This one is written by me AND Victoria this time. So yeah, sorry 'bout da cliffhanger. I know some of you are thinking NO WAY! But it sets up this next chapter.
Katara was stubborn, but when it came to something she really regretted, she would apologize. But not without holding a grudge for a while first. Aang knew that, but what he didn't know was that she could hold that grudge for a few days. Three days have passed. Aang was finally getting better from the sickness, he could walk around now without getting dizzy. Aang sat on Appa playing with Momo when Katara walked up to him.
"Hey Aang, um…I wanted to, apologize, I didn't mean to do that. I just got so mad! I don't know what came over me!" Katara said. She looked really sad. Aang sighed. "I guess I should too, I didn't mean to be so mean to Sokka, I just, wasn't feeling…myself." Katara smiled. "Friends?" Aang smiled too. "BEST friends." They gave each other a hug.
"I'm gonna go practice some airbending, I'll see you later." Aang said getting up.
"Okay, come back soon, I'm making dinner soon." Katara smiled. Aang walked off to a clear field and practiced. He came back about an hour later to come to a familiar sight. Katara was sitting by the fire in front of a big pot.
"What's for dinner?" Aang asked.
"Vegetable soup." Katara replied. Aang sighed.
"Again?" Katara looked at him.
"I'm sorry it's the only thing we have." Aang made a grumpy face.
"But I don't want it!"
"Aang stop! You sound like a spoiled child." She laughed as if he was kidding.
"Are you saying I'm a spoiled child?" Aang looked at her.
"You sure do sound like one!" Katara huffed.
"Well I'm not!" Aang said.
"I'm not saying you are!" Katara yelled.
"Well it sure sounds like it." Aang said in a mocking tone.
"Well if you don't want it get something yourself!" Katara yelled as Sokka entered the campsite. He just looked at Toph. "They're fighting over vegetable soup." Sokka laughed. "Why?" Toph shrugged. "How am I supposed to know?"
"Maybe I will!" Aang yelled.
"Be my guest!" Katara yelled back.
"Fine! I MIGHT come back!" Aang yelled as he ran off.
"FINE!" She yelled back as she saw him disappear. As soon as Aang left Katara felt guilty…again. And little did she know Aang felt the same way.
Hours passed and Aang still didn't come back. So Katara decided to go out and look for him. "AANG?" she yelled. No response. Katara was walking under some huge trees. "Aang, I'm sorry I didn't mean to get all upset. Please come back!" she yelled. She didn't know it but Aang was sitting in a tree directly above her trying to open a nut. He heard her but didn't bother to even say anything. That's when Katara heard something. It was a disturbance laying in the bushes. Aang heard it too. And when he knew he didn't make that noise he sat up, carefully watching below.
"Aang?" Katara said in a terrified voice "Is that you?" Katara started shaking.
Aang was about to say something but then Katara spoke. "Come on Aang, This isn't funny anymore, I'm s- scared" The noise grew louder. Katara started backing up. Aang couldn't handle the guilt anymore. He jumped down and landed right behind Katara. "Katara it's okay, I'm right here." He said.
Katara jumped and turned around quickly. "Aan-." Katara stopped because something grabbed her. Katara screamed. "AANG!" Aang immediately ran after her feeling horrible for what he had put her through. Aang looked at what had captured Katara. It looked like a…vampire! And it was too fast for Aang so he used his airbending to catch up with it. He reached out his hand. "Katara grab my hand!" he yelled.
Katara reached out her hand and grabbed his. Aang pulled with all his might, but the vampire was too strong. Their hands started to separate, and Aang stumbled. "KATARA, KATARA I'M SORRY!" he yelled as she and the vampire disappeared into the darkness. Katara yelled back hoping he could hear her. "I LOVE YOU AANG!" Aang heard that and got up right away and knew he couldn't give up. Aang quickly ran after them again, but tripped on the way and slid. He looked down and realized that he had scraped his knee bad. And it was raw so it hurt when he moved. Despite the pain, Aang still ran after them hoping that he could catch up before it was too late.
DUN DUN DUN! MWHAHAHAHAHA! CLIFFHANGER! XD Review! Or you'll never find out what happens to Katara.
