Chapter 17-Prisoner
Zuko was disturbed by one of his guards as he daydreamed. "What?" Zuko shot out, "We have captured one of the Avatars friends, the Eskimo girl!" Zuko followed his guard out of the room towards deck. There stood the Avatars friend, her clothing so fluffy he could just make out her face. Her long brow hair tied into the water tribe style. "What's your name girl?" asked Zuko, "Katara!" she said, "And where is the Avatar?" he asked, "Do you think I would betray my best friend?," "No!" sighed Zuko. "Katara!" three voices called out. Zuko noticed all of them, The Avatar, The Eskimo Boy and… "Kat!" he yelled out, "What are you doing here?"
Kat couldn't believe what was happening, the one she loved stood not so far away from him, but since she had met Aang and the others, she had no idea how to feel about him. "Kat!" he said walking towards her, utter disbelief showed in his eyes. "Stay away from me!" she hissed, backing away. She saw the hurt, the pain on his face, she could feel it on her face. "Let Katara go!" Aang said, the sudden sound ,made Zuko go straight to business, "NO!" He said simply "Unless, you Avatar, stay in her place!" Aang's head bowed, Kat realised what this would mean. But what if…! "I'll stay!" she said. Aang looked at her puzzled, before he understood what she meant, "Are you sure?" he asked, Kat nodded. "No, either the Avatar stays or the girl stays!" Kat took a step towards him, "Zuko please, you won't regret it!" begged Kat. Zuko looked at her for at least three minutes before he spoke, "Fine! The girl goes free as well as the Avatar and his friend, Katrina stays!"
Kat watched as her friends vanished into the sky. She was grabbed by the elbow and towed down under deck and into a room. She sat on the bed and waited for someone to come and tell her what her fate would be. She had read about how, in this time, they had hanged people for batrayel. She was afraid, naturally you would be if you were going to die, but she felt brave, she was going to face up to Zuko. Alone.
