Chapter 6
"Come on, wake up guys," said Faith waking up the sleepy threesome.

With some sleep in their eyes, Katara and Aang started waking up and rolling up their sleeping bags, while Faith headed to the dinning hall.

"Sokka, wake up," scoffed Katara as she shook Sokka awake.

"Five more minutes," Sokka mumbled and turned back over on his side.

"Just let him sleep, he'll just miss all the "food" for breakfast" said Aang, trying to tempt Sokka out of sleep.

"Food? Did someone say food?" asked Sokka suddenly wide awake.

A few minutes later, the three was ready to head to the dinning hall ready to get something to eat.

"Hey Faith," Aang greeted her as they walked into the dinning hall.

"Hi, Aang," she greeted in return.

"So, when do we start training?" asked Aang eager and ready to learn.

"Wow, why the rush? Let's first just get breakfast," said Faith leading them to the tables to sit down and eat.

"Oh God," Mara said as I fell to the floor feeling some what queasy.

During the night she had fallen ill. Not knowing what she had caught she thought nothing much of it for now. An hour later one of the guards came into the cell to check up on her and feed her breakfast.

"Young lady are you ok?" the guard asked, kind of curious of how Mara looked.

"I'm not sure," she answered, breaking into chills.

Quickly, he handed me her breakfast and walked out of the room.

As the day progressed the illness got worse. Mara started getting weaker and dizzier.

Finely, she passed out.

"Is she ok?" Mara heard someone murmur.

"No, I'm afraid not. She has caught Ice fever," heard another voice.

Mara soon realized that it was Iroh.

She looked around the best she could to see where she was at. She was in a room somewhere on the ship. Underneath her was a soft bed and dim lights lit the room.

Mara looked over weakly to Iroh.

"How...how…long ...have…been out?" she asked.

"Shh, you've been out cold for almost three days now. Now, get some rest" he told her as he got up to leave the room.

Mara just layed there, slowly drifting back into sleep. Then she herd another voice outside the door.

"Uncle, do you think she's going to be alright?" asked the voice softly.

"I'm not sure Zuko, it's kind of hard to tell at the moment."

"I'll take care of her for a little bit for you uncle. You just go and get some rest yourself."

As Zuko walked into the room, Mara closed her eyes and started going to sleep. But before she fell asleep, she herd him saying, "I know I've been harsh and mean to you, but you're the only one who can help find the avatar. If you were awake and no one was around, I would say I..." he broke off as the door to the room opened.

"Prince Zuko, could I have a word with you for a moment," asked one of the Guards.

Quickly, he got up and left to see what the problem was.
