CHAPTER 1
We were eating dinner at a cliff by the ocean when Zuko spoke up.
"I know were my mother is." Our heads shot up.
"How do you know, Sparky?" Toph asked after stuffing her face with some jerky.
"Remember when I took a walk earlier today?" we all nodded. "Well, it led to a small town where I found an execution poster for a woman. It had her picture. It was my mom." he said, fists clenching.
"If you want, I can go with you. You helped me confront my mother's killer, so it's my turn to repay you." I said with a gentle smile.
"Thanks, Katara. I'd like that." he returned the smile.
"You guys can take Appa." Aang said looking between us.
"Appa will be recognized. We can take Cyclone. He's a wolf that I rescued when he was a pup. He's been following us actually." I explained.
"So that's why I feel a lot of animal vibrations!" Toph yelled
That night, Zuko and I wore our black outfits we wore to confront my mom's killer, and ran into the woods. We headed in the direction where his mother was on foot. We ended up at a ocean, across of it, we saw a small island. I bended us across.
On the island we hid in the shadows, knocking out a few guards once in a while. We then saw a woman tied to a pole. She was pale like Zuko, with long glossy black hair, wearing earth kingdom clothes. She hung her head in defeat.
"Is that her?"
"Yes." Zuko said trying to keep his voice steady.
"Get your mom. I'll create a distraction."
"I don't need you killed!" he whispered harshly.
"It's a full moon. I'll be fine." I fought the guards as Zuko untied his mother. I ran to them after the guards were down.
"You okay?" Zuko asked. I nodded.
"Who are you?" his mother asked.
"Mom….. It's me….." She studied Zuko's eyes. Her eyes widened.
"Zuko! My son!" she hugged him as I smiled.
"Mom this is my friend Katara. Katara, this is my mom Ursa." he said proudly. We shook hands.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." I said politely.
"And to you. You are a very strong bender."
"Thank you. We better-" I screamed in pain holding my left shoulder. There was a burn covering my whole shoulder.
"Katara!" I turned to my attacker. It was Yon Rha.
