Earlier that day . . .
"Xia come on", Ayiana said from the stairway.
"I'm coming", I replied as I held onto the railing and began making my way up the stairs as fast as I could.
That night had taken a lot out of me and had drained a lot of my strength and I was still weak even 2 days after the horrible beating. When I had made it to the top of the stairs I hurried along with Chenoa, Bao, and Hadar to our room.
When we had finally reached it and hurried in everyone had begun making there beds, due to the delay earlier that we had breakfast after we woke up and she told us it would give us more time to due our chores so more would get done. I'm glad she didn't suspect anything from the lack of water in the bucket that we wash the dishes in, she's stupid like that.
"Xia", Hue asked "why aren't your arms all cut up anymore? And you just have bruises there did they heal that fast?".
Everyone turned and looked at me.
"Yeah what happened was it magic?", Chenoa asked.
Then I replied "no, Chenoa it wasn't I healed myself".
"You did", said Bao in amazement.
"Yes I did and that's when I discovered I was a water bender with healing abilities", I said.
"You're a water bender", Hue said "why didn't you tell us".
"I never really knew actually I just figured that out yesterday", I said.
So for the rest of the day up until we went out side I answered everyone's questions some easy others extremely difficult.
Present . . .
It was evening and everyone seemed to get to bed but I couldn't seem to fall asleep. After what felt like forever I finally did.
Dream...
A young airbender and a water tribe girl and they were in a dark cave in front of a large statue of 2 people kissing.
"See, It was a crazy idea" the water tribe girl said and turned away from the airbender and says dreamily "Us. . . . kissing. . .".
"Us kissing. What was I thinking, Can you imagine that", the girl said while trying to laugh it off. The boy trying to do the same said "Yeah, heh, heh (points at her) I definitely wouldn't wanna kiss you!", then his eyes bug out a moment after his last comment as he realizes the big mistake he made.
The girl said offended "Oh, well I didn't realize it was such a horrible option", and leaning over at him in anger and said angrily "Sorry I suggested it!".
The boy who was trying desperately to apologize "No, no, I mean . .. if there was a choice between kissing you and dying . . . ".
Then even more insulted, turns away from him and the air bender and says "What, I'm saying I'd rather kiss you than die", and he holds his hands together trying to beg for her forgiveness and adds "That's a compliment".
The girl then turns toward him infuriated and says angrily "Well I'm not sure which I would rather do!" and stalks off leaving the boy behind.
He asks himself then "What is wrong with me".
Then it switches to the 2 of them with a water tribe warrior underneath a huge tree with a jungle man.
"But what did our visions mean", the water tribe girl ask.
"In the swamp we see visions of people we've lost, people we loved . . . folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not", the man replied, "We're still connected to'em. Time is an illusion and so is death".
The airbender then asks "But what about my vision, It was someone I had never met". Everything goes black and the scene changes to an air temple and the girl is holding the air bender close and he says tired "I'm sorry".
The girl then says in a reassuring way "It's okay. It wasn't your fault".
Then the boy says sadly "But you were right. And if firebenders found this temple that means they found the other ones, too. I really am the last air bender", and with that the girl holds him tighter.
Suddenly the surroundings change into a water bending practicing field and the water tribe girl was running up to the air bender and a water bender master.
"Hey Katara!" the boy yelled, and the girl bows to the master who says coldly, "What do you think you're doing? It's past sunrise" then he smiles "You're late".
The air bender then says "Good to see ya here".
Katara smiling says "You too".
End of dream . . . . .
I woke up and looked around to find it was still nighttime and that everyone else was still asleep.
As I rose Momo woke up and flew into my shoulder.
I sighed then said to momo as I walked "Hey there boy" I petted the top of his head.
"I was just thinking I've been having these dreams lately and when I was unconscious I saw a girl who looked just like me and sounded just like me. She was with these 2 other boys that I recognize and a girl she's blind. The oldest boy is Sokka, the girl is a earth bender named Toph and the airbender is named Aang".
As I said this Momo's ears perked up.
Then I continued sadly "I'm so confused I don't know what any of these dreams mean for all I know they could be of my past and the people I know and used to live with. But what I don't understand is how I got separated from them or even if they miss me. But I know if I follow my dreams nothing can stop me from finding them and I can maybe become a master water bender, that is if I already am".
No one . . .
Xia looked up thoughtfully to Momo then out the window, momo flew from her shoulder onto the window in the hallway they where in.
The moon was full and beautiful and it seemed to light up the sky and the stars sparkled like diamonds in the mid-night sky.
Then Xia began singing softly as she walked.
Dreams to dream,
in the dark of the night
When the world was wrong
I can still make it right
I can see so far in my dreams
I'll follow my dreams,
until they come true.
She then turned a corner and walked down the corridor the silver moon light shown down on her and she closed her eyes as she sang sweetly.
Come with me,
you will see what I mean
There's a world inside
No one else ever sees
You will go so far in my dreams
Somewhere in my dreams
Your dreams will come true.
She then walked out and stared out into the light mid-night sky holding onto the railing here eyes gleaming and her long hair flowing in the low breeze.
There is a star,
waiting to guide us
Shinning inside us,
when we close our eyes.
She then closed her eyes then opened them slowly and continued.
Don't let go,
if you stay close to me
In my dreams tonight,
you will see what I see
Dreams to dream,
As near as can be
Inside you and me,
they always come true
She stood there looking up at the sky for a few minutes then turned to see momo staring at her with soft eyes that looked worried.
"Come on Momo les get to bed now its late" she said and with that momo glided over to her shoulder and she began to walk but stopped and turned to look at the sky, and saw a shooting star.
She looked at it with amazement then whispered "please let me know who I am and please let me be back with my family", her face was sad and then she turned and began walking back to her room.
