I do not own Avatar, sadly

Prologue

Surrendering For A Loved One

Three Days Later...

Aang was chained up by his arms and legs between two pillars, decorated with Golden Dragons wrapping around it. His shredded clothes hung loosely from his body. His head was down so that his chin nearly touched his chest. His breathing was ragged and stomach growling and throat quenching of thirst. The only people who came in the Room was Captain Xu and one of his guards to interrogate him. The guard had slashed his back with fire whips, trying to make him cooperate. He had four long scars travel around his back, beginning to get infected. Aang heard the door open and lifted his head up to see a figure in the shadows.

Aang stared at the figure, trying to make out who it was, "What do you want? I told you I won't cooperate, you can whip me however many times you want, I won't help the Fire Nation." he told the figure.

"I suggest you Cooperate, Avatar." the figure said as they walked out the shadows.

Aang's eyes widened as Azula walked out of the shadows, "Azula." he growled, his eyes filled with anger. He showed anger but was scared on the inside. His helpless body stood in front of the worlds most powerful Firebender.

"Yes, young Avatar. Now, will you agree to cooperate, or not?" She asked him.

He growled, You're sick and twisted Azula! I will never agree to help you, I won't turn my back on the world." he shouted.

"I was hoping you'd say that" she said as she motioned the guards to approach.

"Let me go!" shouted a familiar voice.

"No." he whispered to himself, already trying to broke free of the chains.

Two guards walked in, having a difficult time as Katara fought between every step, she was swing her legs back and forth, trying to kick the guards and swinging her fists violently. Her clothes were torn, and her hair was all messy, as if she had a boar-q-pine in her hair.

"She is quite beautiful for a filthy peasant, isn't she Avatar?" Azula asked. Katara whipped her head aside to see Aang chained up.

"Aang!" she cried out, water filling her eyes. Azula walked over to her and put her arm around Katara's neck.

Aang couldn't believe she was here. I heard the guards say that they escaped on Appa, how could she be here?

Azula made a small blue flame form in her fingertips, "Such a beautiful face, It would be sad to see it get burned." Azula threatened.

"NO, DON'T TOUCH HER" Aang shouted, struggling more than ever to break free.

Azula ignored his pleas as she began moving her fingers closer to Katara's face. It was just millimeters away when Aang finally spoke up.

"STOP! ALRIGHT, I'LL COOPERATE. JUST DON'T HURT HER!" Aang yelled, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Now, wasn't that easy." Azula said, she let go of Katara's neck as the guards grabbed her again.

"AANG DON'T DO THIS, I LOVE YOU!" she told him, struggling more than ever to break free of the guards grips, she was able to punch one in the face and tried to break free of the other guard's grasp when another guard grabbed her arm and twisted it, nearly breaking it. Katara screamed and began to cry.

"YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T HURT HER" Aang shouted, struggling to break free. He finally stopped when he felt a sharp pain in his back. Azula was using a fire whip on him. She whipped him four times before she finally stopped.

Aang looked straight into Katara's eyes, "I know you do Katara, and that's why I'm doing this, I can't let you get hurt." he confessed.

Azula looked at Katara, "You should be thanking your boyfriend, thanks to him, you will live to see the rest of your life."

She looked at Aang in the eyes as she was dragged out of the room, her Fiance, her soul mate, her one true love, was now in the hands of Azula's twisted mind. The door shut right as she was dragged out of the room, she stopped struggling as she was thrown back into her prison cell. The guards walked back to the room where Aang was being held.

A Dai Li Agent walked up to Azula, as she exchanged a glance at him, "How long will it take to erase his mind Ryu?" she asked the Agent.

"Considering we have to erase about sixteen years worth of memories, I would say it will take about six months." Ryu answered.

Azula nodded, "And how long to re-program the Avatar?" she asked

"To re-program him to think he's fire nation and teach him firebending, instead of his Nature Element, it could take up to two years to re-program him to think he's Fire Nation and teach him all our customs. And the other year will be used programming him to know all sorts of firebending techniques. It is a very hard process, to erase sixteen years of memories." he finished.

"What about the Water Tribe girl? Could she be useful In speeding up the process?" Azula asked.

"No, to be safe, I wouldn't suggest it. At most it could help him remember faster, thus, slowing down our progress."

"Alright, once we have erased his memory and programmed him to think he's Fire Nation, how long until we can tell him he is a Fire Avatar?"

"To be safe, I would say after four years of thinking he was born Fire Nation, we should be able to tell him he's the Avatar and teach him the other two elements." Ryu finished.

"Excellent. We have such a marvelous plan this time. It took three years of planning, but it finally paid off." Azula finished. She walked out of the room and slowed down briefly to whisper to the guards, "Kill the water tribe girl."

Four Hours Later...

Katara awoke slowly, having a large headache. She sat up to see Iroh, Zuko, Sokka, Hakoda, and Toph all sitting on Appa's saddle.

Zuko jumped up, "Katara, you're awake!" he exclaimed.

Sokka then crawled over to her, "Are you okay?" he asked her.

"Yea, I...I think I am." She looked around the saddle, "Hey, where's Aang!" she asked.

Zuko, Sokka, Iroh, and Toph all shook their heads. Then Iroh spoke up, "We couldn't get to him Katara. I am sorry, I was only able to get Zuko, Sokka, and Toph free, then Azula's guards ambushed us, we barely got out alive." he told her.

"How did you even get here Iroh?" she asked.

"I got there only moments before they were going to kill you all, I had to free you all, and by the time I made it to Aang's cell, we were ambushed. We had to leave immediately, or we would all die." he told her

"We have to go back, their torturing him!" Katara shouted.

"Katara, we can't go back, not in the condition we're in. We tried our best to get to him, plus we had to carry you most of the way since the guards had knocked you out in your sleep." Zuko explained.

"Shut up Zuko! You probably enjoyed seeing Aang in chains! They're torturing him and it's all cause of me!" she shouted, rolling up into a ball and crying. "I'm sorry Zuko, it's just...I already miss him." she explained.

"Its okay Katara, we're sorry we couldn't free him, it took us forever just to find his cell." Hakoda explained.

Katara moved to the far side of the saddle as she cried herself to sleep, while everyone moved back to their original positions.

"We are gonna go back to Gaoling, atleast until we are ready to find Aang." Sokka told Toph.

Toph nodded, "I'm sure my parents won't mind letting you guys stay for a few months." she explained.

Hakoda looked over at Katara, who was still sobbing. He couldn't help but want to go over their and try to calm her down, but he figured it was best not to.

Katara cried Every Moment she though of him,

Her one True Love was now in Azula's Hands

And She wasn't able to help him.

Katara swore to herself:

"I will Find Aang!"
