A/N: My first avatar FanFic, please enjoy! There is lots of Katara/Zuko involved.
Aang and Sokka hopped onto Appa's back and stared at Katara. "C'mon Katara!" Aang called anxiously. Katara glanced up at Appa and then hurriedly joined her two companions. As she climbed she glanced behind her and saw firebenders chasing after them. Why had they decided to go to the Fire Nation? She sighed as Aang yelled, "Appa, yip yip!" Appa gave a grumble and took off into the air excitedly. Just then a fireball flashed beside him, dangerously close. Sokka, Aang, and Katara all looked behind them to see huge catapults hauling fireballs at them. Katara nervously looked ahead as Appa soared higher and higher into the clouds. Sokka took over the reins and Aang jumped off of Appa's back. Katara looked over the side and watched Aang land into the ocean below with a splash. There was a white bluish light and then Aang reappeared in the avatar state. The Fire Nation boats slowed and stopped to gape at the imagery. Aang waved his arm and a huge wave fell down onto the ships. With that Aang returned to his normal self and flew up to Appa's back once again. He smiled cheerfully and Sokka flapped the reins. Then they were flying through the clouds easily avoiding the Fire Nation army.
Katara glanced back through the clouds and wondered how quickly the Fire Nation would rebound. She pushed the thought away and enjoyed the ride.
The travelers stopped in a forest where a waterfall and a nice pool of water were waiting for them. It reminded Katara of the place they had stayed when she took the water bending scroll. She smiled at the thought then lay down in her pallet to sleep. Everyone had been so quiet; she wondered if they were just revering like she was. She yawned and then rolled over in her pallet and closed her eyes.
Some time later Katara opened her eyes. She didn't recognize where she was. She bolted up to find that she was no longer in the forest but in a room. She looked around and saw the Fire Nation emblems on the walls. She glanced down and saw that she was in a bed and not a pallet. What was going on? That was when she noticed Aang and Sokka weren't with her. She jumped out of the bed and scurried around searching for a way to escape the dreaded room. The door swung open. Zuko.
"Ah the girl has waken up. Have a nice rest?" Katara glared. "Where are my friends?"
