DISCLAIMER: don't own AVATAR.
I'm gonna get so ing killed for writing this by the Zutara fans. BUT THIS IS ZUTARA, SO DON'T KILL ME YET!
But the ages don't change. Zuko is 16, Katara is 14, and Sokka and Azula are 15.
But Zuko was never banished or scarred.
AU. Aang, the Airbending Avatar, never ran away, and was killed with all the other airbenders. The Avatar was reincarnated to the Northern Water Tribe, but was killed when the Fire Nation laid siege to it nearly a century ago. Now, the Fire Nation is trying to find the Avatar in the Earth Kingdom, but have failed so far. And now, Zhao and Prince Zuko come to the South Pole, where they both meet Katara. And something goes horrifically wrong…
Prologue
"Prince Zuko…" Fire Lord Ozai said with a poisonous grace. The sixteen-year-old Prince looked up at his father, who sat behind his wall of flames.
"Yes, Father?" He asked.
"Admiral Zhao is going to the South Pole, for there have been rumors of Water Tribe Warriors preparing to go to war. I want you to go with him." Zuko nodded, then lowered his eyes to the floor.
"And, see if there are any decent women down there." Ozai chuckled.
"But I highly doubt it. Now, go and prepare." Zuko nodded, rose to his feet, and bowed.
"Yes, father."
"Are we getting near the South Pole?" Zuko asked Zhao. The Admiral nodded.
"It'll merely be a day now.
Good.
Zuko thought darkly. He hated the cold. It drove him insane. He was eager to get the hell back home.
The Prince left Zhao on deck, and went to his room to meditate.
Zuko, followed by Zhao and soldiers, walked down the gangplank. His eyes scanned the group of women and children who stood near the bottom, all cowering in fear. For some reason, it didn't give him the sheer pleasure it did his father and sister.
Zuko looked at the faces of each woman, when his eyes landed on possibly the youngest woman there. Great Agni, she was beautiful.
"Men, surround the women." Firebenders immediately huddled the women and children into a tight circle at Zhao's order. Zhao noticed a young girl among them, and smirked. He walked up to her, grabbed her roughly by the arm, and led her away.
"LET HER GO!" Zhao looked up to see a young boy in face paint charging at him, a spear in the boy's hands aimed for his heart. The Admiral quickly broke the sharp end of the spear, and punched the boy in the gut, sending him back several feet, where he lay sprawled in the snow.
"SOKKA!" The girl cried, reaching out for her brother. Zhao looked at the girl, then pulled the crying girl along.
The girl looked to him, her eyes wide and full of tears, begging him to help her. Zuko remained still as stone, not doing anything to help her.
That night, Zuko was plagued with nightmares of Zhao raping that poor girl.
The Fire Nation stayed at the South Pole for several days, checking for the Water Warriors. But the only one they could find was the young boy who had tried to attack Zhao.
Zuko was doing a check on the ship, and when he arrived at the prison cells, he found the girl from a few days ago, locked up and sobbing, stripped to her underclothes.
He shook off the urges when he saw just how beautiful she really was.
"What's wrong?' Zuko asked, unlocking the cell and walking in. The girl looked up at him, and held her hands in front of her face, trying to keep him away. Zuko noted how she was chained to the wall.
"I'm not going to hurt you." He said gently, and knelt next to her. She sniffled.
"That, that man. The Admiral, he, he raped me."
