Hey guys, new chapter. I'm really sorry this is so short, and i'm sorry for it cutting from scene to scene. i tried to write more, but it's hard. Cooler chapters to come, i guess. Hope you like it, please review.
Disclaimer: I don't own ATLA or LOK
Zuko hasn't seen Katara for almost three hours. While searching for Katara, he was also seeking out Sokka, see if he knows anything. It's not like Katara to just disappear for three hours and not let anyone know. Zuko also noticed he hasn't seen Naoki or Kaskae either.
Rounding the corner of a street, Zuko knocked heads with another man. "Hey, watch it-" Sokka stopped shouting when he saw Zuko. "Hey! I was just looking for you."
Zuko rubbed his head. "I can say the same; have you seen Katara lately?"
Sokka shook his head, glancing behind him. "I was going to ask you that, but I also haven't seen Naoki, Kaskae, or Sakida."
Sakida? "Where could she be?"
"I don't know, but if all four of them are missing, it can't be good." Sokka sighed, staring at the floor.
Zuko placed a hand on his shoulder. "We'll find them, but let's not go around asking people where they are, people might get suspicious and I don't need your father breathing down my neck again trying to find Katara."
Sokka smiled. "Let's go see if Aang knows anything, then we'll take a ride on Appa and see if we can't spot them from above."
Zuko agreed, following his best friend.
"Why can't we bend this stuff?" Naoki asked, feeling claustrophobic in the tiny space. "What is it?"
Katara didn't know for sure. "It matches the color of her blood, but it's also very dangerous, don't touch it with your bare skin."
They were surrounded by the unusual frozen purple material, and couldn't escape it. Katara tried beating against it with her fists-gloved-but didn't get very far. This stuff was rock solid, they couldn't break it.
"How are we going to stop Sakida now?" Naoki asked, kicking the wall with her own boots. "No one knows we're out here, who's going to help us?"
Katara sighed. "I don't know, but we can't stop trying."
Zuko was going to freak out. "Where could she be?" He hasn't found Katara after five hours of searching. Nightfall arrived about an hour ago, and people were beginning to turn in for the night. That meant Hakoda was going to blurt out questions, in which Zuko couldn't provide answers.
Zuko nearly jumped out of his chair when the door to the antechamber opened up to reveal the last person he wanted to see. One again, it was:
Sakida.
Zuko stood, lighting his fists on fire. "Where is she?" He demanded, knowing Sakida had something to so with Katara's disappearance. Sakida simply walked to the nearest couch, and took a seat. She poured herself a cup of tea, brought it to her lips, blew on it, and took a sip.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She replied, acting innocent. Zuko glared at her for moment, before taking a seat on the opposite couch from her. If someone were to walk in, it would appear strange for him to be firebending.
"I was hoping you'd know where Katara is," He tried playing the nice card, just like her, but he wasn't very good at it.
Sakida pretended to think hard. "Hmm, you know, I do remember her and Naoki taking that mutt of yours for a walk, maybe if you track down their footprints, you'll find something." She smirked into her tea cup.
"Do you know what happened to them?"
"Why yes, I began to follow them because I was in dire need to speak with Katara about wedding preparations."
"What did you do?" Zuko demanded.
"I simply took care of my problem, by moving them out of the way."
Zuko was about to blow a fuse.
Again, I REALLY apologize for the short chapters and scene skips. I tried my best. Hope you liked it, hopefully i can write a longer chapter next time.
Please Review!
