Katara woke after having slept fitfully the night before. Aang was already awake, or perhaps he hadn't even fallen asleep.
"Any news?" She asked hopefully.
Aang shook his head, staring out into the distance.
"What's our next move?" She asked.
Aang just shrugged his shoulder.
"Are you incapable of speaking today?"
Aang nodded.
Katara walked over and sat down next to him. "Aang, what's wrong?"
"I'm the avatar," Aang said. "It's my duty to protect to people. How can I do that if I can't even protect the ones I love?"
"You did the best you can," said Katara.
"No," said Aang, "I didn't, I'm going after them now." He stood up and grabbed his glider.
"What about me?" Asked Katara. "I just wait here with Momo while you go off on some dangerous mission into a fire nation castle?"
"Please Katara, you have to. I've already lost Toph and Sokka, you can't get caught too." Aang threw his glider, "I'll be back before nightfall."
"Wait-" Katara called, but Aang was already gone.
Katara cursed to herself, "come on Momo, we're going after Aang."
It was a lot slower to follow the fire benders on foot, but they left a pretty distinctive trail so they were easy to follow. After what seemed like hours, she came to a fort, situated at the crossing of two rivers.
She hid down behind some bushes to see how the defenses looked. There were guards every few feet on top of the wall and two on either side of the main entrance. There was no way for her to slip in unnoticed.
Where was Aang? She thought, wait, there he was. His orange clothes stood out against the green. Oh no, he was trying to sneak past the fire nation guards.
Aang, she desperately wanted to call out, to warn him, to stop him, but there was no way she could do that without giving away both of their positions.
Aang was getting closer; he was almost to the guards. Katara was frozen with fear. Aang came up beside the guards, and then he quickly threw an air strike sideways, knocking the guards to the side.
But the guards on top of the wall noticed and started shouting. "THE AVATAR, THE AVATAR."
Aang ran inside the gate, but then, from the top of the wall dropped a small group of archers. The Yu Yin Archers, Katara couldn't bear to watch this, she buried her face in her hands. When she dared look up, she saw Aang being dragged away in a net.
No, she had to fight not to cry out, but some tears escaped her eyes. Sokka and Toph were gone, and now Aang was taken too. All she had was Momo.
What was she going to do now? If the Avatar couldn't save her friends how was she supposed to?
Momo gave her a wide-eyed stare, she almost slapped herself. She wasn't going to stay and cry while her friends were trapped. Momo was right; she had to do something.
She starred down at the fort. The security had returned to its former tight state, no one was going in, and no one was coming out.
A/N: Dun dun dun, what will Katara do now? Well, she'll think of something, while she's trying to figure that out, review, and Ill try to update soonHappy Easter!
