Chapter 7: Escape?

(General POV)

Katara woke the next morning from a dreamless sleep. Well, after the nightmare. Someone, probably a nurse brought in a glass of water when Katara was sleeping. Katara was a water bender, in fact, the last water bender in all of the South Pole. Katara knew that she could bend the water, but could she heal? The water tribe girl looked over her body. When she asked a nurse yesterday about what had happened, the woman told Katara that she had been unconscious for two days. That meant today was the third day, but it didn't look like it. As Katara pulled back her thin, white robe, she saw that all of the scratches bruises and burns were almost completely healed. The water bender slowly and stiffly brought herself into a sitting position with her back resting on the wall behind her small bed. The girl looked around. She was in a small room with a low grey, metal ceiling and matching metal walls. The bed Katara was in looked like some type of roll out bed. To her left was a small beside table with a golden and red lamp sitting unlit. There was a larger table pressed against the other wall (to Katara's right) Where there were bandages, water, ointments and other first-aid equipment. Directly in front of Katara's bed was the steel door with a small porthole at the top.

The room was small and dark and Katara did not like it. She could tell she was on a ship due to the non-stop rocking and from what Kenji had told her, this was her arch-enemies ship and somewhere, Aang and Sokka were on it too.

The water tribe girl slowly brought her legs to the edge of the bed and got off. There was little to no pain in Katara's body. 'Amazing!' the girl thought to herself. She bended water from all of the water sources in her small room and encased her arms with the liquid. Padding silently to the door, Katara peaked out of her porthole. Outside her door was another small hallway, but Katara could see the ocean through that porthole in the hallway, meaning that the hallway was the only thing keeping Katara from the water.

From freedom.

Today will be the day, we escape.

Today was not the day they escaped.

Katara got down one hallway before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She yelped and turned around to see two guards eyeing her with a rather amused expression. Katara looked down. When Katara pulled water from all of the liquid sources in her room, she must have pulled juice, for there was a long trail of bright purple liquid leading from Katara's room, to where she was standing. Great.

The last thing he remembered was fire. All around him. Aang remembers seeing his beautiful Katara duck and then he remembers fire. Sure he could have blocked it or ducked but he thought Katara was hit because she doubled over. She really only did that to escape the fire Aang got burned by. Aang remembered crumpling to the ground, extreme pain, and fear. Who ambushed them, what happened to Katara, or Sokka, where was Appa, what was going to happen to them? Aang's biggest question was to where the Avatar state was when he needed it… stupid ancestors… So unpredictable! But even if Aang did go into the Avatar State, who knows how long her could have fought for without hurting his friends or even himself more. It was useless, ALL useless. Stupid fire… stupid Zuko… STUPID FIRE NATION… As much as Aang chastised himself, it still didn't answer the real question. Where was he? And where were his friends?

(A/N):

Ya so like I said at the top Author's Notes, this is kinda a filler chapter. So its just telling us where everyone is at this time and what's the sitch (KP! only fans will know...) with the characterzzzz. So Katara (being a water bender / soon-to-be-healer) kind of heels quicker and she tried to escape but that only went so far as her water she was carrying driped and there was juice in her water, so it stained the floors and the guards could track her. Ya. So Aangs ok but just mad at himself. Sokka's just... Sokka. YAY! Ok byeeeee!
