Sokka started to wake up. The first thing he noticed was the cold. The second was how bad his head hurt. He opened his eyes and looked around the small room. From the looks it was a cell, he got up and walked over to the small window. Bars were blocking it off, even though there was no way he could fit through it. He looked out and saw water so he concluded that they were on a ship. He walked over and sat on the metal bed.

"Man this sucks." He said to himself. He looked around and noticed that his sword, boomerang, and bag were missing. "That doesn't help at all."

"What's taking him so long?!" Toph yelled to nobody.

"I wonder were he would be." Katara said looking at the sky. He should've been back by now.

"Should we go look for him?" Aang asked his friends with concern.

"Yea." They both agreed. They got to the town and saw a lot of people panicing.

"What's all the commotion?" Toph asked a woman walking by.

"The Fire Nation found us. They came and took somebody. A boy of the Water Tribe." She replied worried.

"Sokka." The three friends said in unison scared looks on their faces.

Sokka sat in the cell for what seemed like hours, hell it probably was hours. He finally heard somebody comming. Suddenly a bowl slid under the door. It looked like really stale soup, no a mix of stale soups.

"Here's your dinner," The guard said. "eat up."

Sokka looked at the bowl before replying. "Can I get something more....edible?"

"Dirty peasent." Was all the guard said before leaving. Sokka had an annoyed look on his face. He bent down and picked the bowl up, he slowly took a bite, but spit it out instantly. He sighed and hoped he would wake up from this nightmare.

The next mourning he woke up and sighed realizing that it wasn't just a bad dream. The nightmare was real. He was in his small cell, and he was hungry, his stomach kept growling. He wasn't used to going this long without food. He sighed and looked out of the window before hearing somebody comming. His cell door opened and two guards grabbed him.

"What are you doing?!" Sokka asked franticly.

"It's time for the prisoners to go outside." One guard replied.

"Oh, really? then you don't need to pull me there, I'll follow." He said calmer this time.

"How do we know you won't try to escape?" The other guard replied.

"I have no weapons and you two are probably strong benders, or have weapons. Also we're in the middle of the ocean. Where would I go?" Sokka said. He had already thought about that. The guards looked at eachother then let go of him. He willingly followed them outside. He walked out onto the huge deck. As soon as he got outside he noticed how warm it was and he assumed they were getting close to the Fire Nation. He also noticed how many guards there were out here, and he saw that some people's hands were cuffed, probably benders. He walked around for a little bit before finding somebody about his age. The young man was a little bit taller than Sokka, he was pale, had brown hair and green eyes. He was pretty muscular, too. Sokka assumed he was from the Earth Kingdom.

"Hey." Sokka said casually.

"Hello." He replied.

"My name's Sokka." He said holding his hand out.

"I'm Arata." He said gladly taking his hand and shaking it. Suddenly they heard guards yelling. Sokka turned around to see somebody about to jump off the railing of the ship.

He ran over and grabbed the guys hand.

"What are you doing?! I'm going to escape!" The man yelled.

"You idiot! We're in the front of the ship. If you jump you'll get sucked under and die!" Sokka yelled pulling him up. Suddenly guards were all around them. Two guards grabbed his arms and cuffed his hands.

"You should thank this boy for saving your life. Also, we can't have any people getting off the ship. That would give us a bad reputition." One guard said.

"You know the penalty for trying to escape. You will not get food for two days and not go outside for two weeks, and if you try it again then worse will happen." Another guard said as he started taking him back to his cell.

That night Sokka sat in his cell wondering if it was a good thing that he helped that guy, he might've had to go to the Fire Nation to be turtured for something and wanted to risk his life. Suddenly he heard his door open and a guard stepped in.

"Here's your reward for today." He said as he handed him a plate with a peice of meat on it. The guard left and Sokka ate his reward. Maybe it was Ok that he saved that man.
