Also, I don't believe in Kataang, so if you do, you came to the wrong place... THIS IS ZUTARA BABY! Lol, I'm just rambling now... but yeah! Hope you enjoy my story. (:

CHAPTER 1

STOLEN AND BROKEN

After faking the Avatar's death, the Gaang needed a way to infiltrate Fire Nation territory. After all, they were fugitives in the Fire Nation.

The Duke and Pipsqueak stayed on Appa, flying above, while the rest attempted to capture the fire navy ship now below them. Appa flew directly above the ship, leaving enough time for Aang, Sokka, Hakoda, Toph, Katara, and Bato to jump off onto the ship. Not soon after they landed, Fire Nation men, hearing a loud 'thud!', gathered on the deck on the bow of the ship to find out what cause the ruckus, leading them to attack.

All of them fought hard, using their bending and non-bender fighting skills, and eventually they were close to winning this battle. Soon they started to grow tired, and another ship docked up against the ship they had thought they captured. They were able to fight the Fire Nation men off... at first. It all started to become too overwhelming for all of them. Especially Katara. For an unknown reason, more men surrounded her than the rest of them; she couldn't see her friends through the mass of men around her. She realized she was running out of water real quickly, and began to use her sweat to bend. Water whipping a few of the men, she almost cleared a path to run. As she started after her friends, needing help, a Fire Nation guard grabbed her wrist from behind. yanking her back hard enough to throw her onto the ground. Even as she kicked and screamed at the hysterical men, on melted metal on her wrists, harmfully binding them together. She writhed in the man's arms as he tried to carry her away from her friends.

Sokka heard Katara's cries coming from where a bunch of Fire Nation men were. He ran forward, also realizing that the men were running back to their bigger ship, leaving the fight.

"Katara!" He screamed after her. He sprinted as fast as he could, but it wasn't enough. He skidded to a stop as a Fire Nation soldier burnt the bridge to nothing, right when he reached the edge. Sokka's face went blank as his knees buckled, and he fell to the hard ground with his weight piling onto his knees. He hung his head in his hands, cursing and crying out that he lost his sister to the Fire Nation. Just like his mom.

Sokka looked up as the ship started to sail away on a different course. He spotted Katara crying and screaming for him as multiple guards ran over to aid the man who carried her, and helped hold her down in his arms. She called the guards cowards and cursed at them; told them to fight her with their bare hands, but they just laughed at her.

"We'll get you back, Katara! I promise." He screamed out to her, as she could barely hear him. Sokka ran over to the room in which he could guide the ship to her, while attempting to force everyone to help.

"Why won't anyone help me!" Sokka cried out, slamming his calloused hands, from fighting, against the wheel. Bato came over, resting his hand on Sokka's shoulders.
