The warrior opened the door lightly and looked outside. When she was sure that their were no people in the hall, she stepped outside and ran towards the room at the end of the hall. She reached the door and opened it.
--
The door opened, when he saw the girl he smiled. "Smellerbee, tell me. Why did you came?" Ozai came towards her. "You said that you would send a royal hunter, but we have the prince for eight days by now, and still no hunter seen." Smellerbee crossed her arms above her chest.
"That's weird, Katara was a slave, made royal hunter for this and you still didn't saw her? She's inexperienced and a beauty, your camp has no weak spots. Maybe you should search the forest near the camp." He rubbed his temple. "Good we will. And when do we start?" Smellerbee came towards Ozai.
He smirked and pushed her on the bed. "You'll be screaming my dear girl."

Zuko looked up when he heard the door, a girl stepped inside.
From the eight days that he was locked up, he saw only Jet and Smellerbee, never this strange girl. He recognized her, but from where?
Katara closed the door, looked at the prince and then at the blood on the floor, she came towards him. "Who are you?" He could still speak even if he was hurt so badly.
"I'm Katara, a royal hunter. It's time to get you out of here." She examined the shackles. "A royal hunter? How did you got in the camp?" The warrior took the whip that hung on the wall. "I have experience." Was all she said.
The girl lashed, not Zuko, but the shackles. After three hits, the shackles broke and she quickly captured the prince before he fell on the ground. She saw a tapestry decorating the wall and walked towards it. The boy hung with his arms over her shoulders, the hunter lifted the tapestry and went in the secret passageway.
"Katara tell me, did you killed somebody? Because if you did, I hope it was Smellerbee or Jet." She laughed a little, "Yes, to get in the camp I needed something that would show that I'm a girl. A boy, Haru, came in the forest, he wore an armor outfit, after I killed him, I took his armor and went in the camp. Then I went towards Jet's room, in his bathroom I found make-up, the best way to get someone like Jet crazy. I took the knife, that I had hidden under his pillow when he ravaged my neck. I only sliced his neck after I got the information that I wanted." Zuko smirked when he heard the part of Jets dead, and she felt it in her neck.
Katara walked four miles and dragged the prince with her. They talked, it was the only thing that they could do. The hunter didn't talked about the fact that his father worked together with the rebels. They got out of the tunnels and walked in the forest, after a half hour they found a cave. She lay him on his stomach, placed the bag near him and went outside. Zuko fell asleep after five minutes.
The girl walked back in fifteen minutes and removed the details that could lead towards them, she took wood with her for a fire. When she got back in the cave she lay the wood down and started to make a fire. With firestones she got the wood aflame in no time. She saw the sleeping prince and smiled.
The warrior opened her pocket and used his hair-tie to pull her hair up. Then she opened the bag and took one water flask and the white piece of clothing. Katara wetted the clothe with water, she cleaned his wounds. First she washed the new and dried blood away, then she started to clean his wounds.
Zuko woke up when he felt a strange pain on his back. He jumped up, only to be held down by her hand that pressed in his neck. "This can hurt a little bit, but it will be better when the wounds are clean." She took some new water and cleaned the last wound. Zuko gritted his teeth so that he wouldn't scream out loud.
Her hand left his back and he thought that she was done, but he was wrong. The girl took a green cream and smeared it in his wounds. "It's cacoa-cream." She said it so that the prince wouldn't push her away. He nodded while she smeared his back.
"I'm done will you please sit up?" She putted the cream away and helped him to sit up. When Zuko sat up, she took a bandage and started bandaging his back. After she was finished, she gave him some water to drink. The prince gave her the flask back, he noticed the hair-tie. "Is that?" He pointed towards her hair.
"Yes, your hair-tie." She took it out her hair and pulled his hair up in his normal hairstyle.

"Ty Lee, there has to be happened something. It's been eight days ago that she left. She's dead and my brother as well." Azula sat on her bed. "Princess, just wait and I will bring rapport of the situation by the rebels." The advisor lay a hand on Azula's shoulder. A knock on the door, a boy came in with a letter. Ty Lee took the letter and the boy left.
She opened the letter and read it, her eyes grew wide when she was done. "What? What happened?" Azula stood up. "The rebels found one of their man's dead in the forest, his armor was stolen. Jet the head rebel was killed in his room, they found a little bit red on his lips like he had kissed a girl and…" Ty Lee looked at the princess.
"And…" Azula hated to wait. "And your brother escaped, the shackles were broken by a whip. Nobody saw them leave, we don't know where they are, but we know that they're alive." The girl ran towards Ty Lee and hugged her.

Ozai took the letter and opened it. His eyes grew wide, he cursed and his good mood was destroyed. The worst about the letter was that she had kissed Jet, maybe more. He didn't knew and that made him even more furious.
Looks like she really was worthy the title of royal hunter. For the rest of the day he stayed in his room.
