[She hasn't been given any respite from nightmares since Aang intervened during the curse. The variety is almost impressive; the City has given her plenty of fuel over the past 10 months.
She wakes up with a choked scream. The nightmare flees to the recesses of her mind, leaving only scattered remnants of images -- hands on her body, a pair of fangs, the slice of a knife and a bone-chilling cold. She pulls her blanket tightly around her, shivering even in the warmth of her room. Trying to muster up the courage to leave her bed and sneak out to see Naga. The polar bear dog's presence doesn't keep the nightmares at bay, but her warmth at least staves off their chill.
Focus on your breathing. In. Out. In. Out. She inhales, exhales, counting each breath and hoping she didn't wake anyone with her scream.]
