Fic - Burnt Sapphires - Chapter 3 - Names
Description: It truly is the crossroads of destiny. Avatar Aang has fallen in Ba Sing Se, and not in the avatar state. The new avatar will be born into the water tribe, but Azula has a plan to end the avatar cycle; a plan that involves a certain waterbender. Katara is taken to the Fire Nation and held captive, but could something blossom between her and Zuko? S2 zutara, romance, angst, hurt, adventure.

Excerpt:
She cannot sleep.
Not that she expects to. Not with the drunk yells of workers constantly invading her eardrums and the uncomfortable pain of the cuffs digging into her wrists and ankles. Not with the memories of Aang haunting her brain and the fears of what is ahead clouding her mind. Her eyes are drowsy and almost painful to keep open, but she cannot close them with all these people that she does not trust around her. Letting her eyelids blacken her vision would be stupid, and letting herself drift off into sleep would be idiotic.
So she forces her eyes open and stares at her feet, shoes worn and muddy, her left leg stained pink from either Azula and Zuko's firebending.
What are Sokka and Toph doing right now? She wonders.
They're probably grieving over Aang, and worried sick for her. She has not heard from them since she was thrown in the Crystal Catacombes, so they could be anywhere right now. They could be in danger! It's probable, but she pushes away the thought. The fall of Aang is already a disaster, she does not need to add to her emotional baggage.
Who knows? Maybe they're looking for her right at this moment; maybe they'll swoop down on Appa right now and rescue her.
Wishful thinking.
Her eyelids begin to droop again and it takes more effort to keep them open, but she must. Everyone here is her enemy, and she needs to remember that.
