Back At The Gaang:
"I can't believe I let them take him!" Katara yelled at no one in particular.
'Katara it's not your fault." Sokka reasoned
"Yes it is. They should have killed me. Aang's needed more." Katara said tearing up
"Um not to be insensitive and all to your boyfriend but Zuko was taken too." Toph pointed out
"Like I'd care. I blame him. When you guys came back Azula probably followed you. I don't care what happens to that....that......Ugh I can't even say it!" Katara yelled
"Katara as much as you refuse to believe it dad and Suki wouldn't be sitting here with us right now without him. And I'm sure his fate is allot worse than Aang's." Sokka added
"What do you mean? How can you stick up for him?" Katara stuttered
"Katara. I know Aang. And I know Zuko. And I know the only thing that would ever break Aang would be for you to be hurt. And I honestly can't think of anything to keep Zuko down." Sokka said
"And that's why I blame my self. And since when was Zuko so strong willed?" Katara inquired.
"He did kinda jump over a boiling lake and nearly fell in to make sure we got across the prison," Suki answered
"As long as Aang gets out of there alright then I'll be happy." Katara said
"He will Katara. I'm sure of it." Sokka said. Katara glanced around the fire before walking to her room.
"What's going to happen to them anyways?" Sokka asked quietly.
Chit sang looked down the same way Zuko had when Sokka asked about war prisoners. "There not gonna do anything to the avatar. They're just gonna keep him in a cell till they win the war."
"what about Zuko?" Toph asked
"Chances for him aren't anywhere near bearable. Probably severe torture. I've heard what he did to Ozai and I have a feeling that man's gonna execute him publicly. Like last time." Chit sang said.
"What last time?' Suki inquired
"He hasn't told you? Well I guess he wouldn't. I wouldn't if I were him. His father gave him that scar. In public. He was barely her age." he gestured to Toph.
"Are you sure that's not just a rumor. Even Ozai can't be that cruel. Although Zuko did mention both him and Azula shooting lighting at him. That's got to be hard. Having not only all three nations but even your own family trying to kill you." Sokka said looking to his dad.
"Ya. But sadly I'd believe it. The fire princess is a bit um scary." Hakoda said. "I'd feel sorry for anyone growing up with that."
"Okay can we change he topic. I can't stand not knowing." Suki said.
"Ya. I'll go check on Katara" Hakoda said.
Back at the prison:
the routine was simple. Food served early. Zuko refused to eat it and Aang followed the example. Azula usually cam by to 'play' with her prisoners. that usually involved allot of pain. For Aang at least. After a day or so Zuko became accustomed to it. But of course Azula couldn't stand that. So she came up with a new plan.
"Guess what Zuzu. Father's men came up with a new torture plan. It only works on the emotionally harmed. It's meant to make people talk. It hasn't really been tested before on anyone but water benders and that didn't work out so well. It's supposed to be even stronger on fire benders but father is willing to take that chance. So Zuzu what do you think?" Azula smirked
"Great Zula. I can't wait. The old stuff was getting tedious." Zuko said returning the smirk at Azula old nick name.
"I promise. When you return you wont be smiling." Azula said. "I'll ready the machine." and with that Azula left.
"Zuko what's she going to do?" Aang nervously asked
"Ah something with making me live through all the painful moments of my life again. Sadly, Ozai knows me pretty well. I wont physically break down but I don't know how I'm gonna get through this" Zuko said. Aang nodded.
"I haven't had to many bad experiences but I can imagine." Aang responded.
"Right. I'm just gonna hope for the slight chance it doesn't work." Zuko said.
