Zutara

Prologue

Katara's POV

His eyes watched my every move, glancing up and down my form. We in the gang had not bathed for days in fear that we would be captured by the Fire Nation, so I knew I looked atrocious. My hair was tangled in its own tangles, and my face had smudges of dirt on it from falling just moments ago. I didn't look down at my clothes, for I knew that they were barely holding onto my overly-thin body. I had no meat on my bones because we went without food for several days, and we knew that we had to survive.

He slowly approached me… his strong and forceful body held high in pride for the colors he wears and the name given to him by the Devil himself. I despised him ever since Ba Sing Se I have not trusted him for his betrayal. Everyone believes of his "transformation", but I don't. Not one bit…

"Katara," his voiced whispered as soft as silk. I turned from him.

"Katara," he spoke once again. Shivers ran down my spine. I ignored them.

"Katara, look at me."

"Why should I?" You defiled my family, forced me from my own home, and your nation took my family and ripped it to shreds.

"Because I need you…"

I turned and glared at him, however, my heart skipped a beat unconsciously to his slight whispered voice. He was staring at me, his pure golden eyes was melting my hard shell form around me. They were silently speaking to me as if reaching to my soul. Tearing my eyes from his stare, I slowly walked away…

Something held onto my hand, pulling me back. It was warm and it felt safe to me… Looking down I saw it was a pale and calloused hand. His hand…

"Katara, please look at me…"

I turned my head around and look straight into his molten eyes, enticing me to look at them forever. Yet, I looked away. Suddenly I felt a pull, and I was sent into his well chiseled chest. I could hear his heart beating to the rhythm like that of a drum… Ba-Dum, Ba-Dum…

"Katara…"

I looked up… My heart beat wildly as I gazed into his beautiful golden eyes.

"Katara, I lo-, "

A lightning bolt struck out from behind him, its amazing light shone throughout on his gorgeous skin, making it glow. But as lovely things can be it can turn deadly too…

The bolt shot through his body, ripping it from me. He was dead…

"ZUKO!"

I should have been happy, but I couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my face. Then a loud crack was heard and I stared down the next bolt of lightning down as it then entered my body…

I woke up, sweating…
