Chapter One
Disclaimer: I don't own A:TLA. Never will.
"Please, Toph? Can I at least try?" Katara begged the blind girl known as Toph.
"Katara, no! It won't work!" Toph shoved away Katara.
Katara pouted slightly and walked away from Toph.
Toph bitterly sat on the ground. She didn't want Katara to do it.
"Toph, it might work!" Aang was on Katara's defense.
"What if it doesn't?" Sokka stood up for Toph, although Toph did not need it.
Katara looked a little sad and hurt.
Toph crossed her arms, regained a strong posture and even though she was blind, se looked as if she was staring down at Katara.
"Sorry, Toph. You were right. I should back off," Katara said, a little coyness in her voice.
"You should. Plus, being blind has given me great advantages. Like a Master Earthbender," Toph smirked.
The four were silent as the night started to set in.
"Well, I'm going to bed," yawned Sokka and getting snuggled up in his sleeping bag.
"Me too," Aang replied. Katara agreed and Toph even felt a hint of fatigue as the four laid down to rest. Toph curled up on the ground and with Sokka's incessant snoring, closed her eyes.
The moon was full, beaming white light onto the ground. And revealing a character lurking in the night.
Katara leaned in over Toph, careful she didn't make a sound. Even asleep, Toph could pick up on sounds and vibrations.
Her hand was shaking, and she gulped. Her outstretched hand was about a finger away from Toph's eyes. Toph had told her no, but Katara wanted to see if she was capable of a miracle.
I want you to see, Toph. Break you from your dark prison that is blindness. I know you'll hate me for trying to change you, but…here I go.
Katara gingerly laid her hands on Toph's eyelids, one hand on each eye. She started to see her hands beginning to glow a translucent white.
Toph stirred. Katara froze completely still, forgetting her hands still on her eyelids. Unfortunately, now they were onToph's eyes.
"Huh, Katara? Katara!-," Toph was cut short.
Toph felt a burning in her eyes, and for the first time in a long time, she screamed. Screams of anguish, pain and burning.
