CHAPTER 2: Nightmares-
That same morning, Katara woke up as Aang began his morning excersizes. Looking around she sighed slightly seeing that Zuko and Sokka remained absent from the rest of the group. Seeing that Katara was awake, Aang stopped his excersizes and walked over.
"Good morning Sifu Katara." He said, a wide grin spread across his face. Amazed at how his mood had changed since the previous afternoon, she gave him a confused look.
"You're not mad anymore?" She asked, but his smile just widened as he shook his head.
"Of course I'm not mad Katara. How could I be mad at you?" He replied, but all he got in return was a mumbled string of curses. Looking around the quiet platform Katara noticed Sokka and Zuko weren't the only ones missing.
"Hey, have you seen Toph this morning?" She questioned but Aang shook his head.
"Nope. Not today." He said before walking off, leaving Katara confused.
~o.O.o~
Toph didn't come out until late the last night, after she was sure that everyone else was asleep. Crawling away from where Aang, who seemed to always be right in the way, was asleep. Moving as quietly as she could past him she went to where she knew she would be safe, beside Katara. Feeling a small amount of comfort come to her she laid down beside her friend and quietly bent up an earth tent trying desperately trying not to wake her.
"Toph... Are you okay?" Katara asked, poking her head into the entrance of the tent.
"Tell anyone and I will kill you."
Toph wanted to say it, she did. But knowing how bad Aang could act, she didn't want to chance getting blown up by her, once, true love. Letting out a deep breath she lied.
"I'm fine. Just wanted some time alone. To think and such." Katara, knowing she was lying, crawled into the little space that was left in the tent.
"Really? What's wrong?"
Toph scowled and rolled over to face away from the water bender.
"Hormones."
That should get her to leave, it was every girl's excuse Suki had told her. Katara sighed and patted her shoulder.
"Just sleep. It helps." She said, in her 'mother' voice. "Trust me" She said then left the tent, Toph letting out a silent sigh of relief as she did.
She hated lying about this, but she was afraid of the consiquences of telling the truth. Why had this happened? Because she had allowed her feelings to get to her. It was her fault. She curled up letting tears fall again.
~o.O.o~
She was lying in the room, frozen to the ground. Eyes clentched shut. "If I can't have Katara, then I guess I can have you." The words ran through her mind, exploding bombs of fear. Then he was on her, kissing her. "Aang stop! Not again!" She cried out, but Aang's hand quickly covered her mouth. "Silence." He commanded before uncovering her mouth to work on her belt. She was crying in fear, not wanting to go through this again.
"KATARA!" The word slipped out, and hearing her Aang quickly burned her face. Then silence, the only sounds were a few sniffs from Toph. Then there was a faint sound of footsteps. Aang got off her, then the sound of lightning filled the room. Toph felt the heat, then shrieked in pain as the lightning entered her heart...
~o.O.o~
She woke up with a scream, waking everyone else in camp, but Toph ignored the concerned calls and rolled over crying again. He mind wasn't going to let her live this down.
