Chapter 10
The sand I had bent far above his head came crashing down in an instant, totally engulfing the surrounding area. My victory was almost assured, but of course there was a problem...
"So are you gonna stop playing around and start taking me seriously?" said Gaara with of anger as he called out to the sea of sand that surrounded him
"Hmph..so you knew?" Aang said he popped out of the sand
"Of Course I did, but don't get me wrong...If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead." Gaara said as he crossed his arms
"Well then Mr. Smarty Pants, Why did you do it?" asked Aang
"Take a look around you, and then you tell me..What do you see?" answered Gaara coldly
"I don't know..all I see is sand..Why?...(gasp) Oh no!" said Aang
------------------------------------------------------------------
Elsewhere..a certain water-bender was getting closer and closer to the battlefield...
"What is all this sand doing here?" Katara thought as she followed the trail of sand..."Something is not right, I can feel it...I'd better hurry. (sigh) I hope Aang is ok." she thought as she continued to run
------------------------------------------------------------------
At that moment, he had realized the truth..It was a trap. He couldn't earth-bend because of the sand covering the earth, and he couldn't move because the sand held him in. And just in a instant the blindly confident look that sat upon Aang's face was soon replaced by absolute terror. A look that I have become accustom to in my day..
"So it finally sunk in?" asked Gaara "Well it's about time! Heh-Heh-Heh..I must say you put up quite a fight, but I am the winner in the end. Now then..what were you saying about you beating me just as easily like the others.." Gaara continued
I was getting all set to deliver the final blow, but just as I was about to attack, I was attacked by a person hidden in the shadows..
"Who is there?" Gaara asked while stared at Aang
"I will say this only once..Leave Aang alone and go now or else." the voice said
"Great..another wimp. Alright girl, tell me your name.." asked Gaara
"My name is..."
"Katara, there you are!" Aang said as he rushed to Katara
"Aang, you're ok!" said Katara gleefully as she lifted and spun Aang in the air
So..are you ready? I'm going to make you pay for what you did Aang!" said Katara as she bent the water out of her gourds
"Are you serious? You do realize that I have been holding back this time right?" said Gaara loudly
"So what? If Aang and I team up, we'll be more than a match for you!" yelled Katara
"ENOUGH!" yelled Aang
An eerie silence fell over the area and as the sun finally rose, the boy finally broke the silence..
(sigh) "First things first..I give up." said Aang
"What? Why would you give up? We could have taken him!" yelled Katara
"There's no point of fighting anymore, he has proven to me that he's stronger than I am." said Aang
"What are you saying?" said Katara
"Just what I said.." said Aang with a straight-face
"Well what was the second thing?" asked Katara
"Someone has been following us, and have now they have us surrounded..." whispered Gaara
