Hello! I know I left the last chapter in a cliffy so here's the next one! Enjoy!
Chapter 6:
Kataras POV:
I awoke with a terrible pounding in my head. Ugh. It feels like I had been hit with a ton of bricks. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was in an all wooden prison cell chained to the side of the wall. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. My cell door opened and I came face to face with Zhao. He turned to his guards.
" Unshackle her and bring her to my office." He then left abruptly. There were only two so I could probably take them. As I started to become alert, Memories of last night came flooding in. Zuko burning me, then us kissing in the river. I have to escape to free him or find him. My heart started to beat fast knowing that Zuko might be in harms way.
As soon as they unshackled me I immediately used the nearest source of water which so happened to be a pitcher on the table I am presuming was for me. Well, no matter. I froze the fire benders hands and feet to the ground and took off running down the hallway just to be knocked down by something.
Zuko's POV:
" You know, Zuzu, you should really start believing what dad says about you. You know, how your lucky to have been born. Zhao has plans for your water bender peasant." said Azula pacing in front of me. She smiled a mischievous smile, and then was called out of the room. " Oh. I will be back in an hour, Zuzu. I have important things to be doing. Sorry, your just not one of them." Then she left the room locking the door. I banged my fists on the metal wall. What does she mean Zhou has plans? How could I let them get a hold of Katara? I knew I had to escape but how? I quickly surveyed the little cell and looked at the ceiling. An air vent. Not glamorous but it will have to do. I grabbed onto the grate and pried it off vent. I pulled myself up into the vent and started crawling not knowing where I was going. All of a sudden the vent floor gave in and I fell on top of someone.
I opened my eyes, and saw those beautiful blue eyes. " Katara," I said. She smiled and gave me a tight squeeze not letting go for a couple seconds. I gladly returned it playing with her hair. When she pulled away, I brought her chin back to my face and gave her a quick peck on the lips. She blushed and stood up dusting herself off.
" We have to get out of here, Zuko," Katara said quietly.
" I know i'm working on it," I replied. I started to deeply think about what we could do. I looked down the hallway and saw an opening. I quickly grabbed Kataras hand and we ran as fast as our feet could carry us. When we reached our destination there was at least 40 soldiers blocking the war baloon off of the boat. I looked over at Katara and smirked, she returned the smirk and we started to throw punches of our element. Eventually, we reached the war balloon. I manually took over and we glided off of the dreaded fire nation boat.
