Disclaimer: I OWN AVATAR, just joking. If I did, Toph would've got together with Duke. I own Grace though, she's mine!
Chapter 1: Wait, what?
I walked back into Jet's tent the blanket trailing, I wanted to fall asleep again to wake up to my sister. I missed her already so much.
"So Grace," Jet sat next to me on the bed, "What were you doing in the forest?" I thought he might ask me this but I I needed an excuse I couldn't tell him that I just woke up there, could I?
"I don't know," I shrugged, It was the truth. I don't even know how I got there, I'm still convinced this is me dreaming.
"Are you fire nation?" His glare hardened at me. He didn't trust me anymore I could see it in his eyes although I was being honest. I answered his question truthfully again but I doubt he'll trust me at all again.
"What's this fire nation you speak of?" I asked biting my lip to see him look surprised. I could see he was about to speak but shut his mouth. "What?"
"How don't you know of the fire nation? They only have caused a 100 year old war and wiped out the air nomads and the avatar is a lost hope!" His voice rose and he stood up yelling now like my Dad did. I brought my legs up to my chest, I was afraid.
"Grace?" He looked at me noticing my reaction, he tried to get closer to me but I put my hand up to stop him. "Sorry but I don't get how you don't know of the fire nation…"
"Well," I thought of a believable story I couldn't tell him that I'm from a different world because I don't even know if that's true. "You know how I said nameless when you asked my name?" He nodded, okay time to become the queen of bullshitting. "Truth is, I couldn't remember my name…" I confessed.
He looked shocked but he believed me, "So how come you said Grace today?" He asked me, sitting down next to me again. His hand flinching as he went to rest it on my shoulder.
"I don't know, I don't exactly want to go by nameless…" I said looking at the ground.
"Well I think maybe you lost your memory, that how you don't know of the fire nation…" I thought about it for a second, this is another world claiming memory loss would be better than nothing.
"Yeah, I guess…" I replied.
"Well then first thing you need to know, don't trust the fire nation." He seemed to stress this out. I started thinking, well he's a teenager why is he worried about one nation? But then I remember how he said this is a 100 year old war, our wars haven't gone that long…
"Okay, noted. Can you catch me up on your world later? Right now, I want to do something exciting…" My eyes drifted off to see long a boy practising shooting at the trees. "Archery! Something is telling me I'm bad at that but come on, maybe he could try and teach me!" I started skipping towards the archer. Jet shook his head at how childish I was.
"Hello!" I greeted the boy who was practising his archery, which by his dartboard you could see he didn't need practise. They were all precise.
He nodded once at me, doesn't he speak? Jet came by my side, "This is Longshot." Longshot went back to his bow and arrow to shoot again.
"Well Longshot, how do you feel about teaching me?" I said, taking an arrow.
He looked at me, is that a yes? He nodded. Does he read minds or something? I brushed it off and he gave me his bow, I brought the bow up and the arrow sat in place. Longshot changed where my arms were comfortable to where they should be. He nodded, so I let go. I didn't get as precise as Longshot but it was a good shot from what I could tell. I continued to try and aim my shot better Longshot correcting me when I missed. Everynow and then I tried to get him to talk but he didn't. Something stopped him so I let it go.
"Hey Longshot," A voice behind me said. I turned around to see a girl with short hair stare at me.
"Hi there, I'm Grace," I said to her, "What's your name?"
"Smellerbee," She stated crossing her arms.
"Unusual name for a girl, I like it." She stared at me again after my statement, she looked shocked. I honestly did like her name though. I always wonder why my parents called me Grace.
"Hmm," she smiled, "Many people mistake me for a guy."
"Why? I can tell you aren't," I grinned at her. I could tell that she was a girl by her eyes, her facial expressions, she was a girl. Maybe because I'm a girl I noticed she isn't a boy? I don't know.
"Well ask Jet, he thought I was a boy..." She shrugged. Longshot rolled his eyes at us and took the bow off me and started practising again.
"Come on Smellerbee, I want you to tell me more about this place..." I grabbed her arm and we started walking off.
Smellerbee showed me around, introducing me to The duke who was shorter than me which is surprising since I am extremely short well, in my world. He's pretty yound though. She also introduced me to pipsqueak. They all had unusual names, I suspected they were just nicknames but I wasn't going to ask. Jet was off doing some "business" Bee told me. We continued walking around the camp, Bee telling me that they'd all lost people through the war and they formed a gang, the freedom fighters.
I thought I would mention this isn't OCxJet well I don't plan for it to be but if people want that to happen, please tell me! Also, each chapter is going to be approx. 1,000 words. Maybe over, maybe under.
