Chapter 10: Turn in life.
Both me and Zuko looked at Ursa and Yue. What would they do now? Now when both of us stood here and had confessed? And then, both of their faces broke up in a smile.
"Right words, Katara." Yue said. I looked confused at them, right words?

"Ursa!" I looked at the ship and an angry fire lord came out. Fast as a lightning Zuko took a new step and protected me with whole his body.
"Yes, dear?" She asked calm.
"This is a betrayal! Don't let it pass!"

"It's a change in the alliance that Yue have agreed with." I looked at Yue. That her eyes had said that I had betrayed her, that was real, but now this? I don't understand!
"Take my wife and the princess onboard! That's an order!" The guards grabbed both Yue and Ursa and took them onboard.
"Don't do this, dear!" Ursa shouted but he didn't listen. With fury he looked at his son.

"Do you wish to be exiled again, son?" He asked.
"If that's what needed to give me freedom enough to marry the girl I love, then yes. But you need me, father, and you know that." They stared each other in the eyes a long time but then Ozai turned his eyes to me. I could see the fury burn in his golden eyes and he made a decision.
"Fine. I will agree in that you love her." A small smile appear at Zuko's lips.

"So you agree with the new alliance?" Both of us relaxed.
"No. I said I agreed with that you love her. Nothing more." Fast as a lightning he pushed Zuko away from me and before I could react he grabbed me and dragged me to his body and locked me against it. I tried to get free under the time Zuko raised from the snow but it was like fighting a wall!
"Father! Let her go! She didn't knew I was at the ship and I have stopped her from sending any letters to the fire nation!" Zuko shouted and his dad gave him a hard look.
"That doesn't matter! She made you betray the alliance! She captured you, my wife and the princess under a spell! She is a witch and should be burned as one!" He said angry and my face became pale.

"No! I will not let you kill her because of my choice!"
"But I will! Both of you will be punished for this! Guards, put handcuff at him and prevent him from bending!" Zuko tried to fight the guards but he was in a clear disadvantage.
"Zuko! Stop it!" I shouted. "You will just make it worse for you!" He looked at me and just stood there with his golden eyes at me. I was doomed as a witch but I could still save his skin a bit, help him from getting in a worsen situation then he already was in!

I looked up at the cell window. It was sunset soon, my fifth in here. A few days under the trip at the ship and now five days in here. I had heard that Zuko was released from his room but not allowed to come here. I sighed leaved my lips, I pulled up my knees to my chin, rested my head at my knees and closed my eyes.
I hadn't get any judgment yet but it would come sooner or later but I already knew what the fire lord wanted to do: Burn me in front of his sons eyes. He had made that clear the first day I was put in prison for this.

I looked up when the keys turned around and the door opened. Someone in a cloak came in and stopped before the metal cell and then pulled back the hood.
"General Iroh!" I said surprised. He sat down at his knees and smiled sadly to me.
"I'm sorry that you need to go through this, Katara. I'm here to keep you company: They will settle your judgment today." I nod and rested my chin against my knees again.

"Want to hear a story, general Iroh?"
"About forbidden love?" I nod and looked at him. He nodded to.
"Long ago, there was a young waterbender girl. She traveled around the world in order to get new knowledge. She followed the stream and was always in movement: Just like the river. But one man changed her. A man that first ignored her so she stayed in the town.

After a while she captured his eyes and they became friends and after a while even more than that. They became lovers. But then she gets to know his secret: He was a firebender and at that time it was forbidden for to persons in different elements to be in love. But that didn't stop them. He was a stubborn firebender and ignored the law because of love and so did she, but it became a punishment in the end. A man from the village told the kings of their nations and they got captured and hold in their respective nation. But one day the news reached the firebender: The fire lord had killed his lover." Iroh looked sad at me but didn't say anything more then:

"What did he do?"
"He became furious at the fire lord and started the Rebels in order to get revenge for what he had done to her. And he did get it and became the fire lord himself."
"So he was Zuko's ancestor?" I nod.
"And I guess the history repeats. The waterbender will be killed and the firebender will get furious and push the fire lord of his thrown." Iroh nod.
"That has a very big chance to happen." I looked at him once more.

"Iroh, please stop him if he try! He can't stand a chance against Ozai!"
"I know, but not even me, his mother or the spirits can stop him if the will do the same as his ancestor." We looked at the door when guards came in.
"Katara of the Southern Water Tribe. Your judgment has come and you shall be burned to death right now in the sunset. So rise." I looked chocked at them, just like Iroh, but rose. It was time to meet the flames. What a turn in life I have got.
