the last one and this one were kinda short soI updated them the same day. on with the show...
Katara woke up in a soft bed and sat up. Her hands were bound with chains and so were her feet. Not only that, they were attached to the wall. She looked around, seeing the walls of the room were metal and there was only one, small circular window on one. The room swayed and she knew she was on a boat.
When the door opened, Zuko walked in. He raised an eyebrow at her with a grin. "Morning, Princess."
"Katara is a princess," Sokka said, sitting across from his friend. "Well, by blood anyway."
"Then what about you?" Aang asked. "Wouldn't you be?"
He shook his head. "No."
They were still in the camp and nothing had been taken down yet. "Why not?"
It took a while for Sokka to answer. "We...Katara and I, aren't full siblings," he replied. "We don't have the same father."
Aang blinked. "But, she said..."
"She doesn't know," he replied calmly, looking to the ground with sorrow. "Our mother married my father to begin with and had me. But, he died shortly afterwards. Later...the Water Prince met my mother. Being a widow with a child, he couldn't marry her, but still, they had Katara. He looked out for us, our mother, Katara and I, even gave us one of his servants to fool others into thinking that he was our father," he explained. "That's the man Katara remembers. But, the royalty of the Water Nation still runs in Katara's blood. She's royal."
Aang just blinked. "How do you know and she doesn't?" he asked, brow wrinkling.
He sighed. "Well, I asked about our father when I was younger. I remembered our father being someone different, but Katara didn't," he stated. "I asked our mother and she told me, but promised me to never to say anything to Katara. I was supposed to make sure no one or even she did, but I guess somehow it leaked out."
"What does the Fire Nation want with her?" he asked, fear gripping his voice.
He shrugged. "I don't know. Since the Water Nation royalty was all wiped out, she's inline for the crown."
"You mean, she'll be a queen?" he asked.
"She would have been. But now, I'm not sure."
