Such as a Prince, King, or Queen.

Past
Sokka, Zuko, and Katara have been friends since they were little. Because Zuko (Has no scar in this story) was royalty he didn't see them much, but his father made an exception for him because he was an only child. Zuko's mother became ill, and was unable to bear children after Zuko.
Sokka and Katara are peasants, but they now live in the Fire Nation and in the palace. The war killed their father, so their mom had to find a job. One day Fire Lord Ozai came to the South Pole and saw their mother. Right then and there he made her his concubine. In a way this was good because her kids will never go hungry, they will have clothes, and they would have a place to stay and a good education, sort of. This is how they met Zuko and became friends.
Fourteen Years Later
Today is Katara's fourteen birthday and they were giving her a relatively small party. It will be just Zuko,Sokka, andSokka and Katara's motherat the party though.
Zuko held his hands over Katara's eyes and when he walked through the door Sokka and their mother, Kari, yelled 'Surprise'. Zuko removed his hand and Katara gasps. The room was decorated in different shades of red and she had so many presents just for her.
She turned around and gave Zuko a hugged. "Thank you, Zuko." She whispers and he felt a sensation, he had never felt before go through his body. Katara let go of him and gave her mother and Sokka a hug. Zuko had watched Katara mature and she turned out to be a beauty. When they hugged he never wanted to let her go, but he knew that he had never had this feeling before.
"Zuko, come on I want to eat my birthday cake, but I can't do it with your stalling." She said.
"Hey, I am a Prince and if I want to stall I can." He said and they all laughed. He ran over to the group and they all sung 'Happy Birthday' to Katara. The party went excellent and it was a blast. It was now night time and the maids were cleaning up their suite that Katara and her family shared.
"So Katara how does it feel to be fourteen?" Zuko asked.
"It feels alright, I guess. It just means one more step from childhood to adulthood." She said.
'It is just like her to say a thing like that. Even though she is younger than me and Sokka, she acts so mature.' Zuko thought. Just then Sokka sat down and was eating a piece of cake.
"Sokka you can not have any more of my cake." She said.
"Why?" Sokka asked with his mouth full.
"Because you have eaten half the cake and I want some left for tomorrow." She said. "Don't answer, finish chewing that piece."
After he finished, he said "Girls."
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing, I'm done and I am going to bed." He said and left Zuko and Katara alone. Zuko got up and said "It is getting late and I have to rise early for my fire bending training." He said.
Katara got up also and said "Thank youforcoming to my party. I really enjoyed myself. For once it was about me and not Sokka for a change."
"Yeah, I guess your right." He said. "I will see you and your brother at the same time tomorrow." He said and she smiled.
'She had such a gorgeous smile.' he thought.
Katara gave him one last hug, before he left. After he left Katara begun to prepare for bed; just as she was getting in her bed, her mother came in and sat on the bed.
"Katara, did you enjoy yourself?" Kari asked.
"Yeah, I did." Katara responded. Kari took her hand and began to smile.
"Mother what is wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing, but you are growing into such a beautiful young lady and to think that you will be able to marry soon. But…" Kari said as she drifted off.
"But what?" Katara asked worried.
"Starting tomorrow you will be attending Concubine lesson, as with your schooling lesson. You will learn and be a concubine." Her mother said.
Well, this is the end of this chapter. Please read and review and tell me what you think of this story. I think it will have ten or eleven chapters.
