It was hot in the tent, too hot. Even pressing myself against the cool rock sides didn't make a difference. I shoved Sokka away, a scream echoing around us.
"What was that?" I whispered to Sokka.
He shook his head.
"We should probably go check that out." I said.
He continued sitting there. I frowned.
"Stop being a big baby!"
I snaked out of the tent and peered around, trying to locate the source of the scream. It was then that I saw Aang thrashing on the ground. I dashed over, placing a hand on his shoulder to wake him.
"Are you ok?" I asked when his gray eyes fluttered open. "You were screaming."
His face flushed slightly. "I was having another nightmare."
"Well knock it off! Some of us want to get a little sleep around here before the invasion!" Toph shouted from a few feet away. I scowled at her, and Aang sat up.
"What was your nightmare about? It helps to share sometimes." Katara suggested.
I plopped down next to Aang only to have him hoist me up again.
"Hikari was bending mud because her neither of her elements were working! Hikari, you have to practice and be careful! Mud isn't dangerous!" Aang burst out.
I started bending to ease his worries, and it came to me as easy as it always has. I shrugged at him.
"See, just fine. I'm not going to bend mud, though I can." I laughed.
Toph had flopped back down and was snoring obnoxiously. I sighed. "Well I'm going back to bed." Aang grabbed my arm as I turned to go in the tent.
"No! You need to bend more!" He demanded.
I gave another heavy sigh and began bending. This was going to be a long night.
