Author's Note- okayyy... here's ch8 and uhhhh...just enjoy it I guess. And if some-ums in italics in means that its what the character is thinking...

CH8- (once again NO TITLE)

As Yroki lay in her tent, she reflected on her day as she often did every night. It used to be pretty boring before she met Aang, Katara, and Sokka.

That figure was so strange. Fire's Control? Earth's Sustainment? Air's Path? Why did he leave out- Whoa. The fourth element. Water. Water's Flow. But who is it? Think, think, think. How would he know about the attacks? Very weird. I have to think. Who would send me that letter? Who knew where I was going? The only people that knew were me, myself, and I. But there had to have been someone else. Wait a minute-

Flashback- Yroki's POV

The village grew smaller and smaller and finally a tiny speck in the distance. Shortly after entering the woods, I found my godfather's tent. He was inside. I couldn't tell exactly what he was doing. When he turned around, he seemed delighted to see me. "What brings you here at this early hour?" he asked me. "I-I'm scared," I told him. "I can't take these stupid rules anymore! They're just not right! I shouldn't have to wear this!" I took off a small necklace."I should be able to love whom I want to! There's nothing wrong with whom my parents set me up with, it's just that I don't love him, even though he claims that he loves me! I can't think of anything else to do about it! His calmness alarmed me. "Well, what are you going to do about it?" "I-I'm running." He eyed me carefully as he reached into a small box and pulled out a pendant. "I wonder," he muttered. "What?" I asked wide-eyed in admiration of the pendant's beauty. "Here," he said handing it to me. "Wear this instead." "Wow," I said cupping it in my hands. I tied the blue-black ribbon around my neck. "As long as you wear it," he said. "I'll be with you. Just keep in mind that others may want it. This pendant's powers exceed those of the ordinary and I don't want you to be troubled by it. Never lose it. Don't give it to anyone. Only two people can control its power-" "Who?" I asked eagerly. "One of them is you, now that I've given it to you and you'll have to figure out the second one on your own." "But- " "The answer will come to you." "Why aren't you going to stop me?" I asked. "I cannot. You are the one who will walk your path. Not me. Not anyone else." "Thank you so much," I said as I hugged him tightly. "Thank you." He looked at me, "You must get going before anyone else wakes up." I left the tent and continued through the woods.

STILL- Yroki's POV

I really miss him. He was always there when I needed him the most. Now I'll never see him again. What was I thinking? Now there's no one. Aang, Katara, and Sokka are great, but I need someone like my godfather back into my life. If only I could talk to him one more time. He'd know what to do. He'd help me. Okay... DEJA VU... He's the only one that could be-but that means that- and okay now I'm really confused. If he's the only one that knew then he must be the only one to know about the events so far and he said that he was always there in the pendant so- oh. Now I get it.

BACK TO 3RD PERSON THINGY...

Yroki put her hand to her neck to finger the pendant's carving, but she didn't feel the smooth metal of the charm. It wasn't there. She felt as if her heart had stopped. It was gone. It couldn't be gone.

"No," she whispered. She peered out of her tent and saw that Katara was still outside. She slowly approached her and sat down beside her.

"Katara?" she asked.

"Yeah?"

"I lost something very valuable to me and I need your help."

"Of course," she said. "What's missing?"

"My necklace," Yroki said pointing to her neck. "My godfather gave it to me. It's extremely important that I get it back. It's all that I have left of him."

"Your godfather must have been very special to you."

"Yeah," Yroki said with a small smile, her voice growing louder. "He was the only person I could really talk to. It was like he understood everything and the things he would teach me! It was unbelievable!" She looked down and her smile immediately left her face. "Now I'll never see him again. And it's all because I was afraid. Now look how I wound up."

Katara looked a little offended.

"There's nothing wrong with it though," she said. "I'm just mad at myself, and I really miss him."

"I understand," Katara said.

They both stood up and began to walk towards the woods.

"I just have to know one thing," Katara said as they entered the woods to search for the pendant.

"What?"

"What do you see in him?"

Once Yroki realized what she meant, she just laughed and shook her head.

"Well?"

ANOTHER INTERMISSION... THIS TIME FEATURING DOUBLE STUFFS!... OREOS AND MILK ARE GOOOD TO ME... DA DA DA DA DA... BACK TO THE SHOW!

The air became cooler and the sky was nearly pitch black when Katara and Yroki returned to the site. A slow breeze blew through the calm night air.

"Where were you guys?" Aang asked approaching them.

"Looking for Yroki's necklace," Katara said.

"About that..." Aang started to say.

"What?"

"It's no ordinary necklace. I heard Zuko talk about it with another soldier. He said that two people can control its power and they're trying to find the other one."

"They know that I can control it?" Yroki asked.

"Actually they don't know. They said that I could."

"You? You're the one that I've been trying so desperately to find? The one that for sure would know how this thing works? It doesn't make sense! You probably didn't even know that it existed!"

"You're right about that!"

"I just don't get it though! I don't know what kind of power it has, because as long as I wear it, nothing happens."

"Have you ever taken it off?" Katara asked.

"Once," Yroki said. "And only once."

"What happened?"

"I don't know. All I remember is taking it off and placing it on the ground. It began to glow and then the next thing I knew I was in my godfather's tent.

"I thought he gave it to you when you left," Katara said, quite confused.

"He did, but sometimes I visit him. His tent wasn't that far."

"What do you mean wasn't?"

"He's not there anymore," Yroki said as she lowered her head. "But now, we have to figure out what sort of power this has. I know that for it to remain in a normal state it's either worn by one of the two or placed away from any person. It has a strange way of functioning. I've always kept a small box for it, just in case."

"So how do we find out if Aang really is the other one that can wear the pendant?" Katara asked.

"I've never thought about that," Yroki said softly. "There's got to be some way..."

She looked out into the distance and became deeply lost in thought.

"We'll figure it out," Katara said with a smile.

"How are you always so optimistic?" Yroki asked pulled from her thoughts. "I just try to keep a straight face, and you always see a bright side to everything. You're right though. We'll figure it out at some point. I just hope that it'll be soon enough."

She gazed at the night sky and sighed as she tried to locate her godfather among the stars.

"Remember that no matter where you are, I'll always be with you," he said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Always?" she had asked looking up at him.

"Always," he said as he hugged her.

"No matter what?"

"No matter what."

"I'll never leave you either!" she said, smiling.

Tears slowly fell from her eyes as she recalled this moment. She felt as if she would fall apart. She clenched her fist and held it to her heart. "Always and always, no matter what."
