Chapter 4
After Two Year
A beautiful women were seated in her lovely silk green colored room in her new home. She was about fourteen years old and was living with her foster mom, Aunt Wu, and foster sister Meng.
The girl had long black hair that reached her legs in a neat bun with a flower pin, pale but shinning green blind eyes, peach tan skin and a beautiful body that made boys drool. The girl was wearing a earth green kimono with a red ruby embedded sash. She was sitting on her queen size bed, bending some dirt in a bowl. She was none other then Toph Bei Fong.
"Toph, dear," called Aunt Wu from the hallway, "Please come and help me."
"YEAH," called Meng, "HURRY UP!"
"Meng!" said Aunt Wu, firmly.
"Coming Mom," said Toph.
Over the year, Toph learn to call Aunt Wu 'mom' even though she wasn't really her mother, but she love her either way. Aunt Wu understanded Toph's blindness and gave her the freedom that her real parent never gave her. Toph made her way through the hallways till she found Aunt Wu and Meng in front of the door.
Over the years, both Meng and Aunt Wu change. Aunt Wu was older, and she was dressed in a orange and an orange-red kimono with rubies that Toph found embedded into it, but she still made predictions for the villagers. But Meng had a grown sperg, her hair, now manageable, was in ponytail and she wore a pink and blue kimono with pink sandels.
"Hello mother," said Toph, bowing to them.
"My dear, Toph," said Aunt Wu, "Please, can you and Meng go to the forest and bring back herbs, wood and water for tonight?"
"Of course, Aunt Wu," said Meng before Toph had said a word.
Ever since Toph came to the village, she change into a beautiful and well mannered girl. But she still train and was the best earthbender in the entire nation. Toph had enter lots of tournaments, contest and battles. She won many trophies and metals and money for the town. All the boys where both amazed and dazzled by Toph's strength and beauty. Meng have been jealous ever since.
"Good, I thank you girls. And I predict that you will have a safe journey."
The girls left the house and walked through the village. All the villagers, especially boys, had came to say good morning to them. Toph greeted them with a warm smile. But even though Toph was smiling, she could sense Meng giving her a dirty look. She could tell she was mad because she could feel the boys drooling and staring at her. After escaping the village boys, Toph and Meng had finally had it to the woods.
"Well, were here," answered Meng laying down on a tree, "So Toph, YOU pick up the herbs, water, and wood."
"Of course, Meng," said Toph with anger in her voice.
This is a routine that Meng and Toph go through. Meng always tell Toph to do everything that Aunt Wu say. But Toph usually goes off into the woods and plays with the birds and animals while, sooner or later, Meng does the chores. But when goes back to Aunt Wu's house, Toph is already there with everything done, making Meng look like a fool.
Toph quickly sneaked away from the sleeping Meng and found the hidden path, she made that lead to a small river. Toph happly made her way through the tangled trees and flower-covered vines untill she found the lake. She took off her sandels and dipped her feet into the crystal clear while the fish swirled around them. Soon, Toph hear the sweet songs of bluebird's up above her head. Toph started to sway to the music that bluebirds made, she started to sing:
I sense there something in the wind,
That seems tragedy's ahead,
And thought I like to stand by him,
Can't shake this feeling that I have,
The worst is just around the bend,
And does he notice,
My feelings for him,
And will he see,
How much he means to me,
I think it's not to be,
What will become of my dear friend,
Where will his action lead us then,
Although I'd like to join the crowd,
In there enthusiastic cloud,
Try as I may, it doesn't last,
And will we ever,
End up together,
No I think not,
It's never to become,
For I am not the one,
And will we ever,
End up together,
No I think not,
It's never to become,
For I am not the one.
Toph dried her eyes. She got up, with the birds sitting on her shoulder. She walk back to the forest and pick 30 different kinds of herbs, a bucket of water, and some firewood and walked back to the house. She placed the objects on the floor and quickly walk to her room when Meng burst through the door.
"NOT FAIR," Meng scream.
Toph gave not reaction to her screaming and just walked to her room. Toph changed out of her green kimono and into her earthbending clothing. Over the years, her training clothing has change into something more suitble. Her training cloths were now a chinese green shirt and black pants with a brown sash and her old green headband.
She pulled out her green cloak and walked out of the house. She walked to the market place to buy a dress. She hope to at less look nice for the king's party in the kingdom the was a few miles away. She hoped that she will someday 'see' Aang, Katara, Sokka, Appa and Momo.
She has no idea that it will be sooner the she think.
