I am so sorry for keeping you guys waiting for the next chapter. I blame the school, runs to kill the school! Here is chapter 2!
Chapter 2
Katara came into Aang's tent. Aang woke from a start. He dreamed that he was walking with Avatar Roku in the woods. His eyes were blurry then he finally saw Katara standing beside him. "Aang, wake up sleepy head," she said. She ran out of the tent. Aang rubbed his eyes. He walked outside and saw that they were near woods.
"Are we close to the Earth Kingdom?" he asked Sokka.
"No," he said bitterly. Ever since Princess Yue died he had been even better than before.
They saw prince Zuko's ship. "We need to get to cover," Katara said.
Sokka steered Appa into the woods so they could be hidden. Katara's hair hit Aang in the face. He felt quite faint.
Kane starched and yawned. Yumi was fast asleep on the floor. She had come into Kane's room saying that she was not going to sleep with a bunch of guys in the same room. Kane thought it was funny. Kane crept over Yumi so not to wake her and walked out in her night gown.
She walked to the rail and saw Iroh standing there. "Good Morning Iroh!" she said happily.
"Hello Kane. Are you all right? You are starting to look a bit pale."
Kane felt a pain in her head. Iroh gasped as he saw the Pain Spirit play with Kane's head. Kane squatted on the grown.
"Maybe you should go and get some rest, Kane," Iroh said helping her onto her feet. "Yes, maybe going back to bed will help my head."
She didn't know why she started to feel this pain. She felt fine just a minute ago. She said goodbye to Iroh as they got to her door.
Very strange, Iroh thought. Why would that spirit want to attack a young girl?
Kane entered her room. Yumi was still asleep. Why did this not surprise her? She clutched her head, then her necklace. She felt the warmth of her long lost brother go though her body, and her pain went away.
Kane walked over to her bed and lay down. Her dreams floated in her head. There was a dragon, a fire dragon, and a wolf like creature staring at her. Looking after her you might say. She stared back at them. The dragon nodded at her, and the wolf showed her a small boy with an arrow on his head. Kane knew what she must do. She felt pain go through her body and woke up. She had to tell Yumi the truth, the truth of what happened to her brother the day of his death, and the truth about him himself.
She opened her eyes and looked into the face of Yumi. She looked scared for her friend. "Yumi," Kane said, her voice faint and seemed far away. "I have to tell you what happened to Mamoru. First his name is not Mamoru, it is Ryu, it means dragon. We kept his name a secret because the Fire Nation was after him. He also had the power to Fire Bend, but we also kept that a secret. The Fire Nation was after him because he helped the Earth Benders get away when he was twelve. They were angry with him. He barely escaped Zuko's father.
"They called him Mamoru because he helped the Earth Benders. Not because he could Earth Bend. I am telling you this because I know Ryu would want you to know. Also on the day of his death, I saw him die. I had dug a small whole in the big whole. I looked at him, he looked back. I also saw who killed him, Yumi, I want that man dead! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" Kane could not talk anymore; tears were coming out of her eyes. She could not remember fully who the man that killed Ryu was, but she knew she would sometime.
"Kane, you are sick, I believe you, but you need your rest," Yumi said.
"What time is it?"
"It is midnight."
Kane saw her reflection in Yumi's helmet. Her hair was longer. All the way down to her knees. Kane said good night to her friend and went back to sleep.
Kane's dreams were strange. She was in the woods; leaves were falling all around her. Where ever she was, it was fall. She looked up at the trees and saw that when a leaf fell another took its place and fell. It was beautiful. She looked at her hair and saw that it was at her knees still. Then she saw a light blue butterfly. She didn't understand why she thought she should follow it, so far her feelings haven't been wrong, so she did.
She saw the wolf like creature again. It was light blue as well. Then it turned into a human. She had long light blue hair. She smiled at Kane and said, "Hello Kane, I am Tala, the Wolf Spirit, I was the last Avatar helper. You are the Avatar helper as well. No questions let us talk as we walk. There is someone that wants to meet you."
Kane was shocked. Tala was already striding ahead. She turned around and said, "Are you coming?" Kane quickly ran to her.
"You know I was in the Air Temple. I mastered Air Bending first. That mark on your forehead, the Ying and Yang sign, it is an honor to have. You should be very proud of it. It will come in handy some day.
"Tala, where am I?"
"You are in the Spirit world. Our time is short let me explain. Do you know why that instead of brown or black hair you and I have blonde or light blue? Of course not, I knew you wouldn't know. It is because you and I are the Avatar Helpers. We might not be as strong as the Avatar but we can do all Bending just the same. The Avatar Helpers are to stand out so the Avatar can find us anytime he wanted."
Then they stopped and saw the fire dragon coming down to the ground. Kane felt as if she had met this dragon a long time ago. "Kane, meet your brother. He was allowed to come to the spirit world when he died because he was so young but so brave to help out some people he had never met. He went back when all had run."
Kane couldn't believe she was looking at her brother again. She ran up to him and gave him a big hug.
"Iroh, something is wrong with Kane," Yumi said running into a room where Iroh and Zuko were talking. "You, what are you doing here?" Zuko asked standing up. "Who cares what you have to say this is about Kane she is in trouble I can't wake her."
Iroh got up and they all ran to where Kane was staying. Her birthmarks where showing of all the nations and her eyes where flashing green, red, blue, white, and yellow. Her hair was also to her ankles now. "Uncle, what is wrong with her?"
"She seems to have gone into the spirit world."
"But I thought only the Avatar could do that."
"She is the head Avatar helper they have the same ability as the Avatar." This surprised Zuko.
"We have to take her to the Avatar." He grabbed her and put her on his back and took off to the bridge to get on land. He ran to the woods with Iroh and Yumi right behind him, he knew that he would find the Avatar there.
"Ryu I can't believe you are here." She looked into the fire dragon's eyes and saw that they were grey just like Ryu's.
"He can't turn back into human form, that is how we agreed to let him stay he is to remain a dragon for on."
"I don't care he is the great Ryu the great Dragon!"
"I must tell you that your visit is short here this time. You were hit by the pain spirit. He set off the connection between you and the spirit world and because he is pain you might die if you stay too long."
"WHAT!"
"Don't worry Zuko is taking you to the Avatar he will come for you and get you."
"Oh, okay."
"That Zuko really cares about you," Ryu said to her.
Kane started to laugh really hard. "Yeah right, he cares more about the sea than me. That is a good one."
Sokka saw Zuko running with a girl on his back he jumped in front of him and asked, "Where do you think you are going with that girl?"
"Tell me where the Avatar is. This girl needs help and she needs it now."
He saw that the girl was glowing just like Aang does when he is in the spirit world. Then he saw Iroh and another girl come running up. He thought the girl b Iroh was cute but noticed that she was fire nation.
"Who is that girl?"
"That is Yumi she is here with her friend Kane, WHO NEEDS HELP NOW!"
"Ok Aang is over here with Katara."
Aang was practicing his water bending with Katara. Zuko noticed that Sokka has been strange since Yue died. When Aang saw Kane and Zuko told him what had happened Aang had agreed to going into the spirit world to get Kane.
He reached down and touched her and entered the spirit world. There he saw Roku. "Avatar Roku what are you doing here?"
"I have come to take you to Kane she is ready for departure if you don't hurry she will be lost forever."
"Ok Avatar Roku." They began to walk until Aang saw a blonde girl playing with a fire dragon. "Wow, it's a fire dragon," Aang exclaimed with excitement.
"Yes it is the young girl's, Kane's, brother."
"Her brother is a fire dragon?"
"His name meant dragon and he was a great fire bender, it is only natural that he is to become a fire dragon."
"Oh, you mean… her brother is gone."
"From human form yes but in spirit, as long as she always loves him he will never be gone.
The girl stopped playing and she looked at Aang and smiled at him. "You must be the Avatar, I am Kane." She held out her hand and she shook it. Tala smiled as the two looked at each other with wonder.
"I've never seen anyone with blonde hair, white yes, but blonde and I have been around for a hundred years." He smiled and put a hand behind his head.
"Well, I have been around for fifteen years and I have never seen a bald kid with an arrow on his head."
They laughed together. Tala was very pleased that the two seemed to like each others company even though they just met. "Time is growing short you must leave the spirit world now," Avatar Roku said.
Kane hugged her brother good bye, she did not want to lose him again but she knew she would see him soon when she comes back to visit. Aang held out his hand and she took it. They ran full speed to the spot where they had come from, so they could return to their bodies.
They reached the spot that they entered and Aang looked at Kane and said, "Hold on Kane." They jumped and reentered their own world. Aang came back with a jolt but Kane didn't move.
Zuko looked at her and then looked at Aang he got up with anger in his eyes, "Why isn't she back yet?"
"I don't know she had a hold pf my hand."
They all looked at Kane lying there very still and then her head fell and the glow of her birthmarks went away and her eyes closed. Zuko got up and charged at Aang, "You killed her!"
"I didn't-"
There was a big flash and Kane's eyes flew open. Everyone just looked at her. "Hey everyone, what is going on?"
She got up slowly and realized that her side was burning like fire. She looked down and saw that Zuko's hand was on her waist about to pick her up.
"Hey there, what the heck do you think you are doing to me?"
"Bringing back my prisoner to the ship," he said.
"YOU'RE WHAT! I am not your prisoner buddy-boy."
"Yes you are." He picked her up and put her on his shoulder o run off. Kane got her foot and hit him hard in the ribs. Zuko doubled over in pain. He dropped her and quickly stood up to grab her again. Kane bent done and kicked him and his legs to make him fall down. As he fell she got her elbow and jabbed him in the gut.
"Kane come on lets get out of here!" Yumi said as she and the others ran out quickly.
"Sorry Zuko." Why must I feel sorry for the guy I beat up? WHY?
Kane wasn't watching where she was going and ran straight in to a flying bison. Her eyes went wide as she had to stretch head all the way up just to see the face of the bison. "AHHHHHHH!"
"Get on!" Aang said to her. She quickly claimed on and they flew off. She looked over the side and saw Zuko running out of the tent. His face was very strange from up here.
"So who are you two?" the water tribe boy asked.
"I am Kane the Avatar Helper. And this is my friend, Yumi the beautiful flower of the Fire Nation."
"You are a fire bender!" the water tribe boy asked, basically screamed in Yumi's face.
"Yeah, what of it?"
"You are the enemy."
"I haven't killed you yet have I?"
"No."
"Then I am not the enemy freak!"
"Who are you?" Kane asked to try to stop the fighting.
"I am Katara, this is my brother Sokka, and this is the Avatar, Aang," the water tribe girl said.
"That is awesome."
Zuko watched the bison fly off. His uncle came out of the tent. "Zuko I have good news and bad news."
"I already know the bad news, the prisoner escaped, so what is the good news?"
"The good news is that I have finally found our map, it was in my pocket the whole time!"
Zuko felt like killing himself. What the heck did I get myself into?
That is it for chapter two, three will becoming to a near you!
