CH3- The Chapter
As I gazed upon that shameful sight I wondered how anyone could let this happen.
"How could anyone do this?" I asked in disbelief. "What could've driven any soul to commit this unforgivable act? Does anyone understand how sacred this site once was and now all essence is gone. All the love has disappeared. Nothing dwells in this dreaded spot, for all have fled! What, what, what?"
"Most of the time you're just too over dramatic," Katara said. "But now you're actually starting to make sense. I always thought your poetic abilities would never be useful."
I smiled. At least someone appreciated my work.
"All seems to be missing," I continued. "Silence has gripped all by the throat, yet I continue on with numerous figurative terms and, and-" Great. Now I'm stuck. "And- stuff."
What? What would you've done? You would've done so much better. Yeah, you're sitting there thinking I'm the idiot. I'd like to see you ad-lib in a tight squeeze like that. Yeah, I would. Anyways, the site was trashed. Or worse. It was hard to tell if it had been burned or what. Whoever did this is a true master of sabotage. I've gotta learn to do that so I can trash my brother's room. The ground was cold, hard, and black. Piles of ash and dirt were everywhere. Stray pieces of wood and fabric lay scattered. There was no trace whatsoever of any life. I was the first one to actually walk there. I moved slowly and suddenly envisioned what had happened. (I figured that out later.)
I was walking down a gravel path, passing many grass huts. Stands selling all sorts of foods and items. The site was inconceivable! So many people! All the conversation! Wow! It was so amazing! As I continued down the path I saw a stand selling desserts. I could not resist any dessert whatsoever. I eyed the cart and tried to walk toward it, but I just kept on going. I tried so hard to move my feet to just, you know, walk over there, but my feet were being very stubborn and wouldn't move. I tried to call for help. I shouted, but no one seemed to hear me. Weird. All of a sudden, I started whistling. No! I hate whistling so frikin' much! I never whistle! What the monkey is going on? I just gave up and settled back for the ride. I rounded the corner, took a right. Left. Right. Right. Right. That was stupid I could've just gone left! What's wrong with me? After walking for what seemed to be forever, I came to a dead end. Wow. The rest of the village had been just a road and now I was looking at a calm site. I stepped slowly onto the soft, green grass and sat down by a statue. It was hard to tell exactly what the statue was supposed to be. After sitting silently for a while, I gazed into a bucket of water and saw my reflection. Ahhh! It was NOT me. My hair is not that short! My eyes are not blue, and furthermore, I NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER NEVER NOT IN A MILLION YEARS WILL EVER EVER- wait a minute.
I blinked, and suddenly I saw myself again. Me. Me. Just to be sure I scratched my head. Puffed my cheeks, stuck out my tongue. I maneuvered my face into weird expressions just to be sure. After I was convinced that I was me again, I decided to have a little fun. I love making faces in mirrors and on windows. I did a funky eyebrow thing where I move one up and the other down. Then I move them both up and down at separate intervals and it's so frikin' funny! (To me at least.)
"That was really weird," I said turning my head.
"What?" Sokka asked. "The faces you were making? And you guys think I'm weird..."
"Yeah," I said. "I'm definitely not referring to my weird vision."
"What vision?" Katara asked. She seemed interested.
AN- Ya know what I just hate? I hate words like interesting cause its pronounced in-tres-ting but its SPELLED I-N-T-E-R-E-S-T--I-N-G so it looks like its pronounced in-ter-est-ing. I have never heard anyone say it like that so its just one of those things I really hate and uhh back to the story...
"It was very strange," I said looking out into the distance which I do a lot.
"Uh, Sarah?" Katara began waving her hand in front of my face.
"What? Oh yeah! Sorry, I zone out a lot. My friends do say that I have ADD."
"What?"
"Nothing. But anyways, I was walking down a street and I came to a small little field-type-thing and sat down. I saw my reflection in a bucket of water and it was definitely NOT me. That really cleared thing up for me."
"How?"
"Well, I saw a food cart, and I'm the sort of person who eats, well, everything, and I tried to get some food, but I couldn't move. And it was a dessert cart! Dessert is the best part of the meal and I was in someone else's body. Someone who obviously doesn't not understand that without dessert the body would not function properly and that it is completely necessary to be consumed at least twice daily. If you really think about it chocolate is a vegetable. Chocolate comes from cacao beans. Beans vegetable. Sugar, a main ingredient, may come from sugar beets. Beets vegetables. Come on!" Oh fart-knocker. I'm doing again. Why can't I focus? Stay on one subject? Maybe I do have ADD. I wonder which one. There are different Attention Deficit Disorders like ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder, but I know it's not that one. Darn it! I'm doing it again! "Anyways, I was walking but I wasn't in control. It's hard to explain, but it was as if I saw everything in someone else's perspective."
"Where do you think it was?" Katara asked, her large eyes getting rounder. This scared me a little, so I inched away just a tenny tiny eensy weensy itty bitty bit.
"Well, I - "
All of a sudden I heard a crash and someone scream.
"Holy crap of a monkey! Who was that?" I yelled getting up to look around. I started running around cause the voice sounded all too familiar.
AN- yeah I know cliffie thingy and familiar is another one of those words like interesting! I hate it I hate it I hate it! it makes you wonder who comes upwith this stuff. Sorry I'm being weird now. Add-def moment... (Add-def is another ADD thing. Attention Deficit Disorder so you know add-def... get it? No? Oh, that's ok.
