Sister Avatar
~I am Avatar~

At first the female Airbender thought that the fire blast was aimed right at them and had braced herself to pull the other two away from the incoming flames. However, to her astonishment, having gleaned the idea from Kanna that the Fire Nation had become quite brutal, she found the ball of fire heading below them and into the ice wall, causing her to lose her footing and fall into the mass of snow at the bottom.

Sokka's warrior markings wept off as the wet snow clung to his face. He made to go after the Fire Nation Culprit, however, he found Dami on top of him, making this task not possible. She had tears in her eyes and turned to the attacker, not fully understanding what was going on. "Aren't all the nation's friends with each other?"

Laughter sprung up from the attacker's men as he spoke. "I want the Avatar."

"But Avatar Ruku's dead. I don't know who the next Avatar is," Dami's lip quivered, her eyes filled with confusion.

"You're an Airbender, or course you know who he is," the person snapped. "How else could there be Airbenders unless you are the grandchildren of said Avatar?"

Dami's crying stopped as her confusion grew, her question coming from this confusion. "Avatar Ruku's our grandfather?"

A fireball suddenly shot near her and Sokka causing Dami to grab hold of the other boy and start crying again. Sokka flung his boomerang again, anger in his eyes. This was due to the fact he still couldn't get up to attack the guy again. However, the person dodged it twice. "Did you actually think that trick would work twice?"

"You forgot I'm an Airbender," Iana stated as the boomerang came back, hitting the person on the third, forth and fifth time around, causing his helmet to spin. He removed it and flung it away from himself, revealing that his eye had a burn scar over it. Steam came from his nostrils. Iana raised her eyebrows. "I see that you are still a boy that gives into your emotions easily… shame."

"I may be young, but I can still take on that old man of an Avatar," the boy snapped.

"Why does he have that hurt?" Dami was suddenly not crying again, referring to the scar on the young Firebender's face.

"I'm the Avatar," Iana suddenly stated, causing Sokka's jaw to drop.

The person let out a breath of mirth. "Seriously, no… the Avatar's male."

"Perhaps it's come full cycle again," Iana contained her emotions.

The boy grinned. "Please… we would have known and seen other Avatar's cycles. I think not."

"Then perhaps they lied about the Avatar being male in the first place," Iana commented.

"You're not old enough," came the statement as the golden eyes narrowed. The other soldiers were laughing again.

"Perhaps I've been frozen the past hundred years," Iana suddenly smirked. She saw Katara blink a couple of times, realization starting to come to her.

Dami, not realizing what her sister was doing, looked up at her, then at the Fire Nation boy. She then stood up and pointed to her chest. "I am the Avatar."

Iana's face suddenly changed as the younger Airbender had thrown a hitch into her plan. "Dami…"

"Ahh… yes… his two granddaughters are masquerading to protect their relative. Loyalty is a good thing, but only when it is to the right person," the boy smirked. Iana noticed that his words' had some sort of further meaning to them.

"I shall protect the village," Iana flatly stated.

"Do you two not think that the best way to do that is surrender and become my prisoners… bait for the Avatar… so to speak? If you don't… think of the damage this village will sustain in a fight?" the boy continued to smirk.

"You only need one of us," Iana stated, only to be foiled by her ever determined little sister yet again.

"Me too…"

"Take them," the boy stated, a glint in his eyes of pride.

"Don't fight them Sokka," Iana gave a half hearted smirk. "This is for the best, believe me."

Sokka couldn't help frowning as the older girls hands were tied behind her back by tow of the soldiers and another hoisted Dami into his arms. As Iana bordered behind the boy, she frowned. "Cinnamon and sandalwood… not a fierce combination." However, no one heard her.


Author's note – I was going to type up this a few days ago, but I was delayed by an anon review and a few other things. The anon reviews gone now… it was a cut and paste, the second one not to fully read the fanfic. Anyways, my reason for calling the fanfic what I did is shown in this chapter… it isn't that she isn't a second avatar, but that she tries to pretend to be the Avatar to protect Aang.
