Lost

Deep connections

I sit in the living room and all of the lights are out except for a few lit candles. I take deep breaths. I close my eyes and I find myself in a forest. 

I call out for my brother. Zuko! Zuko answer me!
Zuko suddenly appears. His eyes widen when he sees his sister. Kani! It's been years! They run to each other and then remember that they can't embrace. Zuko sighs. Where are you I've looked everywhere. What of the avatar? I've only found a monk. But he's not the avatar. I look away. Kani? Zhao found me. What?! Farther he sent me to this other world. It's so different. I...I need to tell you something. What? You can tell me anything. I...I don't know how you'll take the information. Kani I owe you my life. You know you can tell me anything. Zuko i...I'm the avatar. At least I think I am. What?! Zuko says. How is that possible? The air water and earth avatar were all killed before you were born he whispers. His eyes become worried. Zuko listen to me. I- some ones coming he says. I love you he says softly I want you to know I love you he says. Zuko...he disappears and the colors begin to swirl before another man is in front of me. He smiles. Hello Kani do you know who I am? I study him ...oh! My uncle showed me a picture of you once you're ...avatar Roku! He smiles. Yes. He says. Walk with me. I nod and follow him down the path. Are you alright? He says softly. I..I don't know. I..I grew up being told the avatar is the enemy but I never thought my people would - I cover my face and he says the world is spiraling it has never been this unbalanced. Which is why the spirit world has allowed to allow the last ...avatar old enough to help you back into the physical world but only as an airbender. The monk! He smiles. Yes. Your brother has already found him. It started off rough but Aang slowly gained his trust but the other two will be more difficult. Why? They're from the water tribe he says. A dragon flies over to them and my eyes widen. A dragon! Roku smiles. This is fang. He is my spirit animal. I've never been allowed to have a pet. Roku puts a hand on my shoulder. Kani. I look up at him. You must allow yourself to be captured. It is the only way you will return to this world. Zhao and his men will return tonight. They no longer have interest in anyone but you. When you get there you must wait for the right moment to escape. They won't take you to the boiling rock they'll most likely take you to one of the fortresses. Thank you I whisper. You must return to the physical world your new friends worry. Avatar Roku- the spirit world fades away and I open my eyes slowly

Whoa! She's awake! Kid? I stand up slowly and Shawn says your eyes were glowing. I go and look outside the window. Then I turn back to him. It's just my dad, Gus and I lassie and Juliet left a few hours ago. Oh ok. Henry comes in with bags of something and he says ok I've got - his eyes widen when he sees me. He grins. You're awake. Gus comes in and he says I didn't find anything about - she's awake! She's awake! I turn from them and look out the window. Then I take a deep breath and I bow to them. Thank you it's been an honor to meet you but I must go now Zhao and the others should not bother you anymore. I turn and head for the door. Wait. Henry says. I turn. Won't they ask where you've gone? You can't answer that if you don't know. But I'm not going anywhere i...I'm just going for walk to wait. You're letting
them capture you he says. I have to. But...Shawn sighs. Ok kid. He comes over to me and gives me a bear hug. I...I'm going to go now. Wait. Henry hands me a bag. Take it. It's your favorite. I bow to him again and he nods and then I leave through the door.
