I have started writing Prequels; here is a list of them:

A Second First Date; One month after Aang defeated Fire Lord Ozai Aang had decided to take Katara out on a date… It was a special banquet in honor of The Avatar. Once they were there nothing was like it should have been for a first date… Katara didn't even get to sit near Aang. It was such a failure that Aang and Katara decided it didn't count, Aang asked er out on a second first date.

Nightmares; A One-Shot Prequel to Together Again. Aang saved the world, he faced Ozai on his own. Everyone kept saying that he was a great hero, that he was so brave. He wore a brave face and acted all the hero they thought he was. But at night in his sleep he was a scared boy, scared for his life as he tried to get away from a psycho Firebender. The Battle came back at night.

Anila's Story; this is another Prequel to Together Again. It's about a Young Female Airbender just starting out in life. She was ready to travel the world as soon as she turns 16. Little does she know, Destiny has a grand purpose for her first child.

Chapter 108

Aang, Sokka, Zuko, and Haru ran to Aang and Katara's house, when they go there they saw the pouch lying in the puddle that had leaked out of it. Aang stooped as he picked it up. Haru had explained to them about the frightened woman and all already. The four of them scanned the area for any clues that could help them... Unfortunately they found nothing. They went inside to try to come up with something to figure out who would do this to them, and why.

When Aang walked in the house his three children were sitting on the floor playing with their toys. "Daddy, where Mommy?" Gyatso asked.

Aang had no idea how to answer the boy, he didn't want to scare his children, he was scared enough already, so he changed the subject, "Are you hungry?" he asked them. "Let's get you something to eat."

"I'll make them lunch." Jade said. "I'll put on some tea too."

Aang tried his best to keep a happy face so he wouldn't scare the children. Inside him was a storm raging, he had to mentally keep himself in check, if he didn't he could slip into the Avatar State and destroy half of the Fire Nation Capitol.

"I'm going to go get Suki," Sokka said as he walked to the front door, "We are going to need her here with us, she can help Jade with the children." Sokka hurried to the little house provided to him and his family while the Meetings took place.

Sokka burst through the door startling Suki "Sokka is there something wrong?" She asked him seeing the terror on his face.

"We need to go to Aang and Katara's! Help me get some of our stuff together! We need top go now! Aang needs our help!" Sokka said as he ran around collection some of their belongings.

"Sokka, what's wrong?" She asked again, he was scaring her with the way he is acting.

"Someone took her!" He told his wife, he was panicking.

"Someone took who?" Panic was setting in.

"Katara! Someone took Katara!" he yelled. "Aang needs our help; we need to go over there now!"

"Oh Spirits No! The children! Are the children okay?" Suki said jumping up and started to collect Hakoda's belongings.

"The children are fine right now, but Gyatso keeps asking where his mommy is."

When Sokka and Suki got to Aang and Katara's house Suki put Hakoda in the kitchen to have lunch with his cousins. She started helping Jade make tea and snacks for the group of men sitting in a tight circle talking softly so that the children couldn't hear.

"Have you noticed anything strange? Anyone you don't know hanging around this area?" Zuko asked. He felt partly responsible because the kidnapping took place in the fire nation.

"Well Katara told me she had seen a hooded figure down a nearby alleyway several times." Aang answered with his head in his hands. "I didn't think anything of it. Why was I not on guard better? Why did I not look into it? I failed to protect my family!"

"Aang, Katara is strong, she's a fighter. Everything will be okay if we find her soon." Sokka said.

"She's not the ONLY ONE who was taken!" Aang said, tears burned his eyes. "She just told me last night... She's pregnant."

"Oh Spirits Aang! We will find her as fast as we can." Zuko told his friend.

There was a loud knock on the door, everyone looked at each other, and this might be ransom demands or something. Aang stood, took a deep breath wiped his eyes then went to the door and answered it. When Aang opened the door the dark hooded figure was standing before him. "Who are you?! Where's Katara?! What do you want?! Give her back to me!"

From beneath the hood came a VERY familiar monotone voice, "I didn't take her, I had nothing to do with her kidnapping, but I know who did." She said, as she removed her hood.

"Azula!" Aang said taking a fighting stance, "Why should I trust you?"

"Because our mother has been working with her." Came the voice of her brother from behind Aang.

"Because, right now you have no other option." Azula said.

Aang let Azula into his house, "You better not make a single move to harm ANYONE, if you do I will do to you what I did to Ozai."

For a moment Azula actually looked like someone had actually hurt her. "I wouldn't do anything to your precious friends."

Gyatso came out of the kitchen followed by his little sisters who had recently learned to walk. "Where's Mommy, I want my Mommy." the small boy was on the verge of crying.

The look on the little boys face brought Aang's tears back. He knelt down and hugged the boy. "We don't know, but we are doing everything we can to find her." He collected all three of his children in his arms hugging them tightly.

After being thrown into the carriage then suddenly a man jumping on top of her, she wiggled herself as much as she could to instinctively curl her body around her lower abdomen. After a few minutes the man got off of her and pulled her arms behind her and tided them there.

"What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?" Katara yelled.

The man that was on her rolled her over to see her face. "You are a pretty one aren't you?" Katara had her knees against her chest; she was still on the floor of the carriage. The man touched her face softly, "So beautiful."

Katara jerked her head away. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" She screamed.

"You need to be nice before I have to hurt you." He said.

"Hide, you can play with her later, right now she needs to be delivered to General Bujing first." The other man said.

"I just want one little taste, maybe a feel, Chan." Hide said as his hand crept down toward her breast.

Katara jerked away, "I. SAID. DON'T. TOUCH. ME!"

"You are in no place to tell me what to do, you whore! Yeah, we know about the child you bore while you were unmarried, about that bastard airbender."

"Don't you EVER call my little boy a bastard again." Katara said.

"Hey, Hide we are almost to his estate, get her up off the floor, she must look all the 'Lady' she is." Chan scoffed.

Hide pulled her up off the floor of the carriage and made her sit on the seat, he straightened her yellow and red dress, copping a feel as he did so. "Hey she doesn't have any breast bindings on! All the better." He had a wicked grin and licked his lips. Katara glared at him.

The carriage stopped in front of a large gate, Chan opened the door and said "We have her." the guard at the gate nodded then opened the gate, the carriage went in and the gate closed behind them. They came to a stop in front of a large house that looked like it was falling into disarray. Chan opened the door and guided Katara outside where the woman who had been driving took Katara by the elbow and led her into the house.

Katara was led into a large room with a wooden thrown chair that a thin man starting to gray sat. His lips curled into a wicked smile as they entered the room. "Lady Katara, why you quite beautiful. Where are my manners, please sit, I'd offer you tea, but we can't trust a waterbender as powerful as you with any liquid."

"What do you want from me? Why did you have me kidnapped?" Katara said, disdain apparent in her voice.

"We don't want anything from you... We want your husband." General Bujing said. "You see, things are starting to go unmanicured here, actually with all of Fire Lord Ozai's government and military leaders, we are all suffering under Fire Lord Zuko's rule."

"What do you expect my husband to do? Take out Fire Lord Zuko?" She snapped.

"Sweet, beautiful," A hungry look in the man's eyes made Katara feel uneasy, "young woman, we don't want him to take out Fire Lord Zuko, we what him to RESTORE what he took from Fire Lord Ozai. Restoring him to the thrown and all of his loyal followers to the positions we once held."

"Are you crazy? He tried to burn the whole world, he's insane, he can never return to power!" Katara said.

"Ok, Li, I done with her, take her to the lovely room we have set up for her." The man told the woman.

Li walked Katara down a long hall, then down a flight of stairs and into a tiny room in a basement. "I'm so sorry Lady Katara," Li said "my father is not well in the head. He hasn't been since he lost his position when Fire Lord Zuko took the crown. My father hates Fire Lord Zuko; ever since he disrespected my father in the war meeting. Then things got worse when prince Zuko took the thrown and ended the war... No war no job." Li untied Katara's hands, and then left the room, locking the door behind her.

Katara rubbed her wrists she looked for anything she could collect water from... Nothing. She tried to pull water out of the air, still nothing. She sat down on the thin mat on the floor. Aang's floor pillow was softer than this mat. There was a bucket in the corner, which she could only presume to be where she was supposed to go. For the first time since she was taken Katara's mind left survival mode and she thought about her family, about her children and began to cry. Her little ones must be so scared right now, Aang must be going out of his mind. The light outside a small high up window was starting to dim as the sun was setting. She laid down and began to cry so hard that her whole body shook as she cried.

"Suki, you and Sokka can take my room tonight, I'll put the twins in the same crib and you can put Hakoda into the other. I'm not going to be able sleep well, I'll be out here, if I get tired I can lay on the couch." Aang told Suki as it was getting close to dark.

After dinner Aang put his children to bed. They had cried for their Mommy for most of the day, Aang cried with them.

Azula had told them about a Pro-Ozai group was behind the kidnapping, she didn't know where they would have taken Katara but she knew who the guys were that took Katara. She was going to sneak around and try to find out where they might have taken Katara.

Aang sat in the lotus position on the couch. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on Katara, on her energy after a few minutes he could hear her crying, she was crying for him to save her, she was crying for her babies. He couldn't see her he tried to call to her, to try to talk to her but she could not here him. He focused harder and his vision started to come in, Katara was curled up into a ball on a thin mat on the floor of a tiny room with a tiny high up window, he could see a bit of moon light coming into the room. Then everything faded again, he tried to bring the vision back but it refused to obey him.

Katara could have sworn she heard Aang calling to her but everything was silent. She laid down and pulled the thin musty blanket over herself and cried herself to sleep her thoughts focused on her family.

A few hours later she awoke, suddenly aware of someone on the other side of the door. When the door opened the old man came walking in. "Such a beautiful young woman." He said walking over to her.

"Stay away from me!" Katara said as she pressed herself into the corner of the room trying to put as much distance between him and herself.

"I have a proposition for you. I have a cozy fine room upstairs for you... IF... IF you let me have something I haven't had in a long time." He told her.

"You are disgusting! I would NEVER let you touch me!" Katara yelled.

"Well if that's how you feel." He walked over to her and pressed himself against her as he stroked her soft hair and took a handful of it to his nose. "You smell so good."

She pushed him off of her and tried to push and kick at him. "Stay away from me."

He grabbed her hair again bringing her face to his as he forced his tongue into her mouth. She bit him so hard that she spit out a mouthful of blood. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She yelled spitting his blood onto his face.

"You bit me! You bitch, you bit me! You'll be lucky if you get anything to eat or drink for the next couple days!" He slapped her face as hard as he could, leaving a bright red hand print and a cut on her cheek. "Think about what you did... Think about my offer! After a day or so of no food and water, we will see how you feel."

"How I FEEL will never change!" Katara snapped at him.

He left the room locking the door behind himself. He spit out a mouthful of blood. "I can't believe she bit me!" He ranted as he went up to his room to rinsed out the blood.
