I ran into the courtyard to find that everyone was still tending to Haru's body, leaving just Toph and me alone. "Toph, you knew this had happened. And you know why." I said coldly. She just stared up at me, with her face of stone and sightless eyes.
"Yes Katara," she said softly, in a voice of ice, "I know everything that happened last night, and I know who did it. I knew Haru was dead from the time his heart stopped." I was silent and she continued on, "Haru died the same way the rabbits in the forest died, Katara. He was violently torn apart after he was controlled. You killed Haru, Katara." My eyes went wide and she gave a cold laugh, "Haru was just a warmup though. I know for a fact that you are going for a much higher target. I know you're aiming to the same to Aang as you did to Haru." My eyes brimmed with tears. If what Toph was saying was true, and I was almost sure it was, I would stop at nothing to kill the boy I loved.
My tears of sadness where quickly turned to tears of rage. I pushed past Toph and began to make my way down to my room. I had to pass Haru's room, and when Aang saw me, he stopped trying to move Haru's body and gave his feet to Sokka as he and Zuko began to carry him in the opposite direction. Aang began to run up to me, and I began to walk faster, angry tears still streaming from my eyes. I couldn't let Aang get hurt. Especially by me.
All of a sudden, I began to get unbearably hot, and had to slow down, allowing Aang to catch up. "Listen, Katara," he started, but he didn't get a chance to finish, because at that moment, my knees buckled and suddenly, I wasn't on my feet anymore. "Katara!" I heard Aang yell, but I was swimming in and out of consciousness.
I heard Aang's voice, "Sokka!" and then I felt strong arms lifting me up, and carrying me into a room- I wasn't sure, but I didn't think it was mine. I was put down on what I thought was a bed. I felt a cool hand on my forehead, and Sokka's voice; "Aang she's burning up! Can't you heal her or something? You're a waterbender!" I thought I heard the splash of water coming out of a waterskin. I felt cool water on my temples. I heard Aang's voice; "It's not working. I can't heal like Katara can." And then everything went black.
