Katara and Aang
Chapter 10- Meadow
Katara's POV 2:50am
__________________________________________________________
I must be going crazy. Not only am I seeing Aang, but I'm seeing Aang in my meadow. WATERBENDING! I stepped closer to see better, but I stepped on a twig while moving. It made a tiny crunching sound that I could hardly hear, but somehow-from across the meadow-Aang heard it.
His head snapped over in search for the sound and his eyes almost immediately found me. How the hell did he hear that?
"Katara?", he whispered.
"Umm..Aang..what…how. .YOU'RE WATERBENDING", I stuttered.
"Uhh". He dropped the water he had floating in mid-air.
"I thought you were an Air Nomad", I said, finding my voice.
"Well, I'm kind of ,the avatar", he admitted.
OH MY GOSH

Katara and Aang
Aang POV
I knew I could trust Katara with this secret. I'd never be able to tell her the other one. She'd run away ,screaming.
"That's awesome!!", she exclaimed.
Yeah, that's what everyone says. "Yeah, I guess".
She stood uncomfortably at the opening to the meadow. I wonder why she's here.
"So what are you doing here. It's kind of late", I stated.
"I could ask you the same question", she shot back. She eyed me suspiciously. "I couldn't sleep. I come here to clear my mind".
"Maybe it'd be best if you told me what's on your mind", I offered.
After a while she agreed and we sat down next to the pond. She told me all about her mother.

Azula, Zuko and Toph
Mai's POV 2:50am
_____________________________________________________________
I turned around and my gold eyes met a pair of green and another pair of gold. Azula and Toph were balancing on the open window sill behind the couch we were sitting on. The red ring around their eyes was strong and bold so they must have just been hunting. They were both still giggling from Azula's last joke.
"I was wondering who was going to figure it out first. Turns out Goth girl is the smartest of the group. Congratulations Zuko, you got the pick of the litter", Azula continued.
"Very funny, Azula", Zuko sourly, replied to his sister.
"So you're not afraid of us", Toph questioned as she and Azula jumped over our heads and into the living room. They were now in front of us.
"No, not at all. I'm not afraid of anything", I replied.
"You know, you are exactly like Zu-zu", Azula told me.
Wait! Zu-zu? I'd heard her say it a minute ago, but now I actually thought about it. She was talking about Zuko!
I started to tremble with suppressed laughter. I didn't want to laugh at Zuko, but it was so funny. Zu-zu? Come on.
"Stop calling me that, Azula", Zuko snapped.
"Sorry, didn't mean to embarrass you in front of your girlfriend", Toph replied for Azula.
I would fit in great with these girls.
"Let me guess", Toph said. "You have lots of questions for us. Right?".
"Of course", I replied. "Zuko, when did you become a vampire?".
"Zu-zu and I were born vampires. Technically, were vampire/human hybrids", Azula answered for him.
"Oh, so were all of you born half vampires?".
"No, Aang was born a full vampire and I was turned into a full vampire. Both of Aang's parents were vampires", Toph answered.
"Vampires can have children?", I responded.
"Vampires can only conceive a child on the day the first vampire was created. October 31st".
"Oh, so what happened to Aang's parents?", I asked.
The three of them exchanged glances. They seemed unsure about telling me. Finally, Toph spoke up.
"If she knows one secret, she might as well know them all".
"17 years ago on October 31st, a vampire baby boy was born to two vampiric Air Nomads. Aang's parents, Ava and Jinru had been rebellious Air Nomads. 9 years before Aang's birth, they met at the air Olympics, where the male temples and the females temples meet at the western air temple for games and a party. Ava and Jinru were both only 14. They ran away from the temple together and never returned. While running away they crossed paths with an eternal creature of the night. A vampire, who then bit Ava. Jinru managed to fight the vampire off before he sucked Ava dry, using airbending and a torch that they had lighting their way. Fire is the only thing on this planet that can hurt or kill a vampire. Jinru tried to nurse his girlfriend back to health, but she only seemed to get worse. Her heart beat was slowing, she was growing cold and pale, but beautiful", Azula told me.
"He didn't know about the curse of the vampire", I interrupted.
"Shh, let her finish", Toph said. I guess she'd never actually heard the story.
"So on the 3rd day of her change she woke up and the bloodlust took over her. She bit her own boyfriend, but managed to pull back from draining him once she remembered her love. In the process she'd turned him as well. They traveled the world together-in the darkness of night, of course-. 9 years later, Ava had Aang on October 31st. When Aang turned 1 year old, he not only grew his fangs, but his eyes would start to light up and he would summon unimaginable power. Ava and Jinru didn't know Avatar Roku- the Fire Nation avatar- had died 1 day before Aang's birth. So the avatar spirit deemed him worthy before he was even born", Azula continued.
"AANG'S THE AVATAR?", I blurted out.
"If you don't stop interrupting, I'll shove my foot down your throat!!", Toph warned, darkly.
I instantly shut right up.
"Ava and Jinru had no idea of how to control Aang when he was like this. He'd almost killed them once. One night when he got angry, he went into the avatar state. His parents ran for help at the closest place, nearby. The Southern Air Temple. The Air Nomads helped, but also recognized Aang as the avatar. They took Aang in, but assassinated Ava and Jinru for being creatures of the night. Gyatso became Aang's mentor and took good are of him. When Aang was old enough he and Gyatso set out so that he could aster the elements. That's how he met all of us", she finished.
"Wow, they killed his parents", I said, shocked. The Air Nomads were supposed to be a peaceful and loving civilization.
"The Air Nomads didn't want anyone to know that some of their people had become something inhuman. They only excepted Aang because he was the avatar. They would have killed him, too. They still keep him a secret. He was sent to master the elements incase of an emergency Why do you think everyone thinks the avatar spirit died out long ago? Why do you think he lives here, instead of in a temple?", Zuko explained.
Everything started to add up. The Nomad hide Aang from the world. Now they made him keep it a secret that he was the avatar.
"Aang is the first avatar in history to ever be a vampire. We all look up to him. There is an entire civilization of vampires out there. The Air Nomads didn't what the world to know their nation's avatar was something 'evil'," Azula informed.
"They did teach him to only drink the blood of animals, though. After he left the temple and Gyatso died he started hunting humans, but now he seems to be going back to animals", she continued.
Now I knew about Aang's secret history and it was time to ask.
"Can I become a vampire?".
