Prompt: 33: Fear
Takes Place: Sozin's Comet'
Characters: Zuko, Katara, Azula.
A/N: Part 2 of the Three-Parter. More of a Katara introspective than anything, but I like her a bit. More than Mai, anyway. (frowns)
In her short lifetime, Katara has been scared before. When they took her mother, when Zuko had kidnapped Aang, when Azula had killed Aang, and many other times. But she has never been scared like this, no...never like this. To see any of her comrades injured, it hurts. But to see Zuko injured, perhaps fatally, after taking that blow for her, it is terrifying. Only when she hears Azula cackle, does her fear turn into rage that she can wield. She somehow, if only through a Tui granted miracle, bests the once proud Princess. Fear replaces the anger in her veins as she runs to Zuko's side, trying to heal the damage. It isn't too late, but she still fears for her friends life. SHe looks down as golden eyes open, and he smiles tiredly.
"Thank you, Katara."
And with those three words, the fear leaves her.
Heart's Note: I know I said not to comment on the pairing, but where are all the reviews for this story? More than 300 hits so far, and only 5 reviews? That's less than I'd hoped for...
