A/N: Thank you to all of my reviewers; I don't know where I'd be without you. Sappy moment over, back to the story.
Zuko left early the next morning before Katara awoke. That was probably a good thing or it would have been awkward. Katara got up and walked over to where her morning food was. It was a measly portion, but it was food nonetheless.
Kataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaara.
Oh no, not again, no way at all.
Kataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaara.
Please, It's all in my head, there's no way.
KataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaraWait a second; that was real; I know I really heard that one.
A knock at the door pulled Katara from her thoughts. She walked suspiciously toward the door and opened it a crack. Standing there were Leela and Shay.
"What are you guys doing here?" Katara gasped, before ushering them in quickly. "I let you guys go, you should have run for the hills."
"Ling and Shang got out, but by the time we had been set free the alarm was out so there was no way for us to get out. Then we heard you had been captured and we knew we had to get you out." Leela said.
"How do you plan to do that?"
"We're not sure yet, but we can't leave you here to get tortured and raped while we run off free." Said Shay.
Katara sighed. "Do you have any news on the avatar or my brother?"
Leela and Shay glanced nervously at each other. "Your brother is being kept in a cell in the basement with a blind earth bender." Shay said.
"What about the avatar?"
Leela took a deep breath, "he is on ship destined for the fire nation, and he is subject to leave early tomorrow morning."
Katara's eyes widened. "We've got to get him off of there. If he gets to the fire nation- we're all doomed."
"We can't do anything until we get you out of here. Hurry and get your stuff together while we find a key."
"No," Katara said, "Forget about me, go to Sokka and Toph, that's my brother and the Earth bender girl. Free them and then go to free the avatar. If you have time, come back for me."
"Are you crazy?" Shay snapped.
"No, I'm not." Katara, "Aang is more important then all of us, but you can't free him alone. Get Sokka and Toph, they'll help you. But you must stop that ship."
Shay and Leela exchanged looks again before nodding. "We will be back for you Katara. We promise you that."
"Don't worry about me," Katara said, "go, go free Sokka and Toph. I have faith in you."
Leela looked uncertain, but she and Shay opened the door and began to make their way down the hallway.
"Katara-"
"GO!" And Katara slammed the door shut and listened to the footsteps disappear down the hall
A/N: School should be out on Thursday, and then I should have more time to write. Review Review Review, por favor.
