[A/N] Okay…..so….. This is just a random little scrap of an idea that I got today. I'm not sure exactly where I got it from, but it's a Zutara piece. "Ember" is their unborn daughter that Katara is pregnant with. This is basically a nightmare that Katara has stemming from her worries about not being able to take care of her future child and losing the ones she loves most.

Where-Where am I? There is nothing around me, just swirling eddies of dark gray fog, obscuring anything more than 3 feet away. "Mama? Mama? Where are you?" A small voice calls out from somewhere around me. Instinctively, I know it's my child. My little Ember.

"Over here, Ember! Where are you?" I whip my head left and right, reaching my hands out. "Where are you?"

"Help me, Mama, I'm scared."

I try to push the fog out of the way. My breathing grows faster and faster. I scream into the unyielding fog. Why won't it let me see? "Ember! Ember! Ember!" My voice eventually gives out to weak, helpless sobs. "Ember... my precious Ember..."

Finally, I see Ember. Ember's a little girl with a delicate face, blue eyes, and raven colored hair reaching all the way down to her back. She looks like her father. She reaches out to me. So close to reaching her. So close.

A flash of silver.

Ember gasps and jerks sideways, her lifeless eyes staring back at me. My mouth opens in a silent scream. The hooded figure in front of me speaks, its voice neither male nor female, neither young nor old.

"Everything you love will burn with you."

A circle of fire surrounds me. Through the flames, I can see someone. Zuko. He's trying to claw his way through the fire, as if it's something tangible. He shouts my name over and over again, trying unsuccessfully to reach me. "Katara! Katara! Katara!" My eyes never leave his face, his beautiful face, until the flames swallow me, and I see no more.
