MERRY CHRISTMAS 1 N ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! I am here to write. I got a Zuko. Yeah I know, whats a 17 yr old doing with a Zuko figure. Well I wanted it so I have it, and I thought that I should write a chapter. OKay

Disclaimer: Ya kno I didn't get the rites to Avatar for Christmas, although I got a nice bellybutton ring, earrings and lotz of goodies...wait, I'm going off topic so I don't own.

Waking up to the sunlight shining from the outside of the cave, young Katara sat up and rubbed her eyes. Even though she still felt crummy, she had to get up. The good thing was that she felt a little better.

Looking around, Zuko wasn't there. Maybe he had left, she wondered as she slowly got to her feet. But if he left why did he leave his stuff. Wouldn't've he have taken it and left her to suffer in the cave alone. Atleast one part of the idea was right.

In no time at all from her awakening her stomach began to growl and hurt. It had been quite a while since she had last eaten, and it wasn't snowing anymore.

But the bases of the most importance was to leave the cave and find her friends so along the way she would find food.

Looking at the items left of her foe she debated for a moment whether to take them or not. Admirably they did keep her warm and would come in handy if she couldn't find her friends or another shelter if she traveled to far.

What it rolled down to, she decided to take it, but first checked to see if there was anything that would come to use for her, and did find a dagger. ''Obviously,'' she rolled her eyes. But that was it. He didn't need anything to start a fire. She couldn't make a fire with the flick of her wrist. She could put it out, but that was about it.

Gathering up her bundle she heaved it onto her back ready to leave when sudden footsteps interupted her ready to go departure. Hoping that it was one of her friends or brother she looked to the entrance and found that it wasn't one of her friends but of her enemy in which she thought had left her there to freeze to death or whatever rotten idea that might've popped into his head.

Although to admit it he did look a whole lot better to, and he had sticks and fish with him. He didn't need help in surviving by himself.

Seeing that she was awake and ready to leave he stopped at the entrance and stood there for a moment.

"I thought you left," she said now feeling the akwardness and weakness of the situation. She was by no needs in the situation to fight, and the situation called for no fighting. It was weird yet hard to figure out. Then there was the fact that he had returned. Maybe it was supsided that he had just gone for food and was planning to return anyways.

"I went and found food. The storm had stopped," he said and continued walking. When he walked up to where she had stood he said right up to her face, "So you think that you can take my things because I let you borrow them."

Snided that he was right, but with all the aquired thoughts of how they were toward eachother she stuck her face up at him and said as confidently as she could, "I thought you weren't coming back."

"You've mistaken," he said and went to the pit where last nights fire had burned. Turning to face him she watched as he alligned half of the sticks and set them to fire. Taking one of the seven fish he had he stabbed through it so it went into the stick about two inches and put it over the fire.

The fish looked so tempting to Katara, and her stomach agreed with her as it gave a loud growling noise.

"You should eat," he said and to show his point he held up a fish in the air over his head.

"How do I know that its not poisoned," she questioned but set her bundle on the ground and sat across from him on the opposite side of the fire.

"I wouldn't be eatting it," he said calmly and continued to eat.

He tossed the fish to her not caring whether or not she caught it. She did catch it followed by a stick.

The meal went silent. Infact the moment went silent. The cold wind from outside of the cave blew in the drift of drifting snow. Outside the snow seemed quite deep.

The thoughts in her mind bothered her alot. Why was he so calm. Shouldn't he be 'Get the Avatar,' or something of the matter. The same thoughts that bothered her from the night before bothered her now because she still didn't have answers. He still didn't give her answers and she needed answers.

"Are you travelling alone?" she questioned. It was a sudden question.

"Yes." he said, and she didn't hope that she was going to ask him to travel with her. The idea did cross her mind...just until she found her friends.

"Where are we?" she questioned. Maybe if she kept up with the questions she could ask her previous questions in hopes that he will answer them.

"Somewhere," he said.

Slowly building up inside of her was a little pang of annoyance. Even though she dissaproved of the ideas she wanted him to yell or something; or even try to attack. this calmness was just getting to her.

"Why are YOU SO CALM," she finally snapped out inrage; hand motions and all.

"Are you expecting me to kill you or something?" he questioned simply. No matter what she said to him he never lost his cool.

"To atleast try," she said sarcastically. She put the hood of her coat up and stood up.

"Thanks for the food," she said and began to walk to the entrance.

"You forgot your pack," he said and layed down by the fire with his legs closest to the fire.

"Its not mine," she said and stopped walking and turned back to come face to face with his back.

"You were taking it before, so go ahead. You need it more than I do."

After that he became quiet and she assumed he fell asleep, and with a sudden fear that he was joking she quickly grabbed the pack and left the cave to the silent prince.

Gotta stop there. Hope you enjoyed it on the end of a wonderful Christmas day. Hope to hear what you thought.
