Difficult choices II
Ch 13
"What… what do you mean?" Aang asked, "I mean join us, become a demon and take the life that you have been deprived. You don't want to be the Avatar so why bother doing this; humans don't deserve to have your help. The fact that they need you to come to them and solve their all their problems show just how pathetic the human race is. They are like a child needing someone to hold their hand and fix their messes. Completely helpless" Kane said, Aang stood staring at the ground. (Maybe he's right. This was forced on me, I want a life and to love why should I have to give that up for people who will continue to fight and cause problems even after I fix them?") Aang thought, he then looked at Katara and saw concern and fear in her. "Aang you can't be seriously be considering this? You can't become a demon, your human and people need you, people care about you. Your life belongs to you not everyone else." Katara pledged, Aang saw her point and now was truly lost, both made good points. "Quite girl, this is his decision not yours. If he wants to live a normal life and worry about his own problems then that's his choice." Kane stated, "oh really then he should live a life as a demon and that will make his life better? Aang no matter what you are human or demon you'll still be the Avatar. He doesn't care about you only what you'll do for him and his master." Katara pleaded, Kane was about silence her when Aang spoke out.
"I'll stay human, Katara's right I'll be the Avatar no matter what and I have a life. People that care about me and I belong to me and my friends!" Aang stated, Katara was relived to hear that. But Kane glared at her then Aang. "You think you have a life? You haven't experience the pain that comes with a life. The pain in living and the agony of having feeling towards others and how they can hurt you. But trust me you will." Kane stated, after saying that Aang summoned a gust of wind to blow him away. Before he could unleash his attack Kane charged and disappeared and appeared in front of Aang grabbing him by the throat. Katara was about to use her water in the cantina when Kane grabbed her and threw her a couple yards away. "You're too slow, if you can't beat me how will you beat my master?" Kane said mockingly, Aang then summoned a whorl wind that surrounded them both pulling Kane away from Aang and sending him flying a couple feet. Aang then fired another blast of wind along with a couple of stones in it. Kane dashed to the side and charged again only this time shot his hand out towards Aang and the palm of his hand glowed green. Aang dodged to the right only to have Kane's hand brush his shoulder burning the skin. Kane came to a screeching halt and Aang fell to the ground grasping his shoulder in pain.
Katara gasp at what she saw and readied her canine again, Kane only laughed at the sight. "Burns does it? My body is filled with a deadly poison; it burns when it comes in contact with skin but deadly when injected in the body. Care to give up?" Kane asked, Aang rose and charged at Kane, as he ran a small tornado surrounded him. Aang began to lift off the ground and shot straight at Kane readying to give him a surprise. Kane merely grinned and extended his hand and from underneath his nails sprayed his poison. The poison was pulled into the tornado and surrounded Avatar; he relished this and dispatched the tornado, leaving his cloths and parts of his body slightly burnt. Aang kneeled for a second. Aang prepared to unleash a massive blast of wind and continue his attack when Kane now stood behind him his hand resting on the Avatars head. Kane laughed at the sight and how easy this was. Aang was frozen; he didn't know what to do. (He's going to kill me! I can't move! I can't do anything with out him getting me! He's faster than me! I'm really going to die! I didn't even tell my friends I turned 13 two days ago!) Aang thought, Katara then made her water whip and lashed out about to strike Kane from behind, as she attacked Kane jumped to the side and letting the whip hit Aang. Aang was knocked to the ground still in shock. Kane stood grinning at both of them. "Not yet, I told you… you would experience the pain that is being human and you'll learn what it really means to be human. The emotions you tried to deny your self will surface, death, anguish, hate, despair, you're going to learn just what these can cause and what kinds of pain these can cause the hard way. If your friends get hurt in the process it's your own fault. I'll see you both soon." Kane finished, he turned and disappeared as he walked away.
Katara ran to Aang to see if he was ok, tears ran down her face. "Aang please tell me your ok, please! Katara pleaded, Aang looked back at her and began to cry. "Katara I thought I was about to die. I thought I'd never see you again, I never been so scared, I haven't even celebrated my birthday yet!" Aang cried out, "Its ok Aang your ok, you're ok, no ones going to kill you. Katara said, Aang rested on Katara's shoulder crying like he lost his best friend. Katara didn't know what to do, didn't know what to say only hold Aang and do nothing.
