Chapter 20:The girl

Zuko ran to Katara's room.He walked in to find Katara sitting on her bed.

She looked at him.He held up the necklace.

"MY NECKLACE!"Katara screamed.She got up and ran over to him and hugged him."Thank you sooooo much Zuko!"she said.She kissed him and she backed away.She put the necklace around her neck and smiled.

"Can we talk?"Zuko asked.

"We sure do talk a lot don't we?"Katara replied.

She saw his face."Yeah we can talk on the deck."

They walked to the deck and they started talking.

"Uncle told me something that could help us."Zuko said but he didn't get any further.

Something rose out of the water at the side of the ship.I seemed to be a girl.

"What the..."Zuko started.

She seemed to be waterbending herself up but she seemed to be unconcious.

Katara waterbended the water holding the mysterious girl in the air.She set the girl down on the ship.

She had blonde hair with dark blue streaks in it.Her nails had blue lightning on them and she was wearing a short red skirt with a white tee-shirt.

"What's wrong with her?"Zuko asked.

"There is water in her lungs and its clogging her wind pipe."Katara said as Sokka came out.

"Who is she"Sokka asked with interest for in his eyes she was quite pretty.

"I don't know but she looks about 15 maybe 16."Katara said.

She placed a hand on the girl's chest and waterbended the water from inside her lungs.

The girl sat up and started coughing.

"Are you okay?"Katara asked.

"Who are you?"Zuko asked.

"How old are you and do you have a boyfriend?"Sokka asked still interested.

"Yes I'm ok.My name is Lucia,I'm 16 and no I don't."She said getting up.

"Lucia are you a waterbender like me?"Katara asked.

"A What?"Lucia asked surpirsed.

"A waterbender.It looked like you were bending the water like this."Katara said She then Waterbended the water to splash Sokka.

"I don't think I am but I've never tried.The only thing I know is I can breath underwater."She said.

"Okay.So What are WE going to do about HER?"Zuko asked Katara pointing at Lucia.

"We are going to bring her with us to see Toph of course."She said.

"WHAT?!?!?!Katara can I talk to you?"Zuko asked grabbing her by the arm and pulling her over to the side.

"WE CAN'T KEEP HER ON THIS SHIP!"Zuko said.

"Why not?"Katara asked.

"Because have you seen her?She's trouble waiting to happen Katara."Zuko replied.

"No she's not!"

"She may be a waterbender which may mean trouble."

"Exactly that's why.I want to teach her"

"Katara"

"Zuko"

"Katara don't do this."

"Zuko.I'm gonna win."

"FINE!"Zuko said as Aang came out.

"Whoe's she?"Aang asked.

"Her name is Lucia Aang.We think she is a waterbender"Katara said.

"Really?So she doesn't know?"

"yeah she doesn't know."zuko answered"I still think 1 waterbender,the avatar, and Sokka is enough on this ship."

"Zuko?"

"Yes Katara?"

"Shut up.Lucia I think you are a waterbender.You have to learn though.But before that do you remember anything before now?"Katara asked.
