The Love Between Water and Fire
Chapter 11-Katara, Kidnapped by Admiral Zhao pt.2
Katara held Mei close to her in the dark cargo room.
"Mommy. Where are we?" asked Mei.
Katara didn't answer.
"Mommy?" asked Mei.
"It's okay Mei, there's nothing to be afraid of." said Katara.
"I'm not scared mommy, I'm just cold." said Mei.
Katara looked down at Mei and smiled.
'You're just like your father Mei.' thought Katara.
Meanwhile,
Aang and Sokka were still searching for the Fire Nation ship.
"They couldn't have gotten that far." said Sokka.
"Fire Nation ships travel faster these days. Hopefuly if there's smoke we'll be able to spot it." said Aang.
"I spot smoke!" said Sokka.
"Appa! Yip yip!" said Aang, and he stirred Appa toward the ship.
"Hopefuly I spotted the right one."said Sokka.
"I hope so too."said Aang.
Appa reached the black ship. Aang looked down below and spotted someone familiar.
"Zuko." said Aang.
Aang landed Appa on the deck of the ship.
Sokka jumped off of Appa first and came charging at Zuko with a fist.
Zuko looked at Sokka and dodged his attack.
"Well if it isn't The Avatar and his friend Sooka." said Zuko.
"It's Sokka!" said Sokka.
"Whatever." said Zuko.
"Where's Katara!" said Aang.
"What do you mean where's Katara? What happend to her?" asked Zuko.
"Don't play games with us. We know you have her!" said Sokka.
"I was just heading to the city of Bing Tian xue Di, how can I possibly have her?" asked Zuko.
"You came to-"
"How is the child?" asked Zuko staring out into the sea.
"Child? How do you know about Katara's child?" asked Sokka.
"You're the father?" asked Aang.
"I thought Katara told you." said Zuko.
"We only knew she was pregnant, but we'd never thought it would've been you." said Aang.
"So that explains the fire everytime Mei get's angry." said Sokka.
Zuko smirked. "You two are the worst ever. I thought I would count on you two to protect Katara and our child, and now she's missing."
"Hey! You're the father of her child!" said Sokka.
Zuko walked toward Sokka and held him by the collar of his shirt.
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT KATARA FROM ZHAO! IF I HADN'T LET HER GO THE DAY I SAW YOU AT DI TAN CITY, SHE WOULD'VE BEEN CAPTURED BY ZHAO AND PUT TO DEATH BY MY OWN FATHER!" yelled Zuko as he threw Sokka across the deck.
Sokka got up slowly and rubbed his head. "Ow! Okay! Sorry!" said Sokka.
"I think I know who captued Katara." said Aang.
Zuko looked at Aang. "Who?"
"Zhao." said Aang.
Smoke came from Zuko's nostrils.
"Change of course! We're headed back to the Fire Nation!" ordered Zuko.
'Katara, I'll get you back, if it's the last thing I'll do.'
Meanwhile,
Katara found some matches and a small candle inside the bag she packed, she lit it up and let some candle wax drip to the floor so she could stick it on the floor.
"Don't touch the flame Mei." said Katara.
Katara found some crackers for them to eat, she split it in half and gave the other piece to Mei.
Just then, the ship started to stop.
A soldier walked down into the cargo room holding a laturn.
Katara blew out the candle and held Mei tightly.
"Time to get up. We've arrived at the Fire Nation." said the soldier as he unlocked the cage.
Katara got up and walked out.
"Go up onto the deck, Fire Lord Zhao is waiting for you." said the soldier.
Katara carried Mei in her arms, she walked out onto the ship and found the entrance to the deck.
"Welcome to the Fire Nation." said Zhao as he placed a had upon Katara's cheek.
Katara backed away.
Zhao gave her a smirk. "If you want to see Zuko again, you have to make a deal with me."
"What deal?" asked Katara.
"You'll see." said Zhao.
