(Y/n) POV

I saw Aang's eyes darken, "How could you let them take Appa?! ‌ Why didn't you stop them‌?!"

"I couldn't! The library was sinking! You guys were still inside and-"

"You could've come to get us. I could've saved him!" He cut Toph off.

"Hey!" I yelled, "Aang you need to calm down"

"I can hardly feel any vibrations out here. The sandbenders snuck up on me and there wasn't time for–"

"You just didn't care! You never liked Appa! You wanted him gone!" He continued to yell.

"Aang stop!" I yelled.

"Aang, please. You know Toph did all she could. She saved our lives" Katara told him.

Sokka sighed, "Who's going to save our lives now? We'll never make it out of here"

"That's all any of you guys care about, yourselves! You don't care whether Appa is okay or not!" Aang yelled at us.

"We're all concerned, but we can't afford to be fighting now" Katara told us.

Aang glared at the sky, "I'm going after Appa"

"Aang no!" I yelled but he didn't listen. I screamed in anger, "AANG!"

Katara sighed, "We'd better start walking. We're the only people who know about the solar eclipse. We have to get that information to Ba Sing Se"

I should be happy about going to a place I've wanted to for years... but Aang just ruined it.

"You think if we dig out the giant owl, he'll give us a ride?" Sokka sarcastically asked.

——

We've been walking for at least six hours, trying to find some civilization. We were also very dehydrated due to the heat blazing into our skin.

I took the back to protect everyone from behind, while Katara took the front. Sokka stopped as Toph bumped into him, "Can't you watch where you're..."

"No" she scoffed.

"Right. Sorry"

Katara sighed, "Come on guys, we've got to stick together"

"Do you mean literally, because my sweats doing that right now" I sighed.

"Same," Sokka dropped to the floor. "If I sweat anymore, I don't think sticking together will be a problem"

"Katara, can I have some more water?" Toph asked with all the strength she could.

Katara sighed, "Okay, but we've got to try to conserve it"

She then took out her water pouch and began to bend a small potion into our mouths.

As I took mine, I began to gag, "How long has that been in your pouch?!"

"We're drinking your bending water. You used this on the swamp guy! Urch!" Sokka gaged as well.

"It does taste swampy" Toph shrugged.

My sister sighed, "I'm sorry, it's all we have"

Sokka gasped, "Not anymore! Look!" He pointed to a cactus.

I gasped, "I read somewhere that they store large amounts of water in them!" We both ran up to it and Sokka cut it open for us.

"Sokka, (Y/n) wait! You shouldn't be eating strange plants!" Katara warned us.
