Chapter Four ( Katara's voice)

As soon as I got on the ship, I was immediately taken by guards. They led me down many confusing corridors that I wish I could remembered so I could get out easy. We stopped in front of a door that said private suite. The door opened suddenly to a room unlike any other. It was covered in Fire Nation symbols. There was red dragons and black scrolls with gold writing. All the walls were painted a dark ruby red. Everything was pretty to me, but I still didn't know why they brought me here. One of the guards finally spoke, " The Prince would like you to stay here until we get to Ember Island. Dresses are being sewed for you so you won't look out of place. The girls that are the age of 14 start wearing their hair up, not in braids, so that will be fixed. Also, jewelry will be sent and you must wear some to important things, such as a meeting you will have with the Prince tomorrow. He is staying in the room next to you."

They left after that, leaving me alone to think. The Prince sorted me out for some reason. Maybe to question me, or to make me his personal servant. Whatever he was going to do to me, it will be tomorrow. I better get some rest. When I turned, I saw a door leading to somewhere. It ended up being the bathroom. The tub was full and steaming. I couldn't resist. After my wonderful bath, I put on my underclothes and went to bed.

When I woke up at about 7:00 A.M, there was a knock at my door. " Breakfast," someone said. I opened the heavy iron door to find delicious food. Realizing how hungry I was, I ate it in a few seconds. Having no idea of what time the meeting was, I got dressed right away. The hair comb was covered in sapphires that were blue. Bun was the first thing that came to my mind. Twisting my hair expertly, I made it into a fancy bun. Then I went to the wardrobe. Opening one door, I saw multiple red dresses. They had gold and black designs on them. I opened the other side and there was the most beautiful blue dress I have ever seen. No other dress was comparable. I was going to wear it. The jewelry box was over flowing with blue sapphires. Gold and silver chains were heavy with them. I chose one of the more sensible necklaces. Just as I finished adjusting it, there was a knock on the door.

I opened the heavy door and saw a nice looking man with a round belly. He said, "My name is Iroh. I am the uncle of Zuko, the Prince. I was just wondering if you would like to have some tea and play Pai Cho with me." He was too polite for me to decline the offer. I nodded and followed him down the hall. All the doors still look exactly the same to me. He was just walking like he does this everyday. He does, but for how long? When we finally got there, I said sheepishly, " I've never played Pai Cho before, so I was wondering if you could teach me." Iroh smiled, laughing, and nodded. " It would be my pleasure." He taught ma and I won the first game.

" And now time for tea," he said.

" What kind," I asked.

" Ginseng," he replied.

" That's my favorite kind of tea!"

" It is mine as well."

When I turned around to get the tea, I saw how beautiful the set was. On every white cup there was a red dragon. The teapot had a giant dragon on it as well.

As soon as the teapot was empty, there was a knock on the door. " I am looking for the girl who was captured yesterday. Prince Zuko would like to meet with her now."

I said good-bye to Iroh and opened the door. Following the guard to Zuko's room, I fiddled with my necklace. When we got there, the door was slightly open. The guard knocked on the door anyway. "Come in," I heard in the same smooth voice. The guard pushed open the door, let me in, and shut the door. It was just me and Zuko in the room. " Come in... even though you already are in," Zuko said nervously. We ate for a second, then Zuko burst out, " I know this will sound cheesy, but I feel there is a connection between us that wants us to be together."

I know it was rude, but I burst out laughing. I was trying so hard to stop, but it was to ridiculous. Zuko's face got very red and scrunched up. " If you really feel like that, then you are going to be Zhao's personal servant!!!!"
