Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook ppl, time for chapter 6! YAY! I know the last chapter was kind of crappy, but this WILL be better! I SWEAR IT! Btw, there will be French influence, cause I felt like it, Oui is pronounced like we. Also, in Twilight, idk why but vampire skin glows in the sun instead of burning.
Aang stood staring at the burnt remains of the vampire he once knew as William, his skin pale underneath the dark sky above, if it were sunny he'd be glowing like thousands of diamonds (girly but true.) He looked down shamefully as he came to realize that he knew William would probably turn on him all along.
William was always kind of shady, and never said what the purpose of a practice was. He also heard him talking about a plan with Francine, the vampire that gave Aang the poison that is now turning him into a human. The vampire that wanted to take over the world.
Suddenly, Aang realized something; in the group there was a vampire that could see the future. She probably saw Aang finding his friends. She probably told William, and William didn't want to lose the most powerful vampire to ever "live."
Which is why they went to the South Pole, to let Aang "practice" while sweet Gran-Gran came out to get something from around back. He had starved Aang, so that his senses would go wild by the smell of her blood, so that he'd kill her. So Katara would hate Aang, so that she would think he was a murderer.
But William didn't count on the bond they had shared, once Aang couldn't leave, William had to take action. He pursued to capture Katara, to take her as a hostage so Aang would have to follow him, or he'd kill Katara. Nor did he count on the poison that he didn't know quite too much about, and wanted to make sure Aang turned back into a vampire.
Everything became clear in Aang's head, as if the storm clouds parted above to reveal the clear blue sky. It was a setup all along, and Aang had been to blinded by his inability to be around Katara, and about the monster he had become, to notice that he was part of something bigger than he had imagined.
"Aang?" A soft voice asked, snapping Aang out of his thoughts. "Oh, hey Katara." He said slowly, trying to come back without appearing as an idiot, even though he just did.
"Is something wrong?" She asked, sincerely. "Actually yes, yes there is, tonight at dinner I will explain to you all what has happened. For now, we need to leave."
Katara nodded as she hopped onto Appa, Aang didn't though.
Sokka looked at him questionably, "Aang, is something wrong?"
"I can't ride on Appa, I'm too heavy." He explained.
"No your not! Katara could pick you up in the catacombs, couldn't she?" He asked.
"Sokka, if I wasn't careful enough and I accidentally hit your foot with my pinky toe I could shatter your foot. I'm not getting on Appa and breaking his back." Aang said crossing his arms.
"Then, how are you getting to Gaoling with us?" Sokka asked, "We need to get Toph back to her home, we're not leaving without you."
"I'll run!" Aang pronounced. "How will you get across the water? If you can crush my foot with your pinky toe, surely the ocean couldn't hold you."
"I'm a vampire, I can run super fast, faster than Appa can fly," He said, "I'll be running so fast I wouldn't have enough time to fall underwater."
"I don't believe it!" Sokka said skeptically. "Do you want me to run to that mountain and back?" He asked. "Yes, yes I would."
Aang disappeared for about 2 minutes to the mountain 30 miles away, then he was back.
"Do you want to see me do it again?" Aang folded his arms, not even out of breath. Sokka looked at him in disbelief, his mouth had dropped down. "Fine, but we're making camp once we hit the Earth Kingdom if we don't find a town first, so wait for us there."
"Aye, aye captain!" Aang said, standing straight and saluting Sokka before he shouted 'yip yip' and Appa flew into the sky. Before they knew it, Sokka and Katara saw a black speck running on top of the ocean waters 20 miles away.
Hours later, nightfall had come, and Appa finally landed on Earth Kingdom shores. They saw Aang laying faithfully in front of a tree. He opened his eyes and smiled. He got up in one swift move, "Finally! I thought you'd never come!"
Katara giggled, "Well we aren't all as fast as you are!" she exclaimed. Aang's smile grew wider, as he strode towards the group.
"So, we better get dinner going, I'll get a fire started." Sokka said, "I'll need some firewood, Aang, Katara, you think you can handle that?"
"Oui oui mon Capitan!" Aang saluted Sokka once more and walked through the woods, Katara followed him, laughing. "What language is that?" Katara asked.
"I don't know, I heard it in a dream where Sokka was a ship captain, some guys in silly hats said it. They said it was French or something." He answered, "It was before all of this."
"Well I've never heard of it, how do you remember the dream?" She asked him. "That, I don't know, they say vampires may lose human memories, but I guess it was just something you can't forget." Aang looked at Katara quickly, then looked back in front of him.
"This is taking to long, where is all the wood to burn!" Katara exclaimed moments later. Aang looked up into a tree, " I have an idea." He declared.
Aang, using airbending, jumped up to the tree and broke of several branches. "There, that should be good enough." he smiled.
Katara smiled, "So, you gonna tell us what's been on your mind?" she asked. Aang's smile quickly turned to a frown. "Oh, yeah. I suppose."
Now, Katara's smile turned to a frown, "Is it really that bad?"
Aang turned to her, "You'll see."
Moments later, dinner was made for everyone (excluding Aang) and they all sat by the fire (INcluding Aang) as Aang stared at the fire. There was and awkward silence until Katara broke it.
"So, Aang, what were you planning on telling us?" Aang shut his eyes, then looked up at everyone.
"Well, I assume everyone knows what happened at the South Pole, with Gran-Gran." Katara nodded but was worried about Sokka, he nodded. "Wait, did you tell Sokka?" she asked.
"Yes, he did, and I told Toph, I was always afraid to look at you again Aang, but I suppose I have no choice." Sokka explained.
"Well, I think- I think this was all a setup." He said, we all looked at him quizzically when Katara decided to speak, "What do you mean?"
"The whole situation, I should have known William was going to turn on me. I had so many clues; William was always kind of shady, and never said what the purpose of a practice was. I also heard him talking about a plan with Francine, the vampire that gave me the poison that is now turning me into a human. The vampire that wanted to take over the world."
"There was also a vampire that could see the future in my group, I suppose she saw mine and showed William. She probably saw me meeting you guys and saw that as a threat. So he set me up at the South Pole, he starved me so that my senses would react before I could think, to the, uh, smell of your grandmother."
"He did it so that you guys would hate me, and I would go back to him. But he didn't count on the poison, or the fact that, Katara and I…"
"Love each other?" Sokka asked, his face soft, "For some reason, I'm not mad at you, I know I should be after what happened to my grandmother. But with all of this, information, you gave us, I know I can't be."
Katara nodded in agreement, "So, we all agree, Aang is innocent, right?" Everyone nodded, even Toph, whom had never met the old lady, but knew how close she was to the two watertribe siblings.
"But there's still one problem." Aang said, "What's that?" Toph asked.
"Francine, if I don't defeat him, before I turn back into a human, the world may have to face something larger than the war now passed. We'll have to face an army of a hundred, maybe more, vampires. Ten times stronger, faster, wiser than we are. If I don't destroy Francine, I'll be letting down the world again, and the world will be obliterated." Aang said looking back down at the fire.
"What are we going to do?" Katara finally asked. "I'm going to defeat him." Aang announced.
"What about us?" Sokka asked.
"You'll make sure no one finds out about this, not a single person."
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUN! Uh-oh! The ever-elusive Francine! GASP! R&R
