Chapter 8
The Letter, the Package, Depression
"Luna? Luna, honey can you hear me?"
Katara slowly opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by Larry and Ellen.
"W-what, h-how long was I –o-out?" she asked still not fully conscious.
"For a week."
"WHAT?" Katara was fully conscious now.
"We have a letter for you."
"Huh? Oh." Taking the letter she opened the scroll and read it and Ellen asked, "Well who is it from?"
"M-my father, and Sokka and Gran-gran, and Master Pasku, my whole family!" laughed Katara and read out loud,
"Dear Sweetest Luna, -(It really said Katara, but Katara changed the name to hide her cover)
We are glad you are able to contact us, and we are glad you are safe, dad, Gran-gran, and Master Pasku are happy that you notified us, Gran-gran said you might've been dead from the illness.
Anyways I am fine, I am planning to go back to Kyoshi Island to see Suki, anyways I have gotten replies from Aang and Toph lately, not much from Zuko and Iroh, the latest letter I saw that was signed by Zuko was that he wanted to say hi to you, ha I thought that was a joke but I think actually meant it, oh well Aang found some Airbenders which is good, oh and did I mention that Toph and Aang are more than friends? Yeah cool eh? It seems that what people say, opposite attracts, yep certainly makes sense.
Anyways I invented something new, I am going to send it to you for Christmas, I am not sure if it snows in certain areas in the fire Nation, since you down south still, it should be still cold, but it is only autumn so I doubt it snowed yet ha! Well anyways hope you are do fine, please don't reply until I send you another letter at Christmas because I'll be probably be in Kyoshi by then, well talk to later, oh and I hope the package dad sent you came with this letter, he thinks you'll like it alright, there is a letter with the package from him to let you know, well talk to you sis, bye!
Love your brilliant brother,
Sokka."
"Aw, that's so sweet and here is the package." Replied Larry and handed Katara a package as she opened it, tears filled her eyes as she began to read the letter,
'Dear my sweet Katara,
This lovely dress once belonged to your mother, I know you are starting to look like her yourself, so that is why I am giving you her dress, like she was hoping to do eventually before she died, please enjoy. I am sure she is very proud of you, so am I, best wishes my angel.
I know you are a strong girl, you will look beautiful in the dress I am sure of it, let mother spirit bless you.
Mother blesses you,
Father.'
Katara let her tears fall as she opened the package and held the dress tightly against her as her tears streamed down her cheeks.
Ellen and Larry looked at Katara with sad eyes and left the room leaving her to cry on her own.
"Oh mother, why, why did you have to die?" cried Katara hugging her mother's dress.
Laying her mother's dress on her bed she walked out side and walked towards a cliff by the coast of the ocean.
The rain poured down hard, as she stood on the edge of the cliff as the waves splashed her.
Ellen and Larry looked at each as they watched Katara cry by the ocean and Ellen began, "We have to find a way to help her."
Larry nodded as he and his wife stared out the fogged up window.
Katara looked into the ocean and whispered, "Mother, I don't understand, why, why did you leave me far behind, why can't you be here with me where you can hug me?"
The chilly breezed brushed against her as she made her way back to the house…
And somewhere out there her mother stood in the spirit world watching her only daughter cry out her name….
Disclaimer: Yes indeed it was a sad chapter, I have to admit that I was crying, no seriously I was crying, I have such an imagination I can picture things right in my head.
Sniff Oh it was so sad! Tragedy memories….WAAAA!
