Here's the next chapter! It's really funny, oh and it's uh really funny!

Ch. 3: Free?

Dear Diary,

I really hope Aang and Sokka come for me soon. I can not spend one more day here! I thought that it was bad during the day. It is dead silent, nothing at all, and it's really creepy. Oh and I can not sleep on his mattress. It is way too uncomfortable. I'm still mad about the "tea incident." I absolutely hate this place. It is the worst place I've ever been in. It's cold, smelly, boring, small, old, gross, slimy, and people are constantly yelling. I could continue but the list just goes on and on and on. If Sokka and Aang don't come to get me soon I'll have to think of my own way to escape and I don't think I can. I'll write back to you in a while.

Love,

Katara

Dear Diary,

You know how I said I couldn't come up with a plan to escape, well I made one, and it's flawless. Every day so far in the morning, afternoon and evening a guard comes and gives me food. Today when the guard brings me lunch I'll hide in the shadows so he can't see me. Then when he doesn't see me he'll come in a little confused. I'll throw the biscuit which didn't break even after I hit it up again the wall multiple times. He'll be confused and I'll make a run for it. When I get out on deck, which I sort of remember the way to, I'll try and get off the ship, since we're probably close to land by now. I'll write to you how it goes. Oh, I feel so confident! Here comes a guard with a tray!

Love,

Katara

Dear Diary,

My plan was a failure. At first it went perfect, but then something happened that I wasn't expecting. It went like this:

I was in the shadows waiting. He looked in and didn't see me. He stepped in, as I planned, and I threw the biscuit at his helmet, which threw him off guard. I darted out of the cell and made a run for it. I then heard the guard yell "The waterbender has escaped!" I bit my lip a little nervous and kept running for it trying to find an exit. Butterflies were rushing through my stomach. Where to go, where to go! I panted heavily trying not to be caught as it wouldn't be pretty. I then saw at the end of a hall an open door to the deck. I dashed for it hoping no one would see me. I kept running as I saw the door getting closer and closer. I ran out and froze dead in my tracks. There shirtless training on the deck was Zuko. He turned his head toward me, noticing my bright blue parka. It felt like my heart stopped beating but I was still alive. I ran for the side of the ship so I could jump off but there was no land in sight.

"What are you doing out here!" he yelled to me running towards me.

Suddenly, the guard I attacked came out panting and yelled "The waterbender has escaped!" pausing between each word.

"I can see that." he said angrily staring at me.

"You take one step closer and I'll jump off!" I said sitting on the railing.

"Then what?" he asked. "Even I can't survive being in that water for more than a few hours. Plus, the fall is pretty high." he said walking closer to me by the second. I knew he was right. Plus, if I jumped in I might loose you or get you all wet and ruin all the pages. I started getting off the railing and stood there not sure what to do.

"Now go back to your cell, peasant!" he yelled angrily, about ten feet away from me.

"First of all, you aren't the boss of me." I said putting my hand on my hip defiantly. "And second, don't call me 'peasant.' I have a real name you know. It's…"

"I'll call you whatever I want, peasant." he said smirking. "Now get back to your cell." he said. "Peasant." The more he called me peasant, the madder I got.

"No." I said defiantly, smirking my own unique smirk.

"Now!" he yelled at me, now only feet from me.

"No!" I said smirking and stiffening my legs.

"Guard!" he called.

"Yes sir!" he said running over and putting his hand on his forehead, ready to salute.

"Take this water tribe peasant back to her cell. "I'll deal with her later." The guard and some other guards who came out to tell Zuko I had escaped grabbed me by the arms and pulled me to my cell. Now I'm here waiting for Zuko to "deal with me." I wonder what he meant by that. I'm pretty scared about what he'll do to me, and for some reason I can't get the picture of Zuko shirtless out of my head. He is buff! I don't know why I never noticed how muscular he was. Guess it's because he always has it covered with his armor. If I ever get back to Aang, I have to warn him how muscular he is. Well, I think Iroh is coming to bring me to Zuko. Diary, if I don't come back, tell Sokka, he always used to hog the seal jerky!

Love,

Katara

Ewwwwwwwwww! Little bit of Zutara! Did you like the chapter? If so what was your favorite part of it? Aren't you wondering what Zuko will do to her? I can tell you one thing, he is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really mad at Katara. Katara is probably terrified, and a little bit amazed at how buff Zuko is. And he is buff.
