Hey guys sorry I haven't posted in a long time, been busy being lazy lol! Anyway on with the story!
Aang slowly opened his eyes and saw a hand on his shoulder. The hand was small and perfect. he looked up to Kataras face, she was smiling "Well you made a big mess in the courtyard" She grinned.
"Aww I hope no one got hurt" Aang said with sarcasm. he sat up holding his head but Katara gently pushed him back down.
"Aang, take it slow you had a pretty bad concussion" Katara said, her smile slowly fading. Aang looked around with confusion.
"where are we, this doesn't look like the fire nation" Aang said shaking his head.
"That's because it isn't, we are at the southern water tribe" Katara said with a grin "we were on our way here anyway, plus you were only out for a few days"
"Oh good, I was hoping I wasn't out for too long" Aang said still holding his head. as he and Katara were talking a messenger hawk flew in from the open window and landed on Aangs lap. He opened the message compartment and read the scroll. Aangs eyes widened with fear and lots of it as he continued to read on. Katara began to grow concerned.
"Aang?" Katara asked "whats wrong?"
"I-its, uhhh.." Aang said with difficulty "i cant actually tell you, it says Avatar only"
"Aang, you know you can trust me"
"Of course I do, but to be honest I don't think I want you knowing" Aang said quietly but still loud enough for her to hear "its too dangerous." Kataras concern only grew now
"but why tell you and no one else?" Katara asked "why not tell me or Sokka or Toph?"
"Because its too dangerous for this information to fall into the enemy" Aang said creating fire with his hand.
"The enemy?" Katara asked again "what enemy? Aang what's going on?" Aang put the scroll into his fire and turned it into ashes.
"I told you I cant tell you, its for your own protection" Aang said louder this time "I just want you to be safe Katara, can you please trust me on this?"
Katara sighed "I do trust you Aang its just that..."
"I know Katara, I know how bad you want to know, know what's happening and how badly my life will be in danger but ill only tell you what can if I get General Fongs permission, is that alright with you?" Aang felt bad for keeping her out the loop but he wants her safe from everything, especially because he was endangering her life with his presence.
"Katara?"
"Yeah Aang?" Katara asked
"I have to leave tomorrow at noon" Aang said with sadness "And I don't know when ill be back, I have to fix this"
Kataras eyes began to drop tears. She sobbed un controllably into her hands. Aang pulled her into him. All he wanted to do was hold her in his arms.
"Katara its going to be okay, I promise" Katara didn't answer she just continued to cry. A few minutes later she looked up and spoke.
"Aang?" Katara asked still slightly sobbing "can you answer one thing for me, please?"
"Of course Katara"
"What is the possibility of you getting badly hurt?"
Aang sighed and looked deep into her ocean blue eyes "there is a very big chance of me getting hurt, yes"
Katara began to cry even more, The tears didn't stop streaming down her cheeks for a long time but Aang still held her in his arms. After about an hour of sobbing and holding, she finally began to settle down.
"Aang? You better come back to me or ill be pissed at you and your future incarnations"
"I will, I avatar promise to come back" Aang said holding her tighter. Just as they pulled apart.
Aangs POV
Later that day at dark, Katara and I were sitting on an ice beach, facing the ocean. Katara was watching the waves swayed towards us and away again. All I could do was look at her, her beautiful face, Oh would I miss her. But I knew I had to go to keep her and everyone else I cared for safe. She looked at me and said "why are you staring at me like that?"
"Because your beautiful" I said grinning. I couldn't help but grin, everything about her made me smile, even her beautiful hair. She had it down tonight so it blew in the wind. It made her look radiant. Katara began to blush
"Aang?"
"yeah Katara?"
"do you really have to go I mean, cant you stay a little longer?" Katara asked. i begun to kiss her neck.
"I would want nothing more" i said in between kisses before eventually moving away to face her "but I have to go, its my duty to the people of this world"
Kataras eyes drifted from mine and looked at the ground. She began to tear again. "i know it is Aang and I understand that, but we have only been dating for 3 weeks and you are leaving me" Katara began "I love you and I don't want to let you go" I held her in my arms again
"I love you too Katara but I have to do this, I will do everything I can to return as quick as possible" I said with the sweetest voice I could. She stopped sobbing and moved to sit in front of me. She leaned back to rest her head in my lap. I began running my hands through her hair. I loved the feel of her hair, it was so soft. She looked up into my eyes. We looked at eachother for a few minutes before I leaned down to kiss her gently on the lips. After a few minutes of being in each others arms we walked back to the tribe hand in hand. we went to sleep in our separate rooms. I wasn't happy for tomorrow to come but I knew it would and when it did I would spend it all with Katara and Sokka, because they are the ones closest to me.
