Here's the naxt chapter.
Hiro and I were goofing around by the pond again. I had to stop, when I smelt the winds bring a strong smokey air to us, but the smoke wasn't a normal fire. Death seemed to ruin the smoke. I knew that something was completely wrong, for no one on Kyoshi should be burning anyone. I grabbed Hiro, and started towards Sokka's house, when three firebenders came out from that direction. We were too far from the pond, and I didn't have any water with me. I had to use that weapon called a sword.
Never once had I used it in Omashu, and I never even pulled it out of its scabbard. I had to now, to protect Hiro and me.
They surrounded Hiro and me, and one charged. Why do the bad guys always attack one at a time? I brought my heavy sword up to block his spear, blocked it, and grabbed it with my left hand. I brought the sword down and stabbed him in between the chest plate, and the second part of his armor protecting his stomach. His blood came out, covering my right hand. I never had killed someone before, but before I could be traumatized, the other two attacked me. I flipped one over me, turned, and went down on my knee over him with the sword. The other soldier almost stabbed me in the back, except Hiro had brought some water with him.
"You brat, I'm going to kill you." The man charge him and I brought Hiro's bending water around me, and froze the man's feet to the ground.
I ran over, and cut the man's feet from under him. Hiro laughed (Sokka's boy) and followed me.
When I did finally see Sokka, he was fighting Hai-daki in front of his house. Kirma wasn't in sight, and their house was burning. There were some dead Kyoshian warriors around, and Suki was fighting along side Sokka. Sokka didn't seem happy, and I only had to guess what happened. I started to run towards Sokka, but he yelled at me.
"Katara, get Hiro away from this island! I'll meet up with you later." he yelled.
I paused, wanting to go over and help, but Hiro was already calling Appa. I helped Hiro get onto Appa's saddle.
"Appa," these words tasted bitter to me, "Yip yip."
I got Appa flying towards Omashu, and I had to look back. Hai-daki easily beat the already tired Sokka. Sokka fell to his knees, and Hai-daki stood over him I turned before anything else happened, and covered Hiro's eyes. I could hear the Boiler yell something about completing his mission, and wanting to come after me. I was stuck taking care of my three year old nephew, and living with the horrors of being the only survivor of my family.
Hiro seemed confused and sacred from what happened. I tried to get him to stop crying, but it was hard, for I had tears running down my own face.
I couldn't sleep on the trip back to Omashu. I didn't want to have to explain to Zuko, why Sokka had lied to him and why he was now dead. I was lying down, with my head propped up on a makeshift pillow, with a sleeping Hiro cuddling by me. I had my left arm around him, and I realized that my hand was still covered in dry blood. Oh, the irony of this; Hiro looking peaceful in one arm and my other coved in some dead man's blood. I felt sick to my stomach.
Don't kill me or hate me.
