Me: I don't feel like talking.

Gidget: Finally!

Not Again

Zuko woke up in James's room. James was still sleeping so Zuko left very quietly, trying not to wake him.

When Zuko reached his room he tried to meditate but he couldn't stop wondering what his uncle was searching for. It must have something to do with Sarah but surely she was dead. So what was it? He racked his brain for everything he knew about James, anything that might give him a clue.

He couldn't find anything. There was nothing. He gave up trying and fell asleep.

Katara awoke from dreams of Sarah's past. They were so violent. The airbender had certainly gone through a rough childhood.

Katara stood up and went to find a stream to bathe in. She was surprised to Sarah there practicing her firebending.

"Hello Katara." Sarah said without turning.

"How did you know that I was there?"

"The wind tells me things." Sarah stopped bending. "Did you want to take a bath?"

"Yeah. The boys are sleeping so I thought I would sneak down here and bathe." Katara blushed.

"Katara! Where are you?" Sokka called.

"They aren't sleeping anymore." Sarah stated.

"There you are Katara. I was worried. Good morning Sarah." Sokka informed the girls.

They all went back to camp and ate a breakfast that consisted of fish, berries, and nuts. Then they got on Appa and started to fly.

"Where are we going to go?" Sarah asked.

"We should head for Omashu. That way we can try to find a master to teach Aang earthbending." Sokka said.

"To Omashu." Aang repeated. "Yip-yip."

Zhao paced in his compartments. He had sent a letter to the Fire Lord as soon as he was conscious. Zhao was sure Ozai would love to hear about another airbender. Now all he had to do was wait for a reply.

"Prince Zuko?" A soldier knocked on Zuko's door. "We've spotted the Avatar."

Zuko threw open the door and ran to the deck.

"Follow the Avatar. Don't lose him." Zuko ordered the crew as he went to James's room. He was asleep. Zuko wondered if he should wake James but decided against it. His uncle needed his rest. Zuko went back on the deck.

"You will not escape me this time Avatar. I will get you and regain my honor." Zuko muttered.

Sarah heard shouts from below and investigated. "Aang! There's a Fire Nation ship following us!"

Sokka looked at the ship at said, "It's Prince Zuko. Aang, make Appa go faster."

"There's no time. They're too close. We have to land." Sarah checked their surroundings. "There's an island over there. We need to land there. Aang hurry."

"Yip-yip."

All of a sudden Appa cried out in pain. A fireball had just hit him. They had to land quickly.

"Aang hurry!" Katara cried as another attack was launched. Sarah sent a blast of air at Zuko.

Zuko sent a series of fireballs at the flying bison. Suddenly he was swept off his feet by a gust of air. Unfortunately he thought that Aang had attacked which made him want to capture him even more.

Finally they were able to land and get off of Appa.

"Aang, stay with Sokka. Sokka, protect Aang at all costs. Get on Appa and stay hidden in the clouds. Katara, come with me. We'll fight and hopefully they'll follow us and not see the boys. Then we'll fly to Appa on my glider." Sarah commanded. Everyone nodded. "Sokka come here." Sarah and Sokka stepped aside.

"What Sarah?" Sokka asked.

"Take care of my brother. Don't let anything happen to him. He's all I have left."

"I will if you take care of my sister."

"I will." They shook hands in agreement. "Let's go."

Aang and Sokka waited for Sarah and Katara to get into the woods to get on Appa. They rose into the sky, out of sight.

Katara and Sarah raced through the forest, never parting. They had to get somewhere safe.

"Get to that island. The Avatar must be on it." Zuko ordered as he watched the giant beast rise into the clouds.

"Prince Zuko, maybe you should have some tea to calm down." Iroh suggested.

"For the last time Uncle, I hate tea. Leave me alone."

"As you wish Prince Zuko." Iroh went below deck.

They soon landed and Zuko led his crew through the thick forest. Zuko quickly gained on the girls.

"Katara, we have to hide." Sarah whispered.

"Where? There isn't anyplace that they can't see us." Katara replied.

"There are always the trees."

"What?" Katara asked a bit too loudly.

"We have to hide in the trees. Come on." Sarah grasped Katara's wrist, opened her glider, and flew into the trees. Katara screamed in surprise as her feet left the ground.

Once in the trees Sarah clasped her hand on Katara's mouth, preventing the waterbender from making noise.

Zuko and his men searched. The prince knew they were close. Suddenly he heard a scream. He ran in the direction the sound came from.

"This way!" Zuko called to his crew.

Where had that scream come from? It hadn't been far away. Zuko sent a blast of fire a tree which burned down quickly.

"Where are they?" He muttered.

Sarah and Katara watched in horror as the tree beside them burned down. Zuko could have easily done that to their tree. Obviously it wasn't safe here anymore. Sarah removed her hand from Katara's mouth, sure that she wouldn't speak. Katara gave an unexpected sneeze, compromising their position.

Sarah cursed under her breath and prepared for combat.

Zuko looked up as soon as he heard the sneeze. He had them cornered.

"Come down Avatar!"

Sarah jumped out of the tree, leaving Katara in safety. "Sorry to disappoint you but the Avatar isn't here." She drew her swords.

"Come peacefully and that won't be necessary."

"Or I could just not come at all." Sarah attacked the Zuko, cutting his arm.

"You'll pay for that." He lunged at the girl with his own blade.

The crew watched in amazement as the two teens fought. The prince attacked when his opponent would have defended. Zuko watched Sarah's movements carefully, eventually grabbing her wrists and pressing the tip of his blade against her neck.

"Sarah!" Katara jumped out of the tree. "Let her go!" A guard quickly seized her.

"You!" Zuko exclaimed. "You're the girl who travels with the Avatar!" An idea struck Zuko. "So Sarah, are you going to come peacefully or am I going to have to kill your friend?"

"I'll go peacefully."

"Take the waterbender back to the ship." Zuko ordered. When the crew was gone he asked Sarah, "What nation are you from?"

"I'm from the Earth Kingdom." Sarah lied.

Zuko eyed the girl suspiciously, took her to the ship, and threw her in a cell with Katara.

"We seem to have a knack for getting captured, don't we Katara?" Sarah joked.

"I don't see how you can be joking at a time like this Sarah. We have to escape." Katara said.

A soldier opened the door to the cell and said, "Prince Zuko would like to see you."

He took them to a large room and left them there. They sat down in the two chairs that had been placed in the room. Zuko came in soon after they were seated.

"Tell me where the Avatar is."

"We don't know." Sarah answered.

"Tell me where he is."

"We don't know where he is." Sarah repeated.

"Tell me!" Zuko yelled.

"We don't know where he is." Sarah yelled back.

"This is going nowhere. Guard!" A soldier entered the room. "Take them back to the brig and put them in separate stalls." Zuko figured this was the best way to punish them.

Me: Yay! They finally get captured by Zuko. Now we can proceed with the Zutara. REVIEW PLEASE!
