Lilchibchib: ok so I haven't answered some request in a little while because this one has been taking me a while. SO IT IS UR LUCKY DAY OddlesofNoddles because I am making this a short story in the drabble series. So I will continue with more of this story as the series goes in. Ahahah I beat my parents so I am fulfilling a request while still writing a story LOOPHOLES. But really I couldn't fit your request in just one story so I am making it longer. HOORAY! Enter Zutara Street!

I DO NOT OWN ATLA…..MY TIME WILL COME

I woke up with my head pounding. I could feel the cold seeping through my clothes into my skin. The rough texture bruised my body I was only soothed by the rising of my own temperature thanks to my firebending. My head was stinging and felt as if I had deliberately smashed it into a wall or something hard. I sat up but it was too fast and my head began to pound more. I tried to stand up and take in my surroundings but suddenly felt something heavy on top of my legs. I looked down to see a human body preventing me from moving around. How did I not notice them before. I rolled them onto the ground but they stayed in their state of unconsciousness.

"Hey hey um wake up" I shook them gently as not to startle them, but they did not move. Were they dead? I jumped back in fear of being in close contact with a corpse but then saw the rise and fall of their chest. Obvious signs of breathing. I let out a breath that I didn't know that I was holding. So now was only a matter of how to wake them up. Suddenly I had an idea and I heated up the ground beneath them to an outrageous temperature and the jumped into the air in surprise.

"Oww hot hot hot" I couldn't help but chuckle until I realized who that voice belonged to."Katara?"

"Z-Zuko? What's your problem? I'm trying to sleep and wait where are we? Is this your doing because I want to be returned now!"

"Katara please calm down," Agni was she always like this. She just jumped to the conclusion that I was involved with this when clearly I have no idea what is going on either. I looked at her and noticed that she had continued rambling on and thought I was listening.

"..Zuko I just need you to tell me WHAT IS GOING ON!"

"Like I would….." I was suddenly interrupted by a booming voice that seemed to surround the area.

"Hello my dear hostages how goes it" Who the hell was that and did they say hostages?

"What the hell do you want" They sound so delighted to see us while we are angry and confused. My pissed off level was reaching an all time high. Hostages! What kind of BS is that.

"Zuko don't be so anxious and listen to what I have to say. Your girlfriend over there knows the drill" Anxious! They don't know what the heck they are talking about. They should thank Agni that I haven't burned this whole place down just to find them. The Firelord should not be treated this way and wait did they say girlfriend?

"She's not my girl.."I was once again interrupted as Katara dragged me down and shushed me. I just stared and sat there like a stick.

"Thank you Katara. At least someone has some manners" What we would we need manners for we are hostages. We should be able to talk as much as we want seeing as we are forced to be here. Besides who are they to say I don't have any manners . FIRE LORD ZUKO. ROYALTY. This person has some serious nerve. If I could just….I suddenly felt a punch on the arm and turned to see Katara giving me a death glare. This pushed me to keep my killer thoughts quiet…… for the time being. "Now I have brought you two here for a specific reason,but I am not going to tell you that reason…yet. I have a simple task for you..Survive. That should be simple for a master waterbender and firebender right?Well maybe for a master waterbender not really sure on you Zuko" I clenched my teeth hard to avoid me killing something. "Well that is all for now" Then their voice was gone with the wind. I didn't even know who they were but I didn't like them. Not at all. Wait. They said that we had to survive, but surviving on an island or at least I assumed it was an island was not hard. I looked over to Katara and she did not seem phased. Please this was going to be a piece of cake.

"Zuko" Katara said snapping me out of my thoughts."We need to figure out how to get out of here"

"Like that will be hard"

"Yes it probably will be. There might be traps and if they were dumb enough to put us on an island then they were smart enough to put us far out into sea so that I can't bend us somewhere else"

"How do you know it's an island?"

"I'm a waterbender I think I'm going to know when I am surrounded by water"

"Ok Ok. I wonder what they want from us."

"I don't know but we have to finish the first task for now which is to survive"

" Well then we have to start moving."We needed to find shelter because we were probably going to be here for a while. Some place to think and that was not in the open. There was no way I was staying in an open place while this creeper was probably watching us. If I could find them and wring their neck then this silly game would be over. Yes that would be perfect.

"Zuko killing them will do us no good"

"How did you know I was thinking that"

"Because I'm perceptive and it's written all over your face. Anyway we need to figure out…" She was interrupted as we heard a snarling coming from the bushes. We prepared ourselves as a huge beast that I had never seen in my life came out. It bared it's teeth and the green mulch like skin it had was revolting. I would throw up if not for the fear of movement holding me back. I looked over to Katara and saw her doing waterbending duh firebending. I tried to shoot a flame at the beast but nothing came. I repeated the motion but the same results came about. What happened to my firebending. The beast didn't seem to like the weird motions we were doing and growled. I grabbed Katara's hand and ran the opposite way as fast as I could. Without bending or my swords we didn't stand a chance. I held on as tight as I could to her small arm. I could hear the creatures insane screams getting farther into the distance so I slowed to a walk. Eventually we stopped to catch our breath. "What was that?" I had no real answer to that question because there was no creature like it. It was hideous and disturbing and I just wanted to get away from it. I guess this good put a small dent in our plans to survive but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. The beast seemed to have gone because I didn't hear anyone following us, but when would it come back. We continued walking until we saw a cave. The perfect area to sleep and make camp for the night. I looked off into the distance and realized that the sun was coming down and we had been walking all day. I trudged along into the cave and plopped down while Katara did the same. We sat in silence and I knew that she was thinking of what to do next so I said what we were both thinking.

"We can't bend"

"I know"

"This island or person has done something to us. I don't like the feeling of being able to protect myself" What had been strange was that earlier I could warm myself up and the ground so I must be able to do small things with fire but that was it. I wonder if Katara could even do anything at all.

"Yeah I am so used to my bending but we will have to learn to live without for a little bit" Her voice sounded bitter and….tired. I looked er over and noticed how tired and ragged she really looked. I felt bad because I had been dragging her around and she didn't complain once. I should have paced us to her speed or found a place by myself while she rested, or something.."Zuko I am tired but it is no big deal we will get some sleep and I will be all better" she looked up at me with a small smile on her face.

"You did it do you keep knowing what I am thinking" For the first time today I heard her laugh. I was a whole lot better than her getting mad, and was kinda nice.

"Zuko you are not that hard to read. Your thoughts are practically written all over your face" I answered with a scowl and she only continued to laugh harder. It almost felt as if it was normal to be on this island defenseless. It was better than worrying. I couldn't help but change that scowl into a small smile. I saw her lay down and knew that it was time to sleep. I didn't realize how tired I was and before I knew it sleep over took me.

I woke with a start as I saw Katara next to me. I looked up at the sky and saw the thick blanket of night was still there. She must have been gradually inching towards me and my warmth. I didn't want her to freeze to death so I put my arm around her and gave her as much heat as possible. I saw her settle down and with a smile on her face. See why couldn't she be like this all the time. Her death glare was not as comforting as the look on her face now. How can someone so peaceful looking be so emotional all the time. Wait this was Katara of course she would be emotional about everything. Speaking of which I hope she doesn't notice what she is doing because this would embarrass both her and me in the morning. Besides I want this calming mood to last forever.
