I own nothing, other chapters will be posted soon
I sat staring out my window hoping that I would not see that ship pull up today. You think after having this arranged marriage to Zuko at the age of three I would not hate going to the Fire Nation so much but I do. This is my last summer before I marry that jerk. I never thought I would wish that I was younger but I do now.
Oh in case you were wondering my name is Katara, I am fifteen and the Water Tribe Princess. I live with my wonderful grandmother and my annoying older brother for three fourths of the year. Then I live with my idiot of a betrothed for the other fourth. Well as you can probably tell I was betrothed, at birth to Zuko, the fire nation prince. As the majority of the adults would put it I was sort of given to him as a gift, a sort of peace offering between the two nations. The Fire Nation said I was given to their son or my country better prepare for war. I never understood that because they don't like me anyways but they're adults and indecisive.
Anyways I am headed to the Fire Nation for the summer soon hoping and praying to the moon spirit, that the ship with him on it does not come today. Zuko comes and gets me every year says hello then doesn't talk or see me again until he drops me off in the fall and says good bye. Maybe if I knew him I would not hate him so much but I don't, so I do. Oh crap there is the ship I knew it would be today.
Gran Gran and Sokka wait for me by the ship as always. I hug them both, then bow to prince jerk face walk past him and on to the ship, wave to Uncle on my way to the room I know is mine until we get to the Fire Nation. Uncle is technically Zuko's uncle but he insists upon me calling him uncle as well he is a rather strange man bald sort of stumpy but nice enough, one of the only nice ones in the Fire Nation. I have, had the same room on the same ship since I was six so well this room is very me. Blue everywhere and there was porcelain dolls on the walls when I was younger but thanks to Zuko at age eight those are not there anymore.
The ships engines started and we were off, I swear anyone in a five mile radius of us would have heard these engines. Once again I knew I would not sleep on this ship as always. Strangely enough I know more than sat down at my desk then someone knocked on my door. I got up and walked to open it, It was Azula, Zuko's brat of a sister. For being my age she's a whole lot taller than me and a lot stronger than me. She said
"My Uncle and brother wish to see you in Uncle's office." Then strangely enogh she turned and walked away. I was left wondering what they wanted, and even more confused about why Azula didn't make some sort of rude comment to me. Well that would have to wait off to see Uncle and my evil fiancé.
Uncle's office is round with a huge war map hung on one rounded wall the rest are bare, there is a square metal table in the center of it, where at this point in time Zuko and Uncle were both sitting and arguing over something most likely me. Then they both looked up at me and gestured for the seat opposite both of them. Then they told me since Zuko's mother did not think we were getting along well enough, I was thinking it does not take a genius to figure that out, she is sending us on vacation together when we get to the Fire Nation. I almost screamed right there and then, but I contained myself. They went on to tell me that we would be going alone; I sat and thought, that this would be the absolute perfect time to kill the annoying jerk. Until I saw the look on his he looked actually happy to be going with me I wanted to puke. What had changed since last year when he was giving me dirty looks? We all soon departed I ran back to my room and screamed I was sure they heard me.
One week alone stuck with him on some island his family owns what a disaster. Especially with that look he just gave me like he was literately going to eat me.
