I do not own avatar:TLA

Zuko P.O.V

For the next three days we had a routine: Wake up, Eat while Katara healed my wounds with the water, nap, Dinner, heal. Then before we lay down for bed Katara would gather as much water as possible from the air and we would drink, then we would lay down and sleep. But on the fourth day our routine interrupted.

"Azula" I said my voice filled hatred and disgust

"Hello brother, you're doing better. Guards!" she yelled and two guards walked in and grabbed me.

Katara P.O.V

I watched as the two guards walked in and grabbed him. I knew what would happened as soon as they left, and I was terrified, not for me but for Zuko. Before I even knew what I was doing I ran straight for Azula. But she must have been watching, for she caught me before I could even lay a finger on her!

"He'll pay for that water wench" she whispered in my ear while twisting my arms behind my back.

"KATARA!" I heard Zuko shout

"Oh don't worry, she'll be fine"

"Zuko! Please take me instead, PLEASE!" I said I could feel the tears pouring down my face.

"Katara, I'll be fine."

"No….no you won't Zuko!"

"Don't worry water bender, I'll take good care of him" I could hear the amusement in her voice. Just as the guards started to leave, Azula stopped them.

"Wait!"She shouted with a smile, they stopped.

"I have a better idea!"

Zuko P.O.V

I watched as my sister put on a sinister smile.

"Wait!" I watched as the guards stopped just before we exited the door.

"Chain him to the wall" They carried me to the wall where there was a pair of metal cuffs hanging. I didn't even notice them before. They backed away and I watched as Azula tied Katara's arms behind her back.

"There! Now you can watch."Azula said as she walked over to me. One of the guards handed her a whip, which she took. She pulled it back. But at the last moment she threw the opposite hand forward, her fist full of fire. The whip I had expected, but not this I let out an involuntary scream of agony.

"Awwww… did I hurt you Zuzu!" Azula yelled with a laugh she then took the whip, but this time I didn't scream. I didn't even wince, it hurt it hurt like hell, but I didn't scream. I knew Katara couldn't handle it.

"SCREAM!" Azula hollered after a couple of hits. But I didn't reply I just looked forward, she then pulled out a knife. Where she stabbed me right up the ribs, the scream ripped from my throat before I could stop it.

Katara P.O.V

I sat there and watched, he didn't scream, and his blood was all over the floor. I watched her anger build. "SCREAM!"She hollered She then took out a knife, she stabbed him in his ribs.. He let out an agonized scream, she grinned and twisted it, he didn't scream but I could see it in his eyes he was holding it back. Then I snapped, my eyes unfocused and I saw red, bright red. Water rushed down the halls, and the rope holding me snapped. I watched as she turned around, with a flick of my wrist the water formed five ice daggers, that then flew at her they buried themselves into her legs. I then turned to the guards, the guards that had chained him, helped Azula, handed her the whip, the one that hurt him. Blinded by my rage I threw them to the wall, freezing them there, but I didn't kill them. I turned to Zuko, his eyes were drooping. I cut the chains holding him to the wall, catching him before he hit the ground. I formed an ice bed that lifted his body from the ground. I heard the footsteps, but I didn't care, I turned and walk through the halls. Every soldier in my way was easily knocked to the side, when I made it to the deck there was at least 100 soldiers there.

"I swear on the moon goddess if you don't move I will kill you!" I yelled I was blinded by rage, a rage that I could not control. They all moved and I went to the side of the ship making an ice raft, I then jumped over the edge bringing Zuko with me. I then took off, The men looked over the side of the ship before running to find their princess. As we sailed I could hear his rough breathing. After awhile my rage calmed taking with it my strength, when we arrived on land, I dragged Zuko up and collapsed on him.

Zuko P.O.V

I woke coughing, I crawled my way to the water where I continued to cough and spit blood from my mouth. I didn't have the energy to keep going; I was drowning, drowning in my own blood for Agni's sake! Finally, I collapsed; I knew I was going to die. "Uncle I'm sorry, so… so sorry, I'm going to see mom I'll tell her you said hi." I whispered and right before the darkness took me I whisper my last words "Good bye Katara."

I was awoken by the sound of coughing and the smell of blood. I looked around and saw him about fifteen feet away by the water where he coughed up blood. Panic set in, fear griping my heart. When he collapsed I ran over to him dropping to his side. I heard him whisper "Good bye Katara"

"NO! DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ME ZUKO!" He was giving up, he never gave up! The tears fell down, He had stopped breathing. But I could hear the gurgling coming from his throat. He was drowning in his own blood, I then bended the liquid from his mouth. I pulled water from the ocean and began healing but this time I didn't stop, I kept going till everything was healed. Every… single… scrape, there was no way I was stopping. Finally every wound was gone; I placed my head on his chest, and then wrapped my arms around him. There I fell asleep.

Note: I'm sorry it took so long! I was swamped with homework this weekend! But I promise to update maybe today or tomorrow, but I promise to! Hope you liked this sorry, for y'all who don't like blood or violence! Now to start writing the next chapter!
