Rose like Water

The cold was over bearing. The water hit Hakoda like a million knives stabbing him from every angle. He was trying so hard to get to the surface but I seemed so far away. He was clawing his way to the top and just when he couldn't hold his breath any longer he was there. Looking he was in the middle of the coldest ocean with nothing surrounding him. Had their ship sunk? He looked around for any evidence that there was still a ship with his family sleeping on it quietly but there was nothing for miles. Realization hit Hakoda hard. His family. Where was his family?

His breathing became heavy, Adrenalin began pumping through his veins and he felt his heart start beating frantically. Hakoda first instinct was to shout for them but he knew where they were. He immediately flung himself under water searching for any signs of life or a sunken ship he saw floating down towards the bottom of the oceans grasps. He saw the ships bright headlight somehow still on shinning through the darkness. He abruptly began swimming towards it like a speeding bullet the pull the sail boat was causing from its sink was not to immense but was still strong enough that he could fell it. He reached the boat searching around for anything anyone. His lungs felt like they were going to collapse when he saw frantic feet kicking around in the water. He swam towards it knowing it he didn't have air soon he and his family would all drown at this bottomless pit.

He was panicking he couldn't reach the person fast enough. He was going to die but something in him pushed him on like it already knew what was awaiting him there. Hakoda used all his strength to reach the person. He saw how tiny the legs were and that there were not just two but six pairs of legs. He looked up looking for their heads his eyes were burning from the salt. He saw a small air pocket above him and he kicked off of the bottom of the room up to the air that he so desperately needed. He gasped for air coming up he heard commotion and screaming and he opened his eyes blinking the salt away. When his vision cleared he saw his entire family there.

"We need to get out of here!" He screamed to them. They all looked more panicked them him there faces showing nothing but fear although his wife she looked brave like she knew what needed to be sacrificed and had no problem doing it. He felt there undersized air pocket getting smaller and smaller.

"Go take both of them and go I will follow you." He looked at her she was so calm and so brave she had a look of hope in her eyes like she knew that they were all going to make it through this although he was to dumbfounded to see it then to oblivious to understand that, this would be the last thing he would ever hear from his wife Kya.

"GO NOW!" she shouted and he grabbed his children they were both shaking from the cold and from fear.

"Take a deep breath." He commanded and then taking one last breath of air himself he plummeted back into the cold waters.

He was racing towards the surface but he took one look back to make sure that his wife was coming. He couldn't see Kya anywhere but his first priority was his children. He kicked and began swimming back to the surface.

The air was like ice on his face and he heard his children gasping for air.

"Daddy!" his daughter pleaded, "Where are we? Where's Mommy?" Kya he though diving back down into the cold darkness without a word. Everywhere he looked there was nothing but blackness. He couldn't even see the lit headlights of his boat. More importantly he couldn't see his wife. She was gone, a rose like water

Okay so chapter 2! I'm trying to give you insight on the traumatic things that happened to each family without giving you to much information about how the kids cope with it. Thats what the story will be about in later chapters so it will most likely be told from a parents point of view i still have Toph, Aang, and Jet to do and the only problem with them is that i don't know their parents well to be honest i think i will either do Jet or Aang next because although i know more about Toph I can't relate to that whats so ever and i already have a vivid idea of what I'm going to do with Aang more so than with Jet. Also and rose like water means something that didn't really work out or went horribly wrong. Avatar belongs to Brain and Mike. So I hoped you enjoyed and chapter 3 will be up soon hopefully.

Love,
