Finding a Mother
Finding a Mother
PREMISE: After The Boiling Rock, Zuko urges the others to leave the Western Air Temple, and as they are doing so, they are captured. But what happens when their captor turns out to be none other than Ursa herself? Although this is a Zuko/Ursa story, this will contain Zutara.
Chapter One
Zuko watched as Katara and Sokka hugged their father, and he hugged them back. For a second, Zuko's heart ached, oh how much he wanted to know what it was like to have a loving father! He quickly shook this feeling off and just stood there and smiled.
He had just joined Team Avatar only about a week ago, so much had happened in only a couple of days; in just that time, he was now friends with the very people he had once hunted and desired to bring to the Fire Nation in chains. However, the water tribe girl, Katara, was trying to make every possible second of his life there miserable. Zuko almost pondered why everyone else was able to except and befriend him, but not her. But he knew the reason why- he had betrayed her trust back in Ba Sing Se.
He was suddenly brought out of his thoughts when he heard the Avatar speak.
"Are you smiling Zuko?"
Zuko turned his head to face the young monk.
"Uh, yeah; I guess I am." He admitted. "I guess it's just nice to actually see a father that loves both his children."
"Aw, wittle evil Zuzu isn't even wuved by his evil dada…" Katara mocked, stepping away from her own father. "I mean, your dad is just so evil and you're just so evil. How can two people who are so alike not get along?"
"Katara, your mother and I raised you better than that!" Hakoda scorned his daughter. "This young man just risked his life to get me, Suki and Chit Sang here out of that prison! So what if he's the Fire Lord's son. He has proven to me that he is very different from his father!"
"Oh really?" Katara retorted. "Did he tell you that he chased us all around the world trying to capture Aang? Did he tell you that he hired a bounty hunter to capture us? That he hired an assassin to kill us? That he betrayed me in Ba Sing Se and helped his twisted put a bolt of lightning in Aang?"
Hakoda gaped at his daughter, his eyes darting from the Fire Nation prince back to his daughter.
"Yeah, he also tied Katara to a tree…" Sokka added, causing Katara to turn a whole new shade of red.
"Thanks, Sokka." Zuko replied. "I always knew I could count on you. Oh, and by the way, I'm glad you're grateful that I helped you."
Zuko then turned and sprinted into his room.
"What?" Sokka asked. "That's not unspeakably horrible, I mean, when I first met Suki, she…" he was cut off by Suki's hand covering his mouth.
"See dad!" Katara spoke up. "He's bad news."
"Katara…" Hakoda replied. "All I know is that there is always 2 sides to a story."
