A Change of Heart Part 15
Katara woke to a dark room not able to see anything and wishing she could sleep, but she had so much on her mind; most of Zuko. She knew why he saved her, but when she looked into his eyes it told her it wasn't true like Iroh said. It's been weeks since she last saw Aang and her brother and she didn't even know if they were still on the island or if they left, but she was glad they were listening to the letter she wrote to them about not finding her.
"Okay Aang we have to go find Katara-," Sokka said as he took a bite out of a banana. "It's been weeks and we don't even know where she it"
"Sokka she's with Zuko, but she told us not to look for her" Aang said with worry in his voice as he looked up at the green trees blowing in the wind; leaves falling off and floating away in the breeze.
"And when has that stopped you?"
"I don't know, but usually when it has to do with Zuko I would go after him, but for some strange reason my mind is telling me not to go"
"Well your mind is rattled up" Sokka said. Momo crouched down behind some tall grass that was near Sokka so he couldn't be seen; except for his ears. "So what are we suppose to do? Just sit here and wait?" Sokka asked as he swung his banana around. Momo took the chance to leap out and grab it. "Ah my banana!" Sokka cried as he got up and chased Momo around.
Aang did care about Katara a lot, but he kept hearing avatar Roku saying not to go and wait here when he fell asleep. He didn't understand why and never got the chance to ask him, because he always ended up fading away. Aang didn't like the idea, but even before avatar Roku told him not to go, he also had the feeling inside saying not too.
Aang was broken out of his thought when he heard Sokka screaming at Momo.
"Momo get down from the tree and give back my banana!" Sokka cried; Momo just dropped the banana peel on top of his head and Aang laughed at the picture.
Katara kept waking up in the middle of the night wishing it was morning, because she couldn't sleep at all. About the fourth time she woke up she decided it would be useless to try and sleep since she would just wake up and looked at the metal ceiling; it was a silver color with little diamond designs in it. She saw some black circle which was probably from Zuko losing his temper and shoot fire out, like the one he created near the chair.
Katara moved to her side so she was facing Zuko's bed and starred at his feet. She didn't know how he could sleep, but she couldn't and it was probably because of what he said. It was hard to believe that he didn't mean to hurt her when he was the one who clearly threw her with such force that it injured her.
She didn't understand how some days they are okay with each other and other they just fight. She didn't realize that morning was coming since she couldn't see, but she saw Zuko start to get up and guess it could be morning or maybe it's been morning and she hasn't noticed.
She narrowed her eyes so it looked like she was sleeping as she starred at him. He came out of the bed his right hand scratching the back of his jet black long hair which was a mess, his tired eyes half closed and half opened, his gray t-shirt wrinkled a little, and his black and gray plaid boxers scrunched up. She couldn't help but notice he was good looking.
Zuko let out an exhausted yawn as he ran his fingers through his hair. He felt the cold metal against his feet and it didn't bother him. He looked over at Katara and saw her eyes closed and didn't bother to wake her since he had no use for her right now. He walked over towards his closet and opened the door not knowing what to wear.
Katara quietly shifted her body over so she could see what he was doing as she kept her eyes narrowed. He was standing in front of the closet just starring at the clothes inside of it. He looked off today and seemed like he really wasn't paying attention to what he was doing since he usually just grabs an outfit.
He got out a light red blouse, dark red edge, light red bloomers, long vest, lined, small "fire" patch in front bottom, and a sash. He walked over to the shower slowly and when he shut the door behind him Katara opened her eyes completely. She heard the shower be turned on as she sat up. Katara looked down at the blanket around her legs and let out a sigh. She was getting tired of being here and wished Zuko would just let her go and she knew he wouldn't; she just wished he did.
She heard her stomach growl and it's been a week since she seemed to last eaten a distant meal or at the very least drink some liquid when she felt her throat dry. She thought when Zuko came out of the shower she would ask for a cup of water, but he probably wouldn't give it to her since she was a water bender, but she was weak from not eating and dehydrated so she wouldn't be able to put up a good fight and beside there in the middle of the ocean.
Katara ears perked up when she heard the water turn off and the shower door open and close. She wanted to stand up, but for some reason her legs wouldn't move from the sitting position; she was frozen to the floor as she starred at the bathroom door; waiting for the door knob to turn.
Minutes seemed to fly by as she waited patiently for the movement of the knob. She wondered what he could possibly be doing in there besides getting dressed that it was taking long. She felt liked she hasn't blinked her eyes just fixated on the door knob; until she finally saw it turn slowly and she quickly blinked feeling like she was out of the trance she was put in and laid back down; her eyes narrowing.
Zuko walked out fully dressed, but his hair dripping water and his eyes still sleepy. He felt off today as he walked forward; looking down at Katara. He had no emotion on his face and he saw Katara eyes close completely knowing she was up and watching him. He smirked a little as he walked to his bedroom door thinking about something. 'She's been on this ship for a while and nothing changed about the avatar' he thought as he walked out of his room. 'I really don't need her if she won't open her mouth' but the problem was what was he going to do with her now?
