Man, the new updates are kinda weird...I couldn't find ANYTHING. Oh well, my exams are almost over but I managed to get chapter three up. I know it's been a while so here's chapter three!


Chapter Three

Yue felt her heart stop as she looked into the small bowl of water Katara had put out for her. Something was wrong.

Her hair wasn't white.

Yue cursed Koh mentally over and over, asking herself why Koh ever tricked her. He had a catch and Yue had failed to ponder before deliberating her answer.

Then she realized she was a regular human girl. Not the white haired princess who was blessed by Tui and La, but a regular Northern Water Tribe girl.

Well...she did say she wanted to be human. She should've been more specific. So she got mad at herself.

"Yuki, is there something wrong?" Katara asked, sensing that there was something wrong.

Yue snapped out of it and smiled nervously.

"Oh...nope! I just...have amnesia, that's all. Where did you find me again?" Yue asked.

"Well...you were floating out in the ocean near the Northern Water Tribe..." Aang answered.

KOH!

Yue sighed and then thought up of another lie. She couldn't tell Katara, Sokka and the others that she was Yue. She didn't even look like her. Yue didn't like her situation. How was she going to explain why she was down here? Worst of all...

What if Sokka forgot about me and got another girl? I can't blame him for moving on but...

"Oh...umm...you don't mind if I stay with you four, do you? Until I can refresh my memory?" Yue asked.

Sokka seemed still a little stunned by Yue's outburst.

"How did you know my name and Katara's?" Sokka demanded loudly.

"Nice way of asking, meathead," Toph said sarcastically.

Yue snickered lightly. She liked this girl.

"Umm...I don't know. Maybe I knew you before I got amnesia?" she shrugged.

Katara looked at her then at Sokka then asked Toph to test her if she was telling the truth.

"Actually...she is. She must've known you two from somewhere," Toph said, her hand still on the ground near Yue.

"Well...I guess it makes sense. Anyway...this is Aang and this Toph, and over here is the Earth King Kuei," Katara introduced Yue to everybody.

"You must be the Avatar," Yue pretended she didn't know, although she already knew who he was.

Aang nodded, but not with the same exuberance like when Aang first arrived.

It was quiet for a moment until Kuei spoke up,

"Well...aren't we going to go in? Maybe we can receive help from Chief Arnook."

Yue immediately recognized the name. Her father Arnook. Her own father. She smiled as memories flooded her head of her and her father.

My father! But...I bet he won't recognize me, even though I am his own daughter. Has everybody forgotten me already? Yue thought sadly.

"Hey, how'd you know his name?" Katara asked Kuei, a confused look on her face.

Kuei shrugged.

"Well, I am the Earth King. I have to know the names of other chiefs and kings," he replied.

However, while everyone was talking, Yue still felt cold; all she was wearing was a blue dress-like outfit with no boots or anything.

"I feel cold," Yue diverted everyone's attention to her.

"Oh. Right," Katara smiled as she handed her a puffy and warm blue jacket with a hood along with some small, furry boots.

"Hey! That's mine!" Sokka whined, but Katara had already given it to Yue.

"C'mon Sokka, don't be such a baby. Yuki needs it more than you do. Aren't you already wearing a jacket?" Toph asked the pouty teenager.

"Maybe," he replied, knowing Toph couldn't see him.

Yue embraced the warmth of the coat and felt better as for filling her need of warmth. It didn't last long, however, when Koh's first condition slithered into her head.

How am I going to find another replacement? I can't just walk up and ask someone to be the next God or Goddess of the Moon. I'm starting to think this isn't worth it.

Then she saw Sokka and a small blush appeared on her face.

I shouldn't think like that. No...I wanted to be with Sokka. I will do anything to be able to stay on this earth.

Koh smiled maliciously as he looked into a small swirling glass ball as Yue's face appeared. He could hear her every thought, action and sentence she spoke. He still had to keep an eye on his soon to be prize.

"Oh just twenty nine more days. Seems so short yet so long," Koh said, feigning a happy tone in his voice. His voice echoed into the dark recesses of his musty cave.

"So, Yuki, how will you be able to get your pretty self out of this? I will love seeing what you do. Poor Yue, not being able to tell her dear Sokka that it's her. Even more ironic, seems like our boy already has another love."

He snickered at Yue's plight and headed down to the darker regions of his cave, the glass ball still focused on Yue.
