Chapter 3
Dreams
She walked quietly in fear, fear of the eerie silence that surrounded her. There was no light in the meadow where she stood, there was a breeze but the flowers did not sway and the woods behind her were noiseless.
“Katara” She heard a breathless whisper of a male voice call her name. She turned even though she was afraid but the fear instantly melted when she saw Bato standing a few feet away with a little girl in his arms. They were smiling in a way that she could not understand.
The meadow became bright and sunny, the flowers now swayed with the wind and she heard the woods come to life with the sounds of nature, a house appeared it was quaint and modes but serene.
Nudge, nudge what was that feeling in her lower abdomen? She put her hands over her stomach.
“Look daddy the new baby must be kicking mommy again.”
Katara felt confused baby, Bato, Little girl? What the heck was going on?
Just then Bato walked over to her and put a strong hand over her stomach never breaking eye contact, then he slowly shifted his hand up to her back, and to the back of her head pulling her into the softest and sweetest kiss she would ever know. When he broke away the child in his arms leaned over and hugged her tightly.
Katara eyes fluttered open, what the hell kind of dream was that! Dreaming about Bato brought and having children with him was odd. She concluded it must have been brought on by the excitement of leaving. She rolled onto her back and stared up at her tent the light was seeping through time to get up.
Katara quickly rose from her mat and headed towards a medium size chest which was made of white wood and an intricate design of the moon casting light over a midnight blue ocean. This chest belonged to her mother; it was a present her father gave her mother during the first year of marriage.
She opened it and brushed her fingers across her mother’s name that was carved in the upper right hand corner. I love you mom she thought to herself, then she began to pick out her clothes for today. Nothing fancy since she would be leaving in a few days.
Once she gathered all her clothes she placed them on her mat so they would not be wrinkled by the time she came back, the she grabbed her robe and slowly opened the tent flap and peeked outside. It was early morning but no so early some of the tribe members would be up by now. I better hurry up if I want a bath alone. Hurriedly she used her bending to pull her towards water.
Soon she found a spring, the water was clear with a dark sandy bottom and little tiny fish the color of dark brown with white specks swam along the sides. She disrobed and slowly eased herself into the water; she washed vigorously then dove under the surface for a rinse.
When she emerged she saw Amerione standing near the edge, she didn’t feel threatened or embarrassed. She had bathed with her and Tam numerous times.
“Hello there” said Amerione
“Good Morning”
“May I join you?”
“Sure, but I was just leaving I have a lot to do today.”
“That’s ok I won’t be long I have a meeting with Bato in a few short hours.” She said disrobing and then merging into the water.
“Oh are you two friends?”
“Yes, he’s a very nice man and I like him a lot.”
“Just friends or something more” Katara said perking up at the thought of her best friend in love.
“No I like Bato but there is another.”
“Bato is a good man and he deserves to be happy, I hope he finds a wife.”
Katara couldn’t help but feel a little defensive, Bato was certainly husband and father material as well as honorable and handsome and a great friend. Who could possibly be better than him?
“He will” Amerione said eyeing Katara strangely
Meanwhile…
Last night had gone perfectly Katara had accepted; now all he needed to do was pack and map out a few routes. He began to think about Katara, she was young, intelligent, beautiful, and a bender. And he was just an old warrior with two failed attempts at marriage. Would she see me differently than Lani or Amerione? Bato thought to himself.
Seeing the sunlight seep through his tent he pushed aside his thoughts. He better get up, there was a lot to be done and he had an early morning meeting with Amerione. Grabbing his robe he headed towards a spring he found earlier in this week. As he approached he heard laughing and talking, who else sought to bathe in the same spring he had chosen? He thought to himself he wasn’t about to turn back because he was almost there.
Nimbly he emerged from the bushes but surprise and embarrassment stopped him in his tracks. He saw two women; on the right Katara and the left Amerione. Katara reached over to wash Amerione back then her friend returned the favor. The two women were laughing amicably. Bato wondered if Amerione preferred the company of women. Maybe that’s why the marriage proposal failed and what if Katara felt the same way.
Oh gods help me, would he ever get a wife? To avoid the embarrassment of being caught he slowly retreated back into the bushes but failed as his foot landed on a twig with a loud snap. The two women were alerted immediately of his presence. Great now there going to think of me as a perverted old man how am I going to get out of this on. He thought turning to the women he said.
“Hello ladies, I am sorry for intruding I didn’t think anyone would be here, I wanted to bathe in this spring but when I saw it was already occupied I decided to leave.”
His face and voice conveyed only truth and concern. Katara shook her shock and embarrassment away, she knew him to be a man of truth and honor.
“We were just leaving anyway, if you would please give us a moment to make ourselves decent it would be greatly appreciated.” Said Katara
Upon hearing this Amerione broke herself out of the same state Katara had just been in.
“Of course let me know when you’re robbed.” Bato said and retreated into the bushes.
Once he was gone both women quickly rose from the spring and made haste
“We are decent.” Amerione called out
By the time he broke through the bushes the women had gone. He wondered if he should confront the women about his suspicions, but his good sense told him that the two women were just good friends then he readied himself for his bath.
On the walk back to their tents both women were quiet, their thoughts dwelt on Bato’s surprise interuption. Katara glanced at Amerione who seemed to be deep in thought.
“Are you alright?” said katara
“Yes I was thinking about someone.”
“Katara! I’ve been looking all over for you.”
