Yayyy I finally updated *chuckles nervously*

Hope you enjoy its a little longer than my usual chapters I write but I think this story will have longer chapters!


The next morning Katara woke to the sound of her brother and father fighting. It was the same old thing after every full moon, arguing about the future of the tribe.

Stretching from her bed, which consisted of fur piled onto each other in layers, she stood and made her way out of her room towards the sounds of her brother and father's yells.

"It's time you took your place as Chief, Sokka. You must choose a beloved soon before these young pups think they can challenge you!" Her father yells.

"You think I'm not trying here? The beast rejects every woman brought to me. I can't just pick who I want and risk killing the girl." Sokka replies exasperated "You know it won't end well if the beast doesn't choose her."

Katara enters the family room where her brother stood almost chest to chest to their father, his eyes never wavering from the older male. The air was thick and tense making Katara unsure that she should be around in case an actual fight breaks out, which isn't uncommon in their household. Hakota's eyes leave his sons to his daughter where he greets her with a small forced smile before his attention returns to his son. "You will have until the Day of the Wolf to find a beloved. Today you will meet with more girls who are of age. There has to be someone on this Spirit Forsaken iceburg."

With that Hakota patted his son's shoulder and made his way out of their home, most likely to carry on with his daily duties.

Sokka groaned and fell back onto the ground of the family room, his arm over his eyes. Katara giggled into her hand and stood over her brother leaning down slightly "Dad still pressuring you about marriage huh?"

A growl escaped her brother's mouth causing her to let out a loud laugh "Laugh all you want little sister, just wait until Dad starts to pressure YOU about marriage."

Katara snorts and rolls her eyes " Yeah right. According to Dad, none of these pups are worthy for my hand" she says dramatically with a flutter of her eyelashes.

"Tulok has taken interest in you." He points out sitting up, resting his arms on his knees.

"Tulok has a brain the size of a kumquat." She replies getting breakfast ready.

Sokka let out a chuckle "He's not that bad little sister, just a little rough around the edges." He watches as she lights a fire and begins the process of making stewed Sea Prunes.

"You marry him then" Was her only reply causing her brother to shake his head. His little sister was too fiesty for her own good. He didn't know if any of those boys could even handle marrying her. Her strong will that she got from their mother made most boys weary of her but her beauty drew them in. She truly was a mystery and Sokka hoped, she'd get someone get derserved.

He on the other hand, well….he hoped no woman would get chosen by his beast. How could anyone love a monster like him? A monster who could kill so easily.

He snapped out of his thoughts when he watched his sister use her bending to stir their breakfast. "Do you have to use your magic on our food?"

Katara glared at him "It's not magic, it's waterbending. Don't you have training to go to?" She asks with her hands on her hips.

Sokka leaned back on his hands, stretching out his long legs, Katara still couldn't believe her once short and lanky brother is now well...a man. He was larger than their father and muscular too but he still held his goofy personality. She blamed it on the beast in him. "Can't train on an empty stomach little sister." He says patting his stomach with a smirk "I'm a growing man."

She blamed his appetite on the beast too.

"You grow any more and you won't be able to walk through the doorway." Katara replies with a giggle causing his smirk to become a scowl.

"Ha ha very funny." He mocks "Is the food done yet?"

Rolling her eyes she uses a ladle to pour stew into a bowl for him, the quicker he eats, the quicker he leaves and she can start on her daily chores and training of her own.

Sokka lightly snatched the bowl from her hands and began to down the stew making Katara scrunch her face in disgust. She pours herself a bowl and they ate breakfast in silence together.

Letting out a loud burp Sokka stood up and kissed his sister's head "Thanks for breakfast Tara, it was delicious. Now training awaits!" He says with excitement. Fighting was her brother's favorite pastime, it usually consumed his day not that it bothered him. Soon he will be Chief and everything will change.

Leaving her alone to her thoughts Katara stood up and cleaned their mess. She realized she had not seen her grandmother and figured she must be visiting the other villagers. Throwing on her light blue parka, she made her way out of her home and towards the center of the village. It was more lively compared to yesterday's events. She shudders thinking of the silent and empty village during the full moon.

She makes it a few feet from her home when a voice stops her "Katara wait up!"

Turning she smiled to see her friend Ulva running towards her with a grin on her face "Where you headed?"

"To find Gran Gran, I figured she'd be making her rounds." Katara says causing Ulva to chuckle.

"That woman is always disappearing somewhere." Her friend says as they walk through the village passing by the training field. Katara smiled as her friend continued to babble on about some nonsense, most of it she couldn't understand due to her speaking so fast. Ulva was her age at 19 and like her, she hadn't be claimed as a beloved yet. Some thought it was due to her attitude and stubbornness. Her father was Bato, Hakota's best friend and second in command. Which caused the girls to become friends and somewhat as sisters as well.

Bato had trained his daughter to fight and spar unlike Hakota who sheltered Katara and left her in the care of her gran gran, she learned to cook and clean and to walk among the villagers. She couldn't help but feel jealous of her friend. She yearned to be a warrior like her brother and friend. She felt helpless most of the time. It didn't help that there weren't many benders in the tribe. Most have given up on learning how to bend or have settled for healing, something Katara had little training in.

The young men training on the field paused their workouts to let out whistles and calls to the girls causing Katara to roll her eyes and Ulva to glare.

"If only those pups knew they're making a mistake to try to go after you lovely girls." Sokka says jogging up to his sister and Ulva with his two friends Tulok and Kavik trailing behind him..

"If only I could show them a thing or two." Ulva says with a glare back at the boys causing them to laugh.

"You don't want to do that Ulva." Tulok says with an amused smile, his eyes moving to Katara every so often. She did her best to ignore him. Tulok was handsome, standing almost as tall as her brother but less muscular. He wore a warriors wolf tail and had deep blue eyes that usually caused the other girls in the village to swoon but not her, she knew better. Kavik was handsome as well, his hair was longer than his friends and he was shorter and leaner but was still considered a great warrior.

"And why not?" The girl says with narrowed eyes and her hands on her hips. Katara knew that look, and she hoped that Tulok wouldn't say anything too stupid.

"Tulok don't-" Kavik begins to say before his friend cut him off.

"You hurt your pretty little face. A woman has no place fighting with grown men." He replies crossing his arms and a frown on his face.

Katara's eyes widened in anger. How dare he? No place fighting with a grown men? "Tulok you should walk away before she does something you won't like" Katara warns.

"Fight me." Ulva states causing all four heads to turn to her in surprise.

"Excuse me?" Tulok asks in disbelief.

"You heard me, fight me. A spar. Right here. Right now." She says again before smirking "Unless you're afraid that this pretty little face will kick your butt."

Kavik and Sokka let out a bellowing laugh causing Tulok to grow red in anger. "Fine. Let's go."

Katara jogged up to her friend who was pulling off her parka leaving her in a sleeveless fur top "Ulva, you don't need to do this." She says as Ulva accepts the spear Sokka hands her.

"I know but I want to. I've always wanted to fight one of the big boys and now I am. What could be better?" She states with a laugh.

Katara turns to her brother "Sokka are you going to let them do this?"

He shrugs nonchalantly "She challenged him, she has to be the one to back down. She technically challenged his beast so it's personal to Tulok."

Katara sighed and watched with worry as Ulva and Tulok made their way to the center of the field, a crowd began to form around them.

"It's not too late to back down now girly." Tulok states with a taunting smile. He was now shirtless and held a spear of his own.

"Not a chance pretty boy." Ulva replies with a smirk.

Kavik stood by Katara, his light blue eyes held worry as he watched Ulva who turned to smile reassuringly at him. Katara couldn't help but think there was something going between the two. Hopefully Ulva made it out in one piece. Tulok may be an idiot but he was a strong fighter, almost as good as her brother.

Sokka stood between the two "This will be a fair fight, no bending and no outside help. And try not to kill each other." He chuckles before nodding his head signialling the beginning of the fight. Loud cheers erupted around them, some cheering for Ulva, some for Tulok.

Ulva and Tulok didn't strike at first, they were sizing each other up. It didn't last long before Tulok made the first move, something Katara knew Ulva expected.

The long haired girl jumped back with a smirk and used her speak to wack him on the back with a giggle earning a growl from Tulok. He turns and sweeps his foot cause her to fall back on her back with a groan.

Katara held back Kavik who looked like he wanted to charge the field. Ulva stood with a glare while Tulok smirk.

Letting out a yell she charged at him with her spear, Tulok was on defense immediately blocking her every jab. He used his weapon to twist the spear out of her hand and to fly a few feet away from her.

A hush fell through the crowd, they had believed the fight was over and Ulva was giving up.

Tulok smirk and ran at her with his weapon raised hoping to get her to yield. Ulva glared before running towards him as well before sliding between his legs to rise up behind him. Roughly she kicked his back causing him to fall forward, face first into the snow not without yanking his weapon from his hands. Flipping onto his back Tulok became face to face with his own spear held by a grinning Ulva.

Her hair was messy and sticking to her face but it didn't bother her "Yield." She states with authority.

Tulok kept his mouth shut refusing to admit defeat. Katara shook her head, would that boy ever learn?

Ulva pushed the spear head to his neck "Yield Tulok." She orders again.

"I yield." He says with narrowed eyes.

Sokka grinned and ran up to Ulva raising her arm "Ulva has defeated the mighty warrior Tulok."

The crowd shouted and cheered running to Ulva and congratulating her. Sokka helped Tulok to his feet who reluctantly shook Ulva's hand. Katara smiled at her friend and turned making her way out of the training field, jealousy burning in her.


It was near night time when Gran Gran found her trying to bend.

"Come on stupid water! Do as I say!" Katara says in frustration only to have the water move above her head and suddenly burst, drenching her in water. "Ugh!" She groans in anger.

"What are you doing child?" Kanna asks with a chuckle nearing her grand daughter.

Katara turned to her grandmother in sadness "I was just trying to practice waterbending but I can't control it."

Her grandmother rose an eyebrow "And why are you so desperate to learn waterbending all of a sudden? It wouldn't have to do with Bato's daughter sparring with Tulok today would it?"

Of course her gran gran would know the truth. She slumped her shoulders and sighed "I just want to be a warrior, to be more than just the chief's daughter. I know I'm meant for something more!"

Kanna smiled and wrapped her arms around her granddaughter "And you will Katara!" She says encouragingly "You are destined for great things, and they it will happen when the time is right."

"But how?" Katara questions as she glances up at the now starry sky. Kanna's eyes followed Katara's with a smile but says nothing.

"Come, a good night's rest is what you need."

Later that night Katara's dreams were filled with the golden eyed man again. Something that has been occurring lately. She didn't know what it meant but he always said the same thing to her:

"Come with me Katara. I can show you what you've been desiring."

There was something big coming. She just knew it.


I know it seems that Katara is a little OC but remember, she doesn't have much training in fighting or in water bending which will obviously change and we'll see more of the warrior Katara we know and love lol
