Ch 2. Raven-Colored hair
Sorry it took me so long to update ppl! I'll be better in the future! I sorta promise...
And yes, everyone I am working on longer chappies, I just wanted to make sure you were paying attention first (Well,I hope you are)
The girl's sudden faint had shocked them, but not so much as to not remember that she
wasalone in the middle of the mountains. Katara, although angry at Aang for paying
attention to another girl, was nice enough to bring water into Appa's back so the girl
wouldn't be parched when she woke up. Upon further inspection, the water bender was
quite dismayed to see that Aang was right,she was quite pretty. Her eyes-now closed-were
glazed green and contained in walnut-shaped orbs. She also had blue-black hair the reached
down to the hem of her shirt. Her face looked like an inverted triangle, and a slender nose
that came to a definite point.
As the girl tossed around in a fitful sleep, Aang was talking to Katara about what the girl
had said. "She said that she knew other airbenders," he said, with the beginnings to tears in
his eyes. "I hope she's right, I still can't bear that I'm the only one left. What if some of the
people from the temple made it? Maybe Ghyatso….." Aang trailed off, his mind on other
things. Katara thought about what he said. Although they had found that body at the air
temple, except for the pendant, there was no real way to show it was him, and a pendant
was only carved wood, wasn't it? Well, for whatever reason, it was worth trying to find
them. "Well, if anything, we will try to find them, wherever they are," Katara said
consolingly, she knew how Aang felt, and although she was reeeeaaally mad at
him, she'd help him find whatever family he had left. The only problem was that the girl
was still asleep, and Aang was too nice to wake her, Sokka was too wary-his last
experience with girls from the earthnation had made him very cautious with good reason
though- and Katara was currently too jealous to do anything, so all thy could do was too
wait until she awoke.
The girl slept through the rest of that day, and two after that one, although on the second
day, she seemed to be mumbling in her sleep, and the only comprehensible words that
came out were, "air bison," and though they reinforced Aang's decision to listen to her,
Katara knew that there was a possibility of this being one huge coincidence. However, on
the third day, when she finally stirred, while Aang and her brother were getting food from a
local village, the girl awoke very first words were, "Who's the watertribesman? He's sorta
cute." Katara was stunned speechless, and blinked rapidly at the girl. She could not believe
her ears, Sokka! Cute! That was simply unheard of! She knew that that one girl-Suki-on
Kiyoshi Island liked him, but she had thought that it was only out of respect for his abilities
as a fighter. He was her brother, for crying out loud! Not good looking, just stubborn as a
buffalo. Well, now that the girl was awake, she could ask all of the questions she wanted.
"How do you know air benders?" The surprised response was, "I can't tell you, only the
Avatar must know."
"Well you've come to the right place then," answered the girl with just a hint of
impatience creeping into her voice. "Well, since you do travel with him," It was obvious
that she had guessed as to Aang's identity, and there was no point in denying it. "There is a
small group of air benders living in a castle floating above the continent, constantly
moving, and led by an ancient monk who just woke up out of an enchanted block of ice."
This was almost too much information for Katara to bear, if it was Ghyatso, then Aang's
spell must have affected him as well, because he was the person Aang cared the most
about. The only real problem was telling if the girl was trustworthy or not. The only thing
to do was to wait until the boys came back with breakfast.
What do you think? Read and review (becasue you love me-and if you dont do it anyways, because you're nice, and if not...you get the point) I'm taking ideas, each one will be considered-the ones that aren't meant insanely anyways.
