My Thanksgiving break was awesome! But I felt bad for not writing so I had to post something.

Anyway, this does have a cliff hanger, but I'm also trying to decide what should happen...but I want to post it soon.

I curled my fists together and suddenly I stopped as the world slowly went black. I sat there and did nothing, no tears, no nothing.

"Katara..." A female voice rang out.

"Who is it?" I searched for the woman but couldn't see anyone.

"It's your mother... did you forget me?" The voice said from somewhere.

"What? Mother?" I searched frantically for her, but couldn't find the body to whom the voice belonged to.

"Don't give up, stay strong and he will come," she said.

"Who? Mother!?"

I woke up and looked around me, trying to grasp my bearings. I was still in the Fire Nation, I sighed, so it had to of been a dream. But what had she meant by he will come, or don't give up? I shivered, and I couldn't get over how real that had just felt.

My thoughts left me when the metal door slammed open. "Here," a ruff voice said and pushed a tray with food and water into the chamber. Then he slammed the door closed and was gone.

It took awhile, but I slowly sat back on my knees and then half crawled, half scooted over to the food. I didn't feel anything, which was a very strange feeling. I don't know if I could have thought anything else because my stomach was screaming hungry. And even though I was, the need for food wasn't appealing.

That dream had made me think, and I wanted to dream again. So I lowered my face and ate, because my hands couldn't support me.

——————————————————————————————————————

I was in a room, a grand room. It looked like it belonged to a noble, with all it's gold. There was someone sitting on a chair, but I didn't know who. For some reason I knew the person was crying, or at least on the inside. Then the person spoke, "Gone," and then I woke up.

I sat up and looked around again to see more food. My thoughts drifted back to the dream, as I went to eat again. Who was the person? Was it male or female? And why did they say gone?

I asked the questions to myself over and over again, not sure if I was dreaming or not. But he answered that question when the guard came through the door.

"Up, now, he's going to see you," the guard said and waited impatiently by the door.

I have to admit it was a little embarrassing to have to ask the guard for help, but that was the only way.

"I can't get up," I said.

"What do you mean you can't get up?"

"I can't use my hands, they hurt to much," I said in a calm voice.

"Fine," the guard said in a annoyed voice and picked me up by the shoulders. At least I could stand on my own two feet. I would hate to need the guards help to walk.

We left the cells and walked up into a hallway that was wide and high. "Almost there, down the hallway and then were there."

"This doesn't look like the door from before," I said meekly.

The guard took a long time to answer, "It's not...it's the Lord's personal chamber...his bedroom."

So there you go! I guess it is kind of a big cliff hanger, but I hope to update soon!
