Chapter 2
Zuko woke up with a start later that day. He looked around his surroundings and noticed that he was being carried off to a cell with the Avatar close by. Aang was struggling and failing to escape. Zuko shook his head trying to recall what happen earlier. When he remembered he started to squirm to get out of who's ever grip he was in. He finally freed his left leg from what he thought to be a solider and kicked the guy in the back of the head. He was dropped and Zuko took off running down the hall. He looked back to stick out his tongue just to be a little childish when her returned his gaze to in front of him. He ran straight into his sister.
"Going somewhere little brother?" Nyla laughed grabbing his hands.
"If I remember Nyla I'm older than you by two minutes." Zuko smiled kicking her feet out from under her. She let go of his arms and fell to the ground. He jumped over the princess and ran off.
"I don't think so brother." She said grabbing Zuko's right leg causing him to fall flat on his face. "Father's going to be very disappointed in you after I tell him you've been helping the Avatar."
Zuko narrowed his eyes. "I don't think so. It's lies. He never did like you anyway. The only reason he kept you alive is because of Mom." Zuko snapped. He let a little smile come before finishing up with. "But I'm sure Mom didn't even want you after you broke her necklace. You really weren't worth anything to either Mom or Dad after that."
Nyla glared at her brother and stood up and launched an attack his face. Zuko rolled over as much as he could just in time to avoid getting another scar on his face. She then helped the prince up and brought him to her face. She then hit him across the face before dragging him down the hall he just came from.
"Well Prince Zuko it's time you think about what you said." She opened a cell door before throwing him and Aang into it.
Before she had a chance to close the gate a tan blob ran out and down the hall. She yelled, "I told you I could get away," before running into Zhao. She put her head down in defeat before he pushed her back towards the cell. "I know I'm going. Don't get you fire all in a bunch."
The girl was shoved into the room and the cage was shut. Nyla walked up to the cage and stuck her finger at Zuko and lit it. Zuko on the other hand wasn't afraid of a little fire from his sister so he walked up to her and bit her finger.
"You bastard!" She yelled nursing her finger before walking off. "Because of your friend here none of you get dinner tonight." She walked out of the dungeon and slammed the door behind her.
Aang turned to Zuko and the other girl. Her hair only fell down to her chin and her eyes were a bright blue. She looked really familiar to the Avatar but the boy couldn't put a finger on it.
Zuko rolled his eyes before walking over to a chair that was in their cage. It was then a masked soldier came into the cage carrying a box. Zuko raised his eyebrow as the guy walked over to him.
"Don't touch me." He snapped.
"By order of Admiral Zhao and Princess Nyla you are to be stripped of your armor and weapons. It will be easier if you assisted with our cause." He replied taking off all of Zuko's armor. Shortly after that two more guards entered just to hold the prince down, because he wouldn't quit squirming. After they got off all of his armor they did a whole body pat down to make sure that the prince didn't have any more weapons on him. "You can keep your boots Prince Zuko." He said snatching away Aang's staff before leaving the room.
Zuko smiled as he sat back down on the chair. He decided that the guards weren't trained well enough because they didn't bother to check his boots for any weapons. He let it slide after all he needed something other than his fire bending to keep him safe.
Aang shook his head already used to getting his staff taken away when the Fire Nation captured him. He turned to the girl that they shared a cell with. She was now arguing with the guards that were standing outside of the cell.
"If you would just let me have a brush…" She kept saying.
"Look if we open the door…"
"The other warriors of Kyoshi are going to come rescue me." This caused the guards to start laughing.
"Yeah right little girl. Those sissies? They can't even hurt a peasant from the Fire Nation." He snickered.
"Just leave those guards alone they're about as brainless as the rest of Nyla's goons." Zuko said folding his arms.
"Shut up Your highness, I'm still not speaking to you because of the damage that you caused on Kyoshi." She yelled.
"So you must be on of those stupid weak security guards?" Zuko asked sitting up slightly.
"Yup. I'm the head warrior. I'm Suki remember my name fool." Suki snapped.
With Katara and Sokka
Sokka had much recovered from his unconsciousness but Katara on the other hand was still out cold. He looked worriedly at his sister she seemed like she went through one hell of a time trying to protect them. In the end nothing worked and they were all kidnapped. Sokka's instincts told him that they were also separated from each other as well.
Katara moaned and sat up. Her vision was still a little blurry but it would eventually come back in a matter of seconds. When it did return she saw her brother release the breath that he was apparently holding.
"Glad to see that you're okay. What happened?" He asked as Jet walked into the room.
"He happened." Katara glared at the rebel leader.
Jet sat down next to the two teens and smiled he put an arm around Katara and laughed. "My princess shouldn't be in here too much longer." Katara squirmed out of his grasp before backing up to a wall.
"You're princess? I'm not a princess of anything." Katara snapped before pulling out water of her canteen.
Jet clicked his tongue three times before the Duke walked into the room and grabbed the water bender's only defensive item. He walked out and nodded his respects towards Jet before closing the door behind him.
"Yes my princess. After Zhao becomes the Fire Lord he promised me my own country and you are going to be either my queen or concubine." Jet replied before standing up. "You decide Katara. You've got until we reach the Fire Nation in three days."
Katara fell down. Both choices sound awful to her. Sokka walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure we'll find a way out of here. If not Aang will save us some how."
K15: Here's chapter two for ya. Now to answer some reviews… not all because they all say the same pretty much. I'm glad you guys like it so keep reading and hopefully it will get better.
SilverStorm106: I put Jet in the story because I needed some more action plus I wanted Katara and Sokka out of the picture while Zuko relies on Aang for help this time.
STRANGEPERSON: I hate Zhao too. He looks like a monkey when he gets angry. It's funny. You should watch Blue Spirit and watch very closely. (Too much free time that's why I noticed it.)
Arwey: Nyla like I said in this chapter is Zuko's evil twin. I forgot that some people don't read my other stories… sorry.
LoyalFan: Sorrythat I confused you. I should have put in my authors note last chapter that it had nothing to do with my other fics… I was going to make it the sequel to Running from fear itself. (Which you all should read) but went against it because I would have to change some parts… I try not to write the sequels ahead of time because I put stuff that I have to go back and put in the actually story… I've actually got the first chapter of the sequel to Making a difference written… Redeeming a Prince is what I'm going to call it.
K15: Okay that's all the reviews… until next time reviewers… sorry I'm trying to update before a storm hits and my 'rents kick me off the computer. Later. K15
