Sadness
(n.) the condition or quality of being sad.
She couldn't believe it. He really did it. She should be feeling anger or fury or betrayal. And she had felt those things… until she remembered the vulnerability that had shown itself on his face when she touched his scar or when he looked her into her eyes and told her that his mother was taken away as well. Now all she felt was sadness for what could have been.
He and his uncle could have joined them and they could have a chance to beat Ozai once and for all. Two firebenders would have been advantageous to their little group of misfits. His uncle would have been the perfect teacher for Aang. The younger firebender would have been her friend and they could have sparred together. Maybe their friendship could have opened a door to something more...
But then his sister came and had to ruin all the new bridges that were being built. And those newly constructed bridges were burned to asked when he decided to fight with her.
Reflecting back on all theses memories had made her furious before. But now she was filled with a sadness that seemed to be making itself at home in her chest. She still couldn't believe that she thought he would ever join them. Or that he'd be nice to Aang. Or that he' change his ways. Or that she trusted him.
Katara promised to herself, as she healed Aang for what seemed like the hundredth time, that the next time Prince Zuko decided to cross her path, she wouldn't be as kind and forgiving towards him as she was back in Ba Sing Se.
So that was shorter than I thought it would be. Honestly I didn't know where I was going with this, but I'll make up for it in the next one!
Remember to Smile :)
