Chapter 4
Slowly, Katara lifted her heavy eyelids. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the dim light, but when they did, she wanted to fall back into unconsciousness. The sparse light came from a small barred window on the stone wall opposite her(if about four feet from her could be considered opposite). Her arms were cuffed together and chained above her head so high that her toes just barely danced on the floor. Katara wriggled in her chains, trying to loosen them. She cringed in frustration and exhaled loudly.
"Welcome back," Zuko said sincerely, looking across the cell at her.
Katara turned her head quickly away and scowled silently. Her arms ached as she tried,and failed, to free herself again.
"Whats wrong with you?" Zuko asked annoyed.
Katara's eyes widened in shock and instantaneously narrowed in hatred. "This is your fault!" She yelled. "You burned me!" Her blue eyes bore holes into his gold ones. He looked away embarrassed and regretful. "I'll NEVER forgive you for this!" The waterbender carried on, trying to point to the small, swirling scar on her left cheek. The water-healing had gotten rid of most of it, but there was still about an inch of scarred flesh burned into her face. "How could you! How dare you! You had no right to burn me! Just because you were ang-"
There was a loud thump on the outside of the cell. "Quiet down in there!" A voice yelled angrily.
"We're almost at Ti Kao." Another voice chimed in. "We'll be rid of them soon enough."
Inside the cell Katara whispered, "Thanks a lot, jerk."
