The Winter Sostice Part 2 : Updated Version

Kya
I open my eyes to see that I'm laying on a mat in the main building of the village .I sit up quickly as sweat runs down my face.

What happened ? What was going on ?!

As I focuse more on my surroundings I realize that Sokka and Kataraare on each side of me with worried faces .Now I feel a throbbing around my forehead .I move my hand up to my head and feel a bandage in a tender area .

"Oh my goodness ! Kya , are you okay ?" Katara asks.

"I don't know , what happened ?" I askfeeling dizzy .Katara and Sokka look at each other then back at me .

"Kya , you were hit by a huge piece of debris yesterday when Hei Bai was attacking," Katara answers .

"What do you mean yesterday?"I asks confused .I can't have been out for a day . Could I ?

"Kya , when I last saw you , you had just been knocked out by the debris before Hei Bai took me," Sokka explains.This couldn't be true .Wait ! Sokka was taken by the Hei Bai !

"You were taken by the Hei Bai ?!" I ask worried .

"Well long story short yes but Aang saved me",Sokka says with a half smile trying to get off the hook .I roll my eyes .Why is he always trying to get into danger?

"Good .Well I am glad you are alright but where's , Aang ?",I ask .Katara and Sokka look around but did not spot him.

"Oh no ! He's trying to leave," Katara says immediately angrily but conceded at the same time .Sokka and Katara get up and leave the building.

I have to follow them to see whats going on .I stand up shaking but walk anyway out of the building .

It's nighttime and the air's cool .I look up into the sky to see a beautiful full moon .I love when the moon is out .Its really the only time I feel strong and not weak .

I look forward to see Appa sitting down and Aang in front of him with Sokka and Katara standing off to the side quietly.I walk to them .

"Let's go ,Appa ! Come on , boy! " Aang whispers in a strained voice while pulling on Appas reins .

He won't budge.After a moment Aang steps back and gives up .Is Aang really trying to leave ? But why and where ?

"Look I'm sorry , but Katara, Kya and Sokka aren't coming to the Fire Nation with us . If they got hurt , I'd never forgive myself" , Aang says sadly with a sigh .

"I think Appa is trying to tell you something," Sokka steps up .

"Please don't go ,Aang .The world can't afford to lose you to the Fire Nation .Neither can I," Katara walks forward desperately.

"But I have to talk to Avatar Roku to find out what my vision means ! I need to get to the Fire Nation Temple before the sun sets on the solstice .Thats today ! " Aang explains airbending himself on top of Appa and trying to leave .What was going on ?

Sokka and Katara run in front of Appa trying to stop him ."We're not letting you go to the Fire Nation Aang !" Katara says determined

"At least not without your friends .We got your back," Sokka smiles.

Aang looks down at them with worry but then smiles which hopefully means he agrees .Katara and Sokka run to the side of Appa and climbs on .

Wait ! They're not leaving without me ! I ran over to the side of Appa and climb up .

"Kya , what are you doing ?" Sokka asks confused and worried.

"I'm coming with you, idiot," I answer with a roll of your eyes .
