Aloha everyone i just want to clear one thing up... I DO NOT LIVE IN HAWAII! well now that thats over with i can get to my story. I think this will be my last chapter for a while, because i really have no idea what to write. If you have any ideas please i beg tell me! but only tell me if you don't mind if i use them. I am thinking about writing a Make-The-villain-Hurt lever. If i pull this lever something painful or annoying will happen to the villain. Please tell me if you think this is a good idea.
I do not own Avatar the last Air Bender.
Chapter 9
"Admiral Zhao we are running low on supplies, there is a village just south of here, it would only take a quarter of an hour." said a guard to Zhao.
"Very well, but we must not linger." said Zhao.
"How is our prisoner?" Zhao asked the guard.
"she is locked in her cell without any food or water, as you asked." the guard said in reply.
"Good, good, set a course for south." Zhao said absentmindedly.
Katara:
Katara was huddled in the far corner of the cell trying to keep warm. You would think that a firebender ship would be warmer. She thought to herself as tears escaped from her eyes. She would rather be anywhere but here, even on Zuko's ship. But then thoughts of Aang came swimming back to her. Where is he, is he alright? She wondered if they even missed her. Of course they do, you know they do. Katara wiped the tears from her eyes. The first chance she got she would make a break for it, she didn't care what happened, all she knew was that she couldn't stay here any longer.
Suddenly she felt a lurch, she fell forward falling on her hands. The ship had come to a stop. Whats going on? If they had come to a stop maybe they had landed on an island. This could be my chance to escape...oh but the doors locked. Disappointed Katara took back her spot in the corner. Losing hope that she would ever see Aang or Sokka again, she drifted off to sleep.
Zuko:
"Zuko, Zhao's ship has landed on the island. You probably have exactly one hour till he returns to his ship with supplies, do you have a plan?" Iroh asked Zuko.
"I do uncle." said Zuko. He had a small bag in his hands, and was leaving the ship.
"Please be careful." said Iroh giving his nephew one last hug before he left.
"I will uncle don't worry, I will be back with Katara." he said as he left the ship.
Once out of view of the ship Zuko ducked behind a tree. He opened the small bag he carried and took out a blue and white mask, and some dark clothing. Once the strange clothing was on, he started to make his way to Zhao's ship. He was getting closer now, and he could see guards walking back and forth on the deck of the ship. His bag still with him he pulled out some sort of explosive and threw it at the end of the ship to distract the guards while he made his way to the top of the deck. He quickly opened the door leading into the ship unnoticed. He walked down the hall as quickly but as quietly as he could. He could he footsteps coming down the hall in front of him. There was nowhere to hide, and the guard was getting closer. Thinking fast he jumped up high enough to reach a pipe on the ceiling,he pulled himself up so the guard wouldn't see his legs sticking out. The guard passed through the hallway, not noticing Zuko.
Listening carefully for other guards he let himself down. He walked further down the ship. He guessed that Zhao would have his prisoners at the lowest level of the ship, so he made his way down further. He noticed that most of Zhao's guards were on the top part of the ship so he didn't run into any other guards on the bottom level. Finally reaching where the cells were he started looking for Katara. He noticed a particularly shabby door at the end of the hall and decided to look there. He knocked on the door silently to see if anyone would be in there, and heard a very quiet moaning.
He tried to open the door but it was locked. Not wanting to, knowing it would attract guards, but having no choice, Zuko took out another explosive. Lite the string and placed it in the handle of the door. He backed away and covered his ears. BOOM. Running into the cell, almost unable to see because of the smoke, he felt around for Katara. He heard coughing in the far corner, and heard a thud, thinking she might have passed out. He picked up her limp body and exited the cell. The smoke was clearing now and he heard guards coming down the hall. He had one more explosive in his bag. It was enough to knock out a few guards but not all of them. He threw the bomb down the hall. He heard more thuds and ran out. Almost to the top of the ship more guards were coming. Having no more explosives all he could do was run, because if he used his firebending Zhao would know it was him. Faster than the guards behind him, he got to the deck.
He burst through the door still carrying Katara, and ran down the ramp of the ship. He knew the guards were still following him so he couldn't go back to his ship just yet. He ran into the woods for coverage. Thinking he had lost the guards after running for some time, he was finally able to return to his ship. But before he could he stopped behind a tree and switched clothing. Now walking back to his ship with Katara in his arms he climbed the ramp to his ship. He saw his uncle waiting for his return at the top.
"Zuko thank goodness you've returned!" said Iroh relieved.
But Zuko now finally able to get a good look at Katara, saw that her face was covered in bruises. He felt a pang of quilt in his side. One of Zuko's guards had walked up.
"here take her to the infirmary." he said passing over Katara to the guard.
"Zuko you look tired, you need a rest, a man needs his rest." Iroh said looking proud of his nephew.
"I think I will uncle." he told Iroh as he walked back to his room.
Katara:
Katara woke up in the infirmary the next morning. Her face still felt like it was on fire. She looked around and found a small bowl of water on a stand next to her bed. She bended the water to fit her hand like a glove and put it to her face. Almost immediately the pain and bruises were gone. She heard a strange growling noise and realized that it was her stomach. She got out of bed and thinking there would be food, walked down to the dinning room where she had usually eaten before. She opened the door and found Iroh and Zuko already eating. Zuko didn't look up, but Iroh asked her if she wanted any tea, bread or fish. She took her normal seat at the table and began to eat until she had almost eaten the entire table. Once she was finished Iroh told her to go back to bed. Not wanting to complain she did as she was told. But before she left she did the most surprising thing. She walked over to Zuko and kissed him on the right cheek. Before Zuko or even Iroh could take in what she had just done she had left the dinning room.
Aww isn't that sweet? I think it is. Well my friend is probably mad at me right now so i need to go. Please review because im a review addict and your reviews are like sweet sweet drugs to me. Not that i would know what drugs are like. Please tell me if you think that villain lever is a good idea.
The ever cheerful Shojo Butterfly
ALOHA!
