Since I can't get onto the internet from my laptop to continue 'The Waterbender and the Avatar', I'm trying to rewrite this fanfic. Trying, is the key word here. It's amazing what a difference four years is. I'm taking most of the swearing out and fixing some of the characters. I have a week of twelve hour shifts, so I might as well do something to keep me awake.

All I can remember from that day we got into the Fire Nation was running from them and Aang yelling for us to leave. We didn't get far away from where Aang was defeated. We were all swarmed from the Fire Nation soldiers, who were ready to bring us all down. I remember yelling at Sokka to get Toph out of here, then being knocked up on the side the head by something hard. I blacked out from the pain.

We had been working our way into the Fire Lord's throne room, when we all heard him laugh at us. Aang knew that our plan of surprise was ruined. The Fire Lord had set a trap up for us. Aang cleared the room of the firebenders, but then the Fire Lord came down. We had all mistaken him for a good firebender, but the Fire Lord was the fastest I've ever seen. Aang tried his best, but the Fire Lord easily beat him to the ground. The last words I heard from Aang was to get out.

I don't if they got out alive for I was brought to Azula, and was to become her slave. For the next five years, that was all I was ever to become. It was always, "Katara, I need some bathing water," or "Katara, what are you waiting for girl? Cook the Fire Lord's food." I was losing hope each day.

All I did was work for five years, until one day in the slave market.
