Well, here is the next chapter! Enjoy!
Aang sat on Appa, Katara still in his arms. He held her tight and close to himself, hoping that the worse would not come.
"Sokka! Land by the nearest village you can find!" Aang yelled.
"I'm on it; there's one ahead." Sokka stated.
"I hate Azula!" Toph said flatly.
"Who doesn't?" Sokka replied.
Aang was silent. He just gazed down at Katara and tried not to shed any tears. He had so much guilt built up inside of him.
"Aang as soon as we land take Katara and find help." Sokka shouted as they went down toward land.
When they were close enough to the ground, Aang jumped off, with Katara safely secured in his arms, and ran to a girl that was a few feet away.
"Excuse me miss, my friend is hurt and we need to get her help, can you tell us where to go?" Aang spat out quickly.
The girl pointed to a big hut that was right behind some other buildings. "Right through there." She said.
Aang thanked her and ran to the hut with Toph and Sokka right behind him.
As he entered the hut he saw some girls and asked them if they could help. They gasped and one of them spoke. "Quick! Come with us!" They rushed him into a room and he sat Katara on one of the beds.
Aang then walked outside of the room and waited.

Aang waited for what seemed like hours pacing in front of the door thinking of how horrible he felt. Toph and Sokka were just as worried but they sat in two chairs and waited.
"Would you stop Twinkletoes! You're making me dizzy!" Toph yelled.
Aang didn't listen though. He was in his own world. Then one of the girls stepped out of the room and Aang stopped as Toph and Sokka stood.
"Your friend was in an unstable position…" she started
Was? That means she's not anymore right? Aang thought.
"…she was severely hurt, but we had our finest healer come in and she is now back to normal except for an excess amount of pain." Said the nurse.
They all gave a sigh of relief. "If you wish you can visit her now. She is conscious, but she is very tired." The nurse told them.
They rushed in and saw that Katara was lying in the bed with her eyes drooping.
Aang, Sokka, and Toph stood around her. Sokka squeezed her hand gently to comfort her and she gave them a thankful smile. "Glad to see you're okay Sugar Queen!" Toph said.
"Thanks, you guys are the best!" she said as she pulled them into a group hug.
Aang still hadn't spoke. He couldn't stand to see her like this.
"We're going to let you get some rest, but if you need us we'll be right next door." Sokka said as they left the room.
Toph followed Sokka and Aang started to follow but something stopped him. Katara reached out and grabbed Aang's hand and pulled him back to her. She then pulled him into a big embrace. Aang pulled away and spoke. "I-I- I'm sorry Katara." He said, his voice full of sadness and disappointment.
"Sorry? For what?" Katara asked.
"I didn't protect you; should have been there for you but I-." Aang couldn't continue because Katara had placed her lips on his and kissed him. Aang's eyes were wide and full of shock but he didn't pull away.
Katara pulled away and then spoke. "There's nothing to be sorry for. I went out by myself and I got myself into this mess." She said. Aang was still full of sorrow.
"Well I better let you get some rest." He said starting to leave again.
"Wait!" Katara said. Aang quickly turned around to see what she needed. "You're not going to leave me all alone are you?" she asked.
Aang smiled somewhat and she spoke again. "Please don't leave me." She pleaded.
"Okay, I'll stay." He said as he pulled up a chair next to her.
As she drifted off to sleep she heard Aang speak. "I love you Katara." He said. "I love you too, Aang." She replied before falling asleep. Aang's heart jumped out of him at that moment. Did she just say she loved me back? Or was she just tired and said what came to mind? Aang thought before he too drifted off to sleep.
I finally made it longer than all of the other chapters. R & R plz.
