A/N: This takes place between seasons 2 and 3 sorta, like Aang's already woken up, but they haven't even made it remotely close to the fire nation or anything like that.
I Can't Change the Past
Chains.
That was the first thing Katara was aware of. It was the steel bitting into her wrists that gave it away. The second fact was the darkness. It was everywhere. She was chained up and in the dark. The events at the market came back to her, and Katara focused harder on her surroundings. How long had I been out? She thought. There was no steady rocking, which meant that we weren't on a ship. So we were either still in the earth kingdom, or we were already In the fire nation. Chills ricocheted down the waterbender's back, and they had little to do with the atmosphere.
Suddenly there was a whoosh of air and then there was silence. A few minutes later a light came on. It was small and shaded, but it threw it's immediate surroundings into short relief. Katara was freezing. She realized this as her blue eyes made contact with Azula's face which was illuminated, in what was clearly a fire nation cell. A smirk crossed her face.
"You're awake. You've been out for 5 days. And you've probably guessed were in the fire nation." Another smirk. Why was I so cold? Katara thought. She then for the first time glanced down at her body. She was in her bindings and nothing else. Anger flashed through her eyes as she looked up at the evil fire nation princess.
"Return my clothing." Katara demanded, but Azula remained unphased.
"I'm not the weak peasant." The words curled maliciously from her sneer.
"You can't make me tell you anything." It wasn't a joke, and Azula knew it, but she ahd her ways. She would talk.
"Are you sure?" Azula walked in a circle around the imprisoned girl.
"Yes." It was defiant, but lacking in luster.
"Fine, then I will have to go to my first plan, you're such a pretty thing, you'll do fine." With that she left the cell, and in her wake a chill rose on Katara's spine. What was she talking about? Why would it matter if she was pretty? These and many other questions flashed through her mind. Soon enough though, the exhaustion returned and Katara slipped into sleep again.
"Wake up, my little nuisance." Azula crooned, and Katara flashed into consciousness. The events returned to her with full force, and she flipped her head up to glare at the fire prodigy.
"Do what you will, I won't talk." She hoped she didn't sound as tired as she was. Azula laughed.
"So you haven't guessed yet? I'm surprised." Katara had no clue what she was talking about.
"You see, it's not what I'm going to be doing that should concern you." A wicked gleam entered Azula's eyes, and a possibility presented itself to Katara.
"Not even you could be that cruel." Katara was disgusted. Azula had reached a new low.
"Oh, but you see, I am. I am." She sneered once again, before reaching for a key.
"Come on. It's a surprise, and we don't want to ruin it so, shhh" And with that Azula slid a gag into Katara's mouth. She unlocked the chain from the wall, and took the leads in her own hands like reigns.
"Come like a good little girl, and it won't hurt as much." Katara looked up defiantly, but relinquished, once she saw that it was pointless. There would be no winning this one. Azula had the chains, and had her gaged. She didn't even have water.
After a short walk, they came to a grand door. With one last defiant look at Azula, Katara prepared to face what was behind that door.
Azula took the latch and swung it open.
"'Evening." Azula greeted the seated figure.
"I have a little present," she continued, the figure looked up, and a look of shock crossed his face.
"Enjoy you're new master peasant, and enjoy you're new concubine brother." Azula shut the door, with a malicious laugh. Zuko looked up, it looked like he wanted to say something.
