I won't spend much time rambling to you because I know that you guys really want to read the story! Here's chapter 23! (The song in italics it "All You Wanted" by 'Michelle Branch')
Chapter 23
I wanted to be like you
"Say goodbye Katara!" shouted Sasha. Her grip on Katara's neck was unbearable.
"Good...bye.." said Katara.
I wanted everything
"That's the spirit..." whispered Sasha. Suddenly, crakes begun to form underneath Sasha. The crakes continued up the wall, the crakes even appeared in the ceiling. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" screamed Sahsa as she let Katara go.
So I tried to be like you
Water seeped slowly out of the crakes and onto the floor. "Is that it? That's your best defense?" said Sasha.
"No...THIS IS!" screamed Katara thrusting her bloody hands forward. Water began rushing through the crakes rapidly. The whole floor was covered by water in a few seconds.
And I got swept away
Aang threw one more rock at Zuko. "That'll teach you" said Aang landing back on the floor. But when he landed he heard a splash. He look below him and saw water.
I didn't know that it was so cold
Aang was confused. How did water get in the ship? Did he do this? Aang spun around to see Katara water bending.
And
you needed someone
to show you the way
"KATARA?" shouted Aang as he hurried towards Katara and stood next to her. Katara didn't even look at his face. She continued to water bend. She was in full concentration, and Aang was not going to break it.
So
I took your hand and we figured out
That when the tide comes
I'd
take you away
The ship shifted when the water got high enough. The ship couldn't support the weight...the ship was...sinking...
If
you want to
I can save you
The ceiling toppled down, making the ship sink even faster. "We need to get out of here!" shouted Aang as he grabbed Katara's hand and ran.
I can take you away from here
"What about Sokka?" shouted Katara.
"I'm right here" said Sokka as he grabbed Katara's other hand.
So
lonely inside
So busy out there
Katara smiled at Sokka and at Aang. 'I'm not a reject anymore...'
And
all you wanted
was somebody who cares
The three ran out of the room, and into the hall. The hall was flooded a lot worse. The murals where coming off of the walls, making the water all different colors, just like a rainbow.
I'm
sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
"Which way is the exit?" shouted Aang.
"How am I supposed to know!" shouted Sokka.
"Then what am I supposed to do?" shouted Aang.
"MAKE AN EXIT!" screamed Katara.
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on
"She has a point..." said Sokka.
"SOKKA, SHUT UP, AANG GET US OUT OF HERE!" screeched Katara. The water was above their knees now.
Please
can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're
gone
"Stand back!" shouted Aang. He aimed his hand at the wall. 'Focus'.
If
you want to
I can save you
The wall exploded and made a small whole. But large enough for Katara, Sokka, and Aang to get through.
"What are we going to do? Swim?" shouted Sokka as he looked out the whole.
I can take you away from here
"Swim or drown!" shouted Katara.
"Swim..." said Sokka.
"What about... 'Appa?' said Aang, grinning.
So
lonely inside
So busy out there
"APPA!" screamed Katara and Sokka at the same time. Appa appeared in front of the whole.
"Thanks buddy" said Aang jumping onto his back.
And
all you wanted
was somebody who cares
"Come on Sokka!" shouted Aang. Sokka jumped onto Appa's back also.
"Katara, let's go!" screamed Sokka.
All
you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be
there
Oh, yeah
Katara was about to jump when Sasha slammed into her. "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" screamed Sasha.
"NO!" yelled Katara trying to run towards Appa.
If
you want to
I can save you
"OH YES!" screamed Sasha. She grabbed Katara's head and dunked her head in the water. The water was up to their chest.
I can take you away from here
Katara opened her eyes under the water. They stung, but she had more important things to worry about. She tried to water bend, but she was so weak..she couldn't do anything.
So
lonely inside
So busy out there
She couldn't take it anymore, her mouth opened and took a deep breathe of water. She choked on it. "NO!" she heard someone scream. Then she felt Sasha's grasp let go. Two hands came in the water and picked her up.
And
all you wanted
was somebody who cares
When Katara was out of the water, she choked on the air. She vomited up water and food.
Please
can you tell me
"Aang..." said Katara as she touched his cheak. He could tell that she was very weak and tired.
So I can finally see
Aang put Katara on Sokka's lap. Aang jumped on afterwards. "Let's go.."
Where you go when you're gone...
