Part 1 Of Underestimated
8 years after the war.
She's in tears.
And she knows she going to have a breakdown.
All the pent up feelings she has placed in her are gonna make her explode.
Her walls were going to break.
And she knows it.
She holds on to the railing while tears escape her useless eyes.
"You? You want to be republic city's chief of police? Fat chance. You're a blind woman Toph."
"Suki and I are going to get married!"
".. whatever Toph I have more important things to do."
"Watch where you're going. Are you blind?"
"There... that's the blind one. Did you see her eyes? It so creepy. Why is she so famous anyways? She just probably tagged along with the Avatar. Out of pity that is.. Hahaha"
No more. Toph gripped on the knife.
She has enough of this.
She is ready to bring the knife to her heart.
To end her life.
But then searing pain erupted in her head.
She screams. She clutches on her head. W-whats going on.
She falls to the ground with her eyes shut closed.
The pain is gone.
But so is she.
Her eyes open again. And they aren't milky green.
They're black.
The start :
"Toph! What's wrong with you?" Katara snapped at her.
Toph kept quiet and kept her head straight.
"Yeah Toph. Stop complaining. I've had enough." Zuko added.
Toph is tired of being the 7th wheel.
They were having a 'vacation' at Kyoshi Island.
But honestly why call this a vacation when all her friends are being all lovey dovey to their girlfriend/boyfriend.
"Forget it. Lets go inside. Toph ruined the mood."
They left and missed to see the tear that fell from her eyes.
No one took Toph seriously.
They treated her like a blind girl. As a burden.
Not just her friends but everyone around her.
But that was just a step to her thoughts of killing herself.
The Gaang sat on the big round table in the South Pole.
She didn't like the south pole since she had to wear shoes that refrained her from seeing.
But she'll do it for Sokka.
Eight years after the war and her love for Sokka never died.
But that day Sokka and Suki announced their engagement.
Katara shrieked. "FINALLY! OH GOSH SUKI WE'RE GONNA BE SISTER IN LAWS!"
"That's great." Toph gave them a fake smile. "Congrats to both of you."
"Thanks Toph." Sokka grinned.
Her heart hurts more now.
Now:
"Toph? Why.. why are you attacking republic city?
Her hair is down and messy.
She's wearing a sleeveless faded yellow dress shirt and wore baggy green pants.
The blind bender said nothing and flung some boulders at him.
Aang jumped away and deflected her blows.
"TOPH! STOP! I don't want to hurt you!"
His pleas were ignored.
Toph couldn't control her own body. But she knows what her body is doing.. from the vibration.
She wanted to scream.. but nothing was happening.
Toph.. her body fled away from the battle. She decides she needs to make a plan.
To destroy the Avatar.
"I-I don't know. It was almost as if someone was controlling her. Her eyes.. they were glowing black." The witness told the Gaang (minus Toph)
"Wait.. I read about this somewhere." Katara spoke up for the first time since the attack. "It's a dark and powerful spirit that takes over powerful benders when he or she is at her or his weakest moment. Where the bender is in its vulnerable state."
"Then that's must be what happened to Toph." Zuko concluded.
"How do we stop it?" Aang questioned.
"That's the thing..." Katara looked down. "Once its in her.. it's nearly impossible to get it out."
Katara looked back up.
"You have to kill her."
Should I continue?
