Disclaimer: I was hoping in some way, after the long wait you guys had to endure, I would own Avatar, sadly, it never happened. You all could give me ideas for the show, and I would use them and dedicate the episode to you, but again, sadly, it never happened.

I'm SO sorry for the long wait! I had NO idea where to start.

"Katara! I'm hungry!"

There he goes again, whining like a child about how his stomach was grumbling. And now he's explaining it in depth, great, tuning out now.

"Hey Aang, how long till we reach land?" I asked, walking up to him. I sat down behind him and waited for his answer.

"We should get there by... midday I guess." He said, turning around to smile at me.

Silenced endured again, with me ignoring Sokka's complaints, and just staring at the ocean's calm waves below Appa.

"Uh... guys?" I turned my head to face Sokka, finally ready to listen to his antics.

But it turned out later, as we were dodging fireballs headed towards us, that maybe listening to Sokka once in a while was actually helpful.

-

I woke up with a gasp, my breath shallow and my vision dizzy. I heard a soft snoring beside me, only to see Jet still sleep, his arm tightly hugging my waist, restraining me from being free from him.

Even without looking at the wide window leading towards the balcony, I could tell the time of day. Well, not exactly, but at least I knew it was before five and after twelve. Jet usually didn't wake up until five, and I couldn't fall asleep till twelve.

Was that their names? Sokka and Aang? I couldn't remember it for so long... and now...

Yes! I finally remember it! Their names had been brainwashed away from my head five months ago, when Jet imprisoned me.

But why? Was it finally because I was able to sleep peacefully after so long?

I found a smile creeping up on my face. If my past was in my dreams... perhaps I could will myself to sleep more often.

-

"I'll save you from the pirates."

There he was, holding my hands, imprisoning me.

I was tired, breathless, from running away from those dreadful pirates that threatened to kill us all, just because I stole their waterbending scroll!

So you can't blame me if I was desperate and my head was too dizzy to be worrying over the fact that me enemy was trying to help me, despite the fact that it was very suspicious.

"O-okay."

He dragged me away, making me stumble in my steps in following him.

"C'mon."

"Why are you doing this?" It seemed as if common sense was coming back to me.

"I have my reasons." Was his only answer. It was an expected answer, knowing him.

He turned to face me once we got to his ship, to get his rope, which I couldn't understand why. Were we going to tie them up or something? What good would that do? I thought he was an expert firebender!

I felt our faces getting closer every second for some reason, and sudddenly I felt this... this strong urge to kiss him!

Kiss him? What was I thinking, kissing the enemy? The idea goes right up there with trusting him!

So, I was kind of surprised, but not too much, when I found myself bound to a tree with the suspicious piece of rope.

Great.

His face came closer to mine again, and for a minute there I thought he really was going to kiss me...

I felt his warm breath on my face when he spoke.

"You trust too easily peasant." (1)

-

My eyes opened again, but I shut them quickly once the light hit my eyes.

Obviously, it was morning. Yay. I'm more of a nighttime person.

I felt my side to realize that Jet wasn't there, which didn't surprise me. I'm used to his routine by now.

I stretched my limbs and got up lazily; it was mornings that motivated me to go to my arobics class that Jet allowed me to set up, otherwise I'd be as lazy and as fat as a pig. Not something I'm looking forward to.

I put on the green silk robe over my bedtime dress, something I'd rather not show the guards at the door. It was a bit too short for my tastes, but it's what Jet wanted, and what Jet wants, Jet gets.

That was the motto these past five months. That's why I was captured, why the Fire Nation is now either bowing to Jet or they're dead, I'd rather think of the first, and... why I'm married to him.

You heard correctly, unfortunately.

I washed myself in the large marble tiled bathroom, and after half an hour, my bath was complete and I rose from the tub and dried myself.

I left my room, dressed, and drying my hair when I heard someone speak.

"Sir, we found this last night. Guards # 42 and 44 saw something suspicious last night, and when they went to investigate it, they found this."

There was a moment of silence, and Katara chose to stand up on a table and listen to the vent, where all the noise was coming from.

"Search the grounds, every inch of it! I know who this is, and what he wants."

"Who sir?"

"...The banished prince of the Fire Nation, Zuko."

Zuko? He was here?

"Tell the guards upstairs to secure my wife's room carefully. Shut every window and keep every door locked and guarded."

No... no, no, no! He really did know what Zuko wanted... He only knew because I wasn't careful last time, neither was he. That's how I got caught, how I told him to escape, and how I got married to him five months ago.

Zuko... please find me.

(1) - I'm not sure what I think happened there. I do think she was desperate at some point, but I'm not so sure if she would trust Zuko... hm... Well, that part ending that way was needed for the story, but I am curious. What do you guys think happened?

Again, so, so SORRY for the long wait. I didn't know how to start, but I'm using the idea of dreams showing the past. But, I'm not sure how long it'll be before you guys know what happened.

Any questions? Katara was kind of brainwashed once Aang and Sokka died, it's kind of obvious they died, if you didn't know, sorry, my fault.

I'm not sure about some things with marriage, if anyone is an expert on the topic, please contact me. At least, the amount of time before you can get your marriage annuled. It's something I am expiermenting on.

And no, she's not going to annul her marriage. Sorry people.

Love,

Ivy
