AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey everybody! Here's chapter 2. Thanks for reviewing last time.
Nothing but Losses
Chapter 2: Captured
"Oh man." Aang looked around. "I hope Katara doesn't show up now."
"Why don't you guys leave us alone?" Sokka got up off the floor. "Everyday it's always US watching our backs and then eventually, you show up, get your butt kicked and then it starts all over."
Zuko looked at Sokka. "You got balls kid. But let me do something about that!" Zuko kicked the air and threw flames at Sokka. Sokka dropped to the flew.
Aang immediately jumped forward and swung his staff, making a gust and throwing the flames back at him. "Come on Sokka!" Aang held out his hand. Sokka was on the ground and reached up for Aang's hand.
"No more games Avatar!" Zuko jumped through the flames, stepping on Sokka's head, and punched Aang in the stomach.
Aang went flying and hit the floor, rolling. " Sokka, Run!" Aang yelled trying to get up.
Sokka looked at Aang. "Aang…" Sokka mumbled to himself. Sokka got up and tackled Zuko in the back. "Aang! YOU run! You're the Avatar. Your more important than me. Get Katara and go!"
Aang didn't want to do what he said but he knew Sokka was right. For once. Aang got up and threw a gust of wind at the firebenders. He ran off, throwing his glider into the air and flew off into the sky.
Zuko threw Sokka off him and got up. The firebenders grabbed hold off Sokka. Zuko looked up at the sky then at Sokka. "Like I said…balls. Now throw him in the dungeon. We'll use him as bait. Once we got the Avatar, we'll get rid off him." He looked at Sokka and smiled.
Zuko ran off into the woods where Aang flew off. I'll find that Avatar, bring him to father and restore my honor. I won't let him get away. I got too close this time. Zuko thought to himself as he ran through the town and then into the woods.
Man, where is Katara? Aang thought as he flew around the woods. She said she was going to be right behind me.
"Ah, this is heaven." Katara was relaxing in a spring she found. "It's been awhile since I had a chance to relax." She lifted her leg out of the water and stretched. "Wait. Isn't it time to meet Aang. Crap!" Katara jumped out and put on her clothes.
Katara ran through the woods trying to get to the town as fast as she can. "Sokka's probably going to yell at me and say something about how hungry he is. I hope Aang isn't mad at me for keeping him waiting."
Katara turned around a tree and bumped into somebody. "Ow, I'm so sorry. I was in a hurry and-" Katara stopped and realized who she bumped into.
"Where's the Avatar?" Zuko walked forward and stood over her.
"I don't know." Katara started to crawl backwards away from him.
"You don't know? Well let me refresh your memory." Zuko pick her up by her arms and slammed her into a tree. "You know now?"
"Let me go! And even if I did know I wouldn't tell you! Jerk!" Katara kicked Zuko in the shin.
"Ow! You-" Zuko sighed and tried to stay calm. "Listen. You don't understand. I need the Avatar to get back something I lost."
"What? Balls?"
"You won't be laughing in a second. Once I get the Avatar, you get the boy."
"Boy? You mean Sokka? What have you done to Sokka? Where's my brother?" Katara was starting to cry thinking something really bad happened to Sokka.
"Now tell me where the Avatar is or I'll dump your brother out at sea." Zuko grabbed Katara by the chin and looked into her eyes.
Katara looked away crying not knowing what to do. "Fine. I'll show you to Aang."
"Good." Zuko let go of her and put her in front of him. "Take me to him now." They started to walk.
As they walked through the woods Katara came up next to a river. There was no bridge. Katara was still a little teary eyed. Where's Aang? Katara thought.
"We have to cross the river. There's no bridge but it's shallow enough." Katara started to cross the river.
Zuko watched her carefully thinking about the fact she's a waterbender. "Don't try nothing funny. I know you're a waterbender."
Katara kept walking without saying a word. Katara waited until she figured he was in the center of the river and swung around and screamed at him. She swung her arms up and a huge cylinder of water arose lifting Zuko.
"What the f-" Zuko was thrown at least several hundred feet by Katara's water bending of the cylinder.
Katara ran as fast as she could back toward the town or to try and find Aang.
Aang continued to fly around trying to find Katara. He saw a giant thing of water in the distance go up and then he saw something go flying. "What was that?" Aang headed toward it.
"Damn it!" Zuko jumped up out of the water. He saw her run off as he was being thrown so he knew where she was headed. He ran after her as fast as he could.
Aang arrived at the river and found nothing. He looked around to see if he saw any signs. He saw footsteps in the mud headed in the same direction but from two different people. By the space between each step he could tell someone was being chased. "Katara…" Aang ran after her.
Katara kept running but she couldn't find Aang or the town. She felt like she was going nowhere. Katara ran some more until she found a pathway. She looked down the pathway and saw the town. "The town!" Katara never felt so relieved. She ran as fast as she can down the path.
Right then Zuko jumped in front of her and she ran right into his arms. "I'll save you from what your running from." Zuko whispered in her ear.
"Go kill yourself!" Katara squirmed in his grasp. She swung her foot up from behind kicking him in the balls. He screamed in pain and doubled over. She ran for the town.
"DAMN YOU!" Zuko got up and flung a bunch of flames at her, catching the back of her clothes on fire. She flung to the floor and rolled. She jumped up but was facing the wrong way. Facing him.
Zuko ran forward and punched her in the gut. Her eyes went wide and she stopped moving. "I didn't want to use violence on a woman." Katara fell on the floor unconscious.
Zuko picked her up and headed back to his ship.
