A/N: Well, I'm back from Disney World and it was fun! I start school on Sep. 6, so updates will get rarer, but they'll keep coming. BTW, did anyone see the season finale to WITCH? It was awesome!
Atlantia45: Sorry, but I've only seen the show, and they can all fly in there. But your info is interesting, so if you other readers would like to see it:
Disney created witch to make a change in the world. They are not sure if any one would like the characters so they tested on a country called the Phillip ines. My family, being part philipino went there at times. (5 years apart to be exact.) My cousins were introduced to wich in comic book form. They might be able to be seen in the disney adventures in the back before they started the series. When me my family went to the Phlipines we were un aware of all this untill our cousins intouduced us to witch. It was made by a lady by the name of Mimi. You know Yan Lin has wite hair and she dies. The heart of Kandrakar is from Kandrakar. I dont know why the haven't mentioned them.
"Aang! Sokka! Help!" Katara cried as she was roughly handed off to two men who dragged her out of camp. Unfortunately, the group was camped too far inland for Katara to defend herself. The camp awoke quickly, the Guardians and Sokka coming to her rescue. Zuko shook his head.
"You will let me take the girl and the Avatar," he warned. "Or else your dear Caleb and that animal he travels with will have an unfortunate accident." Cornelia gasped.
"Where is he? What have you done with him?"
"Oh, so you must be the Earthbender. Do not worry, he is only suffering from minor burn injuries…now." The Guardians reluctantly gave up. They had to, knowing how important Caleb was to Cornelia, and Meridian. Zuko had the upper hand. Sokka still couldn't believe that they had taken his little sister and Aang and had to be held back by Irma and Hay Lin so he wouldn't do anything stupid.
"What are you planning to do with my sister, you sick bastard?" Sokka asked the retreating Zuko. The prince just turned slightly and smiled, making Sokka even madder.
"Bring my sister back! Do you hear me? Bring Katara back!" This time he got no answer except the sound of a ship sailing off. Sokka fell against the guardians holding him, and Cornelia flew off into the forest, crying. Taranee flew after her, but Will stayed where she was. She had already started hatching a plan.
Katara, back on the prince's ship, was being dragged to a room decorated almost entirely in red and gold, and she guessed that it was Zuko's room. She hadn't seen where Aang had been brought in, or if he even had been, and feared the worst for the poor boy. The Water tribe girl did not know if she was being given special treatment or was just there to be questioned. She knew she'd rather be in a cell with Aang if he was here either way. The men who had carried her so unceremoniously from her brother left as soon as she had been tied to a chair, locking the door. She sat there for a long time, she didn't know how long, with no one coming to se her. Katara finally fell into a stressful sleep full of dreams of Aang, Zuko, her brother, and the Guardians. A hand gently caressed her face, and she jerked awake, staring into the amber eyes of Prince Zuko. She was confused, but before she could say anything, he touched her again. She shuddered involuntarily, and he stalked out of the room with a definite click of the lock.
What was Prince Zuko doing she asked herself, a little scared. He…couldn't like me. Right? Well, I really don't know why I'm here. But no! He can't like me! I don't like him. I don't!
Yes you do, a tiny voice said in her mind.
I don't! I'd betray Aang…and Sokka would never approve!
That doesn't change how you feel, the little voice continued. She tried hard to convince herself that she didn't like the banished prince, but it was very hard for her to forget those piercing amber eyes.
Down in the cells, Aang was having as hard a time as Katara. He was thrown unceremoniously into his cell with his hands chained to the wall to prevent Airbending. Caleb and Blunk's cell was right across from his, providing the pair from Meridian with a front row seat to his arrival. When Zuko was done making sure his other prisoner was comfortable, he came down to the cells to talk to Aang.
"Comfortable, Avatar? I want to talk to you before you try to escape. We have that Water Tribe girl you travel with, so don't even think about trying to get off this ship. If you don't do exactly what I say, that poor girl will have…accidents." Zuko carefully put a lot of effort into sounding like he didn't care what happened to Katara, and Aang was too upset to notice anything.
"Don't hurt her! It's me you want! I'll do anything you tell me to!" Zuko nodded, satisfied, and left. Aang couldn't believe he would sink so low. If he hurt Katara, it would be Aang's fault, and he'd never forgive himself. In the cell across from him, Caleb spoke up.
"So you are the Avatar?"
"Yeah, that's me."
"You're even younger than the Guardians!" Aang's head perked up.
"You know them? You're Caleb, aren't you?" The rebel leader walked over to his door and was about to speak when their guard did.
"No talking! Keep it down!"
Back in his room, Zuko was angrily ignoring Katara, enraged with himself for showing affection. He told the guards to move her next door, and undressed for bed. He tried to sleep, but it was hard, knowing that Katara was right next door. He couldn't close his eyes without seeing a picture of her. Finally, he gave up, and putting on his clothes, he went up to the deck for some fresh air. He couldn't go into her room. That was certain. So he stayed out there for the rest of the night, enjoying the breeze, and the fact that he was finally going home.
A/N: A couple things I want to go over. First of all, sorry about the shortness of the chapter! But I'm tired, we just got back at midnight, and making it go on any longer would ruin the chapter. Second, just in case I caused any confusion, Katara cried for Aang too because she was asleep, she didn't see him being carried off. Third, I have absolutely no idea what Will's plan will be. Any hints from you reviewers would be greatly appreciated. Fourth, sorry about forgetting about the Guardians. This was kind of a Zutara chapter. Sorry about that, but I needed this chapter to be that way.
