Hi guys. This is a little mini series I'm working on while waiting for my other story, Avatar: The Last Empathy to get some reviews. I want you to know that I might not be updating that much either, because tomorrow I have school, and I'm always busy with acting class, another school thing, and having to go somewhere for my sister, and I have a big project in Force and Motion that my ENTIRE GRADE is doing, so I want to get working on that. Also cause I want extra credit for decoration :D.

So, with that being said: LET'SAGO!

Prolouge: The Raid

Katara's POV

"Oh hello Katara, nice to see you again." Iroh said. I was very overwhelmed. I had a newborn baby in one hand, tons of clothes for the baby in another, and clothes and food in my backpack I was carrying.

"Hello Iroh. May we stay here for a while? I promise I will pay rent! Anything please! I'll work at the tea shop! Just please, I need to take care of a baby, and I can't take of her living on the streets!" I begged. My daughter, the baby, started to wail. Everyone in the Fire Nation village there was watching me, either with smirks, or horrified faces, or looks of concern wanting to help a poor girl in the that doesn't belong here raise her daughter properly. Did I care? No. Did Iroh care? Of course not, when has he ever?

He had a frown, but it turned into a smile and he welcomed me in. We made it up the stairs into the second bedroom he had above the tea shop. I settled down the baby, closed the door, and reclothed both of us, and out of our dirty rags. I cuddled up with her, and we both fell asleep. Well, until she woke me up with her crying and Iroh asking if I wanted some tea. "No thanks for now Iroh, maybe later!" I said. I opened my button-up shirt and let her feed. I contemplated on my actions. I slept with Zuko, we were drunk, just to clarify, I told my brother I was pregnant, and he and Aang went nuts, they actually banished me from coming on Appa ever again, and when I gave birth, Zuko sent out people to try and capture me, and the baby. I wiped those thoughts our of my mind when my baby caught my fingers and preceded to suck on it. I giggled, and kissed her tiny nose. She made a gurgling sound, and I laughed, hugging her to my chest. I then contemplated about what I would name her. I always liked Water Tribe names, and all the girls in my family have had a k beginning her name. I decided to break that chain by naming her Ezmi, meaning empathy. I closed up my shirt and went downstairs, where Iroh was closing up shop, having a tray of tea and pastries out.

"Ah, Katara, come join me for some tea and cookies, I just closed up shop."

I smiled and said "Alright." I walked over and Ezmi fell asleep, her head falling sideways. I scoffed, picked her head up, and said "Ezmi, be a lady please. Never have your head hang to the side." I giggled, kissing her tiny forehead. I sat down, tasting a cookie, saying "Iroh! These are soooo good!" I ate some more, and drank some of his Jasmine tea, and I loved it.

I went to bed a while later, when Ezmi started crying. As she started crying a thunder storm went on. When she took a raspy breath, the thunderstorm calmed for a second, then she went on, and it became worse again. I changed her, and as I did, I knew that my daughter was going to be a powerful waterbender.

Ezmi was 7. I had become a waitress at Iroh's shop, and Iroh took care of us. Ezmi always calls him "Grandpa Iroh". I always taught her how to water-bend and she was getting better every day. Before we start her lessons on the riverbank she always says "I'm lucky to have such a great mommy and a great teacher!" and I would always smile at that comment.

Little did I know I would almost never see that smiling face, or hear that comment ever again.

One day Ezmi was playing with a foam sword I bought her at a kid's market. She was near the entrance, as the tea shop hadn't opened yet. I was in the back preparing the trays of food for when service did start. Then Zuko came in.

He came in with his hair down, his armor on, and a bunch of soldiers behind him. So, Ezmi thought it was a good idea to pretend to be a turtle and trip Zuko. He fell, and Ezmi was laughing. I walked up to see what it was, then gasped in horror. I did a water whip, and took Ezmi along with some backpacks full of food and clothes. I stepped over Zuko as Ezmi did a raspberry (A/N: You know phffffffffffft, that kind of stuff) at him. I ran, and the guards caught us. Zuko had gotten up, and he was smirking.

"Well, well. If it isn't Katara. And who's this?" He said.

"E-Ezmi sir." Ezmi said, genuinely scared. She looked like she was about to cry. That made me want to cry.

"Hmm... guards, put her on the prison boat. As for you Katara, you will be my arranged bride." He said, kissing me. I cried and kicked him in the... ahem... not so fun to be kicked parts.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Ezmi. A huge wave went on top of the boat, sending it to crash. The boat stayed perfectly fine. They took Ezmi, who was kicking and screaming, and placed her on the boat. I was dragged by Zuko who was taking me to a seperate boat for "just us"

I never saw Ezmi again... or did I?

DUN DUN DUN! Yes, Ezmi is taken by the Fire Nation. Also I am reading teh Land of Stories series, which is really really good, and there is an Enchantress named Ezmia. I really liked her name, but I think the a at the end was a little much. So, I decided to get rid of the a and use Ezmi. I like it.

Anyway, Review plzzzzzzzz. THOSE WHO REVIEW GET CHOCOLATE COVERED CHOCOLATE WITH A SIDE OF CHOCOLATE COVERED CHOCOLATE!
