Aang and Sokka walked down the hall towards Toph's room, again not bothering to knock. "Toph, we know you're not telling us everything," Aang said immediately.
"Yeah, you need to tell us what's going on." Sokka agreed. Toph pushed herself up onto one hand and turned towards Sokka and Aang. She sighed, and in a very non-Toph-like way she answered, "I'll tell you why you can't find Katara, but you're not gonna like it."
Sokka hesitated but then answered, "Ok, why can't we find her?"
"She ran away," Toph answered simply.
"What?? That's it?" Aang fumed, "She was just here last night! She was with me last night! Why did she runaway then? Was it because of me?"
"No. It wasn't you," said Toph, "And believe me, I defiantly know for a fact it wasn't you, I felt that her heart rate when she was with you, and she was in ecstasy." Aang relaxed at this comment.
"But if she didn't leave because of Aang, then why did she leave?" asked Sokka.
"You want to know how Haru died?" she asked.
"No! We want to know where Katara went!" Aang exclaimed.
"Katara killed him! Katara killed Haru!" she went on. Aang froze. Sokka was looking completely shocked, his eyes wide, his mouth slightly open.
"She- she wouldn't do that," Aang gasped.
"Well, she did. She bloodbended him." At these words, Aang's head dropped into his hands.
"She- she… she wouldn't," Aang mumbled to himself. Sokka just turned and began to walk out, clearly extremely distressed.
"Wait," Aang heard Toph whisper. Sokka turned and Aang took his head out of his hands. "That wasn't the complete truth," she muttered. Sokka slowly walked back into the room and sat down on the bed. "Talk," he said almost inaudibly.
"What I said about Katara killing Haru, she did kill him, and she did bloodbend him, but it wasn't her fault. She was doing it while she was asleep. I didn't want to tell you because, because I'm scared. I'm scared what happened to Haru will happen to me- to one of us. I don't wanna die yet." And with that she burst into tears.
"Toph, listen, I know you're worried, but you shouldn't have kept this information from us. My sister obviously needs our help," Sokka said consolingly.
"I'm sorry," Toph sobbed. Sokka and Aang put their arms around her shoulders, and they joined together in a group hug.
"Toph," Aang said, "Thank you for telling us. I think we should go find Katara to help her solve this problem. I bet we can figure out why this happens to her at night, and bring her back here where she belongs."
