Hi! This is my first fanfic. You can be as critical as you want in the review, but keep in mind, I will be mentally kicking your butt. Ok, I hope you like it!
The midnight moon towered above the black sky. Tiny bright lights surrounded it, reaching as far as they could. The Earth Kingdom lay silent, excluding the aggressive splashing coming from a pond behind a kingdom house.
Katara loved the garden behind the house. There were beautiful flowers that outlined the perimeter and inside were tall tree's that provided great shade. The garden calmed her; especially at night. When the small bugs' chirps were the only noise and the moon was high in the sky.
But tonight, Katara didn't notice. Tonight, she didn't care.
She splashed the pond water into the rock wall surrounding the back of the house. She froze it, unfroze it, and splashed it onto the rock again, trying to make a dent.
She was so mad. So angry. She wanted to destroy something, someone.
She dropped the water, not watching for where it landed. Tears started flowing down her face, blurring her vision. She reached out a hand and stumbled towards the nearest tree. She collapsed before she could even get there. Her stomach burned and she felt like vomiting. Her mouth was wide open, and she prayed to Yue she wasn't screaming. She couldn't hear anything; her ears have tuned out everything.
She moved into a fetal position when a wave of nausea came over her. She couldn't stop crying. She tried so hard to, but she couldn't do it.
Strong hands griped her shoulders, pulling her up to her knees. She smashed into the mystery person's chest, most definitely a man, as they wrapped his arms around her. She inhaled his scent, he smelled like a burning spice. Zuko.
She should have punched him, pushed him off her, kick and scream. But she didn't. She just pulled him closer and cried harder.
"Thank you." She sniffed and pulled away from Zuko. She looked down into her lap when she felt his stare on her. He was going to question her, she just knew it.
"Katara," He started. She squeezed her eyes shut, wishing he wouldn't ask.
He didn't.
He pulled her in for a hug. She hugged him back. When they pulled apart, he stood up, turning to go.
No. She thought. Zuko turned around, his brows knit together. Did she say that out loud?
"Don't go." She croaked. She reached out for him as he walked back to her and grabbed her hand. She leaned onto him once he pulled her up.
"Birthday." She mumbled into his shoulder.
"What?" Katara looked into his eyes, which was worryingly looking into hers.
"Today. It's my mother's birthday."
Soooooo? What do you think? Was it good? Should I write a chapter in Zuko's POV?
Review, even if you think it's the crappiest crap in the world. (Which I really hope you don't!)
Oh, and tell me if there are spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes. There shouldn't be because I used spell check, but just in case.
