He sat there waiting for her to return. It had been more than 10 minutes. She promised she'd be back in 5. Aang had a worried look on his face. Sokka knew exactly what was wrong.

"Aang don't worry she just went to go get firewood."

"I know but still… I know something happened. It doesn't take that long just to get a few logs of wood". Then they all heard a high pitched scream.

Aang got up before the other two had a chance to react. He was already half way through the forest when he saw Katara just lying there.

With blood everywhere, unconscious.

15 minutes earlier…

"Sokka where's the firewood I told you to get?" asked Katara.

"What are you talking about?" he replied. She let out a sigh

"Aang remembers, don't you?" she said angrily.

"Huh", he was siting on the ground playing with Momo.

"Boys are so.. uhh.. so.. so something!! I'll be back in 5 minutes with Firewood!" She stormed off.

Katara was gathering wood while she heard someone coming and hid behind a bush. "Do you think the avatar is near?" a fire solider asked.

"Probably", another replied. Katara was heading back to camp to warn them but then she stepped on a stick, which made a soft crack.

"What was that?" one asked. Then they caught her by the arm.

"Where do you think your going?"

"Hey isn't that the girl who travels with him?" he asked.

"I think so. Now little girl tell us where the avatar is and we won't hurt you" he said as he pulled out a sharp knife.

She replied, "Never! What happened to fire bending.. huh.. gonna hurt me with a knife!" "Why yes.. you think that's funny.. huh.. well have a taste of it." He gave her a deep cut on her wrist.

She gave a small cry of pain.

"Hey boss If we make her scream the avatar has to come running doesn't he" said a firebender.

"That's the best idea you had for a while." he agreed.

Katara thought "Whatever I do I won't scream.." They gave another cut on her arm, it wasn't as deep as she thought it'd be, but it was deep enough to make her cry, still she kept her mouth closed no matter what. Until they did this horrible thing, they took the knife and stabbed it through her right shoulder. She gave a horrible scream. Then they knocked her unconscious, and they hid behind the bushes, preparing to ambush Aang.

He came as they expected


I know what they did to Katara was really bad and all, but it's going to get worse so please no flames... This takes place in Season 2, If like please review and I'll post more...
