-TO BE CONTINUED AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER-
Monk Gyatso said it again. "There's a meal in the front courtyard in five minutes."
The boys in the room cheered. Gyatso smiled. "The women shall be there, too." He turned and shuffled out of the room. Chun scowled from his hammock as the others all crowded around Aang, laughing and congratulating him.
Aang was confused. "Wha…?"
Yu slapped his back playfully. "That means Yin'll be there, Aang!"
Dong and Chang laughed. Aang looked out the window to the front courtyard. He could see the low tables and the dots of mats. Were there really so many people in the temple…?
"C'mon, we'd better be going," Chang said, heading to the door. Dong and Yu followed, Aang hurrying reluctantly out of the room after them.
Chun scowled after them even once the door was closed.
A monk was placing the airbenders onto mats in a girl-boy-girl-boy fashion. Aang sat down on the mat the monk showed him to. Yu and Dong were on the opposite side of the low table. After a moment the monks tried to quiet everyone—a futile attempt, of course. Soon the hungry airbenders began eating ravenously, the rice disappearing as quickly as the fruit.
Aang felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to Yin. She pulled him up before he could question why, leading him off the courtyard to the path below it. As he left the table, he could almost feel the whispers of the others.
Yin stopped when they were out of sight and stood, glaring at Aang. He fidgeted. "Um, hi, Yin…?"
Yin narrowed her eyes and grabbed Aang's face, glowering into it. "Why were you peeking on us the other day?" she hissed.
Aang turned red immediately. She let go of his face and stood, arms crossed, surly at him. He stammered a bit, looking at the ground, shame flooding into him. "I…Yu…you see…"
Yin stopped him by interrupting fiercely, "Do you want to know why I was so upset?"
Aang looked up. Her face had softened; she looked almost about to cry. He shook his head, dumbfounded.
She grabbed his face again. "Aang, my parents are missing. Their flying bison was shot down by firebenders. They say that it's the start of a war." She stared at him, awaiting an answer, and then let go and looked to her feet. "I believe that they're dead, Aang…"
Aang gawked at her. "No, they can't be dead…" he began, but she turned and took off running. Long after she disappeared around the corner of the cliff, Aang was still watching.
