I do not own any of the characters in this story, besides for Maria. Here is the second chapter (it might be shorter than the 1st chapter). I have changed a few things….when Katara is talking to herself it will be in this form, what was I thinking. Also, it was been 2 years since the Aang's death. In this story, Toph will be 15 years, Sokka will be 18, Katara will be 17, Zuko will be 18, & Azula will be 16. I want to thank the following people for subscription and reviews…

I stood there frozen as the mist disappeared from my sight. My heart was racing and my mind was full of questions. Slowly my feet started moving towards camp, but my mind wasn't focused on where I was going. How can I be a double bender? How am I going to explain to Sokka that I'm firebender?

I thoughts these questions until I heard a twig snap. I turn around just in time to see a fireball racing towards me! My eyes widened and close with fear, surprise, and pain as the fireball hit me. I expected to feel the most unbearable pain, but to my surprise I felt nothing. I opened my eyes slowly to see 20 fire nation soldiers around me with shocked written on their faces. I looked down to see my body glowing an eerie red. Where the fireball had impacted me was not burned, but let was healing my skin.

"She is a firebender healer! She just used my firebending to heal!" said one of the soldiers as he back away from me as if I was a hideous beast. The soldiers took one look at me and ran off. To tell Princess Azula or Zuko, I thought. I shivered as I remember what Maria had told me.

Figuring the firebenders left, I made my way back to camp. The sun had begun to rise when I got back to camp. I still have some time to think, I thought. Sokka won't wake up for another hour and when Toph wakes up in a few minutes, she will go train. I was brought out of my thoughts when a lemur landed on my shoulder.

"Quiet…we don't want to wake the others", I said to Momo. I looked back into the forest where I had come from; for the strangest reason I could feel someone watching me. My gaze broke when I heard a voice from behind me.

"Katara, what are you looking at?" said Toph as she walked in front of me. My eyes went to her form, she so different from when I first met her 3 years ago. She had always been tough and she never cried. Her hair had always been kept short and wore her green headband, which Aang had given her. Looking at her now, you could have never had guess it was the same girl. Her eyes were puffy and her cheeks had tear stains on them, from the long nights she had been crying her heart out about Aang. Her dirt invested hair had grown out and was elbow length now. She had no desire to do anything these days, but train. Since the death of Aang, she wasn't cared what she looks like and has slit her wrist a couple of times, in order to be with Aang. My brother and I have wonder where her headband has went, but about 2 days after the death of Aang I saw her take the band off and stuff it in her bag. Her clothes had blood stains and tares, but she didn't care. During the day she acts like she doesn't care about anyone, but we can see right through her act. However at night, she shows her feelings and thoughts as she cries on my shoulders. I don't get much sleep these nights, between the nightmares and Toph.

"Nothing, it was just another dream. Do you need anything?" I asked quietly looking straight in her eyes. She nodded her head and walked off towards the cliff. I could almost see regret in her eyes as she turned away.

"You do know that she admit it", I heard my brother say as he came to stand next to me. I know, I thought. Toph would never admit she needed help during the day, but at night she would beg for it. How wrong my brother was, he wasn't the one Toph cried on, he wasn't the one having nightmares, and he wasn't a double bender.

"Your up early Sokka", I said as I looked at him. Little did he know that he was just like Toph, they had both change. Sokka was brave, strong, his hair in the 'warrior's wolf tail', always hungry, and used his stupid humor all the time 3 years ago. But now he had changed too, just like Toph, you couldn't tell he was the same boy. Even though he had matured and his voice deepen, his voice cracked when he talk. Growing up he would say it was a sign a weakness and not being brave. I'm too afraid to ask because it will lead to fighting, the last thing I want. He believes it's his fault Aang is dead because he was not strong enough, so now he trains. He hardly wants anything to eat and when he goes eat, it is an apple. He hasn't touch meat since Aang's death, I supposed it has to do with the joke he made to Aang about meat. However with all of the training he does everyday, he was gotten a six-pack from it (note: one good thing as to happen). His hair is shoulder length and it smells like sweat, most of the time from training. He leaves his hair down, having it in a 'warrior's wolf tail' brings back too much memories I guess. He has not used his stupid humor in 2 years. Sometimes I forget how funny he was when he was trying to be serious, but now he doesn't even smile. We have all change since your death Aang, I thought as I looked up to the sky and back down to Sokka.

"What's wrong Katara? Please tell me", Sokka said as he stood in front of me with a frown on his face. I knew I couldn't hide the truth any longer, I had to tell him.

"Sokka, I am a…" I grasped as I felt pain in my stomach. My hands traveled downward until I felt an arrow and when I looked down, my hands were soaked with blood. My head started spinning as I heard yelling and shouts. I looked up to see Toph and Sokka fighting off firebenders, but they were out numbered by a lot. My knees buckled and I started to fall when two strong arms caught me. My vision started to get blurry and I blacked out.
