Chapter 10: Cured
Sorrowful Katara awoke. Shoot! I am still alive! She growled. The real Katara rolled her eyes. "Ya know, things would go much better if you just help Aang." Katara told herself. "No, if we cause trouble he will give up and we won't loose him." Sorrowful Katara said evilly. "Ok, Golem. Then what am I Sméagol?" Katara asked referring to the Lord of the Rings. She sighed. "Shut up twit!" She growled at herself. Katara looked around. Everything looked dark, just black and white there weren't any reasons for her to be alive right now. This is how she felt.
Katara moaned "Will you stop pouting? Let's check on Aang and Sokka." The real Katara told her. Sorrowful Katara pouted again. "Why? They can take care of themselves." Sorrowful Katara groaned unhappy. She stood up and went anyway. Sokka was sprawled out on the growled. She glanced at Aang who sleepily rolled in his sleep. Sorrowful Katara kicked the fire. "I hate fire, you remember what it does. What it kills. I used to be happy but I hate everything." Sorrowful Katara sighed. "You have issues." The real Katara breathed. "May I suggest a canceller?" She giggled. Sorrowful Katara wished she could hit herself, but it would hurt.
Real Katara moaned, "Can you bend?" She asked. "No, you cause so much trouble when I do." Sorrowful Katara said kicking a rock. Real Katara moaned. Sorrowful Katara walked over to Aang. He woke up to catch Katara staring at him. "Hi," He said rubbing his eyes. He sat up. She sat down next to him. "Can I talk to the real Katara?" He asked. Sorrowful Katara glared. "No, she's annoying to me." Sorrowful Katara told him. He sighed. "Katara I know you can hear me. Can't you just break through the spell?" Aang asked. "No, you idiot she can't. The bars wich trap her are like Irion to her." Sorrowful Katara responded.
He smiled. "C'mon Katara, I believe in you. I want to talk to you. This one is so boring." He said still smiling. Real Katara giggled. Sorrowful Katara twitched. "C'mon! Show this weirdo up!" He chuckled. Sorrowful Katara started to shake. Maybe if I make her laugh on the inside she can get loose. After all the bond of the spell are just made up of hatred, envy and sadness. If I make her feel the opposite of that maybe she will break the bonds. Aang thought it out. "Katara remember when those old ladies tried to kiss Sokka?" Aang said recalling distant memories. Inside Katara giggled more. Sadness, check. Aang said checking off his list. "Katara, you have everything to be lucky. You have a caring brother, a best friend, and you get to see all the places no one else does! There's no need to be envious." Aang continued. Real Katara thought it over. "He's right. I am very lucky." Real Katara spoke through Sorrowful Katara's mouth.
"What is going on!" Sorrowful Katara gasped as the woven spell broke thread by thread. Envy, check. Aang smiled. He moved closer to her. She looked at him. Her eyes were turning from black to a light blue. Coldness went down her spine as he came closer and then it was replaced with sheer warmth as his lips graced hers. Sorrowful Katara's pale hands contained color. Then Katara took over and kissed Aang back. He smiled. Score! Whoa! Aang said as blue lights danced around her body.
I kissed her that shows love. If Sokka wakes up then he will be overprotective. That's family love, which is the opposite of Hatred. Aang said thinking. He used air to hit Sokka who woke up and rubbed his head where he was hit. Then he opened his eyes and saw them. He gritted his teeth as he realized that they were kissing. He grabbed Aang's color and pulled him back. Katara opened her eyes.
"I'm me! I am not bending either!" She gasped in realization that she was cured. "If I can get back, you will die!" Sorrowful Katara screamed in her head. Katara felt herself feeling happy, lucky and in love. "Get lost." Katara told her as she crushed Sorrowful Katara in her head. She shattered and was no more. Katara opened her eyes and watched Sokka tackle Aang. She jumped up with glee and tacked Sokka with a big hug. He fell back in surprised and then looked down at his cured sister that clung to him. She cried happily. "I'm free! After a whole year I am finally free!" Katara said as Sokka held his sister in his arms also very happy to see his sister back.
Sokka took a step back. "So how did you fix her?" He asked Aang. "Well," Aang said beginning to explain. "I just thought of what wakes the spell's cage, Hatred, envy and sadness. Katara was only in there because she felt these things, the spell just strengthened it and made Katara's metal self trapped and brining in her hate, envy and sadness. Then the spell made someone out of it and that occupied Katara's physical self. I thought that if I do the opposite she will feel better. So I convinced her that she was lucky, happy and in love." He said saying the last part really fast. "And then the spell broke." Aang finished.
Sokka's jaw dropped. "How did you know? You figured it out all by yourself?" Sokka gasped. Katara nodded impressed. Then Aang's eyes turned a glowing blue. They stared as Aang turned to Roku. "I'm sorry to step in like this but I can't let Aang take all the credit. Last night, I gave him the answers in his dream. He just thought of how." Roku sighed, letting Aang take over. He came back and fell over. Aang then sat up and smiled sheepishly. "I was gonna tell you."
