Chap 3 Alone

Kataara went to tell Sokka and Toph what happened while Zuko took care of Aang. Aang got his own room in the cabin while Kataara and Sokka shared another, Toph slept outside in a rock tent she made, her choice of course. Kataara made Zuko sleep on the floor in the main room of the cabin he had a blanket to sleep on and a blanket to cover himself up in.

Aang of course let Zuko come sleep with him, but he always snuck back to his "bed" before anyone realized. Aang was shaking on his bed while Zuko searched his belongings for some dry clothes. "The skulls…the skulls…it was horrible." Aang continued to mutter.

Zuko got seriously worried and he stopped the clothing search and he pulled Aang against him. "Shh shh it's all over now you're safe with me." He applied heat to his hands and began rubbing Aang's back. Even his warm touch could not soothe Aang's fear, and the boy continued to shake. 'Something must have happened to him.'

"Aang tell me what happened?"

"I don't know what happened." Aang replied and he clung to Zuko fiercely. "I was taken to the spirit world I think…this spirit just appeared I felt a threat from it but my bending wouldn't work, it forced my head underwater and that's where I saw the skulls." Aang was shaking violently. "I thought I was gonna die."

"Don't say that!" Zuko snapped his heart beating rapidly at the horrible thought of Aang dying. He held the boy in his arms and tried to sooth his shaking form. "If you died I couldn't stand being without you." Zuko said and his words were true, if he lost Aang he didn't know what he would do with himself.

"Zuko…" Aang whispered and snuggled against Zuko. "Aang…" Zuko whispered and the two were about to kiss, when a knock came at the door. 'Damn!' Zuko cursed and Aang got up.

"What?" Aang said opening the door just a crack. Kataara was trying to peer into the room to see what was going on.

"Aang I think you need to rest, you've been threw a lot today. Zuko should leave you to rest." Kataara said, her voice was low and a little dark.

"I will, but Zuko is staying with me tonight." Aang said defiantly.

"But Aang…" Kataara began but Aang didn't want to hear it, like she said he had been threw a lot and all he wanted was to crawl into bed with his lover.

"I said he's staying with me, good night." Aang slammed the door and leaned back against it panting. Zuko came over and picked Aang up. He brought Aang to the bed and sat him down, Zuko stripped out of his own clothing. He got into bed with Aang and pulled him close. Aang sighed contently and let the warmth of his lover soothe him to sleep. "Zuko, please don't leave me alone…" He said sleepily before his breathing evened out.

"I promise." He kissed Aang's head.

Outside the room-

Kataara was stunned, Aang had never snapped at her before. "What's with him…?"

"Just leave him alone Princess, Twinkle Toes just needs some time." Toph said, but Kataara still didn't like it.

"With Zuko?!" She snapped and Toph just shrugged.

Outside the cabin-

The spirit rose from the lake and began to walk towards the cabin. Just as it reached the door Appa came out from the forest and roared. In seconds the spirit dispersed as water, making a puddle in front of the door. Sokka stepped out to see what was wrong with Appa. "Appa what's with all the noise?" He stepped into the puddle and looked down. "Did it rain?" Sokka said looking up to the clear sky. "Weird."

Appa was restless he his animal senses going crazy from the spirit but once it dispersed he couldn't feel it anymore, it made the beast very on edge.
