It has been a VERY long time, but I've decided to bring this back. I'll add a chapter as often as a can throughout the next month, finishing when I get to 31 stories, one for each day in October. Remember guys, read Stories by the Fire. This is only the sequel. I cannot stress that enough! This chapter's story I modified slightly. The original is from The Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark Series and inspired by commonplace events and fears in 19th century England. I might also point out that since I haven't worked on this in awhile, some of my writing style may be a tad different.

"And from that day on, all of Dingbang's children and grandchildren were born without livers"

Toph finished her story with a smirk. Throughout the story, she could feel everyone's fear, their hearts racing, and their breath quickening. Either that or Zuko had taken off his shirt.

"That was good," Ty Lee said.

"Though, the ending to mine is better."

After some heated debate as to which story was scarier, Aang announced that he would tell the next story:

"Zhen Fang had an strange illness that made her faint. One day, she fainted and did not wake up. She stayed asleep for many months.

One sad autumn day, Zhen Fang died, leaving her husband bereft. He had her washed, then dressed in her finest clothes and the few jewels she owned. After the funeral, she was buried in the little graveyard just outside of town.

"May she rest in peace," Everyone said.

But there was someone who would not let her rest. That night, a grave robber crept into the cemetery. He had heard that a woman had been buried wearing diamond and ruby rings. He planned to exhume her body, take the rings and sell them in Ba Sing Se.

The first part was easy, since the Grave Robber was an Earthbender, he could bend all the dirt out of the grave. Next, he pushed her coffin out of the grave using the earth underneath it. Then he pried the wooden lid off and unwrapped her shroud.

There, encircling her pale fingers were the rings. The first was a gold and diamond ring, the second a ring with a large glowing ruby. The gems winked at him in the light of his lantern.

He went to pull off the diamond ring first, but it was stuck tight. No matter, he could just cut the entire finger off and take the ring…"

Ty Lee and Katara punctuated the story with a few noises of shock and disgust, but Aang kept talking.

"He took out his knife and began to saw into her finger. He did not expect it to bleed. Nor did he expect the corpse to awaken from what was supposed to be her eternal slumber!

Zhen Fang sat up in her coffin, understandably confused. The shock of the cold air and the knife on her finger had somehow brought her out of her coma.

"Who are you?" she asked, as she wrapped herself in her shroud.

To see this 'corpse' speak and move frightened the Grave Robber so badly that he attempted to flee, but in his panic he knocked over his own lamp, plunging himself into darkness. Unable to see where he was going he stumbled into the open grave and accidentally stabbed himself with his own dagger.

On shaky legs, Zhen Fang turned away from her open grave to leave the graveyard. While she walked home, her grave robber bled to death"

"You still can't tell a scary story," Toph sighed.

"The only thing I got out of this was a lesson in grave robbing,"
