The Chosen Ones

AN: I don't own Avatar:the last airbender. I just own the plot. I really hope that all of you like it!!! Here's the first chapter. (Hint: if you haven't read the prologue, it will help to understand this story a bit better. )

Chapter 1:The Market & the Docks

The sun wasn't even up yet when I aroused myself. Getting up, I fount the waterskin and pored a little of water in my palm. I sipped a little bit and put the rest to my face. My twin looked at me and instructed, "Roll up your sleeping bag. We will be leaving in ten minutes. Here's some meal for breakfast. We must hurry so we can get you back to your real world, or we'll have to wait till the next dawning."

I quickly rolled up my sleeping bag and put a full waterskin pouch around my waist.

"Come, we must go to the hollow tree quickly." My twin said.

We soon came to a huge hollow tree. She then told me to get in the hollow part. I got in and she stood outside. Putting up her hand on my forehead, she said, "Let out thoughts & minds unite in her to her place of true birth!" A flow of memories came rushing back to me. (My twin had taken my place in my true world while I was here and acted exactly how I would have.) The she whispered, "Narzwellacombind thine combrinderince sellderez comprede!"

In a blink of an eye, I noticed the surroundings of the trees were different. I was more tan than before and I wore a blue water tribe's clothing. I stepped out of the tree and saw that my hair was in a traditional waterbender's bun with a strand of hair on both sides extended to the bun. I remembered all of the moved from the waterbending move that I had learned in the Northern Water Tribe. The memories my twin had given me, was as if I had lived them myself, and that's how I remembered them now.

I remembered Sokka wanted me to buy some bread with the little bit of money we had. I went to one of the merchant stands selling bread and asked, "How much bread can I buy for three copper pieces, Sir?"

The merchant turned and looked at me. Then said, after he looked me over, "A loaf and a half, especially for you." He replied with a greedy grin and his green eyes staring. I took a step back, and told him, "Thank you. Here you go." I quickly handed him the three copper pieces out of eleven that I had. He held out the bread. As I reached my hand out to take the bread, he grabbed my wrist. "Only if you are to be my-" But he was cut off when someone yanked me back and hollered, "Don't ever touch my sister!"

I still had the loaves in my hand and Sokka pulled me into his protective arms. I nuzzled in his arms, thankful for his protection, even though I knew I could have handled it with a full water skin. I got up and put the bread and the remaining money back in the bag that lay across my shoulders to my side.

"I'm glad we found you. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You are okay, right?" Sokka asked me.

"Yes. Now, what else did you want me to buy, besides bread?" I asked my brother.

"Some salt- if we can afford it?" he asked.

"You know we can't afford salt! I'm going to go and see if I can bargain for some needed supplies. Sokka, I'll be fine." I told him and walked away before he could protest.

I looked around and soon found a merchant lady who was selling thread, needles, along with cloth and fabric. I stopped and looked at the treads. I soon selected a dark shade of blue thread and white thread for one copper piece. "Thank you. Do you know where I could find a water fountain or well?" I asked after giving the copper piece to the older lady who was selling the thread.

"Yes, child. Just continue to the right and take a left when you see a merchant selling beads on you left. I hope you find what you're looking for."

"Thank you." I replied graciously and began to fallow her instructions. But as I was about to turn the corner, a hand grasped my shoulder. I was about to open my water skin. But it was gone!

"Don't even try to fight." Said a stranger's voice.

I was a puddle of water nearby and flicked it to where I thought his face would be and froze it. His grip lessoned and at once, I flew out of his grip. But he soon grasped me again with his hands, but this time his hand grew hotter than normal. He must be a firebender. I struggled, but to no avail. He didn't remove his hand and continued to lead me from behind. He brought me to the docks where boats were lined up.

Then, out of nowhere, a huge bull-wolf came into our path. The firebender shot a fire ball at it, but that only made it more aggravated. As the firebender was trying to ward off the bull-wolf, he put me behind him, placing himself between me and the bull-wolf. I was about to run, but then I thought of what this firebender's jester just meant-he was trying to protecting me.

Then I saw second bull-wolf come up from behind us. I quickly streamed some water that was in some near by puddles combined with some water from the ocean and used it to whip the second bull-wolf in the face.

"We have another one!" I hollered over the growls and snarls of the animals to the firebender.

"Can you defeat it?" He asked.

"I'm not sure." I told him.

"Hop onto my shoulders and tell me when I need to roll, jump, or whatever." He told me. I got on his shoulders carefully, while he tried his best to ward off the bull-wolf he was fighting. I noticed he had a blue necklace on. Could it be...I was soon shocked out of my thoughts when the firebender mad e a quick jump then a roll, moving so that they facing the two bull-wolfs.

All of a sudden, the bull-wolfs joined together, their bodies becoming one and and they, together, were double their original size; they tower over us. It temped us to attack. I circled around us, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

"Get close to the water." I told him. The firebender nodded his head. I let go and landed on the my feet, ready to defend myself with the ocean's water.

The bull-wolf swept it's mighty paw at the firebender. But before the paw struck him, he had moved to evade it. He wasn't expecting the second paw that came from the opposite direction. He was thrown across the dock and hit his head. He was knocked out.

The bull-wolf was about to deliver the final blow, when I sent a huge wave of ocean water at the bull-wolf, knocking it over. I leered it over to me, whipping it with my endless water supply. It was when it's paw was about to strike me and I knew I couldn't block it, I prepared fro the impact. But instead of the paw hitting me, I was knocked over by the firebender. The paw skimmed over us. His face close to mine. He smiled a small 'thank you' and I did the same back to him.

The firebender hadn't notice it, but when I had been fighting, or when he had knocked me down, his medallion had came out from underneath his green shirt. It was almost an exact replica of my own! I reached out my hand to touch it, but he swatted my hand away and got up. We both came back to reality and realized what was happening.

"To the water! Quickly!" I hollered. We both dove deep into the water. Rapidly I created an air bubble around us. We walked in silence in the air bubble I was maintaining under the water. We passed under numerous boat. Then I asked, "That medallion, was it given to you?" He remained silent.

"Don't you know how to make it invisible, so no one can see it?" I asked. He shook his head, no.

I told him how to make it invisible, by wishing or thinking that it was invisible and it would disappear and showed him using my mother's, my true mother necklace (from my true mother, the one that is now dead. )

Without thinking, I asked, "Why are out medallions special?" Forgetting I hadn't revealed my own to him yet.

"What do you mean? They're totally different." And How do you know mine is special?" He asked me.

" I'm not talking about my mother's necklace, by about my other one." I revealed my medallion to him.

The firebender then told me, "My master just told me it was important. He said some other stuff, but I don't want to have to repeat it right now. Why do you have one like mine?" He asked.

"Someone gave it to me. She said something about spirits, but I wasn't really paying attention." I told him, not sure why I was telling him all of this.

"That's my boat." he pointed above us and I told him, "Hold on to me, unless you want to the water pressure to kill you as we rise to the surface. Just don't let go." The firebender rapped his arms around my waist from behind. A shiver went throughout my body. I waterbended us up to the surface using a water spout and we landed on the deck of his ship.
