Push and Pull
Prologue
Disclaimer: I own literally nothing.
Katara's POV
He'd been reaching for Aang when it all went wrong.
Katara had pulled water from the Spirit Pond and had sent it forward in a blast to knock Zuko away from him. She'd triumphed when she saw that he was moving too slowly, and she knew he wouldn't be able to block it. She'd expected him to go flying, and was already pulling more water to her so she could encase him in a frozen prison. But the water was no longer under her control. The water she'd pushed at Zuko didn't strike him—no, it didn't even seem to touch him. It flew right past him, and she watched with open-mouthed surprise when it circled around him and crashed into his side, pushing him straight into waters of the Spirit Pond.
She moved, automatically reaching towards him in surprise, the water she'd bended to imprison him forgotten. The pond swallowed Zuko into its depths, but the water had left Aang alone and he sat meditating, his eyes and tattoos glowing a searing blue. She'd managed a single step before the water came for her. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a rush of water come for her and raised her arms to fight it off, but the water caught her arms and pulled. Katara saw two large waves reach out to envelop her as she fell, and before they crashed over her, she cried out.
"Aang!"
Happy Zutara Week 2015! (even though this story has nothing to do with that...)
Now, I haven't finished Legend of Korra yet (it's just not the same as ATLA...), but I know there's stuff about Spirit Portals in there. The Spirit Oasis wasn't supposed to be one (I think) and they're all supposed to be closed anyway during ATLA, but I made sure that the situation above still works! I'll explain next chapter, or as the story continues.
Reviews would be appreciated, though I know I haven't given you much at all to review, haha. The story has to start somewhere, right?
