Chapter 4- reunited? (boring title)

KATARA'S SHACK

Katara fell to the floor, thinking she had lost Aang and Sokka forever. What if they slaughter me before I get a chance to tell Aang that I love him? She thought. She laid down on the straw mat, touching the spot on her neck where the spear had hurt her. Her hands traveled down her neck to her mother's necklace. She started to cry softly, and cried herself slowly to sleep.

THE CASTLE

"You think this place is cool, don't you, Sokka?" Aang said with a frown; he was obviously very annoyed.
Aang and Sokka had found their rooms and were preparing their meal." Sure...must...eat!" Sokka replied, grabbing multiple foods and stuffing them all in his mouth, throwing beside him the ones he tasted and didn't like. Momo shot him a pessimistic glare and picked up the foods Sokka threw away.
"But they took Katara!" he said. "Doesn't that mean anything to you? Who knows what they could do to her! They could just be making up that whole slave thing! They could be planning to attack her while her waterbending skills aren't fully perfected, or-"
"Or they could just be right and want you to freak out." Sokka replied, miraculously swallowing the seven or so foods he had in his piehole."Come on, Aang. This place rocks. You just don't like it because your feelings for Katara overpower your common sense."
Aang blushed a deep crimson. "I don't have feelings for Kata-"
"Don't pretend like you don't. I know you do. You always want her attention. You practically drooled over her when she hugged you at Kyoshi."
"You would remember Kyoshi, you and Suki were definately more than just friends." Aang teased.
"Don't bring Suki into this." Sokka said, pointing a finger at Aang. He realized he had stood up and leaned over the table in frustration. So had Aang. Upon finding this, Aang burst out in laughter and hovered in the air, with Momo on his belly. Sokka found it sort of funny and chuckled. "Okay, don't speak a word of this to anyone. Man-to-man secret. Okay?"
"Fine." Aang siad, falling back down to the ground. "Let's go down to the king."

KATARA'S SHACK

Loud knocking awoke Katara from her slumber. She wiped her eyes, which were red and puffy from crying, and opened the door slowly. A firebender sentry was at the door. He sant a quick flame, slamming thedoor wide open. Katara jumped back. "Who are you?" she said, startled.
"The king has asked you to come to the castle to be reunited with your friends and to have a ceremony." he said. he grabbed her arm and led her up the steep-sloping hill to the castle at the top.

THE CASTLE

"Three floors...too much food...ugh." Sokka said, collapsing against a clay wall.
"It's okay Sokka! It's only three floors. Besides, we're here! Now get up." Aang sweeped his arms to two large metal doors in front of them.
"Ugh...do I have to get up?" Sokka said.
"Yes. Do it for Katara. Do it...for Suki."
"Heyy! That's supposed to be a secret, remember?" Sokka yelled. He jumped to his feet, putting a hand over Aang's mouth."Shut it!"
Aang knocked on the humongous (sp?) doors. Two guards, the ones Aang stood up against earlier, opened them. One scowled as Aang and Sokka walked past. Sokka stuck his tongue out at him. Turning to face the room once more, his jaw dropped.
The room was huge. You could have never known it was made out of clay. There were stained-glass windows on either side of...the throne. Yes, the gigantic, elaborate throne of King Mashura. Pure gold lined the burgundy-garnet cushion on the seat. Besides the cushion, everything on the throne was gold. The earthbenders insignia was chiseled into the golden head of the throne. Sokka goggled at the room and though he would never come out this reverie, until-
"Katara!" Aang shouted. He ran through the ten long tables set around the room and ran up to his friend, hugging her and holding her tight. Katara expected the embrace to end, but shelooked down and saw Aang, still latched onto her.
"Ahem..." Sokka interrupted. Aang snapped out of his fantasies and let go of Katara. Sokka welcomed his sister back, and Katara hugged him too, but only hugging Sokka about half as passionate as Aang.
A voice from the doorway interrupted the reunion: "The Avatar has arrived, I hear?"
It was King Mashura.
