Am I in love with Zuko? Katara thought. Or am I in love with Aang? She paced around her room. Should I break up with Aang? Katara's thoughts went on and on, repeating the same thing over and over and over.
Before she came up with a conclusion, Sokka came in. He clutched a letter in his hand. His expression was not the happy one he normally wore; this one was completely opposite.
"Sokka, what is it?" Katara asked.
It took a moment before he responded. "This letter was sent by messenger hawk. You need to read it."
Katara rushed over to her brother. She yanked the letter out of his hand.
Fire Lord Zuko, Master Katara, and Chieftain Sokka,
I have written this letter to inform you that Avatar Aang has been fatally injured by a Fire Nation rebel, whose identity has not been discovered. Our best healers are trying to heal him, but he is still in critical condition. Avatar Aang wishes for his colleagues to visit him here in Ba Sing Se.
Sincerely,
Official Chen Wang
Oh, Tui! Katara thought. She felt week at the knees. "Has Zuko read this letter?" she asked.
"Not yet," Sokka replied. "I thought you should be one of the first ones to know."
Katara ran to Zuko's room. She marched right in without knocking, much like she did the day before.
"We have to go to Ba Sing Se now!" she said.
"What for?"
She handed him the letter. Zuko's good eye widened by the time he was finished reading it.
"I will get the fastest airship we have up and running by sunset. We will leave then," Zuko said, leaving the room to go order some people around.
After she was all alone, Katara sat on the desk. She put a hand on her forehead and fought the tears that were getting ready to leak out of her eyes. She couldn't hold them back any longer and she started sobbing.
Stop it, Katara! She thought. Stop it! You need to be strong.
She gained control over her emotions she walked to her room, then Sokka's, to pack their clothes.
After dinner, they were off. They flew into the sunset*, ready for whatever was to come at Ba Sing Se.
*I know Ba Sing Se is in the east, but the world is round and the quicker way to get there is to go west. If you look at a map of the Avatar World, you'll understand.
K, so this is short, but I'm not gonna have time to write in the next few days so I decided to post what I had. I think from now on, I'm gonna try short chapters but post more often.
REVIEW OR I WILL ANNILATE YOU WITH MY AWESOME POWERS THEN "throw ya out the window, the window, the window!"
