Following fears, lost Bison

Ch7

Katara and Sokka ran as fast as they could along side Appa with Aang riding on him. Aang was recovering from the shock of what he saw; Momo sat on his stomach and stared at Aang with a clueless expression. Katara was now more worried about Aang more than she had ever been before. The look on his face was terrifying, she couldn't get that look of fear out of hear mind, she never seen him like this and Aang and been through a lot of scary stuff in the past. Sokka kept looking around making sure they weren't being followed by any one. (God I wish we could fly out of here, dame trees why you got to be so close together at the top?) Sokka thought, the tree tops were so close that the large bison couldn't fly up into the sky. As they were running a second human shaped creature just like the one that attacked Aang jumped on to the bison. None noticed it due to their panicking and worrying about their safety. Only Aang and Appa noticed, Aang started to panic but couldn't move. Appa jumped throwing both Aang and the man based creature off him as Momo flew over to Katara. Katara and Sokka turned to see what was happening. Aang rolling against a tree and the creature fell 10ft away from him.

Appa then ran through the woods trying to get away. Katara and Sokka ran to save Aang but were to far away; the creature had already risen and was at Aangs side closing in to take a bite out of him. "Aang, No… do something!" Both Katara and Sokka screamed, as the man creature nearly sunk its teeth into Aangs arm. But a burst of wind sent him flying through the trees this time it flew twice as far. As Sokka and Katara got to Aang he was on his knees with his hand extended as which he used to send the creature flying. "Aang, you're alright!" Katara explained hysterically, "Ye-yeah… l-l-lets g-g-get out of here." Aang said still a little shocked, "Don't have to tell us twice." Sokka said, happy to be rid of those things, Katara was nearly in tears because of what had happen to Aang. "Where's Appa?" Aang asked, "He ran when another of those guys jumped on him." Sokka answered. Aang looked and the ground and fell into despair his oldest friend was gone. "Don't worry he'll be alright." Katara said trying to comfort Aang, "I know, let's go." Aang said,

The trio ran for about 20 minutes before the reached a village. All along the way Aang never said a word, he just couldn't explain what he saw, and couldn't stop thinking about it. (I don't get it most of the first guys face was gone, and the second one was missing both eyes and his skull was showing. They also smelled like something dead…. dead, no they couldn't be.) Aang thought trying to make since of things, "Finally were in a village, safe at last." Sokka said out load, they looked around and saw no one, but came to no surprise after what happened in the woods. They walked up to a building hoping to get shelter and knocked on the door. "Hello someone, we need help. Hello….anyone home?" Sokka hollered, they then moved on to the next house, then the next until they had knocked on six different buildings and no one would even answer them. "What's with this place, people come knocking asking for help and no one will even come to the door. We know your home gees!" Sokka yelled. "Sokka stop yelling they're probably scared and don't want to come face to face with those people!" Katara scolded her brother; she then put her hand over her mouth when she listened to her self and remembered what happened to Aang and began to feel sorry for him as she looked at him. (God poor Aang he's still terrified. But why we have dealt with people who wanted to kill us before, what was different about those guys and why did they want to bite him?" Katara wondered, she wanted to ask but she kept stopping her self, she couldn't bear to see Aang like this and didn't want to cause any more trouble for him. "Face it guys because of these people we are stuck out here and we don't know who those guys are and what they were trying to do." Sokka yelled, she was brought to her since when Sokka started rambling again. "Sokka Stop!" Katara yelled at her brother. "Hey!" a voice cried out, Sokka and Katara stopped yelling to look over to see and young women having them over.

The trio ran to her and went inside her shop. "Thanks for helping us we were attacked by some strange people in the woods and we need shelter. Oh I'm Katara, that's my brother Sokka and this is Aang" Katara said "No problem I'm Cho and due to your yelling I got the feeling your all ok. But I got to say I'm impressed you all survived, that's rare." Cho responded, "Rare you mean this happens all the time and why did they try to bite us? People normally try to threaten you and take what you got but these guys looked like they wanted to eat us! Sokka rambled again; Katara tried to calm him down but was instead silenced by Cho. "That's true but they didn't want your money or anything like. They indeed wanted to eat you; normally people don't survive one of their attacks." Cho explained. With that said Katara and Sokka looked with opened jars in disbelief not understanding. Aang didn't look surprised but seemed to understand. "What the hell are you talking about, eat us why?" Sokka asked, "Because those things are called ghouls. They are the undead slave to demons and they eat human flesh. They aren't smart at all and have no will of they're own. If you've been bit you'll turn into one sorry to say." Cho explained to them, with that said they both rushed over to Aang and checked him from head to toe. (Thank god no bites on him. But this can't be right. No, ghouls or what ever don't exist and those people must be pretending that's got to be it) Katara thought, "Please have a seat and listen to me I know you don't believe but trust me I'm not lying." Cho said taking a seat on the contour, with little choice they all sat down with Momo still with Katara and listen to Cho explain about what was going on.
