Chapter 2

'Katara, stop shouting, I'm trying to sleep.' Sokka muttered sleepily.

'Sokka, I heard someone scream! Wake up!' Katara called, shaking Sokka. Sokka groaned and sat up, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

'I don't hear anything.' He said, before lying down again. Katara gave an angry growl and stood up.

'If you want to get a job done right,' Katara muttered. 'You have to do it yourself.'

Katara heaved a sigh as she walked around the forest aimlessly.

'My name is Iroh,' the man introduced himself. 'And what might your name be?'

'I'm Hitomi.' I said. I was beginning to trust the man.

I heard a sound somewhere in the distance.

'Did you hear that?' I asked.

'Is anyone there?' Katara called out once again.

So it was just my imagination? She thought to herself. She sighed and returned back to where they had set camp.

She sat down and waited for everyone to wake up.

A few minutes later both Toph and Sokka were sitting on either side of Katara.

'Aang's not up yet?' Katara asked worriedly.

'No, the guy's still sleeping.' Sokka replied.

'We need to find Aang a fire bending teacher,' Katara said. 'As quickly as we can.'

'But where are we going to find him a fire bending teacher?' Sokka asked.

'Well, I have someone in mind, I'm pretty sure that we can trust him,' Katara said. 'The only problem is that I don't know where he is.'

'Who are you talking about?' Sokka asked.

Toph wasn't listening to the discussion of the two siblings; she had drifted off in her own thoughts. She still had a feeling that she knew this place, but that couldn't be, could it?

'Katara, where are we?' Toph finally asked.

'Well, we're in a forest.' Katara replied.

A forest? Toph thought. I only ever remember going to one forest, when I was smaller. That couldn't be it, could it?

Toph shook her head to clear her mind.

No, I'm just being stupid, she thought, what are the chances of us coming to the forest near Hitomi's house?

'Toph, are you ok?' Katara asked. 'You've been acting really strange since we got here.'

'Yeah, I'm fine,' Toph said. 'I was just…uh…worried about Aang.'

'Ok,' Katara said. 'So what do you think?'

'What do I think of what?' Toph inquired.

'What do you think of Zuko's uncle teacher Aang fire bending?' Katara asked with a frustrated sigh. 'Sokka thinks its bad idea.' Toph nodded.

'I think it's a good idea.' Toph said.

'I think you're both insane.' Sokka said. Katara rolled her eyes at Sokka.

'So it's settled then, we find Zuko's uncle and ask him to teach Aang fire bending.'
