Chapter 5

Sokka looked as if he was about to jump off of Appa to get to Katara. "Stop Sokka it won't help Katara if you get captured too."

"You're right… so what's the plan?" Aang whispered his plan to Sokka. "Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Positive!"

Katara sat in the chair eating her bread. She just starred at Zuko in a trancelike state. She swore she heard kindness in his voice when he had said don't worry.

"Why do you keep staring at me?" Zuko demanded.

"Oh… uh sorry," she said. "I just was thinking of something funny…"

"What? You think being captured by the prince of the fire nation if a joke?" He felt the fire inside of him about to burst out. He turned around and screamed, fire exploded out of his mouth.

Katara felt tears run from her eyes. She was so afraid, not only for her but what he could do to Aang and her brother. She was sure they were coming.

Zuko saw her frightened eyes and the glistening tears that fell from them. They turned to ice as they hit the floor. "I… I am Sor….ry" he felt himself soften a little bit. "I just get really angry sometimes and just can't control it…"

That didn't help her any she was still very afraid. "Please… just give me my necklace… please." Zuko silently handed the necklace to Katara. She grasped it so tightly it hurt her hand. 'Please Aang and Sokka come get me soon' she thought. She glanced out the little round window she saw something in the dark… It was Appa!
