Chapter 3

I tried watching Avatar: The Legend of Korra, but it just made me sad. . . They're all dead, and Katara is going to die once Pema has her baby. That's not good!

Anyway, here~

When Katara awoke again she was being pushed off the train. Her vision was blurred and her legs stiff from her sleep but they didn't allow her a moment of peace as they walked through the walls of Ba Sing Se.

When she first came to this place she had been astound with the look, but now she just felt sorrow. She probably wouldn't see outside those walls for a long time.

The continued on their way, eventually hailing a carriage and giving them the destination they wished for.

It was a large house in the richer part of Ba Sing Se. There were a few shrugs and it was painted a brilliant gold with a maroon roof. The one thing that caught Katara's eyes, though, was the several Dah Li agents stationed around the property.

That is when it hit her. She was being sold to Long Feng! That is what they were doing to her.

Once the realisation hit her she started struggling for freedom against the two large men holding her.

She thrashed and turned and tried to run until one of the men brought his hand up and struck her face.

Katara stopped struggling almost instantaneously and brought her tied hands up to her already bruising cheek. She could feel it swelling underneath her touch.

"Now keep moving." One barked and pushed her through the door. She stared around, taking everything in.

There was a staircase right in front of her, and many pieces of art hanging near it. Next to the staircase was a small table with candles and books on it, and next to that was a door leading into what she assumed was the living room.

It looked like the foyer to a normal person instead of a criminal.

The Dah Li agents escorted them though the door by the table into the Living room and then through another room that appeared to be the study. She was turned to her left and there was Long Feng sitting at a desk.

"Was this the girl you wanted?" He asked.

"Why yes. She is one of the Avatar's friends. Hello Katara. Nice to see you again." His voice sent shivers up Katara's spine.

"Long Feng." She growled. "I thought you were in jail."

"I was thanks to you, but now I am out and working for the Fire Nation."

"What do you want with me?" She demanded.

"They didn't tell you?" Katara looked at him skeptically. "You are to be my new servant girl."

"What?" Katara tried to protest, but they ignored her.

"Alright, bring her to her new chamber." He said and waved his hand. The Dah Li agentbrought her to a small room with a bed, a dresser with a mirror on top, and a bathroom off to the side.

The door slammed shut behind her. She slowly walked to the bed and let out a sob as she took in everything that had happened, just because she wanted to be brave.

~*w*~*w*~*w*~*w*~

Team Avatar flew over the ocean in hot pursuit of Ba Sing Se. They didn't know why, but for some reason, that is where Katara was, and that is where they were going to find her.

Sokka had been a nervous wreck since they had lost her, and Aang had been no better. Toph hadn't realised before just how much these two depended on Katara being there. Sokka, because she was the one who had always been there for him, and Aang because he was just so desperately in love with her.

Suki was trying to keep their minds off of it with a game of eye spy, but being in the middle of the ocean, there wasn't exactly too much to spy besides water and the occasional bird.

Zuko on the other hand just kept himself occupied on directing Appa.

"Okay, I spy something that is blue." Suki announced.

"Water." Sokka said emotionlessly.

"Okay, I spy something that is white."

"A bird." Aang replied the same as Sokka.

"Alright, I spy something that is also-"

"Another bird?" Sokka guessed.

"Alright, there's nothing to guess out here." Suki sighed in defeat.

"No kidding." Toph agreed.

"Hey! You guys!" Zuko yelled from the front. They all turned around to see what he was yelling about. "Do you spy what I spy?" He asked.

"Not another bird!" Toph complained.

"No! It's land!" Aang cried out.

"If we keep flying we can reach it by nightfall!" Suki exclaimed.

"Then full speed ahead!" Sokka yelled and pointed towards the Earth Nation.

So, how was it?

The last part was MY personal favourite part.

But was it just me, or swas Zuko a little out of character.

If he was, sorry.

Alright, see yas in a bit.
