Its only a quickie this time... it came to be when i woke up this moning (go figure) and so i quickly typed it out before work. Enjoy!


The world around her was crumbling. The floor itself beginning to crack. Heat, intense heat from all sides. She was blind, really blind her senses refusing to work. The heat coming closer. She began to feel it flick at her starting at her feet and ankles, small bites of flame burning through the fabric of her pants and boiling into the skin. The fire gaining appetite and mauling further into the flesh. Yet somehow she couldn't move. She knew she had to, get away from the heat but even her muscles were frozen. She felt the flame lick at her thighs, the smell of smoke overwhelming. Agony as she heard a woman screaming yet couldn't place the voice.

MOVE she yelled at herself. MOVE AWAY! But nothing happened except the fire advancing up her body. The feeling in her feet and legs forgotten as the heat started to demolish her upper body. Sparks began to reach her face, forcing her to taste the intensity. It began to catch her hair, and slide along her scalp. The smell of burning flesh sickening as still her body denied moving, her fingers twitching in anticipation waiting for pain. It was only then she realised her arms were above her head. Was she tied here? Was that why she couldn't move?

But still the fire climbed ever higher until it would simply extinguish her completely.

Toph awoke, sitting straight abruptly. She waited for the world to come into focus, her heartbeat still erratic. She tried to steady her breathing but she still feel the heat coming for her. Coming ever closer.

A clumsy hand reached for her waist, pulling her back down under the covers. "It's fine, you're safe." Sokka chanted, while wrapping her tiny body in a groggy embrace. Within seconds he was asleep again, snoring lightly. A small smile crossed Toph's features before she fell asleep as well - warm but not from fire.


Told ya it was only short lol...
