DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN AVATAR: THE LAST AIR BENDER OR ANY OF THE CHARACTORS. (DON'T SUE)
Lying there she looks up at the sky. It is bright due t the full moon and the millions of tiny stars. The only sounds that could be heard were the intakes and exhales of breathe from the giant flying bison.
"What's wrong Katara?" questions Aang.
" Nothing. I just have the feeling that something is wrong." She replies.
"What is it?"
"Don't worry about it. It's nothing."
"Will you two please be quiet? I'm TRYING to sleep over here." interrupts Sokka.
"Sorry." They both said in unison.
Katara turned to look at Aang. Aang looked back with a worried look on his face. She turned away.
Suddenly she heard something rustle in the bushes.
"What was that?" she questions.
"Yeah, I heard it to." says Aang.
"Stop worrying. It's probably just the wind or something. Now go to bed!" ordered Sokka.
Then all of a sudden a troop of fire nation warriors leaped out of the bushes. Aang shot into the air and Sokka got out his boomerang. Then Katara pulled out her bottle of water and got ready to fight.
They now had a good look at there opponents. There were 10 of them. Then all of a sudden four of them threw some sort of strong hold net over Appa. And the other 6 divided among Katara, Aang and Sokka.
Aang has no trouble with his opponents but out of the blue a tree fell on top of him. It was to late. He hadn't seen soon enough that three more warriors had burned the trunk of a large tree and pushed it in his direction.
Sokka was having trouble with the warriors attacking him because the fire benders that had defeated Aang had come to attack him too. It was not hard for seven fire bending warriors to over come a low peasant.
But as the other warriors joined Katara, they seemed to be having some difficulties. Katara was a very skilled water bender and was fighting off all of their blows. But with so many fire nation troops, she could only handle so much. And with one strike from a new warrior she was on the ground, extremely weak, but still conscious. Katara could feel the searing pain on her side. All she could do was hope that it was almost over. She waited on the ground, bracing her self for the final blow but it never came. Katara slowly opened one eye and searched for her enemy that had defeated her.
That is when she saw him. It was Prince Zuko. He stood there with a smirk on his face. She would know it was he any where because of the ugly scar on his face.
"What do you want?" exclaimed Katara.
"I'm here for the avatar. Why else?" Zuko replied.
"Well, I wouldn't look forward to it considering you'll have to catch him first."
"What do you mean you lowly peasant girl?" he scowled.
But when he turned around at where the avatar lay, there was only the tree on the ground.
"Where did the avatar go!?!" cried Zuko.
" Run Aang! Get Sokka and go!" screamed Katara
"But I can't leave you!" echoed a voice from some where in the trees
"Sokka and I promised that if something happened to one of us we would get you out of here! Now leave!" she replied
The troops searched the trees but found no sign of the avatar. Then all of a sudden Aang jumped on Appa and with one final look back flew off with Sokka through the trees. Zuko ordered his men to shoot him down. Fireballs flew everywhere trying to hit the flying bison but all of them were dodged.
Now it was the fire nation troops, Zuko, and Katara. Zuko glared at the girl. He then whispered something to the troop closest to him. The warrior then took a rope from another fire bender and tied Katara's hands behind her back.
"The avatar is bound to come for you, so I can't kill you." said Zuko. He then took the rope binding Katara and roughly yanked her up. She stumbled to her feet. Then the fire benders marched forward with Katara and Zuko in front.
After about an hour walk the group arrived at a fire nation ship. Zuko ushered Katara on board and the ship set sail.
"Who is this pretty young lady?" asked Iroh in a cheery voice.
"It is the water nation girl who is always traveling with the avatar. He had escaped but I know that he will come looking for her. I'm going to my quarters, if anyone needs me. Only come in if it is extremely important." Zuko replied with a glare. Then he thrushed Katara forward and lead her to his quarters.
Once he was in his room he called for a healer. The doctor quickly finished with Katara's burn and fled the room.
"Where is the avatar heading?" Zuko demanded once he was alone with Katara.
"I don't know." said Katara lightly.
Zuko was now very angry. He got up and tied Katara tighter to the chair opposite of him.
"I ask you one more time. Where is the avatar?" Zuko said, trying to keep his voice steady.
Katara leaned forward," I don't know."
Zuko slapped Katara right in the face. Katara looked down, fighting back tears. Her hair was messy and in her face. The prince lifted Katara's chin up and looked her in the eyes.
"I don't want to do this. Now please, just tell me where the avatar is and you wont have to go through any more." He said in his nicest voice.
Tears were now rolling down her cheeks. "No" she whispers in a hoarse voice.
Zuko slapped her again. Her head fell. Tears were dripping from her face onto the floor now. He just shook his head. Just then the door opened and Iroh came in. His eyes darted between Katara and Zuko.
"What happened in here?!?" he exclaimed and then rushed over to Katara who now had two red marks on her face.
"She wouldn't talk. I told her all she had to do was tell me where the avatar was and she refused." He replied calmly.
"That is not how you deal with finding out information especially when your are dealing with a woman no more than a girl!"
"Uncle, this is my business to deal with NOT yours!" he yelled as he stood up." Now I will kindly ask you to leave!"
With that Iroh, looking very disappointed at his nephew, left. Zuko slammed the door shut behind him. Then he once more took his seat in front of Katara. He pushed Katara's head up once again and looked her square in the eyes.
"Your stay here will be a whole lot easier if you just do as I ask."
"I'm not your slave." She replied in a weak voice.
"Don't be to sure of your self. While you're on my ship you will do what ever I tell you to do or you will be severely punished. Got it?" he said.
Pulling her head away she replied, "Got it."
"Good" he smiled smugly. He reaches out and pushes her hair behind her ear. "You're very pretty. I don't want to hurt you but I must capture the avatar to restore my honor and you are the only way I can get to him. But what you must also understand is that once I capture the avatar I will have no use for you. Since you're so pretty I might let you live and be my concubine."
Slowly Katara raised her head so that she was eye to eye with Zuko. "I will never be your concubine. Not in this lifetime or the next. Not ever!"
With that Zuko got up and looked down at her. Almost as if to hit her again. Instead he untied her from the chair and led her to a cell in the lowest part of the ship.
The cell was dark and damp. The walls were made out of a hard cold metal. Some sort of cement like substance lined the floor. The only thing that the cell contained was a pair of rusty shackles attached to the floor in the far end.
He dragged her to the far end of the cell and shackled her arms. Then he walked away slowly slamming the cell door shut behind him. And one step away from the staircase leading to the fresh, clean air of the ocean he said, "Maybe a night down here will bring you to your senses."
Cliffhanger! I don't want to go any father incase it is just a waste of time. Please review! No flames please, only constructive criticism.
