I have started writing Prequels; here is a list of them:
A Second First Date; One month after Aang defeated Fire Lord Ozai
Nightmares; A One-Shot Prequel to Together Again. Aang saved the world, he faced Ozai on his own. Everyone kept saying that he was a great hero, that he was so brave. He wore a brave face and acted all the hero they thought he was. But at night in his sleep he was a scared boy, scared for his life as he tried to get away from a psycho Firebender. The Battle came back at night.
Anila's Story; This is another Prequel to Together Again. It's about a Young Female Airbender just starting out in life. She was ready to travel the world as soon as she turns 16. Little does she know, Destiny has a grand purpose for her first child.
I Want to thank my beta readers for their help, advice, and contributions:
Chapter 119
Aang was playing glider and laughing with his childern as Katara watched, laughing from a blanket spread out on the grass. Li and Jade were sitting with Katara.
"He loves his children a lot." Li said. "My father always scared me... He was always angry."
"Li, you are free from him. He can never hurt you again." Katara said putting her hand on Li's. "You don't need to be afraid anymore."
"You will love living at the Air Temples." Jade said. "They are high in the peaks of the mountaing, so high that you are above the clouds."
"Have you figured out which Air Temple you want to live at?" Katara asked her.
"Well... I... I've put a lot of thpught into it and I decided that, as long as it's okay with you, Lady Katara" Li started, "I'd like to live at the Southern Air Temple... You are Jade are the first two friends I have ever had... I would feel lonely again anywhere else... If that's okay with you?"
Katara laughed, "If that's where you want to be then you are more than welcome to live at The Southern Air Temple."
"Living above the clouds sounds beautiful." Li said as she closed her eyes and tried to imagine how free she would feel living in the sky.
"At night you can see all the stars in the sky." Jade said closing her eyes too. "And the moon seams so close, like you could reach out and touch it." Li extended her hand out, as if she were reaching for the moon, she was grinning widely.
"Well, look at you!" Katara giggled. "You are beautiful when you smile Li."
Li opened her eyes she hadn't even realized she was smiling. "My mother was concidered one of the most beautiful women in the city..." Li's smile fell. "Until father wen't mad, he started hurting her... then she died." Fear replaced her smile.
"Li as soon as the New Ozai Society are taken care of we will be leaving, he will be in prison. And you will forever be free from him." Katara comforted her.
"Mommy I fly!" Gyatso called to her as Aang, holding tight, made Gyatso swoop and turn, as if he were gliding. Watching him laugh as squeal with joy gave Katara an idea, her next sewing project is going to be a harness for Aang to wear, so he could take them out on his glider. Most people would freak out about such an act but Katara knew that their children would be just as safe in the sky with their father as they are on the ground.
"Aang I need some thick, good quality fabric." She called to him.
He turned to her, "Anything you want, My Love! What do you need it for?"
"A surprise!" She called back.
"Okay!" He said with a laugh then went back to to playing with his children.
"Aang, I need to see you in my office." Zuko said as he emerged from the palace. "I need to discuss a few things with you."
"Oh, hold on a moment." He said as he turned to his wife. "Katara, Zuko needs to talk with me."
"Okay, it's just about nap time anyways."She told him as he brought his little ones to her.
"I'll see you in a little while." He told her with a soft kiss. "I love you so much."
She smiled and turned pink, "I love you too."
Aang followed Zuko back into the palace, as Katara, Jade and Li picked up the blanket and children and went to their suite.
LINEBREAK
Li was making tea as Katara put her children down for an afternoon nap. She was humming happily when Jade came walking into the tiny kitchenette. "You have a beautiful voice." Jade said.
"I... I didn't even realize I was doing it." Li blushed.
"Well, don't stop because of me." Jade told her.
Li turned to face Jade, "How long have you known Avatar Aang and Lady Katara?"
"Oh... A while... Well a little over a year and close to eight years." Jade told her,then explained more because Li looked confused now. "I first met then eight years ago, in Ba Sing Se. You see they had come to Ba Sing Se to talk with Earth King Keui, that's when I first met them. They were only boyfriend and girlfriend at the time... Did you knpow they have been together since the war ended? He was only twelve when he stopped Fire Lord Ozai and took his bending."
Li shook her head, she had no clue how long they had been together. She knew about Gyatso being born before they had gotten married but only because she had heard her father plotting and planning, about how the basterd son of the Avatar would be the easiest way to capture Avatar Aang. "How did you meet your husband?" Li asked Jade.
"We ran into each other, litterally, then Aang and Katara set us up. I love him with every ounce of my being." Jade smilled as she rubbed her small protruding abdomin.
"You think... maybe I might fine love too?" Li asked as she put the tea pot and a few tea cups on a tray and carried it into the front room.
"I think you will have an easire time then you think." Jade told her. "You know, you are beautiful and you sing beautifully... So why do you think you won't find love?"
"My..." Li took a deep shakey breath, Jade saw a single tear fall from Li's eye. "He always told me that I don't do anything right, my best bet was going to be a spinster. Stuck under his care because no man would want someone as ugly as I am."
"You are a beautiful woman Li." Katara said as she joined them on the couch. "Your father was a horrible, horrible, horrible man. He is so full of hate and anger, that's why he always put you down he did it to make himself feel better. He will never hurt you again, Aang and I will make sure of that."
"Lady Katara... I don't understand how you could be so kind to me, so loving... after... after I tricked you and they kidnapped you." Li hung her head in shame.
"Li, I don't blame you..." Katara told her, "In fact, I don't know if I could ever repay you for protecting me from those discusting men... you and I both know what would have happened to me if you didn't. You saved my life and the life of the one growing inside me."
"Okay, what did you want to talk to me about?" Aang said as he flopped down on the couch in Zuko's personal office. Aang was still tired from not getting any sleep the night before, he didn't notice the other person in the office until she spoke. "I wanted to warn both of you. The New Ozai Society has moved up their plans. Without an agent on the inside things will happen sooner than planned." Azula said from the corner of the room.
Aang sat up in a jolt, "Sooner, like how much sooner?" He asked her.
"You know, you were one funny lookin' kid... But now your quite handsome, you're quite yummy looking... If you ever wanna have some fun..."
"Azula! Shut up!" Zuko cut her off, he was so embarrased at what his sister had just said, he turned several shades of red. "The New Ozai Society! How soon?"
"I was just saying." She said with a smile.
"I don't care what you were saying... He's married with three children and one more on the way!"
"Well with so many children... He must really like...,"
"ENOUGH!" Aang yelled. "HOW SOON!?"
"Oh, fine." Azula said "I was just having some fun... A couple days maybe... I think, I don't fully know, but atleast I gave you warning."
"Thank you for the information. No thank you to your... whatever it was you were trying to say." Aang glared at her. He turned to Zuko, "You need to up your security here and at the prison... We need to protect everyone we love. There is no other option."
"I know, Aang... I have to protect you above everyone else. We need to find our head of special security." Zuko said as he and Aang left his office in search of Toph.
It didn't take them long to find her, well for her to go to them, she has been keeping a count of everyone in her vacinity, which was close to Aang and Katara's suite.
"What's up Twinkle-Toes?" She asked from her seat on the floor.
"Azula said we need to beef up our security, The New Ozai Society has moved up their plans. They could attack at anytime." Zuko told her.
"Okay, I gottcha' keep Twinkle-Toes safe... If they get him the world ends... I know! I know already! Shesh." Toph said shaking her head. "You act like I'm not the greatest earthdender in the world."
"Hey! I..." Aang started.
"You're the Avatar you don't count" Toph grumbled, Aang beating her did kind of bug her, but it also made her very proud, he had come a LONG way from that kid that wouldn't stand his ground.
Zuko was mortified, how could Azula say that... To The Avatar... To a married man! To hois best friend! To his other best friend's husband! He swiftly walked back to his living area, he wanted to see his baby girl so bad. It has been a long stressful day, and only her smile could help him feel better. He loved his daughter so much, and he regreats having to use a part time nanny, but things have needed him more...yes more than his duaghter. Security was more important because without it how could her keep her safe, The New Ozai Society wanted Ozai to kill him and his daughter. Zuko could never let that happen.
"Hi Daddy!" Ursa squealed as Zuko entered their living area, She ran to him and tackeled his legs. She pulled at his robes as she tried to climb up him.
"Hello Baby Girl!" He kissed her cheek. "I missed you so much! I am going to take you on a special Daddy daughter Vacation, just you and me!"
"No mommy?" The little girl still didn't understand where her mother had gone, or that she will never be back. Zuko had put out Wanted poster of her. Wanted for treasonous acts aginst the Crown.
"No Baby Girl, no Mommy." He hugged the two year old girl tightly. "Just you and me!"
"Okay Daddy!" Ursa said then she leaned over and kissed his scar. "Owie go bye bye." She told it.
"I Love you so much, Baby Girl! I will never leave you, I promise I will never hurt you." He told her thinking about how wonderful his childhood was, what a great father he had.
"I know!" She said with a smile.
As Aang did his nightly meditation and Katara was getting ready for bed she watched him for a few minutes, she could tell he was tence, stressed out. She walked around him with a glass of water and began to work at his scar, where his stress always pooled, she didn't say a word and neither did he. He melted like butter in her hands as she began to massage the area around the scar, she worked his back then moved to his neck and shoulders. All tention went away as she rubbed his bare muscular back.
She couldn't help herself, she leaned over and kissed his neck. he rewarded her with a low growl. Pleased with his reaction she leaned over and bit him where his neck and shoulder met. He growled again, this time a bit louder. She contenuied to massage as she bit and sucked at his neck, she kissed her way to just below his ear.
That was it, he couldn't take any more; he turned and pulled her down into his lap and began to kiss her passionately.
Now that you are at the bottom of the page, please take just a few seconds to leave me a review!
