Chapter 2: Promises

Aang watched Katara fall from Appa, his and Sokka's faces contorted with disbelieving horror. They watched her fall, there was too much time left for the enemy to act and too little time left to save Katara.

They were about to turn Appa around in a desperate attempt to save their friend and sister when they both witnessed something that couldn't be true. The Fire Nation's prince had thrown himself forward and caught Katara. Why would he save her?

"Sokka! They've got Katara! We've got to save her!" Aang made a move to command Appa to dive, but Sokka grabbed his arm.

"No, Aang, we've got too many disadvantages. As much as I hate to say this, we need to hang back and come up with a plan to retrieve her."

"But!"

"If we move to rescue her now, they'll shoot down Appa, capture you, and probably kill Katara and I. Is that what you want?"

"No," Aang mumbled.

"Then let's go find somewhere to rest, Appa needs it."

As they flew away, Sokka looked down at the Fire Navy ship and promised two things to two people. 'Katara, I'll save you, no matter what. And Prince Zuko, if you harm her in any way, no matter how small, I'll make you regret it.'

A/N: scratches head Um, I think this chapter's longer than the last one…But probably only because of the dialogue. But, don't worry! Next chapter's thrice this! Please review! It keeps me going!
