The next morning when I woke up, Toph was standing next to my bed. She had a grim expression on her face, which defiantly made me start to panick. I looked down at my hands, and sure enough, they were covered in blood, just as they were every morning.

"Toph… What exactly did I do last night?' I asked tentatively, not sure I wanted to know the answer. Toph just stood there with that look of mingled disgust and pain on her face. "Toph, tell me what I did!"

"Sugar Queen… you… you… You went into the forest, and I felt the vibrations… there were these rabbits… and they weren't acting normal… And you… You were controlling them! But then, they tried to fight it and… and… you… You killed them. Just like that. It wasn't normal, the rabbits almost like… exploded it felt like… And the blood, I felt it…" Toph stopped and shuddered, and just as she did, I noticed that she had some blood on her feet.

"Toph…I…I killed them? I bloodbended them? But.. but.. that's impossible! I was asleep! I…I… it wasn't even a full moon!"

"I don't know how, but you did Katara, you did."

"This is impossible! I said I would never bloodbend again… I…I…" and as I trailed off I dissolved into tears. This couldn't be happening. I needed to know how this happened.

"Look… Katara…" Toph started, "I didn't feel anyone else anywhere near, but I did feel that you where completely asleep. Your heartbeat was slow and your breathing relaxed, so I know it wasn't really you doing those things…"

"It's ok Toph," I tried to explain through my tears, "You can stay away from me if you want, I understand if you think I'm too dangerous to be around…" I trailed off.

"No, that's not it Sugar Queen. I just wanna help you solve this thing…" "But Toph, what if its you I hurt next or Sokka or Aang…"

"I don't think that'll be a problem until we figure out what's making you do this…" "Thanks," I sniffled, "Oh and Toph, if ANYONE finds out about this…"

"Ya, ya, You'll do to me what you did to the rabbits."

"Sure, something like that." She smiled and walked out of the room, off to clean her feet I supposed.

Uh Oh, I thought, I've been up too long! Now Aang and Sokka will be up! Ok, if I just sneak off to the river and…

"Hey Katara!" Sokka called as he walked into my room. I quickly shoved my bloodied hands into my sleeping bag as Sokka continued to talk. "You're normally up a lot earlier than this, are you sick or something?"

"Uh, ya I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately." I coughed to prove my point.

"You look kinda pale too, maybe you should stay in bed for today."

"Ya, that sounds good." I agreed, throwing in another cough. "Sokka, do you think you could get me some water? I'm a little thirsty."

"Sure, you just have to promise me you'll stay in bed today."

"I promise…"

"Ok I'll be back with your water in a minute."

I let out a huge sigh when Sokka left the room. That was close, I thought. I removed my hands from the sleeping bag, I turned them over, cringing in distaste at the thought of the poor rabbits whose blood was now under my fingernails. What else had I been controlling? What else had I destroyed? How could I even bloodbend without the full moon? Was I more powerful than Hama? These questions swirled about in my brain as I stared down at my bloody hands.

"Here's your water!" Sokka barged in again as I stuffed my hands back in my sleeping bag. Sokka placed the waterskin next to my sleeping bag and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "Feel better soon Katara!" He called as he walked out of the room. I slowly took my hands from the folds of the sleeping bag and began to clean my hands with the water from the waterskin. Soon after I had washed the wretched blood off of my hands, I found myself with a dilemma. The bloody water. It was obvious that something had happened as the water was tinted a light mahongany color.

I figured it wud just be best to bend it out of the window, which I did. What I didn't figure, is that there would be someone beneath the window, on whose head I would bend the water onto. Oops.
