Sweat dripped off my forehead as I kneeled over. Something came rushing up my throat, vomit burned my throat. I rushed outside, used my earth bending to create a hole for me to vomit in there, but what came out scared me. Blood, nothing but blood. I could hear someone yelling out my name but I ignored it. I quickly covered the hole again before making my way to the tent. I found Aang, my big brother, seated on the bed I sat on moments ago.
“How do you feel?” Was the first thing that came out his mouth. I really don't know if I'm fine. His friend poisoned me, thinking I was a threat to their tribe and to tell the truth, I could've hurt them whilst in the Avatar state.
“I'm good Aang.” I state, although I stated a lie. Aang looked at me real funny before beaming.
“That's wonderful because I want you to join Katara, Sokka and I as we voyage across the world so that we can find master benders to teach us bending.” My heart got crushed into a million pieces, I just lied to this pure person. “What element can you bend so far?”
My voice wanted to disappear, but managed not to. “Air, water and earth. Still need to log into fire, although I can't find anyone who can bend fire.” Aang beamed again, this time, tears lined up. “I lied and I'm sorry! I'm not okay! I feel like I'm dying because of the poison and because they hate me. Sokka hates me, I can see it in his eyes.”
“Sokka doesn't hate you Yana. He's just being over–protective over Katara. It's not everyday a girl drops from the sky, and claims to be the Avatar while there is one.”
“But I can bend three elements so far!” Why don't they believe me? “You out of all people should believe me Aang! You're my brother!”
“I'm not saying I don't believe you Yana. I do believe you.” Aang huffed out. I hung my head in disappointment, how could I ever be angry at my only brother?
“Yes.” I said all of a sudden, startling Aang a little. He looked at me real funny again. “I'll join your voyage.”
“Awesome! Our first stop is the North Pole!”
“Yeah, awesome.” I sighed, suddenly rembering why I was banned from the North Pole in the first place.

Sokka stared at me before grabbing Katara's hand. I looked over to Aang who was currently talking to Sokka's GranGran, even though he said Sokka is only protecting his little sister, I still think he hates me. I airbended my way unto Appa and sat down far from Sokka and Katara. They looked at me real funny before going back to their conversation. Aang finally took the last bag of food GranGran gave us and said his goodbyes. He jumped unto Appa's neck.
“Appa! Yip yip!” Appa went soaring into the sky. Aang turned to look at us and beamed. I pulled my knees closer to my body as sleep wanted to take over. Cough, blood. Cough cough, even more blood. “Yana? Are you okay?”
“Don't worry about me, I'm fine.” I wiped the remaining blood off my lips. Sokka's eyes met mine, for a moment, actual sympathy swam in his eyes before they hardened again.
What have I done to this boy?
