AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER

Meeting Okna

Sokka and Katara packing up camp as Aang feeds Momo and Aapa. 

"Aapa is still a little tired." Aang stated "Lets walk for a bit"

"We need to get to Omashu as quick as we can so you can learn earthbending." Sokka replies

"We wont be getting no where if Aapa is tired" Aang argued

"Aang is right." Katara agrees as she puts something on Aapas back. "It will just be a short walk, and we'll be needing some food." 

Katara empties the bag of food showing that there isn't much food left. 

"Fine" Sokka gave in "But, only because we need food." 

The group comes to a part of the forest wear they see a girl doing her stretches in the woods. Sokka is caught off guard by her beauty, but quickly shakes it off. 

"She's gorgeous. Who do you think it is?" Katara mentions

"Im not sure. But, I feel like ive seen her before."

The group watches secretly froma distance for a bit until Katara sees her Waterbend. 

"Shes a water bender!" Katara shouts with excitement, but then quickly covers her mouth.

The girl is still very focused on her water bending, but still turns towards them. 

"Its fine." She reassures "I knew you were there the whole time."

"Sorry, i just love to see other waterbenders." Katara apologizes 

"Theres no shame in that" The girl stops her water bending. "Come, you must be tired." 

Sokka pushes his sister out the way and interviens "Actually, we should be heading to-"

"Omashu? Yeah, I understand, but you should atleast have a good meal." The girl walks to a near by cave and pushes a button revealing a secret opening. "I insist" 

With big smile Sokka begins walking in "On second thought, we could use some food." 

The girl walks in behind Sokka and Katara, Aang, Aapa, and Momo follow close behind. 

The girl puts down some bread and tea as an appetizer, for them. And sits as she lets the food cook. 

"This is just an appetizer." The girl reassures

"Thank you, we really appreciate your kindness" Aang expressed.

"You don't need to thank me." She tells Aang. She turns to the rest of the group "My name is Okna." 

"Nice to meet you. Im Katara, this is Aang, and my grumpy brother Sokka." 

She turns to see Sokka with crossed arms and a mad face. "Grumpy is right" She giggles. "Here" Okna pushes the bread closer to Sokka and he takes a bite and smiles. "Food makes everything better doesn’t it."

"Are you alone here, Okna?" Katara asks

"Well, yes. My mother died very recently." Okna replies 

"Im so sorry about that. Me and Sokka also lost our mother, and haven't seen our father in years." Katara relates 

"Im sorry for your lost, I hope you get to see your father soon."  Okna replies

"Yeah, so do I." Sokka whispers to himself.

"Okna? I know this is weird, but have I seen you before?" Aang asked

"Im not sure? Thats up to you to figure out." Okna gets up and continues preparing thier meal. Sokka follows her and looks over her shoulder.
