Chapter Three-The Pain Inside

I can't be with you anymore… It's not your fault, the pain will go away…

As long as you're with me… The pain will never leave…

-The Pain Inside-

"Toph…" Katara whispered into the room.

The girl underneath the bed did not move. Holding her knees to her chest and sobbing into her hair. She wiped her face with her forearm.

"Leave me alone." Toph said through her cries.

Katara crawled to the floor and pulled the younger girl from under the bed. Toph pulled away as soon as she was visible. She was staring at Katara with a certain angry look. As if she could see her.

"Are you mad at me?" Katara asked trying to place her hand on Toph's shoulder.

"Yes." Toph exclaimed at her lover.

"What is it?"

"It's you Katara! Why wont you leave me alone?"

"What…"

Toph grabbed Katara's hand. Katara winced in pain.

"See. I cause you so much pain. I can't stand it!" Toph yelled. "You act like it doesn't hurt. You pretend like you enjoy it."

"But it doesn't hurt me!" Katara tried to reason.

"But it hurts me to see you hurt." Toph felt tears well up in her eyes. "I want you to be happy. Aang makes you happy, but, you cheat on him with me!"

Katara pulled Toph closer, Toph gently cried into her chest. Katara laid Toph on her back on the bed. Katara pulled her lover's nightgown off. She gently placed soft kisses on Toph's ribcage.

"I love you Toph." Katara said between kisses. "You're a strong woman, both physically and personally."

She straddled the young earth bender. Wiping, and kissing away the stream of tears from her face. Toph didn't move at all.

"I can't stand for you to be like this. " she said removing Toph's panties, moving down to Toph's womanhood.

Katara gently licked the opening. Toph whimpered slightly, still not wanting to move. Using her fingers, Katara parted Toph's vaginal lips letting her tongue explore her lover's insides. Toph let out a stressed squeal and arched her body forward.

"No…Ka…ta...ra…stop…"

Katara used her other hand to vigorously rub Toph's clit. Toph moaned loudly, releasing herself immediately. Katara got off of her lover and laid more kisses up her body. Katara reached her face and gently kisses her on the lips. Katara's tongue brushed against Top's closed lips, begging for her entrance. Toph allowed it and both their tongues intertwined in each other's mouth. Toph tasted herself on Katara's lips. Toph turned over putting Katara on her back. She stared at the strong woman on her.

"Toph?" Katara asked

Toph felt a tear in her eye fall.

"What's wrong?" Katara panicked for a moment.

Still no reply.

"Toph? Please answer me."

Toph hung her head and cried into her lover's chest.

"I wish…I-I.. c-could see you…"

Katara felt her heart sink down into her stomach. Her eyes were filled with tears also. She pulled Toph closer. Gently caressing her back.

'I wish it were possible' she thought
