HEY, ZUTARA4EVA21 HERE AND ITS BEEN AGES SINCE I LAST UPDATED. SUMMER IS HERE WHAT CAN I SAY? NOPE NOTHING! ANYWAYS I STARTED A NEW STORY FOR ZUKOXKATARA AND HOPE YOU SHALL ALL ENJOY~ REVIEW!
The sky was dark above her head. The only thing to provide any light for Katara was from the moon and stars. She kneeled behind a medium size bush that was big enough to keep the fire nation from seeing her. Her blue eyes watched the big metal ship that rested in the slow current of the oceans as it slowly swayed back and forth. Her eyes locked onto the person that caused her to be standing here right now shouting orders out to the guards in armor. The guy was the very opposite of her in element and beliefs. He was the one who took her brother and friend. The one that never missed a chance to catch the avatar.
"Zuko" she whispered his name in cold tone that would have bought chills to anyone as her eyes narrowed. If it was possible they would have burned two holes on the back of his neck. His black shaggy locks blew freely in the light breeze as the guards scurried to there jobs. 'Figure he's even a hot head to his mates' she thought as she silently moved away from the bush and to a tree that was bit closer to the ship.
Katara could see the platform that lead onto the deck a few steps away from where she was now hiding. The voice she heard that was coming from the banished prince let her know he was still up there and she had to wait a bit longer till she could board the ship.
The bag she carried over her shoulders shifted as she turned so instead of her back against the bark of the tree her chest was. She shrugged her right shoulder causing the sliding strap to fall once again in place on her shoulder as the sound of water from her water skin banged against the walls that kept it from falling out.
Impatiently she waited for the deck to clear out so she could make her move. Each second that went by caused her to believe she would be waiting here for days, but when in reality it was a few minutes till everyone cleared it. Katara didn't wait any longer as she pushed herself away from the tree and hurried to the platform. In her rush she snapped open the cap to her water skin readying herself for anyone who would get in her way. Once boarded on the ship she paused to two doorways. One that went down and the other straight. Her mind remembered Zuko going down to the bottom of the ship so she choose to stay on the first floor as she rushed inside.
Her luck ran out. Four guards who were positioned to watch the area spotted her as they ran right after her. She wasn't afraid. She bended a stream of water out of the holder and created a whip. With a blink of an eye the guards where knocked out as she continued ahead. 'They hardly put up a fight' she thought as she laughed silently in her mind.
Room after room she searched through for Sokka and Aang and each time it was either empty or was occupied by someone that she had to defend off. Now she was near the end of her search for the top part of the ship as she tiredly leaned against a wall. Sweat dripped down her face as she wiped it away with the back of her hand. Her eyes shot to the left to lay view on the last door she needed to search. Deep inside she had doubt they were in that room, but she wasn't going to leave it unchecked. Katara let a sigh escape her lips before she pushed herself away from the wall.
'Please be in there' she pleaded in her mind as her hand pushed open the metal door. Slowly it swung open. Slowly her eyes scanned the area and to her disappointment, 'Nothing!' she yelled silently. The room was practically empty except for the commonly seen fire nation banner and another row of stairs that lead down to the bottom of the ship.
"Ugh!" she groaned in annoyance and exhaustion, but she wasn't going to give up. Not till she got her friends back. A sudden shake from the ship caused her to stumble over as she fell onto her knees. Her teeth clenched in frustration and her hands balled into a fist before she pushed herself back up to her feet. 'Damn it the ship is departing' without any other rooms to search on the top floor she headed towards the stairs.
Taking two at a time she reached the bottom in a record of time. Like she has expected they weren't down here either. Her eyes widen when she heard the sound of a door knob turning. They shot onto the metal rectangle that was in front of her for a second before her mind processed the thought to hide. With nothing to really hide behind she ran against the wall so that when the door opened it would shield her from being seen. Her heart pounded against her chest from the running she did as she tried her best to keep her heavy breathing silent. The view of the empty room started to be replaced by the door as it swung towards her. She heard footsteps enter the room and saw the figures shadow. Katara prepared herself for a fight that might happen. Drips of sweat kept falling off her chin as she licked her lips. The wait was killing her.
The sound from up stair was not something you could ignore easily. His hands balled up in a fist as heat rose throughout his body. The thought of his crew mates horsing around when he was in charge of them wasn't something you should challenge. His uncle could see the anger inside of him as he tried to come up with an excuse for why there was yelling and banging noises.
"Maybe they encountered a critter in the ship and are trying to catch it" Uncle Iroh spoke as Zuko exhaled.
"Either way I'm going up there" Zuko responded back. Instead of turning around to take the stairs back up that lead onto the deck he knew of another way. He continued forward leaving his uncle alone in the hallway as he disappeared by taking a right turn into another hallway. An unfamiliar sound stopped Zuko in his tracks. It was a silent banging noise as if someone was running. His gold eyes moved onto the last door in the current hallway he was taking. No doubt it was coming from in there.
He walked over towards the door as he placed his pale hand onto the knob; turning it slightly which caused a quiet creek. The door slowly opened into the room as he stepped inside. Zuko saw nothing out of the ordinary as he continued to walk into the empty room. Then a certain noise rang through his ears. It was a low sound of someone exhaling.
He stopped his walking, standing fully inside the room, his ears listened to the breathing as another familiar sound echoed through him. The door was moving and as on cue he turned sharply around to deflect the attack.
Katara couldn't wait any more. He was just standing there now. She counted in her head to when she would jump at the person as she slowly tried to move the door away from her. When she had enough room to manoeuvre out without failing she jumped at him with her water whip already charging.
Steam was now in her face as well as her opponent's. He had avoided her water whip with his own fire whip causing steam to replace both there weapons. It didn't effect either of them as she already had created ice daggers that was ready to charge at him and he a fire ball that was already rushing towards her. Katara threw her arms out so the ice daggers came at her opponent as she readied for the impact the fire ball would create.
A sound of someone being thrown against the wall was heard, but it wasn't her. Her eyes locked with gold ones as she recognized the scar on the left side of his face.
"Zuko" she spoke his name with a venomous tone. He was pinned against the metal wall of the ship, but a smirk laid on his face. "What is there to smile about?" Katara asked, annoyed with it. "You can't attack me, but I can attack-," she shut her mouth when she realized she wasn't bending anything. Her eyes darted down to where her water skin was suppose to be, but instead wasn't. She quickly turned around to see it burned and laying on the ground as steam rose from it.
'He missed me on purpose!' she shouted in her head when she understood his attention of his attack. Katara spun back around to see him now standing on his two feet as he brushed his sleeves.
"I believe it's the other way around-," he spoke as he created two fire daggers in the palm of his hands. "You can't attack me-," he threw the attacks on her as she tried her best to get away. "But I can attack you" he finished his sentence as he watched her fall to the ground.
