Chapter 4; Recooperating

Pain… coursing through her body. It was like she was drowning to death and burning at the same time. Her head was spinning. Her left hip was literally dying, burning in hell till she couldn't feel anything there anymore. She tossed and turned in her sleep. She was dreaming a most peculiar dream…

"Leave me alone!" A dark male figure loomed around in the distance slowly moving closer, closer till she could feel his breath on her face.

"Get away from me!" She was on the floor, bruised and cut. His eyes were the only part of him visible. It was filled with hurt, guilt, anger, confusion, grief, and… lust? The only extremely noticeable asset of them was one tiny sparkle of light precisely in the center, surrounded by all other negative emotions.

The darkness seemed to disappear. A fire, so hot, burning at her flesh and making her whole body fill with hate. She had to fight back. She couldn't anymore. Now, she was restrained, nothing restraint her though. She just felt she could do nothing but watched as her and the man slowly and in agony rotted away into nothingness.

His eyes were still locked onto hers. Both trusting each other even though it was nearly impossible to do so. It felt wrong somehow. She was still filled with fear and hurt. It was frightening in a sense where she just wanted to look away and leave that horrible place. But his eyes… she just couldn't stay away. Those eyes slowly filled her entire vision and she felt as if she was choking.

Bones appeared and crackled in the fire. The voice of someone familiar suddenly spoke out… "Your future love will be a powerful bender… and a haunted soul that is a prisoner of his past…"

The eyes reappeared into the flames. He was there... in his eyes. He was meditating, or so it seemed so. His head lifted up and and his eyes were the brightest gold… lighting up his whole face. Hey started to grow and once again fill her vision. She screamed as it came closer.

"Help me…" The man whispered. She believed him and slowly nodded once. She knew what she had to do. She lept into the fire in the eyes and became engulfed in flames…

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She gained consciousness and screamed. She sat up quickly causing pain to shoot up her back. The dream was all to real. Her body was covered in cuts and bruises and every time she moved pain coursed through her body.

She looked around the room gasping all the while. It was a white room. She was laying on a cot. The fire insignia was painted onto the wall and was found on every item in the room. She couldn't remember anything. The only thing she could think of was the dream. It clouded her mind as she sought out to reach normalness once again. As her vision cleared she noticed three other people in the room. They all had there backs away from her, facing a small table on the opposite side of the room.

"Where am I! Who are you people?" The three other people in the room jumped and spun around at her sudden outburst. They nearly had a heart attack.

"Zuko, why are you here? Who are the other people? Where am I? Was I captured? What happene-" The three visitors moved closer to her. All of them were male, one Zuko, another apparently a doctor, and the last a young soldier. She stopped when Zuko began to speak.

"What? Don't you remember what happened?" She shook her head. Zuko reached up to her head which was severely burnt and tried to get her bandages.

"Get away from me! You're my enemy! What the hell happened to me? And what the hell happened to you?" He was also covered in cuts, a major one now located on his right cheek.

"You must calm down miss. Prince Zuko here will explain everything. Just rela-" The doctor moved closer to her to check up on her wounds.

"No! Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" Katara quickly swung her legs over the white bed and tried to stand up. She fell in a heap on the ground.

"Sir, can you put her back onto the table? I must give her the medicine." He picked the struggling teenager up and placed her back onto the bed/table.

"Don't Touch me you filth!" Katara yelled at him and wondered what was happening. The doctor put some vile tasting liquid into her mouth and closed it in order for her to swallow. She rejected it and began to gag. She sprawled her legs out and tried to shake him off of her.

"Look, you're injured. You must swallow or you will never heal. We'll explain later." They're voices began to fade as her vision blurred once again, her head hitting the pillow…

Sokka and Aang walked the forest. As they made their way to the beach, Sokka took out his boomerang and they scoured the land. Sokka went left and Aang went right. All they saw were large rocks, washed up sticks and jellyfish, and litter spread out along the ground.

"Aang! Get over here! I think I see something!" Aang ran over to Sokka panting. He grabbed his knees and bent over exhausted from the long run.

"What's there?" The fog covering the ocean made it hard to see anything. It slowly became more dense as the time passed.

"Aang, I want you to fly to that dark spot right there. It might be a ship but I'm not sure." Aang nodded and spread out his glider. He flew out and up over Sokka's head and faded into the distance.

"Please be there Katara…" The young warrior bit his lip in anticipation. Aang slowly reappeared.

"I couldn't see… It was too foggy and the air was too dense."

"We'll try again when this overcast clears up. It shouldn't be to long." Aang nodded and sat down. They lay on their backs waiting for the mood to pass, along with the overcast.

Katara slowly opened her eyes after a long period of sleep. She could hardly remember what happened. Slight images of what happened clouded her mind, but no full memories came back to her. She looked at the ceiling and felt numb on her side. She carefully tilted her head to look at her waist. She saw that a large portion of the bottom of her shirt had been burned away and singed at the edges.

A large white cloth wrapped around her waist and a slight blood stain made a streak in the center. Katara then looked at her hands and felt a sharp pain shoot up her arm, something that happened often lately. Bruises and cuts marked her palms and as she looked upwards onto her arms, she saw a gash on one side and a lot of scorch marks on the other. She once again searched her surroundings. It was clearly the afternoon. The room was the same as before, just with a new person there.

There was a man there, young and seemed to be inexperienced. He was sitting on a chair, fully dressed in his armor with a spear in his hand. It was the soldier from before. He must be my guard. She rolled her eyes and then closed them. She felt a dark shadow suddenly loom over her. He touched her head and adjusted the bandages. She stayed completely silent. The man sighed and walked away, hopefully to the other side of the room. She slightly opened her eyes to take a peek at her visitor.

His back was facing away from her and she could tell by her form it was the person she wanted to see the least. Her memories were still a little blurry and the events of the past experiences on his ship didn't come back to her. He spun around and looked indifferent. He carried a tray filled with medical supplies.

"Good, you're up. Then you can help change your bandages. It really is a hassle to have to move you myself." She eyes him warily. The bandages on her upper stomach made her feel akward that he had touched her, and she still didn't know what was going on.

"Don't touch me! I can heal myself! You still have to tell me what is happening!" He was truly becoming aggravating with her.

"Just shut up!" Katara flinched. Everything cleared up.

"Oh m god."

"What?!"

"I remember everything…"

The overcast was clearing up and the land was somewhat visible. Both of them nodded toward each other and Aang took off. Sokka looked into the distance as Aang's orange shirt grew smaller and smaller. Then, he saw the orange object become perpendicular to the rays of the sun and a sheet of bright light showed through the sky. Aang slowly flew back and landed on his feet.

"Did you see anything?" Aang nodded his head with a grin on his face.

"What did you see?" Aang leaned in closer to Sokka and whispered in his ear….little did they know, someone was watching in the distance…
