Chapter 1: The Injured
This is the first chapter for my first ever fanfic. Please comment!
*Aang, Katara, Sokka and Momo are all sitting on Appa's back*
Katara: "Aang are you sure we should stop here? I can't see anyone...anywhere." *she looks down at the ground disapprovingly*
Aang: "Don't worry, Katara. I've been here plenty of times." *he looks at her comfortingly*
Katara: "Alright," she says halfheartedly.
*Appa lands and Sokka falls off, Aang airbends to the ground and Katara jumps and lands lightly on her feet. They all look around then decide to split up. Momo, Appa and Aang go in one direction while Sokka and Katara go in another. Sokka and Katara soon come across a huge oak tree. They both sit with their backs against the trunk. Suddenly, Sokka jumps to his feet declaring that he smells smoke. Katara peeks around the enormous trunk and finds a young man about the age of 16 with what looks like a fresh burn, on the left side of his face. He looks exhausted and seems to be in pain. He is dressed in Earth Kingdom clothing. His short, shaggy hair is sticking to the burn, so Katara leans over him to brush the hair away from it. Faster than she can react, his hand has connected with her wrist and locked around it...tight. Katara struggles but to no avail. Sokka hears her and steps around the trunk.*
Sokka (to the young man): Let go of my sister you creep!
*His eyes fly open with lightning fast at Sokka's words and Katara stops struggling, shocked by their beautiful, butterscotch color. He slowly relaxes his grip on her wrist and stands, revealing a set of broadswords hanging from a belt around his waist, leaving Katara on her knees. His silvery, blue eyes follow his every move; his eyes smile down at her but, the smile doesn't reach his mouth. He notices Sokka staring distrustfully at him and turns to stare right back, with a look that could send a saber-tooth moose-lion running. Sokka couldn't compete with that so he looked down at Katara*
Sokka (to Katara): "Are you all right?"
Katara: "Yes, I'm fine."
(Note from me: you've probably firgured out who 'the young man' is. So I'm just gonna use his name)
Zuko: "I'm sorry if I scared you. You just startled me."
*Katara stands up*
Katara (to Zuko): "It's fine. So what is your name?"
*Zuko looks down at the ground.*
Zuko: "My name is...Zuko"
Katara: "Well...Zuko, I'm Katara and this is my brother, Sokka" *points to Sokka. Zuko nods*
Katara (to Zuko): "So, what were you doing sleeping all the way out here? *looks around* Are you traveling with anyone?"
Zuko: "I was just resting before I moved on. And, yes, I'm traveling with my uncle. He's wondered off to find some water. I don't know when he'll be back."
*Just then the bushes rustle and out comes Uncle Iroh, Aang and Momo, soon followed by Appa sticking his head through. Zuko seems very surprised by the sudden appearance of his uncle and Aang, and especially Appa. Katara sees this and giggles. Iroh smiles at the sound of her laughter and looks questioningly at his nephew.*
Aang (to Iroh): "Wow, you were right!"
Iroh: "Yes, I thought that your friends would find my nephew. So, Katara, Aang has told me that you're headed to Ba Sing Se."
Katara: "Yes, we are. Would you like to travel with us?"
*Zuko looks at his uncle; his eyes pleading him to say no to her request.*
Iroh: "Of course, we would be honored to acompany you to Ba Sing Se."
*Zuko stared at Iroh with the same look he gave Sokka. iroh nods and gives him a reassuring look. Luckily, Katara did not notice this exchange; for if she had, she may have suspected that her friends and her might be in danger.*
Well, please feel free to comment. Constructive critism would be very helpful. Remember, this is my first fanfic.
