Cut my life into pieces-
This is my last resort-
Suffication, no breathing-
Don't give a fuck in I cut my arm bleeding-

This is my last resort-
Cut my life into pieces-
Iv'e reached my last resort-
Suffication, no breathing-
Do you even care if I die bleeding-

Would it be wrong-
Would it be right-
If I took my life tonight-
Chances are I might-

-Papa Roach, "Last Resort"

Aang, Katara, and Sokka arrived at the Venasuian Islands that following morning.
Crystal clear water with abundent life, white sands for miles, and friendly natives where there to great them.
"Wow! Even though it's 200 miles off the coast of the North Pole, it's so warm!" Katara beamed as she looked toward the cloudless skys,
and then was allmost instanly bathed in sunlight. Sokka, still in hang-over, stumbled off of Appa. "I told you not to have that Sake." Katara said mater-of-factly. Katara's only reply was a grunt, and to see her brother climb back up the giant animal to fall back into deep slumber.

Katara and Aang let out a tragic sigh in unicen. Then an idea sprung to Katara's head. "Hey, I'm going to go swimming. Do you mind watching over Sokka for about an hour or so?" Katara questioned Aang. "Sure. Just don't get stung or eaten by any thing." Aang warned. "Sure, sure. Seeya later!" Katara waved and she was off.
Finally the only waterbender for 1000 miles would get some much needed privacy. Katara shed all outer garments, but except for an azure colored tunic held to gether with snow colored sash.

Katara reached to ocean's edge, and eased a foot into the transparent waters. "Ahh..." She sighed in contentment. "This is more like it!" She immediatly dove under the water's surface. Enjoying the cool water on her skin was pure bliss. She swam back up and gasped for air. As soon as she caught her breath, she studied her surroundings. Nobody within looking distance, and pure paradise all around. "I must be in heaven..." She sighed happily as she floated on the water's surface. Amber locks spread out around her head like a fan, her body becoming one with the waves. Only one thing came to mind: Aang.

She was very much in love with him, but was it time to be playing the cards of romance? And with Prince Zuko hot on thier trail, anything could happen. Anytime, anywhere. And that thought is what scared her most. A sickening feeling formed in the pit of her stomach. The thought of losing Aang or Sokka was unbearable for her to even think. And why was she having such thoughts? Where they premanitions of the future?

Katara shook her head in objection and cleared her mind. 'Focus on become an airbender. And nothing more.' She told her self over and over.
She dove under the water and swam back to shore. When she emerged from the watery depth of the Algol-Betelgese ocean, her tunic clung to her skin, exposing many details unnoticable before. And a surprise for her when she looked upon the shore. Aang standing on the shore, staring blankly at her breasts.

Katara quickly covered herself with her arms. "Aang! What are you doing here! I thought you were watching over Sokka!" She yelled in embrassment. "Huh..." Was all Aang said in reply. "Huh? Oh... Sorry! Sokka woke up and found some pretty village girls to hang out with. He said he was just 'fine'. Abit over exagerated if you ask me. Then I came to find you..." Aang trailed as his mind once again slipped into the gutter.

"AANG!" Katara screamed as she turned redder than a beet. Once more Aang was snapped out of his trance and approched her. "Mind if I join you?" He asked, evil grin plastered his face. "Should I be scared?" Katara said as she backed away, afraid of what was going through the teen's mind at the moment. "No if you don't want to be..." He said as he removed his shirt and dove into the water, head first.
Causing a wave, and splashing Katara in it's wake.

"HEY!" Katara screamed. "What was that for!" She asked inquizitivly. "I declare war on thee, Miss Katara of the water tribe! An all out water war!" He said playful as he splashed her once more. Katara laughed and used what little water bending skills she had to fight her 'enemy'. Laughter and giggles filled the air as the two drew water at each at each other. Then somthing went horrible wrong.

Katara was drawn into the water by god-knows-what. Blood scent wafted through out the air and was mixed into the once blue hued ocean water. "KATARA!" Aang screamed in horror as he watched his beloved be taken to the ocean's depth. he dove into the water faster than a speeding bullet and searched for her. There she was. Tangled in seaweed, and uncouncious. Swaying with the ocean's current. Aang quickly came to her aid and rescued her from what seemed to be an iminet and permented watery grave.

When he emerged from the water, a blood spattered Katara in his arms, and a look of pain and defeat on his face. On the beach, Sokka lay soaking up the sun with about five girls from the village. "Look!" One of the girls screamed in horror at the sight of the couple. Sokka sat up and gazed upon the two in absoult shock. "KATARA!" He screamed as he left his group of followers.

Sokka ran to the two. "What happened to her!" He asked.
"I don't know! We where having a water fight and then something dragged her under!" "We need to get some help!" He called out to Leto, one of his girl friends. "PLEASE! GET US SOME HELP!" He screamed. Leto nodded and ran to the village to fetch her mother. They arrived within a minute. Leto's mother gasped at the sight. "What happened to her!" She gasped.
Aang retold the story, as Leto helped her mother with Katara. Katara was drenched in the sea water, and covered in seaweed.

When Leto removed the seaweed from her legs, what she saw made her scream.
From the her ankles to her knees, Katara had giant gashes and bite marks, all seeping with blood. "She was attacked by a manta-raye." Leto said in remorse. "What's going to happen to her!" Aang said in anguish as he gazed upon his beloved. "Will she survive?" Sokka asked, tears visible in his navy colored eyes. "She might... And she might not... It depends on how much poison was injected into her body..." Leto trailed as she wrapped Katara's wounds.

Aang looked away from the sight and covered his face with trembling hands.
He then emitted several tears as he imagined Katara, his Katara, no longer alive.
"We need to get her back to our hut." Leto's mother suggested as she helped carry the now frail body of the water bender to her hut. All nodded,
in approval.

Leto and her mother tended Katara's wounds with more discrimination than when they were on the beach.
They carfully cleaned her wounds, and wrapped them in soft linen. Once clean and in dry clothes, Leto placed a blanket over the delicate girl's body, and hopped she would live through this nightmare. When Leto emmerged from the hut, Sokka and Aang shot up from where they were sitting.

"Is she going to be ok!" One questioned. "How severe are her wounds?" The other interogated.
Leto breathed in deeply. "She will be just fine, she just needs to rest. Aang, she needs you. Why don't you wait with her"
Aang nodded and ran into the hut, and to Katara's side.

TBC...
