Chapter 2

How long has it been?

Zuko

I looked at it. I didn't want. Why was it here? Who put it un- Aang. That's where he ran of to. But how? Why would he give it to me? She was his girlfriend after all. If he didn't want it then he could of giving it to Sokka or Hakoda, not me. I questioned myself looking at it. I got up and put it onto my dresser.

I remembered how I feel apart 2 years back.

"Katara!" I screamed. I saw her weak body on the ground. Azula was about to attack when I blew the biggest fire blast I've ever made sending her flying across the courtyard into a wall. It knocked her unconscious. I ran to Katara picking her up into my arms. She groaned so I didn't move her body from off of the ground.

"It's ok Katara I'm going to get you help. Just hang in there." I whispered.

"No."

"What? How could you say that?" She giggled which made me smile. Her face quickly turned from her pain.

"Katara what are you saying?"

"This is it for me." She said slowly trying hard not to hurt herself by just talking. "I have played my part in this war. Now my time is up."

"NO! Katara it's not. You have your life ahead of you! We need you Katara….I need you." She didn't respond.

"Katara you make me smile and you always know what to do. You're just like my mother. You have always cared. And I can't live without you because… well…I think I love you Katara and I need you here with me!"

Then she looked into my eyes. Her big blue sad eyes. I leaned down to kiss her before it was to late. Our lips, just inches away and then…her head dropped down back into my hands and my eyes grew wide.

I don't remember how long I sat there and cried but I know it was a long time. After that I was different. I was different towards my friends and Uncle. I was kind of a slug. I wanted to be alone and locked up somewhere. I didn't want to think about her to much because it made my heart ache. I could never move on and forget. It was just too much for me to handle.

Katara

I couldn't believe it. It was over just like that. And what he said. I was in shock. I was sad because it wouldn't matter. I would no longer be with him. Then all of a sudden he reached down to kiss me and… I was gone. I was gone. Katara was no longer a part of the world.

I woke up somewhere…different. I didn't know where I was. I just stood up and looked around. Nothing. I looked at my hands and I could see right through them. That's when I heard a familiar voice.

"I was hoping I would never see you here. At least not now." He walked slowly towards me. That's when I got a good look at Jet's face.

"Jet you're-." I started.

"Not exactly. We're gone. We no longer belong to that world. We are now with the spirits." I was a little scared now.

"It's not so bad Katara." He began coming closer to my face. He was still the smooth charming Jet I knew before. He took my hand into his and was taking me somewhere.

"I think this will cheer you up." What was he talking about? And then I saw her. It was my mother. I touched my neck. But my mother's necklace wasn't there. Ii walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder.

"Mom?" My voice began to crack with tears streaming down my face. She turned around and she began to cry. I hugged her tightly.

"It's ok Mom I'm with you now." I began to laugh but my mother remained quiet.

"What's wrong?" I started to wipe my tears away.

"You're dead. You can't be. Not now."

"I know but we'll be happy together again."

"But what about your brother and your father?" Wow I completely forgot about that. I forgot about my family down on earth. What would they think?

"It's ok Kya. I'll take her to see them." See them what was he even talking about.

"Wait you can do that?" And before he could even answer we were looking at Zuko sitting against a tree.

"What is he doing here? I didn't want to see him." Jet began as he grabbed my hand as if we were about to leave.

"Wait. Jet."

"You know this guy?"

"Yeah. I do." I smiled and watched to see what he was doing. He looked so sad. I walked toward him and I heard Jet calling my name behind me. I just stood in front of him and looked at him smiling.

"Zuko?" Nothing. I sat next to him and kissed him on his check. I knew he couldn't here me and I knew he didn't feel it but I did it anyway.

"I'm will find a way to see you again. I will." I got up and walked towards Jet. He had hid arms crossed and on eye brow up.

"What are you jealous?" I smiled.

"No." He turned his head away. "Let's just get out of here."

Zuko

I got ready for bed. I was really tired. That's when I heard a knock at my door. I slowly made my way out of the bed and answered the door. It was Mai. She put her arms around my neck and kissed my. I stood there with the blankest expression on my face and my eyes half way closed. I didn't even react to her kiss.

"Hey."

"What is it with you?! Ever since Katara passed you've been …different. I really don't like it Zuko! Just forget her, move on that was the past we are now in the future!" Well that woke me up.

"What are you doing here so late anyway?" I began scratching my head.

"Zuko…it's not even 7:30 yet." What?!

"Well goodnight then." I closed the door in her face. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. I opened the door again. Her face looked kind of funny when I looked at her, her jaw dropped. She was in shock that I just closed the door in her face. I bet she was thinking to herself 'Oh no he didn't'.

"Oh yeah, Mai. I will never forget her." Then I closed the door in her face once more. I headed for the bed. While passing by I grabbed the necklace that was on my dresser then climbed into bed. I held the necklace close to my face. I could still smell her sweet smell on it.
