"How does that feel"the water tribe girl who name you found out was katara asked you,she was healing your burn wound that you got by zuko.
"Ah...better thank you"you tell her
She stops healing you,she had been doing it for sometimes now about a week or so,you guys meet up with Sokka and Katara's father you guys took a fire nation ship for cover,the Avatar was up now had grown some hair since he had been out,you guys also ran into some trouble with the other fire nation,your sister has yet to talk with you about anything she mainly kept her distance but there where times when she did come to your room you saw her feet outside the door and heard her as she walked away from it,you did really want to talk with her but you just didn't know what to say to her right now you had alot to say to her but you just didn't know how to get it out.
you put on your clothes after Katara helped you"It's getting alot better"she tells you trying to cheer you up
"T-thanks"you tell her not really in the mood it still hurt you mentally.
She saw this she was about to say something when"Hey umm Katara"Toph's voice
You both look up and see her standing there in the corner she didn't look in the room.
"Yes, Toph"Katara
"Umm...Sokka needs you"she tells her
"Oh alright then"Katara leaves your room,you watch her leave then look at your sister,she stood there you both where waiting for the other to say something first it was stone cold silent with you both,you got up and walked to the door,you stop and look down at your sister she didn't look at you.
*Oh Toph*you thought as you looked at her,you felt like reaching out to her and giving her a hug,but you didn't you just turn your back to her and walked down the hall,Toph looked up at you as you walked down the hall,she clenched her hand inside it was your favorite ribbon
you make outside on the deck,you look over at the ocean as you walk to the tip,you sigh how could you beaning your little sister the cold shoulder,was because of what Zuko or was the reject that you felt either way you where taking it out on her and your relationship.
"Hey Avani"Sokka calls to you
You turn around to see him walking over to you in his fire nation clothing"Yes purse boy?"you asked him calling him by his nickname
"Funny...look its good to have you on the team"he told you
"What makes you think that I am part of any team"you tell him
"Well since you are Toph's older sister it would seem right"he tells you,you turn away from him when he said that
"I don't deserve to be her sister...not after what i did"you tell him
"...Look we've all made mistakes...I'm sure if you just talk with Toph...I'm sure that she will understand"he tells you
"I can't talk with her"you tell him
"Why not"he asked you
You clinch your fist"...Its to hard to explain"you tell him
He sighs"I know that its hard being the oldest...your suppose to be a role model for your younger ones and we're suppose to be the ones that look out for them and protect them."he tells you"You need to talk with Toph...I've never seen her like this...she's your sister"
You thought about what he said"She..."you sigh and leave it at that as you turn away from him to walk away
"Zuko hurt you didn't he?"Sokka,you stop in your tracks"...Your taking it out on yourself... it was someone you loved...and since you hurting from that you just don't know what to do...is that why you won't talk with her"Sokka asked you
You didn't say anything"that's none of your bu-"he stops you
"It wasn't right for him too...I know it hurt when a love one it gone...but that doesn't give you right to stop feeling nothing for those still with you...;like you do with Toph"he tells you you stop walking he comes over to you,you felt him touch your shoulder then he walks away from you.
You where back inside the ship in your room,you thought of Sokka just told you,you shake your head maybe he was right she was sister she did look up to you alot you knew it,you thought of when she was born you where so happy you loved to watch her as she got older,the things you both did together,you let out heavy sigh,you get up and go out your room,you look down the hall to the left and go that way,you make it back up to the ship,you see toph was out there with Katara,you walk over to them,Katara stops talking when she sees you,you smile at her
"Hey...toph can I talk with you"you asked her
Katara understood and left you both,you waited for her to all the way gone,you look back at your sister her back was turn to you
"Yeah what do you want"she asked you in a cold voice,you took it
"...I know your mad at me...I know I hurt you deeply when I left you...I know I should left you some reason why I left...but you should know I never left because of you...iIlove you to much to something like to you in my whole life"you tell her,you waited for her say something,she didn't"nothing I say can cover up for what I did to you...you needed me...but I know when I left you where a strong girl look at you now when I do...you grew up to be a wonderful earthbender...you're teaching the Avatar"you semi laugh,she didn't say anything to you,you let out a sigh"...Toph..."
You waited for to say something,but she didn't you left it at that,you turn around to leave her but she spoke up
"Why did you leave me"she asked you
You stop in your tracks"Why did you leave me..."she asked you once again"all this since you have been gone I tried so hard to figure out why you left me"you could tell she was hurt by her voice"i did need you...but as I grew up I learned that I didn't...I made myself stronger when you left...but I still didn't feel that way...when you came back that one day to the house...I tried to stop you...but didn't...but I should have...why did you leave Avani...huh"
You exhale"The reason I left Toph just so you know it wasn't because of you...don't get me wrong...I loved our life at home...but one day while you where sleeping in your room and I was called to father's room i went your mother was the only one in there...well your mother...she told me that I was a danger to you...that I was a bad person to you...the things you did...she thought I was going to get you hurt...she knew that was the last thing that I would want to do...I told her that I would never do anything to you like that...she said that I was and who knows you might end up worse then you are...so told me the only way to avoid it is by leaving...I didn't want too...I asked what our father thought...she said he said the same thing so that night I left i got my things together...and left not without leaving you something behind my ribbon...I didn't want to leave you Toph I really didn't"she could hear like you wanted to cry"you where the only thing in my life that really made me happy...I hated leaving you but I didn't want you to get hurt it wasn't until a year later that I felt bad...what really hurt me was leaving you I wish I never should have done that...so now you"
She was quiet"Your not lying"toph tells you
"Yeah I'm not"you tell her
"...But mom told me you left because you didn't care any more about me"she tells you,you could hear hurt in her voice she was starting to cry"this whole time I believed her...but that's not the reason..."she turns around and you could see that she had tears in her eyes"..."she started,you smile at her before you could go to her she came to you,she buried her face in you as she gave you a hug,you smile at her but cry as well,you give her a tight hug"I missed you so much Avani"she tells you
"I did too Toph and I'm soooo sorry for leaving you"you tell her,you look down at her she looks up at you"now what did I tell you about crying"you tell her laughing.
"Your doing it too"she tells you with a smile as she gave you other hug
After your talk with Toph and everything was alright,you found out that Aang had left the ship,you guys went to find him,it took you guys a few hours to find him when you did you guys find him on crescent island he told you guys that he need help with fighting the fire lord,the rest of the group told him that they would they gave him a hug,you stood behind watching them,you smile at them
"Hey Avani"Toph called to you,you look at her
"Yeah"you asked her
"Get in here you part of the family now"she tells you
You look at her then the rest they where up now looking at you".I don't know...I do have better things to do"you tell them with a smile
"Welcome to the team"Katara tells you
