Planning
When Katara woke up she was in a cell. Her wrists were chained to the wall, and her head hurt. A lot. The walls were plain, they were metal so she guessed she was on a boat. There were three walls, they were just metal and there was one that was made of bars, the bars weren't far from each other. She guessed there was just enough room for her to stick her arm in between them. The room itself wasn't big. On the wall opposite to the bars there was a small bed, that meant they would let her out of the chains at night maybe. But as she sat by the wall all there was to look at was a wall, bars and a bed. She was bored, very bored. And even though she wouldn't tell anyone here, she was afraid.
Mai knew about the girl in the cell. She wanted to know what was so special about her. She knew the girl wasn't just any girl Zuko decided he wanted. She knew there was something about her.
People seemed to think Mai was a heartless witch, but she wasn't. She couldn't stop thinking about the girl.
So she went down to the cells to see the girl. When she got there she saw the girl hanging from chains. When she closed the door the girl looked up. She had blue eyes, these blue eyes told her much about what the girl felt.
Fear, loss, sadness and for some reason guilt.
She saw the keys and walked down the small corridor to the girl's cell. The girl was afraid of her. Maybe Azula had been here before her, this girl was brave. But Azula was in a bad mood. Azula's bad moods could scare anyone.
She knelt down in front of her and unlocked the chains. The girl was cold, very cold. When she got up again the girl followed.
"I'm sorry but I can only let the chains go, I can't let you out." She explained. The girl's shock showed on her face.
"You thought i was taking you to Azula weren't you." The girl nodded at this.
"I'm not evil, I hate seeing people getting hurt." She didn't expect the girl to answer back, prisoners were never talkers.
"Why are you here then?" the girl's voice held curiosity, and the question got her thinking.
"Thank you for helping me, you're very nice." Mai loved to hear this, she had never heard anyone call her nice before.
"My name is Mai, what's yours?" this question caught her by surprise.
"My name is Katara, nice to meet you Mai." Mai bowed to Katara, she was shocked but she returned the bow.
"I have to go but I'll be back."
"Promise?" Mai didn't understand she wanted a cold heartless witch and this girl wanted her around.
"I promise"
And with that Mai walked out of the cells and put on the mask people saw every day, the mask nobody could see through.
A bit short maybe, and not the best one, but it's the best I can do with all that's going on, i have to do course work for my gcse so maybe you won't hear from me for a couple of days.
