Hey! Chapter four is up! I was thinking- should I divide this story in parts?Any ways. Happy Reading and Review! Please give importance, this is one of my first stories!
Guys, quickly tell me, what should I do about Paris's element? What element? I was thinking about fire... Also, I am trying to fit each episode into a chapter, so i don't have to split it up into a couple of books.
Question of the day on which I update:
4. What color do you want your egg yolk to be? (I hate eggs!)
Paris was pacing to and fro, as a silence broke in between the five friends. Toph revealed that Appa was taken by a bunch of sand benders. Poor Fluffy Monster... He must be so lonely.Speaking of the word lonely, she shivered. Paris was also pretty much on her own, since a stupid purple Port Key transported her two a dimension where even sense made no sense.
She looked at her wand , and sighed. Just half an hour ago, she was cornered by a Knowledge spirit , who had her wand. She shuddered at the thought. It was plainly Sokka's fault. He just had to be loud about the Fire Nation. Paris was really frusterated with the water tribe boy.
Back to the current situation, she thought. Appa, the giant and hairy air bison was kidnapped- no wait- Bison-napped by sand benders and they were stuck in the middle of the desert. There was nothing, but sand, as far as Paris could see. She could feel the tension in the air. Aang was super mad at Toph and was trying to contain his anger. Paris really felt sorry for him.
'How could you let them take Appa?' he yelled at Toph, bursting out his anger over the absence of his air- companion. 'Why didn't you stop them?'
Paris shrugged nervously,part of her felt sorry for Toph but the other part was also mad at her. Toph always bragged about being the best earthbender, but when the time came for action, she showed her strength.
' I couldn't! The library was sinking, and you guys were still inside-' Toph started, turning her back towards Aang.
"You could've come to get us! i could've saved him!' Aang shouted, his cheeks turning crimson every minute. Toph just stared at the ground. 'But you just didn't care!'
' I did care-' Toph began, hesitantly.
' Nothing happened to Appa when it was just the three of us! You hated Appa!' Aang was crossing limits now. Paris decided to change sides. So Toph was the new addition, just like her. And that caused the sand benders to come and bison-nap Appa! Paris thought sarcastically.
' Aang, you know Toph tried her best, we all feel sorry Appa.' Katara came, as she patted Toph's back.
' Appa saved our life tonnes of times- ' Aang said, as tears spilled out of his angry eyes.
'Who's gonna save our lives now?' Sokka said, facing the sun.
'That's all what any of you care about! I am-' Aang snapped, as he mounted his glider.
'Aang, come on, we can't be fighting right now, we are stuck in the middle of a desert! We need to get out of here,' Paris said, trying to knock some sense into his bald head.
Paris frowned, Didn't anyone notice her broomstick? She glared at Sokka.
'I am going to look for Appa!' Aang anounced, gliding far in the air, in a speed. Paris looked at him, fly away until she could no longer see his red, and orange robes.
Paris POV:-
A while later...
'We should start walking! We are the only people who know about the solar eclipse!' Katara said, as she looked back at me.'We have to get that information to Ba Sing Se.'
I smirked at Sokka, 'Someone was right all along, huh?'
'I wasn't a hundred percent sure!' Sokka complained.
'Yeah, sure.'
Katara took Toph's hand, and started guiding us. I followed her dragging my ( I called it mine, cuz no one owned it) broomstick. Sokka followed me, Momo beside him.
'Hey, Earthbender!' I called out to Toph.
'What?' she grumbled.
'Got my cell phone?'
'Yes, take it!' A blue object slammed on my face.
'Hey!' I growled at her. It was my i-phone. I quickly, switched it on, tried the internet. Out of Signal! WHat! I frowned at it, and look through my song list. All the songs were boring, so turned it off and followed Katara.
When we stopped, it sounded like forever. I checked the time, it was almot five hours. I had never walked that much, and was tripping on my every step.
I accidently bumped into Sokka and boy he stunk! I pinched my nose and stepped away.
'Do you stink that often?' I asked him, in irritation.
' I am not stinking; well- it isn't my choice,' he snapped back.
A minute later Toph bumped into him. That must have struck his nerve.
'Hey!' he snapped again. 'Can't you see where you are going?'
I laughed as Toph said, dryly, 'No.'
'Right,' Sokka scratched the back of his head. ' Sorry..'. Toph was still stuck with him, because of intense sweat.
'Guys, we need to stick together,' Katara said, she made me miss my mom, the fake one. The adoptive one. Sokka pushed Toph away.
'If we are going to walk around here anymore, I don't think sticking together will be a problem.' Sokka said, sarcasm in his voice.
' Well good news, it isn't!' I said, trying to be funny. But the other three just stared at me, raising their eye brows. I closed my mouth, 'I mean- er, Woah it is hot.' They kept staring. 'What?' They kept staring at me. 'Oh, alright! I was just trying to be funny.' I admitted sheepishly.
They turned around and I sighed.
'Hey, Katara, can I have some water?' Toph asked, making me realize that I hadn't drank for a long time too. And that made me thirsty.
' Okay we need to try to conserve it,' Katara said as she bended the water out of her water skin, into Toph, Sokka and my mouth.
I gulped it down but it left an anonymous flavour in my mouth, 'Is this water?' I asked, but I was ignored.
'We are drinking your bending water?' Sokka asked, in astonishment. 'You used this on the swamp guy!' He yelled at Katara. I felt like puking then and there.
'Swamp guy?' I frowned.
'It did taste swampy...' Toph shrugged.
'Since when do you go around tasting swamp samples?' I said, dryly.
Sokka laughed, while Katara smiled for the first time in a long time.
'I don't.' Toph said grumpily.
'SO when, I try not to be funny, I am?' I asked Sokka a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
'Pretty much- oh LOOK!' Sokka yelled suddenly, pointing towards a cactus.
'A cactus?' I said, surprised.'Big deal!'
Sokka walked over to it and sliced the cactus leaf. There was water inside it.
'Sokka!' Katara scolded in her motherly tone. ' We shouldn't be going around, eating strange plants!'
' Come one Katara, there is water store inside it, ' I said stepping towards the plant. Sokka handed me a cup of cactus, with water in it.
' I don't know, ' Katara stepped backwards.
'Suit yourself!' Sokka said, as he gulped it down. He gave some to Momo, and me. It was delicious, and thirst quenching.
'Can I have some of that water?' Toph asked.
'I don't think that's a good idea.' Katara said, worriedly.
After I drank the cactus juice, my head got clouded. I felt my self, getting lost within my self. It was relaxing, and the best feeling. Dizziness, came over me.
Sokka was dancing and Momo was flying in circles above us. It was funny. So funny. I couldn't see what i was doing.
'Paris, stop swimming in the sand, this isn't water, ' a beautiful blue eyed, tan girl scolded me. I got up and pulled her hair loopies.
'What is this?' I asked her. She snatched her hair from me. 'Hey don't leave me, alone in the ...'
'...Middle of the ocean,' Sokka finished for me. We looked at each other dreamily. Was he my boy friend? CUz he seems to understand me, I thought. But shook off that thought.
KATARA 'S POV
It was getting dark and we just had to go to Ba Sing Se, but Sokka and Paris weren't of much help. Aang had disappeared looking for Appa. Toph was tired, but we had to move. So I tried to pull every one together, why does everyone have to be so tough?
We kept walking, and after what seemed like hours, I could hear Aang's glider. Aang had me really worried, so it was relief to see him. I ran over to give him a hug, but he was on his knees.
'I couldn't find him.' he mumbled, very lightly.
'Aang, don't worry, we will find him. I am sure Appa's fine,' I tried to comfort him, but all in vain. But he was looking at the sky, the moon.
'Appa!' he yelled suddenly. I looked up, to see. It was just a cloud.
' Just a cloud...'
'Appa?' Sokka said, in his stupor. 'But why would Yue need him? Princess Yue is a free Moon Spirit, and she doesn't need a bison-'
'Shut up SOkka!' I scolded him. Then realization hit me.
'Why didn't I think this before? ' I said excitedly. 'Aang here, take my water skin. And bend the water from the cloud into it!'
Aang glared at me, making me nervous, but snatched anyways, he glided in thhe sky and bended the cloud water and landed. I peeked in the the skin.
'Wow, there is barely any water in here,' I remarked.
'At least I did something, none of you were of any help at all! What is anyone else doing? What are you doing?' he pointed his finger towards me.
'Trying to keep everyone together...' I grimaced. I was glad that Paris wasn't trying anything, or else Aang would have yelled harder about including someone foriegn in our group.
We restarted our journey. It was in the middle of the night and was really dark. I borrowed the stuffs Sokka stole from the lirary.
'I didn't steal- wait it was Momo! He ratted me out!' Sokka yelled at the small Lemur.
'Sokka, Katara...' Paris murmured. 'How long was I insane?'
'Long enough, Sokka give it to me,' I said.
'How do you -
'Sokka, I was there,' i rolled my eyes at him.
'None of that is going to help us find Appa, what's the difference?' Aang moaned.
'Yes but maybe it can help us get out of here,' Paris suggested. She was gaining senses, and unlike Sokka, was quiet most of the time. 'Or to ba Sing se, whatever that is...'
'Right,' I agreed, going through the maps. 'May be the stars can guide us, and we can journey during the cold nights, and rest in the day. But we should rest for no, and restart in a few hours.'
Paris POV
It was a sandy sleep, but I managed it. After, what seemed like seconds, Katara woke us up. And my mind was totally clear. I could here Sokka's nonsense, so that's why I had tried to keep quiet.
'Come one, let's start,' Katara said, after talking with Aang for a while. That walk was killer, there were small and sharps rocks that made Toph wince again and again.
After few minutes, she shrieked, ' Aarrgh!'
'What?' I frowned at her in slight annoyance.
'Urhg,' Toph groaned as she massaged her barefeet. 'I am so sick of not being able to feel anything! Who buries a boat, in the middle of a desert ?'
'I am sick of you wincing,' I snapped as she 'glared' at me.
'Well-' she began.
'Boat?' Katara said, skipping to the point.
'Yeah,' Toph grunted. 'I feel almost twenty-five vibrations by kicking it hard!'
I bent to take a closer look, but moved aside, when Aang stepped forward. He used his gliders, to airbend the sand away, to reveal a boat. It was a big boat, with a sail on it. But it didn't have any engine.
'How does it work?' I inquired, rubbing my eyes. My eye lids felt heavy, and I missed sleeping. I realized that I hadn't slept for a while, and didn't eat anything too. I was feeling woozy, and started tripping on my feet.
'It is the glider, the one that the sandbenders use!' Katara said, smiling delightfully.
'How many sandbenders have you met, since you were born?' I moaned.
Katara ignored my comment, and got on the boat. 'A- and Look! It has got some sort of compass on it!' She said pointing a weird object, which was broken. 'Aang, you can bend the air to move it. We are going to make it!'
Toph and Aang exchanged glances, and i absent mindedly got on the glider. Maybe, the cactus juice affect hadn't worn off,yet. i was stressed. I looked back to see Sokka, and Momo, who was buried underneath the sand.
'Hey, that makes a nice blanket,' i said, dryly, as Sokka and the others got on. And soon we were moving.
After a couple of hours...
'Oh look a Rock!' Katara exclaimed as she pointed, to wards a rock in the middle of the desert. As we reached. 'It must be the centre of the desert!'
'A rock?' Toph shouted. 'Sweet!'
'Maybe we can find some water there!'Katara smiled.
' Or something to eat!'I smiled, in a long while, resting my elbow on my broomstick.
'Maybe we can find some sandbenders,' Aang said, gravely.
'Eat, really?' Toph teased me. 'Is Sokka rubbing off on you?' I turned my face and gave her my full glare, but realizing she couldn't see. i turned my back on her again.
After hours and hours, we reached there. The big Rock. The sun was rising, and the darkness was gone. The day gave me warmth, and happiness. No reason, but it always had made me cheerful.
We climbed the cliff-rock or whatever it was, it was speically hard for me since i had a broomstick, which i didn't think of using til we got up.
'Woah! Land!' Toph said, relieved, falling on her back with a crunch. She bagan making very very hard rock angels. 'Solid ground, ah finally!'
'Ouch', i shrugged, walking over small cave-like wholes. Aang, and the other three walked behind me. 'What is this? A cave?' I asked.
Sokka raised his eye brows, looked around, ' Hey what is this?' He asked referring to a yellow, mushy material on the 'cave' wall, as he licked some of it. As he did so, he bent over, groanng, 'Ohhh. I feel woozy,' he moaned.
Katara frowned, and walked over to her brother, 'You have been hallucinating on Cactus Juice all day, and now you just lick something you find on the wall of a cave?' Sh scolded him.
'I have a natural curiousity,' Sokka said, dryly.
'That is costy,' I said, as I rolled my eyes.
'I dont think this is a normal cave,' Toph said feeling the walls.
'What makes you think that this is a normal cave?' I said, in annoyance. 'It has got yellow goop all over! Eurgh!' I scowled.
'This was carved by something,' Toph continued.
'Yeah, look at the shape... 'Aang gasped.
'I can feel something buzzing- and- it is coming for us!' As Toph said, lots buzzing noises came. We all exchanged glances, and started running. There were like a million big bees, and there weren't any bendables. Or magic. I took out my wand, and started thinking about different spells. Scourgify? No. Confundus? Noway! Crucio? Not in a million years. Indencio? Nah, they will think I am from Fire Nation or something...
'Paris! A little help here!' I heard Katara calling to me. 'I don't have another drop of water...' She was dodging the bees, and guiding Toph into attacking them.
'Water?' I frowned, then it clicked me. 'Water!' Aguamenta! I could use that spell all along in the desert!
'AGUAMENTA!' I yelled, raising my wand high, causing water to errupt out of thin air. The water followed my wand's movements. Katara stared at me blankly for a second. 'Well? What are you starin' at? Take the water! Bend it!' I shouted to her.
She shot out of her stupor, and quickly bended the water, into icicles, and sent them flying towards the bees. 'Where is Aang?' I asked her, as I ran beside her.
'Huh? Oh, Momo got lemur-napped by the bees, and Aang has gone to get him back.'
'Oh,' I sighed. Katara raised her eye brows at me. 'What? Running is tiring!'
'You had water all along!'
'Yeah, but I didn't realize it until you spoke,' I grinned sheepishly at her face. 'Well! FIGHT THE BEES!' And pretty soon, the bees were gone. I relaxed a bit, because hated bugs- badly.
'Things can't get any worse,' Sokka sighed.
I frowned, ' Hey, never say that. It-'
' Paris...' Sokka trailed off. I glared at him.
'What?' I snapped.
'Behind you...' I looked behind me. There were more bees than a minute ago. Things did get worse, and Aang wasn't back. I was saying my last words, and closed my eyes, prepared to get stung. But instead I felt sand, fly across my face. I opened my eyes to see the bandaged people.
'Okay... Who are they?' I asked Katara.
'Sandbenders..' She gasped. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, Aang landed, causing Air to brushh against my face.
' Where is my Bison?' Aang demanded.
The bandage man, who looked like the leader ignored him,' What are you doing in our land, with the sand sailors?It is obvious that you stole it.'
'We found the sailor abandoned in the desert!' Katara explained calmly. I frowned at one of the bandaged persons, he was ugly. 'We are travelling wth the avatar , and our bison was stolen. We need to travel to the earth kingdom.'
The leader man stiffened, and spoke more calmly, but his friend, ( the ugly one), interrupted him. 'How dare you accuse our people of theft? They are the ones with our sand- sailor!'
I sighed, I was sweating. I don't know why, but I wanted to crush the sandbenders. I was mad, at them! Mad, for they took away Appa. I was never attracted to animals, including the bison, but I was angry. The next ten minutes were agony for me. I was so angry, that tears spilled out of my eyes. I turned away from Aang, and the others, to avoid eye-contact. I was trying my best to control my self.
'Where is Appa? What did you do to him?' a voice came. I could tell it was Aang. Wind was blowing across my face. He was in is Avatar State- Katara had mentioned it. I placed my hands to my ears, to prevent losing control. I felt Sokka pull me and Toph away, to the other side. I felt as if I would burst if I didn't control myself. Pretty soon, the sand benders, agreed to guide us out of the desert, and Aang calmed down, with the help of Katara. And so did I!
A/N:
So did you like this chapter? Sorry for the late update- but i love my vacations! Any how I wanted to answer some questions by a reviewer!
Guest: 'I like it. Although why couldn't Paris just give the spirit her iPhone? Giving away her wand seemed way too risky'
She didn't give her i-phone, because it was with Toph. And Toph had the i-phone, as Paris told her earlier that she found her i-phone more important than her wand And this encountr taught her that her wand was very important. (in short she was careless about her wand!)
And hey, a request, could you guys log in and review? No pressure, but just a request. Review, constructive criticism is appreciated, and flames are ignored. Seriously, no flames! And I am sorry if this chapter is a bit weird from any angle- I HAVEN'T WATCH A'TLA IN AGES ;(...
