get Aang back, she opened her mouth with a smile. Suddenly Toph stepped in knowing what Katara was thinking.
" You cant today Aang, you need to master something strong like Earth but not something weak and slimy like water."
Katara growled, Toph had took it too far Aang had to destroy the fire lord and water was key to this, her heart did not matter here ,the world did. Katara spoke this in an angry tone to Toph. An argument sparked like a fire bender to a forest, Sokka and Aang slumped down onto Appa, tired of the arguments. Sokka and Aang pulled out The Evening Elements Mail parchment, waiting for the argument to stop. They looked at the new poll taken in the Peoples parchment column. Sokka read aloud to himself still hearing the fight between the girls.
" Oh, Water Benders and Earth Benders don't get along… "
The irony was as thick as melted iron. A loud THUMP sounded across the horizon, a stone sound… Aang and Sokka jumped as they looked over the news parchment. Huge dagger like slabs of earth was hovering in front of Toph, her power was intense, this was dangerous, and those daggers were facing Katara. The sun was rising between them showing silhouettes of earth daggers. The avatar needed to bring peace to the world he could do this surely?
Sokka had already sparked, he was not going to let Toph do this to his sister.
" TOPH, DON'T YOU DARE!"
He bellowed, already on his feet he glanced to Katara she was trapped by two slabs like a dart board, and her water pouch was on the floor. Her wrists was covered by Stone only her face and a small area of her arm could be seen, Toph had suspended Katara in rock. Aang jumped towards Toph but the Daggers had already flown towards Katara in a pattern of movement. They pierced her arm but no blood was spilled, a scar was engraved in the place that was not her face and was not in rock- the small place on her arm. They spun on to Katara as she screamed in not a painful scream but a scream like a longer scream of touching something jagged for two seconds and pulling your arm away. The Daggers continued scratching Katara's arm a tattoo like scar began to appear. The daggers crumbled to reveal a heart broken symbol engraved in her arm.
Toph spoke,
"Stay away from Aang."
Yeah you might find it confusing it means Toph made a scar on Katara's arm that looks like a broken heart !
