Toko Week Prpt 4 Family

My family. What can I say about them? I guess they love me. I mean they want to protect me from any danger. It's just that I don't need protection. I can do fine by myself. But you know if you had a blind daughter you might act just like them, so it's logical for them to worry. But that doesn't stop me from hating it. I need space. I need freedom. Not to be smothered by my prissy family who wouldn't even know a fight if it hit them in the face. Added to the fact that they send two idiots to come and kidnap me, makes me wonder how they grew up. Yeah I ran away, but it was bound to happen eventually. Especially if they couldn't see that I am strong. But I did miss them when I was traveling with the others. I mean after all they are my family. Sissy jerks, but family none-the-less.

My family. God if you can even call them that. I have one of the most dysfunctional families ever. Your's could be worse, but I'm sure is the poster child for messed up families. If you don't believe me, I'll gladly tell you how. First off my father hates me. I don't really understand why he does, but trust me. He does. My scar is a prove fact. Next is my darling sister who just happened to lose her mind. If that doesn't scream "ISSUES" then I don't know what does. My mother was normal. She loved me and was there for me. Not always for Azula, but that's was her own fault. But I guess having one normal family member isn't allowed. Something happened and she left. My uncle is the closest person to me now. And although I don't always show my appreciation, I know I would be lost without him. I'm sure Uncle would feel the same way about me.

The group I was in. Aang, Katara and Sokka. We were like a family, not counting the fact that Sokka and Katara are real siblings. We didn't have anyone else when we were trying to help Aang save the world, so we had to rely on eachother. I know I found it hard at first, mainly because I was use to being by myself. But other time I came to respect my fellow companions. Especially Katara. I may have acted like I hated her, but Katara was the mother I've always wanted. She didn't care if I was blind. I was an equal person to her. We were a family in our own way and it was fun while it lasted.

Back to my Uncle. When I first began my long quest for the Avatar, he was the one who came with me. I didn't like this idea at first. I didn't know my Uncle all too well before then. He did look after me when I was young, but I feel this is only because my own father wasn't. But over time while we searched together, we did grow close. Uncle soon became the only one who could deal with my temper and I looked to him for advice. I really look up to him as a person. He changed after the lost of his son. My cousin Lu Ten, who I didn't know that well either. What really makes me sad is that Uncle began to look after me like I was his own son. I had a family with him.

After the war ended, I had to head home. Back to the family I ran away from. I didn't know what to expect, but I'm glad that I decided to return. I'm hoping they begin to trust me and let me have more freedom. In my heart, I feel empty at times. I guess I have two families now. I found something different with my friends. Something that I enjoy. I need both of them to complete me, not that I would ever admit to that. But I have a feeling they already know.

The war is over and so much of my family is gone. My sister is insane and my father is in jail. But I still have my Uncle and my mother. I also have Aang and his friends, along with Mai. We make our own family. It's not exactly a normal one, but I never had one in the first place.

And someday I hope to have my own family.
