"Fire in the forest"
Sokka rolled over and went back to sleep. He figured he shouldn't ruin the moment. Unfortunately, he didn't have to. Toph woke up and immediately killed the moment. "So what's for dinner?" She scuffled her feet to see where everyone else was. As soon as she did, she remarked, "never mind, I wouldn't want to interrupt anything.
Aang and Katara blushed. Katara lay down next to Aang and decided she was ready to go to sleep. She was both happy and confused at the same time. I wonder if how Aang and I feel will change anything. Will Sokka or Toph treat him differently? Will they treat me differently? Will I feel the same around him? The questions buzzing in her head made her drift into sleep.
She was standing next to a river. As she looked around, she saw through a patch of trees the tent she was currently in. As she started to walk toward the tent, she froze with horror as she saw a dark figure shuffle in the shadows. She stood there, frozen to the ground. The figure didn't move. As she stepped forward, a girl approximately her height stepped out, her face covered with shadows. "Hello." Katara managed to say. The girl stepped toward her and snapped her fingers, revealing a small flame. Katara, now frightened, ran away from the stranger.
She ran faster and faster, but the more she ran, the farther from the tent she appeared. Figuring running was no longer an option; she stood to face her opponent. She remembered the river and sent a whip at the girl. Finding only when the water made contact with her skin, she disappeared. Katara looked around ready for a fireball to come at any moment, but it never came. She turned around to see the sun rising on the horizon turning the sky a shade of pink and red. She stared at the sunrise, and let the flames from the sun dizzy her, until she was surrounded by flames.
The river and forest gone, she was in a prison of fire. She thought she was alone until a figure stepped thought the fire. "Who are you?" She screamed. "Katara" whispered a familiar voice. "Katara wake up!" She snapped back into reality sitting strait up.
She found Sokka sitting in front of her. "Are you okay? You were twitching and saying things in your sleep."
Katara looked around. They were the only two in the tent. Apparently she had slept for quite a while. "I'm fine. Where's Aang?"
"He went outside to get some fresh air."
Katara got up, not bothering to reply to Sokka. She saw him lying on Appa's giant white and gray leg. She walked over to him to see that he was smiling like nothing had even happened. "So what do we do now?" Aang asked as he saw her approaching.
"I think we should stay here a few more days. You still have a lot of recovering to do."
Aang sighed and went back to daydreaming. Katara decided they were going to need some food and water. She grabbed Sokka's bag and decided to travel into the forest and explore a bit. Her dream stalking her thoughts, she pushed it away and went into the woods. After about 20 minutes she found a river. She quickly replenished her water pouch. Then she traveled down the river to find a few apple and pear trees and some bushes colored in raspberries. She knocked down a few with a quick whip of water and stuffed them into her bag. She slung the strap over her left shoulder and began to head in the direction of the camp.
She froze. She could see the camp in a gap in the trees. She was exactly where she had been in her dream. She looked around for any movement, her mind filling with her dream. She looked behind her over the tree tops. The sun was setting. It was only a dream. It's only a coincidence. I should just go back to camp. She then began hesitantly back. As she was walking, she still had her hand in a position to water-whip the first thing she saw move. Why am I so afraid? It was only a dream. I guess I'm a bit jumpy after everything that has happened.
Then out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure move. Instead of whipping it, she froze as the flame flew from the girl's fingers as she snapped. Katara started toward her, in a friendly manner. "Hello." She said plainly, "Who are you?"
The girl stepped out into the dying light. She had medium-length black hair with a red strand on the left of her face. Instead of up in a bun it was allowed to hang freely, not something Katara had really seen in the fire nation girls she had met Her eyes were a golden yellow that reminded Katara too much of Azula. She was wearing what seemed to be an earth kingdom outfit with short sleeves and long green pants along with a pair of slip on shoes. As Katara looked more closely she had a scar on her right hand in the shape of the fire nation insignia. "My name is Arzin. I would like to teach Aang firebending."
