Well I wrote another chapter. Thanks to all of you who read my stories and review. Well R&R ENJOY!

chapter eight

"Why are we in here?" Katara asked and heard water rushing somewere deeper in the cave. She felt something weird and then she felt like she was about to faint.

"This is Fire Nation, so this cave would be the most spirital place on the island, but be careful Python might try to do something to you in here." he said and looked at Katara. She nodded and fainted. He caught her and sighed.

"I just said be careful!" he whispered throught gridded teeth. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.

Katara didn't know where she was. She wasn't in a dream or a nightmare. It was like a room and she was all alone. She could hear Zuko a little but very faint. "I must have past out like I felt I would." she said and walked up to a cat type figure. It looked at her with it's gold eyes.

Katara gasped and fell back. The cat smiled and turned into a woman. "Why hello, Katara." the woman said and put her hand out for Katara to take to get up. Katara looked at the woman's hand. She grabbed it and pulled herself up.

The woman smiled and her long red hair blew in the wind. "Do you know who I am dear?" the woman asked. Katara looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry I don't." she said and looked at the woman. 'She lookes fairly familiar.' Katara thought.

The woman gave a little laught. "Why you sould know me dear, I've been hunting you for a while now, and no matter what Prince Zuko does your not getting away from me." the woman said. Katara sighed and growled.

"Why is everyone after me? Why can't you let me live let me and Zuko off of this damn island?" Katara shouted and a tear began to run down her cheek. "I love Zuko okay...there I admitted it, I love him! Why can't you take that and let me live?" she yelled.

Python nodded. "Yes I know you like him but how do you know he likes you?" she asked in a feline voice. Katara stood straight and staired at the woman. "I know he loves me, he has to love me..." she said and trailed off.

Python laughed. "Foolish girl, he is a man, a user that is what all men are don't you remember Jet, and Haru, and Mikki?" Python asked and a grin spread accross her face. Katara looked at the woman hard and a shiver ran down her spine. "How do you know Jet,Haru, and Mikki?" she asked in a shaky voice.

Zuko walked over and around some rocks in the cave. "Hold on Katara don't believe anything Python says their all lies." he said to the unconcise girl on his shoulder. He walked up to a stream of water, a hot spring! He layed Katara in it and sighed.

"Please Katara if you can hear me, come back fight her, wake up...please." Zuko asked in a whisper. "Please."

Katara looked at Python then she heard Zuko. "Please Katara if you can hear me, come back, fight her, wake up...please." "Please." She smiled and looked at Python. "I'll fight you for my freedom, fire against water, no magic just bending." Katara said with a smirk on her face. This might not be easy butI havea shot.

Python got in a fighting stance and smiled back at Katara. "I've mastered Fire dear you won't be able to win." she said. Katara shrugged. "We'll see." she said and got in a bending position. She picked up some water and waited.

Zuko heard them talking in the water and smiled. "It's working, come on Katara chase her out of your dream and you'll be back here in the human world." he whispered in her ear.

Wow how was that? Well I can't wait until the next chapter. It will have fighting scence in it with Python and Katara. Ya everyone cheer for Katara. (yahhh) Now who ever wants Python to win say yah. (crickets in the backround) well I'm glad that matter is settled. Now everyone R&R.
