Chapter 1: Running from tears

"Aang, Sokka. We have to move forward. If one of us gets captures or lost, the others will wait to days, then their going on. Promize?" they knew that it was the right thing and nodded. "Good. Keep your minds on that because I´m going to get us some water and mabye even dinner."

When I found a stream it started to get dark. But not the kind of night dark, no – the kind of "it´s going to rain any second"-dark. I couldn´t see the clouds that well since I was walking throug a forest, but still, I knew I had to get back soon, I´ll get soaked.

To keep myself confortable I started to sing: "Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreamin' of what could be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray

Trying hard to reach out

But when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanting to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I prayed I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get across the cold sea

Longing to what could be, far away

And breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

I won't forget all the ones that I love

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging round revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me

But, gotta keep moving on, moving on

Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta

Take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget the place I come from

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And breakaway"

When I stoped rain began to fall and my windfriend said "Singing again?" "Yes, but..." I paused for a sec. I wasn´t sure if I should tell him that.

You probably wonder what a windfriend is: Well, a wndfriend is anybody who has – at the same moment as you – a trgedy in life. We both lost our mother in the same moment. Now... well... my windfriend isPrince Zuko of the Fire Nation.

How I found out? He said - two years ago – his father gave him a scar on his face. and when I saw him at my tribe, I imediatly knew it was him. I mean how many sixteen year old princes of the Fire Nation have a scar an their face? Besides, he told me his name.

In that aspect I´m lucky - I mean realy lucky – I never told him my real name. Something told me to give myself a fake name – just in case. So I told him my name was Lisa. Why Lisa? I honestly don´t know. He knows Im from a Watertribe, though.

I know all his fears, all his troubles, all the ways to conford him. He asks me what friends to take, what he should say to someone if e injurded that person (or anything what comes near that), so we are very good friends. He said we could have been more then best friends if we could meet. But I know better than that.

You should know that I was shocked when I found out who my windfriend is.

He even said that I was one of the only people he could trust, one of the only ones who could make him smile.We helped each other through every single crisis. But I have the fealing the biggest ist still coming since I have to tell him who I really am, someday. I would like him to let him know and we still could be friends, maybe even more if I would love him, which I don´t - but you never know what faith will do next... Aunt Woo said I´m going to marry a powerful bender... oh, crap, I hate having teenage hormons. They make me think of crazy stuff. Come on Katara, get your thoughts strait.

"Lisa? hello? Are you alive?"

"Yes, I was in ..."

I was iterrupted by a loud "snap".

"Look who´s here!"

It was Zhao. Ahhh! I hate moments like this. "What are you doing here? Wait, let me think. Oh yes, now I remember: You want to capture me to use me as a bait for the Avatar. Well, guess what, you´ll have to fight me first."

Ten minutes and a lot af waterbending later

I was kicking his butt badly when someone shot with an arrow at me. Fortunatly, it stroked my side.

"Damn the one who shot that arrow."

Then I ran. I mean I ran for my life. It was like after 5 minutes till I found a cave.

"Lisa? Are you OK?"

Zuko and his Uncle Iroh were already occupiing the cave. Two of the last people I wanted to see today.

But I was fealing weakeer the second.

"No." I said out loud right behind Zuko who had his back towards me.

Then everything went black.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"No."

I tourned around to see a falling person. It was the waterbender who traveld with the avatar. I catched her befoer she hit ground. She most have heard the "Are you OK" part and then fainted.

"Uncle, do you know something to get the girl concius?" It was then when I noticed her wound by her waist. "And something to heal a bloddy wound. It looks like she got hit by an poisenous arrow. I think I need peppermint leaves to get that kind of poison out of her body..."

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Two uncondiscios hours

When I opened my eyes I saw two pairs of goden ones watching me. It took me a while until I knew who it was and how I came here. I sighed. I suddenly noticed a bandage around my hip. While I was still wondering why they helped me, Iroh said "Hello, young lady, my name is Iroh, but you can call me Uncle if you want. I don´t want to seem pushy but what is your name? And how did you came here?"

"It´s a pleasure to meet you, I heard so much about you. My name is Katara. The rest is a long story. Em, Did you heal me?"

"No, my nephew did. But we´ve got a lot of time, so you might as well tell us. And - by the way – you have so many herbs with you, so I wondered if you have some Gingseng. It´s my favorit kind of tea."

"I have some with me all I´d need is cups. ...Oh, and... thank you... prince Zuko."

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

I could see very well how Uncle Iroh was beccoming friends with that waterbender. And the gingseng gave her pluspoints, too. While they were making tea, Katara told us how she came here. After she came to the end she took a si of her warm tea and said

"So now it´s your turn. How did you get here? Oh, and could I have my canteen? Thank you."

"Well, we saw Zhao´s ship and decided that well see what he´s up to and went on it. We got caught by him, so we ran and fleed into the next hiding spot. I think he ..."

Before Uncle could continue the avatars friend opened her flask and bend a glove of water around her hand. I notice that she already opened her bendage and put her hand an her wound. And then something amazing happend. The glove started to glow and after she put her hand away, the wound was gone. Then she pulled up ker sleeve and healed a scar that she probably got from Zhao.

Unirretated Iroh continued talking

" I think he got destracted by you or we would be toast by now. (I would have never said that) Since that´s cleared how about you telling us how you got involved with the avatar?"

"I really don´t want to talk about it..."

It was then when I noticed that Uncle was planning something. And when he does that, I´m in deep trouble.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

I had my reasons not telling them. And I had to realise that Zuko never made things up about him or lied, so I decited he had to join our side, Aang´s side and the right one, too.´

Tell me how you liked it and what I should change.

R&R,
