Okay, so I have a few things to apologize about. First, I'm sorry that this took so long! I had some serious writer's block on this chapter, but now that it's done I think it's pretty good. : ) Just so you guys know, I got the inspiration to write this chapter from all of you. The fans of this story who hopefully haven't given up on this story yet! I looked back at the stats for this story and they made me smile! Which brought this chapter on. :D

Next, I don't know if you guys remember, but I said that this one would be mainly Tokka. Well, I'm sorry, but I lied. It's actually the next chapter that is mainly Tokka.

Toph's POV

It is a long ride to Ember Island so we decided to stop in another town half way there and then ride the rest of the way after we rest for a bit. To help prevent any trouble Sokka suggested that we stay in the woods this time and only go into town if it was absolutely necessary. It was well into the night and all of us were sitting around the camp fire telling scary stories. At the moment it was Sokka's turn.

"As it came it to the light that's when they realized it. The blade of Wang Fong was haunted!" Sokka exclaimed as he pulled of his sword and made some noises that were supposed to be scary.

"I think I liked the one about the man with a sword for an hand better," I said.

"Water tribe slumber parties must have stunk," Katara said as she lounged against Aang.

"I've got a got a good one," Aang stated making us all turn our attention to him.

"This is a true story too."

"Wait, is this one of those I knew a guy who knew a guy stories?" Sokka asked.

"No, it happened to me," Aang said causing us all to pay close attention as he told his tale.

"It was during my first month on my own in the Northern water tribe. After a long day of day of training Pakku suggested that we all relax for a little bit. Pakku started a fire and we all sat around and told scary stories like we are all going tonight. It was Pakku and I along with three other boys around my age who had been training with us. After a few of us shared stories that weren't to scary, Pakku began his own tale," Aang stated.

I however didn't get to pay much attention to Aang's story as I began hearing strange noises in the distance. As Aang reached the climax of his tale I heard something even more terrifying than the story.

"Guys did you hear that?" I said loudly. I noticed that Katara scooted closer to Aang as their heart beats skyrocketed in fear.

"What?" Sokka asked while scooting closer to me as his heart started beating louder along with Zuko's.

"I heard people screaming under the mountain, but it just…stopped," I replied as I too started to get a little scared.

"Okay, now even I'm getting freaked out," Zuko admitted.

I was so scared that I didn't even realize that someone was walking up to us until it was to late.

Katara's POV

"Hello children," said an old creepy voice from behind us.

"Ah!" We all screamed and huddled together.

"I didn't mean to frighten you," the old woman said as she emerged from the woods.

"I'm Hama and I own an Inn in town. The woods are no place for kids, why don't you all come with me and stay in my Inn," Hama said with a small smile.

We all just nodded in reply since we were all still shook up from the scary stories. Hama seemed nice. I mean she was letting us stay in her Inn when she knew nothing about us. We continued to follow her through the woods and into the town until we finally came upon her Inn. She walked in with us following close behind her as she walked into the dining room area and gestured for us to sit.

"You kids shouldn't be out at the woods at night especially with a full moon approaching," Hama said as she walked in and poured us all some tea.

"Why not?" I asked.

"People have been disappearing. They go in, but they don't come back out," she said with a creepy smile.

The five of us stared at her in shock and seconds later her sweat smile returned.

"Well, you kids are probably tired so why don't I get you all some rooms," she said after a few minutes of silence.

We all agreed as she led us into the living room area. The Inn seemed quaint and yet a little creepy. I couldn't help, but get this eerie feeling about the place. She walked behind us and examined the keys behind her before grabbing a few of them.

"You will need three rooms correct?" She asked with a small smile as she looked at Aang's arm around me and Sokka's arm around Toph causing all four of us to blush. Zuko smirked and I heard him try his best to stifle his laughter.

"N-no five rooms will be okay," I replied nervously.

"Okay then," she said with that same smile as she handed us our keys.

We all said our goodnights then headed off to our rooms. I reached the door and sighed in content as I opened it to reveal the nice comfy bed. I threw myself onto it and soon drifted off into peaceful sleep.

Sokka's POV

I awoke to the weird Inn keeper lady and my sister in my face talking about shopping. Soon enough they had dragged me and most of the others out of the house. Somehow Zuko managed to say he was 'sick' and get out of it. I groaned in frustration as we continued through town carrying a ton of groceries.

"That Mr. Yow seems to have a thing for you maybe we should go back and see if we can get some free moon peaches," Katara suggested as she walked along side Hama.

"You'd ask me to use my feminine charm to trick that poor man?" Hama questioned with a some what angered expression on her face.

"We're going to get along swimmingly," Hama exclaimed happily.

I don't know what it is, but there is definitely something about that Inn keeper that gives me the creeps. She seems to be hiding something. This town also seems a little odd. We continued through the town when I over heard a man talking with one of his customers.

"You mean you won't have any moon peaches until next week?" The customer asked.

"Well, I have to send the delivery boy into the forest and it's a two day trip. There is a full moon tomorrow night," the other man replied quietly.

"Oh, right. I forgot about the full moon."

"Yeah, I can't loose another delivery boy."

"I wonder what these people did to anger the spirits so much," Toph thought out loud as she too heard the conversation.

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out," I said. "You guys in?"

"I'm in," Aang said.

"Most definitely," Toph said from beside me.

"Why don't you kids take these groceries back to the Inn. I have a few more things I have to get," Hama said as she turned around to face us.

"This is a mysterious town you have here," I told her.

"Mysterious town for mysterious children," Hama replied creepily.

Katara's POV

Once we made it back to the Inn Sokka began jumping to conclusions as usual. I don't know what his problem is, Hama seems nice. Yes, she's a little odd, but that doesn't mean she's a bad person like Sokka sees her to be. I sat my bags down on the counter and began putting them away.

"There is definitely something off about that Hama," Sokka said as we all stood in the kitchen.

"I think she's hiding something," he added.

"Sokka, she's a nice woman who let us in her Inn for free," I told him.

"What did she mean about that mysterious children comment then?" He questioned.

"Oh, I don't know maybe because she found five strange kids camping out in a forest," I exclaimed while turning to him.

He didn't even reply as he took off down the hallway. I looked at the other two who just shrugged and followed after him. Sighing, I started after them too. As Sokka went down the hallway he began opening up cabinets and peaking through doors.

"Sokka what are you doing?!" I whispered harshly.

"I'm just trying to find out a little more about your good friend Hama," Sokka said as he tugged at the doors of another cabinet.

"Sokka, you shouldn't be snooping through her stuff!" I scolded.

At that moment the doors Sokka had been pulling on flew open and caused him to stumble backwards a bit as three puppets jumped from the cabinet. He yelped and withdrew his sword and swung it at them. After he regained his composure I walked over and pushed the puppets back in and shut the door.

"So she has a hobby, there's nothing wrong with that," I said warily.

"What are you guys doing?" Zuko said as he emerged from his room.

"Nothing out of the ordinary you know, Sokka being paranoid and Katara yelling at him," Toph replied casually.

"Okay," Zuko said with a shrug before going back into his room.

"Sokka where are you going?" I asked as he started up the stairs.

The three of us followed him up the stairs to bring us a single door. Sokka reached for the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge.

"It's locked. She's definitely hiding something!" Sokka exclaimed as he bent down and looked through the key hole.

"What's in there?" Toph asked.

"Whatever it is I think we should just leave it alone," I suggested.

"It's just a box," Sokka said.

"Maybe it's buried treasure," Toph exclaimed sarcastically.

"Okay, we know what it is so we can leave now," I said.

Sokka ignored me and pushed open the door with his shoulder. We all flooded in and looked around and the seemingly empty room. Sokka immediately went to the box with the three of us trailing after him.

"I need a key," he said.

"Oh, let me see it," Toph asked.

She took her meteor bracelet from her arm and bended it into the shape of a key before sticking it into the key slot. She then began to twist it around.

"Guys, I don't think this is such a good idea," Aang said nervously.

"Yeah, she could be back any minute," I added.

"Hurry up Toph," Sokka said.

"I'm trying, this isn't as easy as it looks," she said as she struggled with the key.

"Sokka we shouldn't be doing this," I said.

Before another word could be spoken the box clicked open. We all ran to Toph and gathered around the box as she tried to open it.

"I'll show you what's in the box," a voice came from behind us causing us to jump and scream.
