i'd like to thank my reviewers. I don't have the time to list you all, i just want to satisfy you with the next chapter, which will be longer :)
here you go: Chapter 3- The Dungeon. (DUN DUN DUN)
Katara blushed madly, although she was still choking. Aang looked away and realized what a brave thing he had done. He looked at Sokka, who was staring at him, mouth wide open, his eyes shooting glances between him and Katara.
The guards stopped abruptly before a tiny clay house, barely distinguishable form the other ones that looked just like it. the guard flat-out dropped Katara, and she fell to the ground, gasping for breath and fresh air to breath. Aang bent down and helped her up. He twisted his fingers in an elaborate way, forcing air into Katara's chest. The guard turned around and grabbed Katara, pushing her into the house. "This is where you'll be, the dungeon." he growled. Aang peered inside. There was a mat on the ground and a candle on the wall. That was it. The house could be compared to a shack.
"You boys, come with me." the guard muttered. Aang and Sokka stayed with Katara.
"Whoa...did that guy just say 'the dungeon'?" Sokka questioned
" We have to go, we'll get in trouble if we don't follow that guard. Bye, Katara..." Aang said, sadly. He didn't see the danger in this situation.
"Wait! Where will you be?" Katara replied. She was obviously scared and startled by this town.
"From the looks of it-" Aang looked back at the guard, who was climbing up a steep hill with a large castle-like building at the top, thinking that Aang and Sokka were following him. "-up that hill to the castle."
"...bye..." Katara said. She sat down, disheartened, on the mat that was in the center of the room. She could have followed Aang and Sokka, but she remembered the guard's spear and stayed put.
BACK AT THE CASTLE...
Aang and Sokka caught up with the guard. He looked much more cheerful now. His voice was less rough and he was smiling.
Aang couldn't take it any longer. "Why did you take Katara?"
"Oh, that beautiful young lady down there? She will be your slave." the guard said, nonchalantly.
"Slave?" Aang and Sokka both yelled.
"Yes. This island hasn't had a female yet who hasn't been a slave. It's tradition. Even Avatar Yokura was a slave." he answered "And since we've run out of slave women, your girlfriend will have to do."
"She's not my-" Aang started
"But she's a slave." he finished. "Now enter the castle. Your rooms are 238 and 239 on the 3rd floor. Get some food and come back down. Emperor Mashura wants to speak to you."
"You say that like you've been expecting us." Sokka said, slowly, apprehensively.
"Indeed, we have." the guard replied.
