I feel so loved right now. I'm glad everyone liked my story! Well, here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 2

Dear Journal,

I miss Aang and Sokka so much. I hope they're doing well without me. I hate this warso much I can't express how I feel. My mother deceased and my father gone to fight for the water tribes, Sokka and I are practically orphans! And it's all because of his stupid, obnoxious nation! They're the ones who started this useless war! Hundreds and hundreds of children and mothers and fathers dead; the Fire Nation acts like they can't show the least bit of mercy. As far as I know, they are the weakest nation; maybe not physically, but most definitely in mind and spirit.

I have just eaten dinner, and, again, it was very nasty. I prefer the food I ate back with Aang and Sokka. I must go. I hear someone turning the key in the lock.

Dear Journal,

I'm feeling better now. Last night Prince Zuko's uncle Iroh came to visit me. I was afraid at first but I came to like him. He and Zuko are very different; I can't believe they're related. He welcomed me here and told me about himself. He is a retired general, loves tea, and, the part that surprised me the most, he doesn't like this war at all! I thought all Firebenders supported this war. I guess I thought wrong.

When Iroh asked me how I was, I complained about this cell. He told me he'd try to persuade Zuko to let me stay in a more suitable room. And the best part of all, he's going to let me eat with him at dinner. I can't wait! I hope they have better food. I can't help but feel a little suspicious, too. What if Iroh is just being nice to me to get me to tell the whereabouts of Aang? I'm starting to think agreeing to the dinner was a bad idea. Well, there's nothing I can do about it now. I'll just keep my mouth shut.

Zuko also paid me a visit today, unfortunately. This time he told me, "You are to attend dinner tonight, but in exchange I want information about the Avatar." I rolled my eyes and said, "I'm not telling you anything. Can't you get that into your tiny little brain?" He scowled and we started arguing. Eventually he stormed out of my cell, slamming the door. He has some nerve.

Dear Journal,

The food at dinner was delicious. There were rolls, sweet tasting fruits and drinks, rabbitmeat, everything you could imagine. I almost started drooling. Iroh and I chatted while Zuko just ate quietly, hardly uttering a word. Once he asked me about Aang but Iroh told him not to bother me with that matter, and so he didn't talk for the rest of the night.

Aang and Sokka still haven't come for me. I wonder what's taking them so long.

Dear Journal,

Today I sat outside on deck playing Pai Sho with Iroh. Of course I didn't know how to play but he taught me and I caught on quickly, I even beat him at a game! Zuko didn't seem so happy about that. But who cares? I sure don't. He leaned on the rail the whole time watching me, like I was going to pull a trick and escape. Where would I go? We're in the middle of the ocean!

I loved being out of that dark cell. The sun was shining brightly and there was a warm breeze about. And the ocean was so beautiful. I could've stared at it all day, but Zuko was so hasty to get me back in my cell. What is wrong with him? Do he really consider me that much of a threat? Well, I am a pretty skilled Waterbender.

I asked Iroh if he could show me where the bathroom was so I could take a bath tomorrow. It's by Zuko's room.

Katara

Dear Journal,

Oh my! I was about to knock on the bathroom door when Zuko came out, nude. Well, he wasn't really nude. He had a towel wrapped around him.Of all of thetimes I've seen Zuko,I never saw him blush like I did today. I bet my face was just as red. I just stared at him. I couldn't tear my eyes away. Water was still dripping from his chest, which by the way was perfectly toned. I mean, Gods, it was like a Roman God was standing before me! He must've noticed me staring at him so openly because his blushed deepened and he scowled. "What are you looking at?" He yelled. I wanted to answer, 'A God' But I didn't. I would be betraying Aang and Sokka, and my tribe, even more. I moved out of the way and he walked swiftly to his room.

And here I am, my face still feeling a bit hot and flashbacks of that moment constantly popping into my mind. Curse my hormones.

Here's chapter 2! Hope you enjoyed it! And sorry for the shortness of this chapter, I was never good at writing long chapters. Review please.
