Chapter 5

"Yue!"

Yue opened her eyes to nothing but darkness. "Hello?"

She looked around wondering what was going on and where her mother disappeared to. She bit her lip feeling nervous; she had never been in a place that was this dark. The only light around was the glow coming off her transparent body. Theres nothing to be afraid of...I mean I'm already dead what else could happen to me? Yue encouraged herself and was ready to move. She floated around till she heard her name. "Whose there?" she demanded, her eyes searching for any sign of movement. Then she felt a presence in front of her. She recoiled from the presence, her whole body shaking.

"Don't be afaird," a voice came.

It sounded so gentle so she calmed down and asked again "Whose there?"

"Never mind that...You have been given a chance.."

"You mean I get to return to the mortal world?"

"Yes..."

Yue was speechless the only thing she managed to do was smile.

"But..."

"But what?" Yue asked, her eyes widening.

"You will awake in a body not your own and...Your memories might be replaced with Chantrea's..."

"W-what do you mean? And who's Chantrea?" Yue demanded, biting down on her lower lip.

"Chantrea is the one we givin the choice to leave the mortal world and whose body your going to occupy."

"But I want my memories…I want to remember my father, the villagers...Sokka"

Yue heard a sigh come from the presence.

"When you come in contact with something...something important to you in your past life will trigger your memories to come back."

Yue nodded slightly letting the presence know she understood.

"So what is your decision?"

"Yes, but can I ask one question?"

"Yes."

"Will I be stuck in Chantrea's body forever?" Yue asked, folding her hands together. Laughter filled the dark room.

"Of course not...once you convince at least one person that you are indeed Yue then you will return to your own body."

Yue smiled then nodded. "I'm ready."

Sokka stared at the moon. "I'm sorry for not coming," he said with a frown. "I couldn't just abandon Chantrea. I'm so sorry."

He bowed his head then looked over at the resting blonde. "Why did you come to me out of no where?"

Chantrea's eyes twitch a little, her lips smacking together for a brief second. He laughed as someone else entered the healing hut. A man with dark brown hair and blue eyes was standing there with a worried expression on his face. "Chantrea!" he exclaimed, kneeling next to the blond.

"She's alright she just passed out," one of the nurses said, eyeing Sokka. Sokka raised his eyebrow. i didn't do anything stop looking at me like that...

The man touched Chantrea's face. "C'mon Chantrea bear wake up."

The women opened her turquoise eyes slowly, a smile playing on her lips as she laid eyes on the man before her. "Hiya Ly .."

The man named Ly ran his fingers through her pale hair, his eyes concentrated on nothing but her. "What happened?" he asked, his voice full of concern.

"I can't remember," she murmured, her eyes wandering onto Sokka. Sokka bit his lip, coming closer to her and Ly. Chantrea smiled gently at Sokka making his heart jump.

"A-are you ok?" Sokka stuttered. Chantrea nodded and Sokka gave a sigh of relief. Ly looked Chantrea then looked at Sokka.

"Who are you?"

"Sokka of the southern water tribe," Sokka replied, feeling out of place again. Ly raised his eyebrow at Sokka for a brief second then nodded as he turned his attention back to Chantrea, whom was now sitting up.

"I'm sorry," she said to Sokka. Sokka arched his brow, confused.

"For what?" he asked.

Chantrea chuckled softly the replied, "For coming at you out of no where then passing out like that."

He just smiled. "Theres no need to be sorry...you just creped me out a little."

"I'm sorry," she giggled. "It was weird…something drew me to you so I just had to talk to you."

Sokka didn't know what to say so he remained quite.

"Well Chantrea bear, ready to go home?" Ly asked. Chantrea nodded as she stood up. She looked down at Sokka.

"Goodbye Sokka…thanks for sticking around."

Sokka laughed softly as he watched her walk away.

"It was nice of you to stay by that girls side," Katara's voice came.

"Yeah...," Sokka said, standing up and stretching. "But what are you doing up so late isn't it almost midnight?"

"I'm up because I was worried about you," Katara said, yawning.

"Well you should get your rest...I need to go somewhere," Sokka said, touching his sisters shoulder as he headed out of the hut. He was surprised Katara didn't come after him and ask where he was going. Sokka shrugged it off as he walked towards the door of the Oasis. His heart thumped against his chest as he reached for the knob of the door. The door wouldn't budge it was locked and something beckoned him to leave.

"Let me in Yue...,"Sokka whispered desperately.

You didn't protect me...

He bit his lip as he pounded on the door. Yes he still blamed himself for Yue's death, even though Arnook had that vision of her becoming the moon spirit when she was just a baby. It shouldn't of happened though...

"I'm sorry Yue.."

He suddenly felt sleepy and leaned against the door. "Yue...let me in," he whispered again, before falling asleep.
