Ok peoples. Thanks to kayko15 I have a new idea. I will have to work it into my story, so it might take awhile.

Katrina padded along a deserted beach, the wind blowing in her face. Her black hair blew away from her, and her black cloak blew away from her body, revealing the Fire Nation clothes underneath.

She sighed and wrapped the cloak around her once again.

Her arms were killing her. The scars showed easily on her arms.

Katrina looked up and saw a town. Her face broke into a smile and she ran toward it, smearing her Goth makeup in the process.

Katara sighed. Ever since Katrina ran away, her only company was Edoc'sil who, like Katara, was being held against his will. He was shackled down and wasn't able to move anything but his head, and even that was confined to a space about the size of a small pigpen.

Edoc'sil, Katara found, was a very intelligent dragon and she had wonderful conversations with him. The black dragon confided many secrets in Katara and she kept them to her grave.

Edoc'sil was tied down with unbreakable chains. The black dragon, when left alone for long periods of time, would roar his sorrow of losing his beloved Katrina to the evils of Zuko.

One day Katara was aimlessly wandering the halls when she heard the deep voice of Edoc'sil in her head.

Katara, come quickly! I think, with your help, I might be able to get free! Hurry!

I'm on my way! Katara thought back.

She started running to the stairs that would lead her to Edoc'sil.

Suddenly, who should step out in front of her other than the terrible Prince Zuko. (In Katara's eyes!)

Sokka and Rayna made dinner while Aang set up camp. Rayna snuck a sly glance at Sokka and then smiled. He looked over and returned the smile. Rayna laughed and turned back to cooking three fish. Sokka smiled and shook his head. He then also turned back to his work.

Aang watched the two with a raised eyebrow.

"Ok…" he said.

Both Sokka and Rayna looked over and laughed. Aang soon joined in.

Later that night.

Rayna and Aang slept peacefully. Sokka fidgeted around until he finally decided he needed to go to the bathroom. He jumped out of his sleeping bag and ran out of the tent and into the woods.

He has humming happily as he…uh…well, you know…when suddenly he was attacked from behind. A rope was thrown over him and he was tied up. He was gagged and his pants were zipped up.

He screamed into his gag. It was muffled but you could distinctly hear, "Rayna!" through the gag.

He was spun around and shoved forward. Sokka stumbled forward and this kept on until he finally fell.

At the feet…

…Of Admiral Zhao. (sp?)

"This is not the Avatar you asses!" Zhao roared.

The men all looked scared and confused at the same time.

"This is the Water Tribe peasant he travels with!" Zhao shouted.

"Oh…uhh…sorry sir," the soldiers tried to amend.

"Wait a second. I have been on my computer lately, and I have seen that in almost all of the Zutara fics, she was captured by that brat to lure in the Avatar. Maybe this will work as well! I AM SO AMAZING!" he shouted the end.

"Leave a note explaining that we will be waiting for them at…the Earth Kingdom capital, Omashu. (sp?) Tell them to meet us there in two weeks starting tomorrow," Zhao commanded, crackling evilly.

The soldiers saluted and ran off.

"You, my friend, are the ticket to getting the Avatar," Zhao said with an evil smile on his face.

Sokka looked guilty as charged.

That next day.

Rayna woke up and yawned. She got up, stretched, and walked over to the flap of the tent to walk outside.

She took hold of the zipper and saw a note.

She opened it, read it, and shrieked.

Aang, along with Momo, heard the shriek and ran over to the tent.

He opened the flap and coaxed Rayna out. She was sobbing uncontrollably.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Aang questioned, startled and worried for his friend.

"They…they've got Sokka!" she cried.

Aang gasped and read the letter.

"What will we do?" Rayna sobbed.

"We find Katara and Katrina, and we save him," Aang said, determined to save his friend.

Katara gasped and stumbled back a few steps.

"Where do you think you're going?" Zuko said menacingly.

"T-to go see Edoc'sil," she stuttered.

"I think you should stay away from that dragon," he said, advancing upon the poor girl.

"You can't tell me what to do!" she cried in his face.

"Yes, I really can," he countered, grabbing her arm.

Katara cried out in pain as he twisted her arm behind her.

Edoc'sil raised his head in surprise. Since he had been hanging out with Katara so much, he had a bond with the girl; linking the girl's emotions to his own.

He roared his frustration with not being able to help his dear friend.

Edoc'sil HELP! Katara cried out in her thoughts.

Edoc'sil struggled so violently that the whole boat shook.

Finally, he was free.

He stretched his wings and roared his freedom. He shot a jet of fire into the air and started down the halls of the ship, searching for Katara.

Katara! I'm free! Where are you? He said to her.

You're free! I am in the hallway above the stairs that lead down to your chambers.

I'm coming!

(A/N: Since Edoc'sil needs a place to rest, he has the entire lower portion enlarged for him to walk around in. There are different areas such as his bedroom and a bathroom.)

Said beast went up the stairs as fast as he could, only to find that his body got suck. He growled and extended his neck to see into the hallway. What he viewed angered him so much.

Katara was struggled against Zuko, who had overpowered her and was leading her away.

Edoc'sil roared with all of his might, the floor shaking from the vibrations.

Upstairs several flights, Iroh's teacup broke from the roar. He looked at the tea spilled all over him and the table and simply started to cry.

"My-my tea!" he sobbed.

Downstairs, Zuko whirled around, letting go of Katara, who hit him in the back.

Katara cried out again and blew on her hand, which had done nothing to Zuko.

Zuko, on the other hand, stared at Edoc'sil.

He then proceeded to shoot fireballs at the black dragon.

Edoc'sil seemed to smirk. He then inhaled and blew a large jet of fire at Zuko.

"No!" Katara cried, jumping in the path of the flame…
