Chapter Two: The Chase
Before you slip into unconsciousness, you hit the ground, opening you wound and preventing you from going into the peacefulness of unconsciousness. Although you would rather be unconscious, you standup shakily, not bothering to check your surroundings, and run/limp in the direction you were thrown from. Through the black spots covering your vision you see a portal with the man on the other side...
At the sight of him you light your hand on fire, ready to attempt an attack.
Right as you reach the portal, he laughs as the portal starts to close. "Ta-Ta, Avatar," he says as the portal closes off. You let out a frustrated groan as you swing you flaming-fist at the space where the portal once was.
"Did he just say avatar?" You hear a voice behind you ask. You turn around to see a group of people. The ones at the front stood out the most: A boy and a girl dressed in blue, probably related, a short, bare-foot girl with bangs covering her eyes, a twelve year old boy with arrows on his head and hands, and a boy around 17 with a burn mark on his right eye.
Without thinking twice you start running. "Wait!" you hear them call out to you.
As you run you try to take in your surroundings through your darkening vision. You're in some sort of ruins in the side of a canyon. Eventually you come to the edge of the cliff, causing you to stop and think of an escape plan. You glance behind you and see the people are still gaining on you, calling out for you to stop.
Giving yourself an air boost, you jump across. You make the ground come up to make some small landing platforms, just far enough apart so that the average person can't jump from rock to rock without help. Every time you make the ground move, you loose energy. As you reach the other side of the canyon, you take the remaining energy you have to boost your self to the wall.
You land on a ledge just wide enough for your feet. With your left hand you try to get a grip on the wall and with your right you try to stop the blood flow coming from your side. As you struggle to catch your breath, you notice the 'ground' has started crumbling below your feet. You inch your body closer to the wall.
A ringing in your ears that you didn't notice fades away, allowing you to hear one word:
"Stop!" The word echoes in your ears. How many times have you heard that word? 'Stop, (Y/N), you'll burn the market down! Stop, you'll hurt yourself. Stop her! Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop! Stop!! STOP!! '
Your thoughts are interrupted by a second voice, "Please, wait," it says. You open your eyes and turn your head to the left. There's no way your going to let them see your scar. You see the boy with the arrows and the girl in the blue. They are on a giant flying mammal with arrows similar to the boy's. "Your hurt," the girl says, more to her self than to you, "Let us help you." You nod your head in agreement and go with them, considering your other option was plummet to your death.
The boy sits at the front of the saddle while the girl helps you in. She sits next to you and opens her water pouch. She makes the water float out of the pouch and on to her hands and if you weren't so exhausted you would have freaked out instead of your look of shock making an appearance.
She looks at you, "Haven't you ever seen water bending before?" You shake your head no, not trusting your voice. She places the water on your neck. You feel the wound disappear. You want to ask how she did that but you to exhausted to do much of anything. "Your lucky that cut wasn't to deep. It could have done some serious damage," she says. "Thank you," you whisper.
"I'm Katara, by the way."
