ZuTara - I Never Thought I'd Love You!

Chapter 1 - Hatred (Katara's POV):

It's been a hundred years since the firenation attacked. I had heard rumors that the Avatar's location was here on the South Pole and I was eager to find him, so that he would stop the evil reign of Ozai.

It was a normal day in my village and me and Sokka were trying to find the Avatar. Suddenly, we heard screams. They were coming from the village. We rushed to see what was going on.

When we got there everything was in flames! It was the firenation's prince and his army. Our warriors were desperately fighting the firebenders. I tried to run into battle but Sokka stopped me.

"WAIT! What are you doing, you can't just rush into battle..."

"I will never turn my back on people who need me! Especially not on the people I love and care about! Sokka, please, you have to let me go, I have to do this."

He smiled and said:

"You didn't let me finish – you can't just rush into battle, "alone", little sis!"

"Thank you, Sokka. You are the best brother ever."

"I already know that! Now let's GO!"

The fight continued for about 15 minutes. After that, the firenation prince – Zuko, came out of a ship and ordered his soldiers to stop.

My people were very badly injured. As Zuko came out he asked:

"I have heard that the Avatar is in this village. Surrender him now or face the consequences."

I couldn't stand him, I was so frustrated that I went forward and started shouting at him:

"How dare you come here and attack us without any evidence about the Avatar."

"Silence, peasant! Tell me all you know about him and I won't destroy this village, or do you want me to burn it down along with the people?!"

"We don't know anything about the Avatar! And if you haven't heard, he's been gone for over a hundred years. We tried looking for him but with no luck. You should leave now."

"- You're a very loud mouthed girl, aren't you?!" – he grinned.

"Why youu… haaaa…" - I ran at him and tried to hit him as hard as I can, but he grabbed me by the wrist and turned me round. As he was holding my hands behind my back he whispered:

"The next time you attack somebody, try not to get yourself caught, peasant."

Then he pushed me on the ground and ordered his soldiers to start searching for the Avatar. Then he looked at me and said, with a grin on his face:

"Well, I guess we'll be staying a while, after all. And as for you…you better not try anything funny while we're here, or else."

"Or else what?" – I asked – "You're going to burn me alive or maybe you'll kill me singlehandedly?! You're nothing but a heartless monster!"

"That's it! Since you like getting into trouble so much, I guess you'd like spending some time in the cells, until I think about what I'll do with you. Take the prisoner to the ship!"

"No, noo…let me goo!"

"Katara…"- Sokka shouted and ran at Zuko – "You bastard, let my sister go!"

Zuko hit him and he fell unconscious.

"Sokka! You're going to pay for this." – I shouted with tears falling from my eyes. Zuko looked at me and his evil grin slowly faded as I was dragged on the ship.

As I was lying on the cold floor of the cell, I thought of Sokka. What was he doing now, was he okay? The image of him falling unconscious after Zuko hit him was repeating in my mind. I cried for a while after I finally fell asleep.

I could still hear Zuko's soldiers searching around. The thought of them hurting my loved ones was unbearable!
