Chapter 16
(wow ya know I never thought I'd get this far!)
Katara couldn't stand not being able to see her friends. She really needed to see Aang so they could think of a way to escape. She wondered if they were getting enough food. Why wouldn't Zuko let her see them? She heard him behind the door and she wondered if he really felt that way about her. Did she really make him feel that nervous that he would completely ignore her? I really want to see Aang and Sokka... she thought. She had been feeling a bit light headed since that morning and was just about to lay down when her door opened and Iroh entered.
"Hurry, if you want to see your friends then we have to be fast. Zuko just stepped out for supplies." he said pulling out a ring of keys. Katara left her bed and hurried out of her room. They made their way to Sokka's room first. Iroh opened the door for her and she entered.
"KATARA!" Sokka cried and jumped off his bed and rushed toward her in a tight embrace.
"ur oking me!" she said releasing herself from Sokka's hug.
"I'm so glad to see you! Are you okay?" he said.
"Yes Sokka, I'm fine, but we need to see Aang. And we have to hurry." she said grabbing his hand and leading him out of the door.
"Whats going on?" he asked her as they followed Iroh to Aang's room.
"You'll find out." she said when they reached his door. Iroh once again opened it and they entered, Iroh stayed outside to be sure Zuko wouldn't interrupt incase he came back.
"Katara? Sokka? What are you guys doing here?" he asked, excited, but confused.
"I have something to tell you guys." she said sitting down on Aang's bed beside him, and Sokka sat at the opposite side. She told them every thing she heard but left out the part about Zuko and his feelings for her.
"I can't believe he would do that!" Sokka said shaking his head.
"I can't either Sokka, but we need a plan." she said sighing.
"Well our last try didn't exactly go great." Sokka said angrily.
"Aang, do you have an idea?" Katara asked him.
"I don't know. You think Iroh would just let us leave?" Aang said.
"Iroh was nice enough to sneak us in here, but I don't think he would go so far as to let us go."
"Yeah, your probably right."
"guys we really need to think of something." she said standing up.
"I know but it's gonna be hard to escape." Sokka said. Katara swayed a bit, then put a hand to her head.
"Katara are you alright?" Sokka asked watching his sister with a worried look on his face.
"Y-yeah, I just feel a little strange." she said quietly.
"Do you have a headache or something?" Aang asked her also looking worried.
"kinda. But its nothing. Lets just focus on figuring out a plan."
"alright, how about when the guards come to give us food, we deck 'em, and make a break for it!" Sokka said excited.
"It's flawed, but a good idea. But how would we get off the ship without appa?" she told him.
"Aang do you still have that bison whistle?" Sokka asked him.
"yeah, but I don't know where he, or momo for that matter, is." Aang said sadly.
"I don't think he would leave us. Maybe he's just staying in the clouds, out of sight until the right moment?" she said reassuringly.
"I hope your right. So are we gonna go with this idea or what?" said Aang.
"we still need to work out some problems with it, but I think it could..." Katara voice drifted off. She put another hand to her head, swaying some more. Aang was just about to ask her what was wrong when she collapsed to the floor and lost consciousness.
"KATARA!" Aang and Sokka cried together. They rushed to her side, and yelled for help. Iroh came bursting in and saw Katara lying on the floor and kneeled down next to her.
"What happened?" he asked them.
"I-I don't know! She, she just collapsed!" Sokka explained. Iroh picked her up and took her out of the room. He told Sokka to follow, and closed and locked the door to Aang's room while he stood there shocked and worried about the girl he loved. Iroh took Sokka to his room and locked him in saying that she would be fine, but he needed to stay in his room. Sokka obeyed sadly. Iroh took her to the infirmary and layed her down on one of the beds and put a warm, wet cloth on her forehead. Zuko would return any moment. Iroh told the doctor on the ship what happened and let him examine her to see what was wrong.
Zuko returned a little later and Iroh told him what happened. The doctor told them that she was just a little too stressed and just needed some sleep, and should be fine after a few hours. But despite what the doctor told him, and to Zuko's surprise, he was worried for her. Iroh noticed the look on Zuko's face.
"Your worried about her aren't you?"
"Of course not." so he said, but he didn't sound like it.
"Zuko, you are not a very good lier."
"Uncle, I am not worried."
"Right Zuko, of course your not." Iroh said deeply disappointed in his nephew, and left the infirmary. Zuko was standing over her bed looking at her. She looked so peaceful, so innocent he could just... Shaking those thought out of his head he walked out and went to his room. Was he really falling for a water tribe peasant?
Aang:
Iroh had come in a few minutes ago to tell him that Katara would be fine and she was only over stressed. He was so worried about her. He wanted to see her badly, but Iroh said it would be better if he remained in his room. Things just seemed to be getting worse for them. He wanted to tell her soon, he felt that if he didn't tell her soon he would lose his chance. Aang didn't sleep well that night, he kept thinking of Katara, and he decided that the only thing he could do for her right now was to work on their escape plan. He knew they didn't have much time before they arrived at the fire nation and he would lose her and Sokka forever.
