Me: Wow. I'm on a role. I just started this last night and now I'm on the third chapter.

Gidget: Don't expect her to keep up this pace.

Me: Hey! That wasn't nice.

Aang: I wanna know why Sarah called me little brother.

Sarah: Can I just tell him?

Me: No! You tell him in the story.

Zuko: When do I come back into the story?

Iroh: Would any of you like some tea?

Everyone: NO!

Me: This is getting way out of control.

Gidget: No duh.

Me: Shut up.

Gidget: I'll only shut up if you give me a treat. Wait a minute. Didn't your parents say that you aren't aloud to say shut up due to over usage?

Me: If you want a treat I suggest that you go away. gives Gidget a treat

Gidget: TREAT!

Disclaimer: I own Sarah and this plot but unfortunately, not Avatar.

Me: On with the story. Just so you all know it is night in this chapter.

Gidget: TREAT!

A Dark Past

Dinner came too soon for Prince Zuko. He wanted to stay in his room but his uncle insisted on his presence at the dinner table.

"The letter says that we are to meet my uncle at the port in the village on this island. We're very lucky. We know that the Avatar is on the island and we don't have to go back to the capital." Uncle Iroh said trying to start a conversation as Zuko picked at his food.

"I'm not hungry Uncle. I'm going to bed."

"Good night Prince Zuko. If you want I can bring up some tea."

"No. I hate tea. Good night Uncle." Zuko walked back to his room and plopped on his bed. Why had he expected his father to allow him to come home after he had been banished for two years? Soon he fell into a fitful sleep.

Sarah led them through the woods. Her every movement enchanted Aang. She moved so gracefully. It was no wonder that the Air Nomads all loved her. What had she meant by little brother? After about an hour of non-stop running they came to a small hut.

"Go inside." Sarah ushered them in.

"Now I know you have a lot of questions. Where should I begin?"

Katara and Sokka decided to keep silent and let Aang ask the questions.

"How long have you been following us?"

"I've been looking for you since you left the North Pole. I've been following you since yesterday evening when you landed."

"Why did you say you are the Lady Avatar? There are only supposed to be four and they are all dead."

"As we all know Lady Avatar Flairese was killed when she was twenty. She never had a chance to learn earthbending and airbending. She was supposed to be able to stop this war by training benders of every nation. If she had lived the Fire Nation wouldn't have been able to attack because the other nations would be too strong. Since she was killed she wasn't able to finish what she was supposed to."

"What is that?"

"Honestly, I don't know. All I know is that I'm the fifth Lady Avatar because I have to finish what she didn't. I have to help stop this horrid war."

"Ok. Next question. Why did you call me little brother?"

"Before I tell you Aang, you must know that I only had the best intentions at heart. I'm not the only airbender in this little hut with a title. Would you like to know what yours is?"

"Yes."

"Your title is Air Prince Aang, Avatar, Master Airbender, Lord of the Southern Air Temple, Son of Air Queen Serena and Air King Keith, Heir to Air Queen Sarah."

"Why didn't any one ever tell me I was your brother?" Aang couldn't believe what Sarah was telling him.

"I wanted to keep you safe." Sarah held back tears but Aang could see them glistening in her silver eyes. "I'm so sorry."

"Keep me safe from what?"

"Our father."

"Why did you have to keep me safe from our father?"

"Where you ever told about the rebel airbenders and how they attacked us?"

"All the kids were."

"Our father led them. Aang, what do you know about Air King Keith?"

"Not much. We never really learned about him, just you."

"He was a firebender."

"Aang, don't trust her! She's from the Fire Nation!" Sokka jumped in front of Aang with his boomerang ready.

"No I'm not. If you had sat and listened to what I'm about to say you would have never come to that conclusion. I hate the Fire Nation just as much, if not more, as you."

"If you hate them so much why was your boyfriend a firebender?" Aang asked.

"Not all firebenders are bad. James was very kind. He was the only one I could turn to for a long time."

"Why do you hate the Fire Nation so much?" Katara thought it would be a good time to intervene because of the miserable face on the young Air Queen's face.

"Like I said, our father was a firebender and he led the air rebels. He also killed our mother."

Flashback

"Come on Lizzie. We have to get back to the Eastern Air Temple for the meeting with the Fire Nation prince." Six year old Sarah impatiently told her five year old sister.

"I know Sarah. Can I please go pick some flowers? It'll only take a second."

Lizzie pleaded.

"Fine. Just be quick."

"Thank you Sarah. You're the best big sister ever." Lizzie hugged her and ran off.

Sarah looked down at her two year old brother Aang and sighed. "I guess we'll just have to wait for her."

"Queen Sarah!"

"What is it?" she asked the soldier that had called her name.

"The air rebels are attacking."

"Take Aang back to the temple and don't let him out of your sight. I have to look for Lizzie." Sarah ran. She had to reach Lizzie.

All of a sudden she hit something. She looked up and saw her father. "Father, the air rebels are attacking and Lizzie is still out there. We have to find her." she got up and started to turn when she saw her father wasn't moving.

"Father, what's wrong?" Sarah knew something was wrong. As she tried to figure out what it was her father threw a fire ball at her. Luckily the air told her and she put her arm up to shield her face.

She cried out in pain as it hit her left shoulder and she fell to the ground again. Tears formed in her eyes. She heard someone shout "Father!"

It was Lizzie. Sarah saw her father form another fire ball.

'No. Not Lizzie.' she thought to herself. Unlike Sarah, Lizzie wasn't a bender. There would be no air warning for her little sister.

"Lizzie! Get back!" It was too late. Her father had sent the fire ball. Sarah tried to stop it with the air but it didn't work.

"LIZZIE!" Sarah screamed as her sister landed on the ground with a thud, never to breathe again.

"How could you? How could you kill your own daughter?" Sarah yelled as she sent a blast of air at her father. Suddenly it dawned on her. "You killed Mother." Her voice was barely above a whisper. Why hadn't she seen it before? Why hadn't she realized that her mother's 'mysterious death' was murder? Why hadn't she realized that her father was the murderer? He didn't allow anyone else into her mother's chamber when she was sick. The doctor had said that her mother only had a little cold and should stay in bed for a few days. Sarah had seen her mother's lifeless corpse. She had seen the burns when she looked in her mother's coffin when she wasn't supposed to. Why hadn't she figured it out? After all her father was the only firebender there.

"It took you long enough to put two and two together, little dove." Sarah hated him and his little nickname for her. He sent a fire ball at her, but she pushed away with the air. They fought and Sarah obtained countless burns, but it was soon over. Keith sent another fire ball and Sarah sent a blast of air at the exact same time. The two attacks hit with such tremendous force that it sent Sarah and her father flying back in opposite directions.

Sarah woke up at the sound of voices. She opened her eyes and saw two soldiers and an Air Council member standing over her.

A soldier picked her up. "It's alright Queen Sarah. You're safe now." Sarah managed to look over to where her father's body should have been. It wasn't there. That meant he was still alive. She decided not to worry about that at the moment and fell into a deep sleep.

End Flashback

"So your father killed your mother and your sister." Katara said but she still couldn't believe it. The Fire Nation had killed their mother but she couldn't imagine losing Sokka. Similar thoughts were going through his head at the same time.

"I can't believe our father killed our family." Aang thought hard on what Sarah had told them about that day. Suddenly he whispered, "I remember." Visions of that day raced through his head. He remembered the warmth of this big sister's hand around his. He remembered Lizzie's face as she pleaded with Sarah to let her go pick flowers, and not knowing that it would be the last time he would see her.

"I thought you might."

"I can see it so clearly. It's like it only happened yesterday."

"So can I Aang, and I've relived it every day for the past 110 years."

Me: What do you think?

Gidget: -sobs- It's so sad! -sobs more-

Sarah: Why do I have to have such an awful past?

Me: I'm the author. If I want you to have an awful past you have an awful past.

Sarah: How rude!

Aang: I don't like our father.

Sokka: I still don't trust Sarah.

Me: That shows what an idiot you are. Don't forget to review!
