Wow. Thank you all so much for reviewing. I also discovered I had the anonymous review button disabled. But, I have turned it on, so anyone who didn't review because it was off and you don't have an account. Sorry about that. -shrugs sheepishly-
Fairy Frost- Thanks and I am glad to be a big help in your forum. I also glad my story 'rocks your socks'. Lol.
Avafangirl- Well, thanks, but you really shouldn't feel that bad about your story. It's just a matter of your summaries. That's what usually draws peoples attention. C:
Pirateninjelover- Sorry if I spelled your pen name wrong -sweat drops- Thanks for your review. If you keep reviewing, I'll keep posting new chapters.
Outsane- Wow thanks. Your story rocks, too. Way better than mine! I never really was thought of being 'the funny one' in the huge group of kids I hang out with. I'm really more of the one who chuckles at the jokes my friends make. I'm honestly never made anyone ever laugh at me since I was like- five.
LatinaMewTitan- Thanks. Again, was never thought of as the funny one. I guess I really just keep to myself, so I've never really tried to be funny.
Zukoscute2- Well, one, yeah, he is pretty cute. Lol. Two, thanks. I guess if you've never begged before, I should probably update quick. C:
ZaphodChick- Sorry, thank you, though. I tried fixing some of the 'thens' into 'thans'. The location thing, well, you're the reason I rewrote the first chapter, but I guess I missed a few things. Sorry. I'll try it again.
SovereignxXxBrunette- Thanks, I will.
BeenyBFauxFurPurplePeices- Uh…Thanks, I will.
C.A.M.E.O.1 And Only- Sorry if I didn't get your pen name right. So, how is this story weird to you exactly? I'm not really sure what you mean, and I really do want to know.
Okay, Outsane, when I was reading your 17th chapter, I realized I had forgotten a disclaimer. So, here it is…it'll probably be stupid, but I've decided to make my own trademark disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I own Avatar, a pent house in New York, half of Switzerland, and a guy model, an H2 Hummer, and a bag of Milky Ways…riiiight.
Chapter Two: The Jailbird
"I refuse to move my ship off of these piers and you cannot make me!" Zuko yelled at the Fire Nation guard. He crossed his arms and leaned against the bow of his ship. Iroh put his hand on his shoulder.
"Prince Zuko, if they are demanding it, then we should probably just go off the coast." Iroh suggested. Zuko took his hand and whipped it off of his shoulder.
"No! I'm staying here and I'm going to capture the Avatar- with my ship in this spot!" Zuko argued. Iroh sighed and rubbed his temples.
"If we just merely go a little down the shore into another docking area, I'm sure-"
"Actually, people have been complaining about a lot of things wrong with this ship. Too much noise, and some shop owners said one of you kept thieving things out of their stands." The guard cut in. Zuko growled and slowly turned his head and eyed his uncle with an angry glare.
Iroh sheepishly shrugged and slowly backed away inside of the ship. Zuko looked back at the guard. "Who do you work for?" He muttered.
"Excuse me, sir?" The guard said.
"You heard me…who do you work for?" He asked again in a fridge accent.
"Uh... Admiral Zhao sir-"
"OFF MY SHIP!" Zuko screamed. He leaped forward to attack but some of his guards held him back muttering something about the Fire Lord was going to hear about this and how he would not appreciate it.
"My, my, my Prince Zuko. You sure do know how to pick a fight. All you need to do is back your ship out of the docks and wait by the coast. But if people can see you, you're too close." Zhao said walking forward with a sly smile on his face and his hands behind his back.
"Fine." Zuko agreed still having a huge bad temper over this whole situation.
"Even if they see you with a telescope, you're too close." Zhao added.
"WHAT? Now that's not right!" Zuko screamed jumping forward at Zhao. Zuko's guards didn't try and stop him from beating up Zhao, but Zhao's guards refused Zuko to lay one finger on Zhao.
"Be out of here by night fall, or face dire consequences." Zhao said turning the other way. His guards pushed Zuko back then followed Zhao out of the scene.
Aang woke up the next morning bright and early. When he opened his eyes, he realized he was in the back and Sokka was by Appa's head. He had his head resting on one of Appa's horns, and his feet were crossed and resting on the other one.
"Wow. I'm very surprised that you woke up before me!" Aang said astoundingly.
"Woke up? I barely slept. I've been trying to think of a plan. I couldn't sleep ever since Zhao…" Sokka trailed off. Aang crawled forward on his hands and knees inching closer and closer towards Sokka.
"What about Zhao?" Aang asked nervously not really wanting to find out what happened, but still really did want to. 'What if he caught Katara?' He thought.
Sokka sighed. "When we were flying above the trees in the forest, I heard Zhao and his soldiers walking through the forest and talking about Katara and Zuko. One soldier said that he went and interrogated the crew and searched the whole ship and said that Katara was locked up. Zhao said something about 'that girl' being bait. Taking her away from Zuko." Sokka said.
Aang gasped.
"And that's not all. Zhao made up lying stories so they had a reason to make Zuko move his ship really far out into the open sea waters. Zuko isn't at the docks anymore. He's gone. And so it Katara." Sokka said the last three sentences sadly.
"No." Aang whispered sitting up straight on his knees. He just sat there in thought. No movement whatsoever. No blinking, no twitching. Barely even breathing. Without Katara, even Momo and Appa were acting differently. Momo wasn't trying to bug Appa or Sokka, and he wasn't trying to steal food or something else.
Sokka wasn't hungry at all, he hadn't even slept a lot, and he woke up long before Aang did. Aang wasn't goofing off, or trying to have fun, or trying to play with Appa and/or Momo. Appa was well, he was the same. But something made Appa look so different than usual.
But nobody could out their finger on it.
It was strange. Without Katara, the whole group was falling apart… and it hadn't even been a full twenty-four hours since she was gone.
Katara woke up with a yawn. She looked around. Nobody was there except her, three concrete walls, and a wall made out of steel bars. Katara was like her own little jailbird. Across her cell was a cell that had some weird fire nation guard in it. He had his helmet off and was laughing like a retard and one of his eyes was moving around in a circle. He was so thin, you could see his bones.
Katara looked out the small porthole window. She had no idea where she was. The last thing she remembered was her, Aang and Sokka walking into the east side of Avatar Azor's Islands Docking and Marketing Center.
"Nice of you to finally wake up, sleepy head." A sarcastic and icy voice said from behind her. Katara turned around with a gasp.
It was Zuko.
Okay, that's all for this chapter, guys. Sorry to disappoint you. I'd think this chapter would be longer too, but I'm trying to build up the suspense.
Please read and review!
Because the more you review, the more I'll update!
