Disclaimer: I have only one thing to say: I do not own Avatar or SeethingxShadow's story, The Future of the Past. I hope you don't mind me mentioning it in here!

Oh, the girl in this story can see memories. Either with them in her side-vision, or full on in her face, or in her mind. If she comes in contact with anyone, she will go blind, even with the slightest touch. Also, if people get within a 5 foot diameter of her, she'll be able to see their memories, both good and bad. It the memories are strong enough, then she can go blind that way or she'll be knocked out. The way she goes blind is because her pupils get really big, and she loses her sight that way, but it only lasts fora hour. There is another description later on in the chapter.

And now to chapter 1...

Chapter 1- Falling

"Hey Day," Madison called to me as I trudged past her house as she was coming out of its confines. I half-smiled, but kept walking, not wanting her to come too close. I walked even faster as she hurried to catch up. "Wait!" she called, running while throwing her backpack on her shoulder and trying to get the books in her arms straightened.

I looked at the ground while she came closer to me. "Just stay 5 feet from me, and we'll do good." I said, eyeing her out of the corner of my eyes. She put her free hand on her hip.

"Miss Grouchy."

"No, Miss Grouchy-Who-Doesn't-Want-To-Have-A-Bad-Day." I corrected, scooting away from her. She shrugged but we continued walking to the bus stop in the chilly October air.

We finally got there, and I shrugged off to the side of the group, not wanting to be around the group of about 10 kids. While I went to the side, and Madison went to her friend, Charlotte, a girl named Chyanne asked me, "Why do you always stay away from us?"

"I have my reasons." I answered softly as the bus pulled around the corner. When we climbed on, I got my usual seat with Madison, dreading it, but sat there anyway, and the bus pulled away from the corner. I began to see her when she was little, playing with her dad, off to the side of the bus, but no one else could. Since it was a little hazy, I could easily ignore it.

"Hi, Day!" Robert called from the back of the bus.

"Hello Robert." I said sarcastically while putting on a fake smile. "How was your weekend?" I knew he was going to ask me it anyway, might as well get it over with.

"Pretty good. I got 3rd in the UIL competition!" he said excitedly.

"That's great Robert," I kept up the sarcasm, hoping he'd leave me alone soon. But he still didn't get the hint.

"What'd you do?" he asked, trying desperately to keep up the unwanted conversation.

"I stayed in my room, wrote stories, and posted them on Fan Fiction. Oh, and I ate, slept, and used the restroom!" Some kids laughed, and Robert quickly dropped the conversation. I turned back around and Madison turned to me.

"Hey, can't you be nicer? We both know he likes you tons. Do you have any other mood besides sarcastic?" She whipped these words out at me.

"Sorry, no pity for him, and I do have other moods. I have sad, lonely, depressed, and angry; which I am feeling right now." I stared her straight in the eye, and she turned away from me.

I couldn't really consider Madison my friend. I actually hated the girl, but no matter what I did, she, like Robert, wouldn't let their grip on me loosen. She had black hair down to her shoulders, with amber eyes, and she was built like a dancer for the Dance team at my school, which she was a part of. Robert had curly-ish brown hair, with grey eyes, and he was about medium height.

My name was Day Thibodaux, and I had long brown hair that reached a little ways past my shoulders which I let fall in my face most of the time. I never wore it up; it was just too happy for me. I was relatively tall, and today, I was wearing my long-sleeve black turtleneck shirt that said, "BOO!" on it with pumpkins and ghosts on it, with a long green and black skirt with my beadedsandals, and black gloves, but I wasn't a punk or Goth. I just liked to be left alone.

As we passed the lawn of a house on the street, I saw these people on the grass, moving around. They were really hazy, so I could tell that they were a memory of something that happened long ago. There was even a bison behind them, and a boy about my age was yelling at a girl about my sister's age: 13 or 14. I blinked, and they were gone. I decided not to pay any attention to it though, because we'd arrived at school, the place where they torture you and turn our pure minds into evil-thinking minds.

That entire day was a waste of my time and energy. I got a test back in Algebra that I failed, I got in a fight with my teacher that landed me into detention, and because of d-hall, I got to walk, the 20 minute ride to school, home.

I went straight to my room when I got back, and collapsed on my bed where my kitten, Casey, came up and started licking me with her tongue. She was the only thing keeping me alive. Otherwise I'd probably have killed myself by now. "Hey Ca-sters," I sighed, saying her nickname and scratching her on her nose. "Come on, let's see if SeethingxShadows has updated her story yet." I got up slowly from my bed, bringing Casey with me and headed over to my computer in the corner of the room and turned it on.

I typed in fanfictiondotnetand searched the "Just In" section for the updates that I was looking for. I began reading her first story, The Future of the Past, but in the middle of it, some sort of swirling vortex thingy appeared in the middle of my screen. I leaned in close to see what it was and got sucked right through the hole! I was falling, falling, falling, until I hit solid ground with a THUMP, Casey still in my arms.

I got up and dusted myself off with the hand not holding Casey. "Meow." She said. I looked up to find carts being pulled by a different kind of animal, and people wearing clothing much different from mine as well.

"Meow is right." I said as I looked around and came out fromthe area where I landed (I had landed right behind a building). I was curiously walking between the stalls, being called out to by the vendors offering me to buy something from them. I turned them down each time.

Then, a man ran into me. "Oh no!" I cried as I slowly but quickly went blind. "Crap!" and I began walking very slowly around until Casey jumped out of my arms. "Casey! Come back!" I yelled as I fumbled my way around in the dark. Then I bumped into someone again. "Oh, I am so sorry! I lost my cat, and I can't see…I hope you'll forgive me." I said, hoping this person wasn't the enemy.

"Are you alright?" a voice came to me. It sounded like a boy's. "Your pupils are huge!"

"Yes, are you?" I asked irritated.

"Yes. Hey Katara, bring that animal here!" Katara? I thought, and then it hit me.

"Are you Avatar Aang?" I asked, hopefully.

"Yes…" he said as another voice joined the conversation.

"Here you go Aang!" this one was a girl's and none other than…

"Katara, I think the animal belongs to this girl." Aang said to Katara.

"Look, my name's Day Thibodaux, and I'm temporarily blind at the moment, so if you'd help me to the nearest place where I can rest until this stops I'd be very grateful." I said, hoping they'd do it.

"Sure." Aang said.

Katara was smiling in her voice. "You can stay with us!"

"Thank you!" I said relieved, and Katara put Casey into my arms, and then led me away from the area where we'd been standing. I was suddenly bombarded with memories, but I didn't say anything. Right now, I needed safety.

It felt like forever before we stopped, and then Katara sat me down on a log (I felt it to see what it was). "Hey guys! What took so long?" a male voice sounded through my ears. Since he was with the Avatar and Katara, then he must be Sokka. I thought.

"We found someone." Aang replied.

"Who are you!" Sokka replied. I heard a rush of metal, and could tell that he drew out his club.

"Look! I'm not a Fire Bender if that's what you're thinking!" I said, hoping he wouldn't strike.

"Yea right! What's your name?"

"Sokka, please!" Katara tried.

"No Katara. She could be dangerous!"

"Yea! How dangerous could a blind girl be?" I said sarcastically, hoping he'd catch my drift. It'd been about an hour since the dude in the marketran into me, and I was beginning to see again. Although, Katara's memories still haunted my mind. "Hey Katara? If you would, could you move away from me about 5 feet or so?" She looked at me puzzled, then moved. It was like a veil had been lifted from my eyes. I sighed a relieved sigh. "Thanks."

"Uh, no problem?" she said uncertainly.

"Look, the reason I asked was that if people are 5 feet or closer to me, then I get to see their memories, and sometimes if they're strong enough I go blind, I fall unconscious, or if I touch anyone, I go blind. So that's the only reason I asked." She nodded as if she understood.

The gang let me stay that night, and by morning I was the first up. I went to the stream that Katara had showed me last night, to wash my face, Casey following close behind on my heels. On my way back though, a shadow caught my attention, so I went to look and see what it was, Casey still following me.

"Herlo?" I called through the thick trees and underbrush. The shadow moved again. "Herlo?" I called again and again, following the shadow until I reached a clearing. Then I laid my eyes on the last person I wanted to see once I rounded that last tree: Prince Zuko.

I screamed, but Zuko was quick to comply, and soon had his hand clamped over my mouth, which meant that memories flooded into my sight and filled my head. I soon fell unconscious with Casey meowing right under me as I stood there with his hand against my mouth.

I hope you'll review! Please review. I COMMAND YOU TO REVIEW! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
